*LIFE IN PHARMACY SCHOOL*

I remember when I had my first carryover in the school of pharmaceutical studies, Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria. I actually thought I was going to die because of the pain I was feeling. I moved around like a widow. I would hide myself in deserted buildings and cry from morning till night. For two days, I refused to eat anything.
I stopped picking my parents’ calls because I couldn't even imagine telling them that I had failed at school. So I continued to cry and starve myself. I was having a new experience in my life- that of failure. I grew up being the best in everything and was always at the top of my class effortlessly. In fact, years after I left secondary school, I met one of my teachers who asked me,
“Hope you’re still carrying on your legacy of profound academic excellence?”
And the thing with pharmacy school is that our courses are linked in such a way that failing a single course (even in your first year) can give you an automatic extra year. It doesn’t even matter if your GPA is 4.89. They are called prerequisites. We even had courses that you could only pass with an A or a B. C was a fail.
And we didn't have “resits” or summer school- a chance to stay back and rewrite those courses at the end of the semester or session when your mates are at home. Nah. You just have to wait an entire year to retake the frigging course!
When I finally spoke to my dad that first time, he said,
“I know you've never failed at anything before and this must feel like your entire world just crumbled. But you’ve to get up and try again. You'll be fine.”
Damn. Pharmacy school didn't get any easier. The lectures from morning till evening all through the week except on Sundays, the millions of tests, assignments and practicals we had to run... I watched my colleagues getting withdrawn left, right and centre. People were taking drugs, caffeine to stay awake and read through the night. One of my classmates nearly lost his mind because he was smoking marijuana just so he could keep up with his study load.
At the time, if there was any attempted suicide incident in ABU, Zaria, that person was most likely a pharmacy student. There was even a case of a guy who threw himself from the third floor of Suleiman hostel upon seeing his results.
I learnt how to cram in pharmacy school. I realized that my method of studying to learn was holding me back because all some of the lecturers wanted to see was exactly what they taught you. And there were courses you had no choice but to cram- all those diagrams, chemical structures, dates and classifications. If you’re bad at cramming in pharmacy school, you’ll fail woefully.
But then at the back of your mind, you're expected to have an understanding of all you are being taught nonetheless. Because in your final year, you would be required to remember all you have been taught from your first or second year to pass most of your courses.
What am I trying to say?
I learnt how to look failure in the eye and tell it I wasn’t backing down come what may because of ABU, Zaria. Trust me, failure was and is still one of my greatest fears. In fact it is my biggest driving force. But I learnt to turn failure into a goldmine. I allowed it to remould me and refine me. I’m stronger and better today because I know what it means to fall but not to stay down.
I know that failure can do one of two things to everyone of us- turn you into an even bigger failure or become the spring board to an even more amazing success story. I had colleagues in pharmacy school, Zaria who never recovered from their first set of carryovers. They became so overwhelmed that they had to eventually leave.
That’s why I keep saying this- the power to be almost anything you want to be lies in your mind. If you can conquer your fears, you can conquer anything. But if you already feel defeated inside of you, there’s really no way you are going to succeed at any task.
So wake up every morning with a victorious attitude, tell yourself these words as often as possible,
“I’m stronger/bigger than this challenge/
phase/pain. This challenge/phase/pain will only do one thing- make me better/
stronger.”
And then go right ahead to put in the needed effort required to achieve your goals or projects.
Never forget- the power to change your story lies in your hands...

Nice one dear.. .Pharmacy school no be beans.. ..to get awarded with B Pharm or Pharm D u have to put in everything, strength cramming understanding ,staying late into the night,jst to mention a few .Dat was the exact life we had to leave during my period of schooling at unijos Amist the cold and Jos crisis.Thank God We made it

YahuBoi:
please I need you guys to look into this matter am facing with God now.

I applied for a federal university last year, I confronted God through counselling in a very good church. the lord passed through his servant and told me that I will get admission that year and I will get my admission letter (2016/2017)
he kept saying this same thing every time I approached him.

now last year passed and I wasn't admitted, I was very angry with him because he failed me, not only that, but he also made me to lose my trust in him by going against his words in the bible like in Numbers 23:19, Matt 7:7-11, Jeremiah 33:3, Isaiah 54:4, Malachi 10:3 etc

I swept his church twice every week, pay my tithe, and worked in his ways.. I didn't miss a day without reading the bible.

