DUBES:
I’m happy U found the courage and strength to go back and correct ur mistakes. U see most times we think of dictation will help us get better jobs but that’s not actually true. Education is part of what U need to be a fully shape individual as it will broaden ur horizon about life and existence. If we think of it as what we need to get a job and it’s not forthcoming or people we knw who are educated don’t have good jobs to show for it then we may get discouraged and that’s where most people get it wrong. I’m so proud of U and pray God will see U thru U will also graduate very soon and be successful to make ur story very interesting and peculiar

Amen

two weeks before exams. Pls which school is that again?

UniJos 2016/2017 session... It was a miraculous something

Streetdreamx:
Don't ever think about your past, always think about your present and future because when you do it affects your present and future. That time wasn't yours or probably God wanted to shade you off from something.

Sometimes, it's good to check the rearview mirror. The problem is FOCUSING on the rearview mirror. I definitely wouldn't focus on my past

repogirl:
Thank you for this.

I'm glad it touched someone.

adewest1999:
Seriously this post has changed the way I view life.....op thanks for sharing but guy you gats dey happy ehn.... no first position for this life opo... laslas everybody go dey alright

I'm happy for second chance o.

tojahh:
Well this sounds in a shades right. No time is late to retrace and start all over, imagine some of your erstwhile classmates must have dropped, dead, sick, relocated hence they're not graduating as at when due. So cheer up.. Nothing do you my brother.


Meanwhile I'm curious since your mum is not sponsoring your education, and you said you have no money to buy the equipments needed for your photography skills, how are you financing yourself through school?

I don't have money to buy equipments to boost my photography. But I still use the camera to hustle small jobs when I'm free. Small small, I dey manage pay fees. Thankfully,no be private university, so I pay during second semester.

catwalq:
You know you don't really have to go right? You could just Send congratulatory messages to the couple of em who still chat with you. You got a second chance and that's all the motivation you need.

Induction this year or upper year,all na induction,some never even get the admission. Just keep your head in dem books and oppress those who look down on you with your first class. Stay winning bro..

Thanks...

nzeobi:
it's better late than never, by the time you graduate you will notice that some of them are still having issues or aren't employed yet.

so am happy you returned back to school.

I hope none of them have issues Sha. I wish them the very best. They deserve it

kingphilip:
It's really good you realized on time and picked yourself up.

Many people never had the privilege of picking themselves up that early and are in greater regrets.

As someone above said, get dressed and go celebrate your friends because it's their day of joy and you'd be glad you did

I wish I had the courage to go

SageMK:
Nice of you to share.

However bro, it's time for you to get over the pain of not graduating with them. I think you should dress up nicely, and attend to celebrate with your friends. Trust me, It'll motivate you greatly towards achieving your goal.

I was considering this o. My attire is neatly ironed inside my wardrobe. I'm still apprehensive about going tho. And I can't really call many of them friends. Many started looking down on me or shunning me outrightly. I don't blame them, I guess it's a thing of "Bad energy, stay far away". Just one or two who still chat with and encourage me.

deltateam:
Op you may never know who you will save or have saved with this inspirational story.

Thank God you came back to your senses. Don't worry about your 'mates' who have graduated. You will soon get there and might even acquire a first class result due to your new found passion.

Congratulations in advance!

Front page please.

Thanks much. First class is def the goal now. My GP for 100 and 200 are pretty high, I just need to maintain it and maintain I will.

2014, I got admitted to study Medical Lab Science with connections from the provost of Federal Med lab school and many well known lecturers in the university even though my waec and jamb were excellent (2 As, 5 B3, 1 C4 and a score of 246 in Jamb).

I don't even know who or what was directly involved. . But when I started, I was very unmotivated. I really can't tell why. Maybe wrong associations, maybe cos it wasn't medicine, I don't know.

After the first semester of 100 level, I left the university. One of the lecturers who aided my admission begged me to rescind my decision or at least to defer it. In her exact words, 'I'd regret my decision'. Still I left without deferring.

