Maxwell96 jst chill i'm sure ur student id will soon be pasted. Yesterday, i didnt see ''created'' on mydatapage but i only saw student id and the rest. . . But today i saw; created! Just calm down!

Those of you that is quick to pay should also be ready to lose your cash if anything goes wrong. . .always follow instructions even in an exam. Have we been given instructions?!

Those who took 36passports last 5months(strike duration) because of say the school dey tshak them should note that uniben needs passports of not more than 3months . . Whose fault ?

You were admitted to study your dream course accountancy and you are asking for what we think ? Hmmm. . . .there are different thoughts on this. So because its laspotech, a poly and it looks somewhat belittling ? In my own opinion, it depends on your age; i dont advice somebody of 26yrs holding himself back because of unn vs laspotech and besides you already spent alot! Ignore this admission and you may not get any again . . .we are in country where we think we cant make it without school. . .too sad. Personally, i think you should finish laspotech before going for Bsc. . . it sounds stupid writing jamb when you are not through with your nd(sorry to say). Again, note that the issue of substandard institution is a general problem. It gives everyone a course to worry. . .dont compare poly and uni. It wont help . . .thanks.

The situation here is manageable. But currently, there is power outage. . .Delta state.

A very wonderful Christmas to all debaters, coordinators, judges and our highly esteemed audience.