I did so many things because I promised myself to work in his ways if he will fulfill his promise in my life just before he failed me.

after I made up my mind to shot him down, I decided to attend the last church service.

before I attended this service, I had a dream where someone took me outside and told me to look at the sky that on April which is my birthday that the lord will tell me deep things. and that in the future I will be a computer scientist.

I woke up from the dream feeling very angry because I never liked computer science and I was waiting to hear what the lord will tell me on my birthday as he said in the dream.


after some weeks, I had another dream where I saw my name written in a book which is for the candidates admitted.
as I looked closer, I noticed that I was admitted into computer science dept.

now this last dream convince me of the fact that the lord really wants me to be a computer scientist. I didn't like it because I wanted to study geology.

so after he failed me, on April, a day after my birthday, I went to the church to pay my last visit to the one that failed me ...

just then, the pastor called me out and told me that the lord wants me to write jamb again this year that he's seeing 3 countries waiting for me immediately after my graduation.

I was speechless, so finally the lord has done what he told me in the dream when he said he will tell me deep things on the month of my birthday? I thought

was that why he said I'll be a computer scientist?
did he want me to write another jamb again applying for computer science? hmm

just when I was thinking all this, the pastor pointed his hand to a man and told the man that the lord says that he should pay for my Jamb registration fees.

so after everything, I finally registered for jamb again this year even after I promised myself that i will never write jamb again after the lord failed me in his first promise..

this got me angry that after I registered for jamb, I refused to read and prepare for it because I wanted to see how powerful God is and how he will give me the admission this year or on how he will fail me again like he did the last time..

that was it, I registered for jamb and applied for computer science this time just to make the dream come true

because I got a lot of advice from my elderly ones that it was the lord that truly spoke to me in the dream and that I should do what he said


after the exams, I checked my result and i score 186.... hahahahaha very funny

the worst thing is that am using 2 sittings in my waec


now how will 186 give me admission to a very competitive course like computer science in a federal university?

is this how God's prophesy will fail again?

because am 300% sure that I cannot get admission with such a low score in jamb not to talk of the 2 sittings am using which is all C's


I'm just angry with myself because God has disgraced me because of this jamb of a thing


I didn't want to write jamb again after he failed me with his fake promise the first time

but he forced me to retake it, even going as far as to make someone pay for my jamb registration.

I'm just tired of his ways... he has disappointed me so many times...

what is paining me now is that he disgraced me in the front of the whole church with his jamb admission promises

now the whole church knows am a Jambite..

what if I don't get admitted this year?
that's how I will live in disgrace ... oh God!

out of all the 10 different prophecies he has prophesied in my life since 24 Nov 2016, non has come to pass...

sometimes I even force myself to make at least one of his prophesies pass so that I will have something to thank him for.

but it all fails

and now, this one is also yet to fail because am sure it won't be possible.

And I won't want to change to any less competitive course.. I want to see how all this will end and how his prophecy will fail again

I even scored better in jamb last year, yet still he couldn't give me the admission he promised to give me.... so na this year own him go fit give me?


abeg make una help me tell una God say him don try but make him leave me make I dey on my own since him no fit help or keep to all those him sweet words for bible not to talk of phillipians 19 where he said "he will supply to us ALL our needs according to his riches"

seriously I've stopped believing in all those nonsense written in the bible.

its now that I know that the bible was written and formulated by MAN

Bye God, the promise keeper... mtcheeew!

what a stupid write up, because one pastor claim to see vision for u, instead of reading ur book u choose to put God to test by not reading ur book but choose to do more of church work.. .havent u heard of Heavens help those who help themselves or u think God will come down from heaven and write ur xams for u... ..Oga God does work dat way... .....sory to say, I think ur one of the biggest fool have seen in a while, and if u continue like this u will keep getting below 200...so grow up