My widowed mum was terribly heart broken. I was hers and my late dad's pride. I was the most intelligent of her three kids. I remember telling her that 'School na scam, if I do business, I go make am quicker'. She always told me and my siblings that we weren't cut out for business life. Still I ventured into photography. Spent 6 months in training to become a pro photographer. In 2015, I bought my own Nikon D3200 camera and a second hand hp laptop. I started meager jobs. I was earning small cash here and there. To be a top photographer tho, I needed equipments; a good Speedlite, good zoom and prime lenses, not my ordinary 18-55mm kit lens, soft boxes, and so on. And these would cost money. Money I didn't have. My camera and laptop were the only thing I could afford then.

Few months later, I started regreting my decision of leaving school. I would see my former coursemates in town and they'd ask questions on why I left, but I really couldn't provide any tangible reason for leaving. One even showed me some of my first semester grades and I was almost in tears 'cause I did very well. I was almost getting depressed late 2015. 2016 came and it started just as dull. But just before the closing date for Jamb registration was due, I bought a form. Same course (Medical Laboratory Science), same university. This time around, I would do everything low key without asking for anyone's assistance. I wrote jamb and got a score of 259. I checked on jamb portal when admission status began to be checked and lo and behold, I was admitted. I called my mom and even though she was happy for me, she told me, she wasn't gonna sponsor my admission this time. I was heartbroken but I can't blame her to be very honest. But then, we started hearing news that our admission would be cancelled because of accreditation issues. In fact, our names weren't included in the school's admission portal. School started and still, no news. But I was convinced God was giving me a second chance, so I started attending lectures even though we didn't know our fate. Two weeks before exams, our accreditation issues were resolved and our names finally appeared on the school's portal. Medical lab sci, biochem, and slt had this problem. So two weeks was added for us to receive short additional lectures, while others were writing exams. That was how my second chance began.

I'm presently in 300 level. Today, my former coursemates would be inducted as MEDICAL LABORATORY SCIENTISTS. I couldn't sleep at all. I would not go to the induction as I may not be able to control the tears. I SHOULD HAVE BEEN AMONG THE INDUCTING STUDENTS, BUT I THREW IT ALL AWAY. The most painful words anyone can utter in life are, "HAD I KNOWN". Don't make costly mistakes that would make you say these words!!!

lordragner:
You think you are depressed and you know what it means to go through difficult times. Trust me you dont but you will find out soon when you drop out without a degree certificate. I have seen what is about to happen to you happen to my friend. He is a singer and performer and was making money from shows. he got admission to read a course he didn't like and was unmotivated. His father told him to try and finish even if with a pass certificate. My guy abandoned his school in his final year to sing song. today his younger brother has also dropped out and his defense is "i am not the first person to do it in this family". Today my friend is chasing undergraduate admission doesn't mind the course because he has become a yard stick of ridicule , something that he got without stress 8 years ago. His fiancees family rejected him....they couldn't allow their daughter who has a MSC and studied abroad marry a university dropout, shes now married to a Doctor.. My guy no longer gets invites for shows and concerts though he still makes money as he has gone into music production. But he has missed out on so many opportunities even an Exxon Mobil job (his father is well connected) because he doesn't have a certificate. He is now seen as someone who is not reliable and doesnt finish what he starts just because of one stupid action. Thats a story his kids will eventually hear. that their father couldnt finish school (When he is not bill gates or zuck). One lesson i learnt is "Always do something whenever your mates are doing it" even if you dont know how to do it. You have the "Wisdom of the crowd that knows you" to help you. He is my physical representation of Job in the bible, cos I have never seen someone endure so many misfortunes till the point his family has left him alone (they still blame him for his younger brother dropping out and he blames himself for it too) . I am sure if he could do things differently he ll try his best to finish with a certificate. My guy now knows depression he understands it, you dont...at least not yet.

This is the only advice I'd side with. 2014, I got admitted to study med Lab sci with connections from a provost of med lab school and many well known lecturers even though my waec and jamb were excellent (2 As, 5 B3, 1 C4 and a score of 246 in Jamb).

