"Only applicants studying Engineering, Geology, Geosciences and Agricultural Science are eligible for the National Merit Award."

But there is no harm in trying you know.

thanks a lot

The requirements are too much, I don't have a national ID

Can chemistry students apply?

Wow! Such brilliance, congrat to her

Obozi:

It depends on the school.

Where are those who said Zambia can't beat Algeria at home? I hope the eagles are not as over confident like some people on this thread.

This is now a tricky one, Supereagle got to be careful. I just pray we beat Zambia.

Kudos to Supereagle, we are on a good standing. I don't expect Zambia to see a draw talk more of a win both against Algeria and Nigeria

They all played very well, my man of the match is victor moses. He really played well

Congrats to her. More power to her elbow.

Has anyone successfully register for the post utme?

I wish the supereagle success, hopeful they win the match.

The registrar said the timelines for admission of first choice was October 15, while second choice would be December 15.

I advise you graduate first as you are almost through. Perhaps you haven't given enough reasons why you want to drop geology for pharmacy. If it abt money and where to work, I advise you continue with geology.

Abeg must we all go to school? Funny enough Neymar(world record) didn't have school cert yet his trending pass Adamu Adamu and earning cool money. He put on singlet to sign for PSG but here in Nigeria you go put on the most expensive suit among your suits yet you won't be granted a job so why rushing into Education

Funny you

Can't believe the minimum cut off for university is 120, this is way too low. Hopeful this is for the best

This is not good at all

This is bad news

Wow! such brilliance. I think this need to be on the FP

Read more on question basic, I.e ask yourself some questions when reading.
2) You are in engineering, so you will be involve in lot of calculation, so practice much questions.
3) Try to find out the type of questions and patterns set by your lecturers
4) Make friends with the brilliant ones and try challenging one another.
5) Know your strength and weakness, work on your weakness and master your strength.
6) Make sure you have a planned time and make sure you follow it strictly
7) Pray to God to direct you and see you through

Only in Nigeria do people look down on Nigerians for schooling in Nigeria. Why?

I actually look down on myself for being a product of the Nigerian education system. I gained absolutely nothing and came out looking for nothing.

Universities are purely business oriented. An average school, for example, with the capacity to effectively educate between 5000 - 10000 students in different courses will admit between 30,000 - 50,000 students after screening 500,000 on the basis of an exam they all paid for.

How do you learn anything in a class of 600 with the capacity of only 300 students?

In my own experience, I hated finance, wasn't too good at it, but I did my best not to get less than a C on it. After the exam I believed I succeeded, only for me to go meet the lecturer to buy his book on the same day of the exam (I had one from a senior) because I learned from friends it's compulsory you buy his book, and the lecturer says you didn't buy my book so that's an “F”!!!….am like am here to do just that!!!!. He didn't care, didn't take my money but with pleasure failed me and a course mate who knelt down begging as I who stood with disgust. That's how easy you get failed. Most lecturers don't care if you learn, they just want money.

It's very easy in most schools to bribe a lecturer or school official. So most students do, even the brainy ones. Once the pressure is up, you just bribe(sort).

Most books written by lecturers are just copy and paste which makes their work look vague, empty, or difficult to read. It beats me how an average mind can seriously think he can learn something from a series of scrambled information.

Also, admitting more students than the school's capacity can bear makes registration, marking of scripts, file management etc. tedious for both officials and students. Valuable time needed for studying is totally wasted on such processes. Test and exam results get messed up easily, scripts get lost and that usually means failure/carry-over for the student.

I can go on forever about the system. So tell me, why shouldn't you be looked down upon for spending so much funds, time, and energy and still come out to a sad employment rate?

Only in Nigeria do people look down on Nigerians for schooling in Nigeria. Why?

so true, it is sad that our education system is like this

LieDetector:
I've browsed through nairaland searching for information that would give me a hint as per the things I can do to be financially independent and control my life. I'll be finishing school this year from the faculty of education albeit still young. I would love to get myself a degree in a professional course like pharmacy. I don't intend to be sponsored by my parents but myself this time. I'm just clueless as to what I can do to achieve that feat. If I should decide to work with my degree in education, the options would be limited to teaching which isn't what I want at this time.

Your kind contributions would be greatly appreciated.

To the pharmacy students and licenced pharmacists out there, I understand how time is of immense importance to having a good pharmacy degree, however, I'd be needing your opinion as it relates to time management in my case. Do you think it's a feat I can pull? Thanks


Mods, you may be helping some other person out there get an education.

you can start teaching so you will earn some money.