Ikare Akoko Orientation camp... What a camp! The commanders are friendly, jovial and the environment itself is accomodating. It is advisable you go to camp a day earlier because there will be one que after the other, and some of you guys are #Ajebutters and are not used to some kinda stresses... But if u can't make it a day before, try get to camp early that day. As per the things you will need... Things like buckets, permanent markers, ID card holders will be sold to you at the gate even before entering the camp. I bot my bucket at #300, a marker goes for #100, ID card holder was also #100. After u'v gottn all these, u will join a que; abi u think say u go just enter camp like that? No o... U go join que, ManOwar and Civil defence personnels will screen you in with ur callup letters, sch ID and statement of results.... Make sure u secure a beta position on the que cos after a que is another, the earlier u are thur with one the earlier u start the next. As they are screening you thru ur credentials they are also checking ur bags; shd incase any metal e.g clipper, blade, iron spoons, knife are inside. After u have been screened in, go to the front of the auditorium and join the next que, there u will line up according to the states ur institution fall. E.g. I finished from ABU, ABU is in Kaduna state, meaning i will join the kaduna line.... Na so. The purpose of this line is just to check ur certificate or statement of result and then sign on ur callup letter. After this is step 3; the longest que ever... Join this que to get registered. U will enter into the computer room with like 5copies each of ur credentials. Ur fingerprint will be taken and u will be given ur state code...e.g 401, 312, 423, 1000...the number is serial sha. The last digit of this number is ur platoon number. I was in platoon 9 then sha. Then enter the room next to it to collect the printout of ur details. Plus about 2 forms i think, fill those forms immediately and submit before leaving there. After that, u will see a man sitting on a chair ouside that same building, he will be holding tags, go to him and tell him ur number and the man will give u ur tag(if u are number 623, the tag will also be 623). Now go back to the auditorium, get a file there, put some copies of ur credentials, u will actually be told the ones to put inside. Then you are good to go and collect ur kits from ur platoon officer. How do u knw ur platoon officer? At the auditorium, all officers wud be there sitting and the name of the platoon wud be written on cardboard in front of them. Just go there and collect ur kits. Dnt mind the jargons u filled during online registration o...they will not use it. If u are lucky, u get ur size. If u are not, na Dele Momodu size u go get o! But the most important thing is this, while on the last que(the longest que i earlier talked about) just tell maybe the person in front of u that u will be ryt back, that he or she shd master ur position for u. Get out of the que and stroll down to the hostel, get urself the best bunk, put a matrass and secure a place. That's the best o! Nothing sweet past comfort o! After u don get ur kit, kit up and join the parade. That's the tradition! But if u are tired already...wch is normal, just keep ur kit and enter mammi to flex. You will start ur own parade the next morning... U will not need upto 10 passport self... After few days in camp, u will be told to snap with ur nysc crested vest, it is compulsory, a photographer is already assigned to do that for the whole corpers but u will pay #250. The photo will be used for the final POP photo album at the end of the service year. Tho it is the soft copy that they need but after few days u will be given printed copies for ur own personel use. Na 4copies sha. The first week in camp will not be easy, while the last week will be full of fun... You are to wake up as early as 4am, cos parade starts by 5am till 7. Breakfast by 8am. Another parade by 10am...in short, u won't even have time for urself. Soldiers will just be chasing u up and down with Bigul and whistles...Their popular say is...''we make u do things even when it is against ur wish''. To charge ur phones, u will do all that in Mammi, charging a device goes for #50. There is nothing you need that you won't get at Mammi. The camp has enof water so if u are a fish, u go bath tire. Some banks will come to camp, u will register with the bank ur number falls under. Mine fell under Firstbank and i collected my acct number and ATM b4 leaving d camp. As per food thins,...food dey make sense on sundays... Any oda days na trash! If na beans dem cook, omo na die o...cos na just one spoon dem go give u. Tea go be like water... Egusi soup go be like somtin else... But mind u, i ate all my food o...

I won't lie to you,Jos is a place where there is crisis. In fact Christians and Muslims dnt associate. A christian cant go to a muslim area and thesame also applies to the muslims too,they cant go go Christian areas. Although, for the past two years,I have not heard about any for crisis for now.
The only thing is watch how you go into places and you would be save....

I graduate from Unijos ,I can assure u Jos is a nice place to be, cheap clothings shoes food transportation, fair cost of accomodation And it's safe for nw.. ..jst watch were u enter especially late at night. ...but I don't kw much about corps members welfare. ....