NicestDude:
Them s4 users "play all HD games" except PES... Players b floating like they in space ...

Yanmyfeh:
I equally hate Transsion devices but definitely not a10 over s4.....whether we all hate on mediatek more than tgat the helio p22 chipset is way more efficient than Samsung's exynos 7884 chipset not even when the S4 has 3gb ram again.....A20 can contend but definitely not A10.....
SAY THE TRUTH EVEN IF Y'ALL DISLIKE INFINIX

Exynos 7884 is actually better than helio P22. The only area where the S4 would shine is in it's battery. U won't notice too much difference in RAM management (S4 3GB version) Even gameplay on the A10 is a lot smoother than the crappy performance ud get on the Helio P22 chip. Compare the phone side by side, ud be shock what Samsung is offering with that budget beast

atheistandproud:
I have always felt Infinix was overhyped even in my Transsion days. I have always and will always pick Tecno over Infinix. I have used the Tecno L9+ and the Tecno Pouvoir 2. Strong sturdy phones. Very battery efficient but lacking in every other aspect.

The idea that Transsion phones are cheap is now a strong urban myth. On the contrary, their phones are getting more expensive yet they have not improved on their phone specifications.

Then performance. Have you tried to play a heavy game like PUBG or tried to cast a movie to your TV or type with a keyboard? You'll see that Transsion uses substandard processors.

I love Tecno, I used it. My immediate brother uses a Spark 2, I got a Pouvoir 2 for the one after him, my girlfriend uses a Spark 2 as well. These people are just normal users.

But what's bad is bad. The world is changing and Tecno isn't stepping up. One day people will want more from their phones and Transsion will fall horribly.

If these transsion fan boys can't see this and accept it as nothing but the truth, I'm done

King1Baratheon:
Dont get me wrong, whatever sense of judgement am giving is based on my experience using wide variety of these mobiles. I won't force you to pick a mobile over another, because at the end of the day, it trims down to user's preference.
I also didn't wanna join the argument brewing on this thread, because I made arguments like this 3 to 4years back and I believe I'm past that now.

Now, the second paragraph of your writeup. I understand that on paper, infinix s4 would seem like a high quality device and I also understand the difference in RAM between both devices. But there is something you should note, phone performance is never fully dependent on the size of the RAM alone. Many other factors could easily make a 2gb RAM phone perform similarly or even better than a 6gb RAM phone, one of which is obviously the system's platform I.e the chipsets, the clock speed, the CPU and some other important Criterias. That's where the s4 suffers.

Let's look at the Display Resolution of the both phones. Both phones are resoluted to a manageable 271 ppi. On paper this seems to be equal, the difference can only be noticed when both mobiles are placed side by side. It's well known that phone manufacturers easily lie about specification especially Transsion mobiles that's not operating under a regulatory body.

I've compared other specifications, the only area I think the infinix S4 will win is when it comes to the battery strength. I've lauded Infinix for their efforts on producing very efficient battery capacities. That's the only place the Samsung A10 will lack.

For a phone that's not worth 50k, the Samsung A10 still performs function of high end devices, same cannot be said about the infinix s4( user reviews can back me up)

You're right jare. It's not about putting on paper that ur device comes with 10gb of RAM... if a phone with 3gb of RAM slays it in actual performance, OYO is the person's case

Mizik:
Yes My Nokia X5 played it flawlessly on The Highest settings...
Nd i got the phone for 48k

And Infinix S4 sells for about 58k, chai

photon3106:
See you, now who is the liar? Thought you said I was lying... Smh

I know of other haters but you? I really don't know whether you're becoming one or you're already one .

Anyway, which ever one you belong, here is a fact for you: Your hate has not and can not yield any productive result because Transsion does not know you, people will continue to buy Transsion products irrespective of your view/opinion and the number of Infinix users will continue to grow daily (who cares whether you like it or not).

You talk of 'liberation' and 'showing people the way'. If indeed you have strong conviction about these vision and mission of yours, you would have taken your campaigns beyond the 'realms' of nairaland. I wonder why you're limiting your scope to only Nairaland Infinix users and disturbing the same thread in the process. Anyways, carry on for you haters keep this thread interesting and I will continue to quote and comment whenever I want.

I take me campaigns to several platforms, nairaland inclusive. I'm confident someone is following this thread and is getting more informed. Maybe, just maybe, this may even push itel, tecno and Infinix to do better. Las Las, na wetin we dey find be that

photon3106:
You haters you can come and say something about this because you always have things to spill out.

This is not the first commenter here who has no problem with Transsion. Intact this is not a one time user. Take note!

I'm sure if this user didn't comment now, people like ityp will easily conclude that people who have no problem with Transsion products do not exist because they are not speaking on NAIRALAND.

Haters continue... I dey gbadun una

I've used worse phones brother and it didn't give me problem. Especially when na only calls and messages I dey do ... Our argument here is that Infinix and tecno, compared to other OEMs, give less for more bucks... Only tecno, Infinix and itel will still be putting Helio P22 and HD+ res on phones that cost more than 50k... If u can't see this, then I'm sorry for u

dahgifted:
is the a5 pro camera better than that of power?

Umidigi says it is

armyofone:
Give her 5k charity and block her.

5k in this Buhari regime? Abeg 500 naira is ok

Most so called suicide cases in Naija are actually homicide. The easiest way to kill someone now without anyone finding out is to poison his or her food with sniper and before u know it, everyone will be shouting suicide up and down ...

tfash96:
Hey nigga no dey listen to most of advices here o... The world especially naija don dey full of principalities,wicked people and so on.. So we go just dey wicked each other dey go.. My advice to u make sure u 4k her pussy tire out of her body b4 u give her anything so she no go dey use u form boss and start to dey call u maga,mugu n so on..

Guy, u wicked Sha o. Can't u just help the needy? Abeg send the babe 500 naira, that one will do her. And God will still bless u

michealdeco:
Judge this two picture



Goddamn it

Helio p23 for 64k when I can get helio p60 for 66k

Infinix needs to be declared a criminal Company and probed for their criminal activities in Nigeria

Who dash Infinix S4 Helio P23 sef? Na P22 dey the phone ooo... And u even forgot about the FHD+ resolution of the Umidigi F1 play as well as the much bigger battery... My brother, true true, Infinix and tecno na major scam

stanboy28:
what about the 6gb ram s4

RAM doesn't improve gameplay bro. RAM is for multitasking. Gameplay is the job of the GPU and in some way the Processor. All the versions of Infinix S4 comes with the same NONSENSE PowerVR GE8320 GPU and another NONSENSE Helio P22 processor... So expect same NONSENSE performance from the 6Gb version..

stanboy28:
issit the s4 pro u are using cos my normal s4 3gb ram lags and the players are flying

There is no S4 pro bro... The guy was just lying ..

Lol... But one of them liars here said he plays PES 2019 smoothly on Infinix S4 ko Note 5

photon3106:
Examine yourself first before tagging someone else a liar. Who typed this or was this not where my comment about bricking started? I don't have time to dig out old post but I did for this one so I can know whether you've joined the ways of those jobless blackemailers.

One of ur co supporters brought in the bricking issue first... I didn't... Since u're good at digging, dig and find that out ok

photon3106:
Lolz... The guy is a realist he Sabi pass the Infinix haters . So allow me e skool dem abeg. Those haters deserve to be educated.

On what exactly?

photon3106:
I did not bring bricking issue into the matter. By the way, suppose I did, that's not enough reason to conclude that 'infinix phone too dey Brick's and why on earth will I accept such fallacy?

You can lie Sha. U actually brought bricking into the issue. I didn't. Cos I know most times when a phone gets bricked, it is most likely the fault of the user. I was arguing specs-to-price ratio when u brought in bricking issues on Xiaomi
