Looooolz, that is true anyway.

Just like in 2014, a medical student of OAU that I so much respected (You know those few people with reputable and popular monikers) just came on nairaland to claim is little bro scored 94% in UI putme(mbbs). We all believed, and celebrated the young guru.

I was personally flabbergasted and mesmerized because I manage to score 76%.

But the whole lie busted when UI claim the highest Putme score that year was 90%.

When he was confronted, his reply was Na so we see am

Funny enough, we don't even know him outside social media, of what use is the falsehood?
Even If he really wants to impress someone with lies, atleast he should do that to those that know him very well.

Pes13:
What went wrong, I thought u made it.

Do you believe everything people say on social media?

Liverpoolfc:
break failure could cause that. many factors can account for that.

R.I.P to the Dead.
I could remember vividly when I was travelling back to school in 2016,our driver after dodging a pothole went asleep.Everyone was expecting him to steer back to his own lane but it was only an illusion, he was sleep. A truck was approaching us at full speed, we were terrified. Thank God for the life of a brother who was Sitted beside him, who quickly swerved the car, I couldn't just imagine what would have happened.
Almost every faculty in Uniben would have mourned their students because most of us were Uniben students.
It's only God that saves though!

Jossyroyal1:
If 328 student is all you have to expel among thousands you admitted for 2016/2017 section, then suspension of Post UTME is not the problem...

Just admit that u and ur colleagues missed being enriched by the bribery and corruption, runs, nepotism and the extortion in d name of PUTME reg fee that PUTME avails you

Its very essential as an intellectual to make proper research before drawing hasty conclusions. For your info, exams were not conducted but students were still mandated to pay for the admission screening fees,so what are you insinuating?.
When you're expected to remain updated, informed and inquisitive with your time, you end up doing irrelevant things.

Delivar:
Na wah o. What score will get him medicine then? 399?

Sometimes, the way some people on Nairaland makes conclusions amazes me..They forgot the fact that general performance determines whether a particular score is good enough or not.Thus, you must not score 300+ plus to get medicine..performances vary every year. In 2014, due to mass failure, I knew of two Guys who got medicine in Uniben with 220 and 224 but last year a lady with 305 couldn't get medicine in UI.

If all boils down on what the guy feels about his score but to me 283 is a good score for any course in a state university.

If he's ready to work hard and he's utterly enthusiastic about medicine, he may eventually make medicine with that score but if he's complacent and sceptical, he may not make it at the end.

To the guy who said 283 can not get him anywhere near medicine, you need to start applying acumen while analysing situations critically rather that jumping into naive and unpardonable conclusions because it depicts buffoonery and impetuosity.

Oladipo1166:
the problem is that the sch she applied to don't have most of those courses

Is the school the only one in Nigeria?
So, school now influences one's career choice, it's OK.

Oladipo1166:
My younger sister applied for medicine but she didn't meet the cutoff for medicine, so she is planning to change it to either anatomy or physiology..... please I need help to guard her, please which one is better in terms of employment opportunities.

How did you know she didn't meet the cut off when modalities for admissions have not been released?

I hate assumptions! If she feels her score may not be good enough for medicine, she can choose from some professional courses like pharmacy ,Radiography, physiotherapy, e.t.c .
I'll recommend Anatomy and physiology if she still has the intention of crossing to medicine later but if she's not that adamant about medicine, pharmacy, physiotherapy,nursing and probably Dentistry will be a better alternative.

I'm still ruminating over this JAMB MOCK BIOLOGY question.It is quite confusing.Please I need the correct answer with explanation.


The feeding mechanism of muchroom can best be described as....
(A) autotrophic
(B) saprophytic
(C) holozoic
(D) chemosynthetic

It's saprophytic... Fungi generally feed on dead and decayed organic matter and mushroom is a good example of fungi.

Dear fresh Dental Student,

Just few minutes ago I got a call from a dental student from the university of Nigeria Nnsuka that I met on Nairaland.com who told me he was finding it hard to concentrate his mind on reading because of the many false stereotypes and sheer ignorance on Dentistry. This further goes a long way to affirm how underdeveloped the Nigerian health sector is and how grossly ignoranced Nigerians are. I think many dental students in Nigeria would agree with me that in their early years in the university the comment that they mostly hear from ignorance-drenching individuals on dentistry were things like; "you guys are spending a whole 6 years to study just the teeth" , "why are you guys are just a wannabe medical student" (not knowing the term medical student covers both departments except when a dental student wants to distinguish himself and uses the word 'dental student'), "why are you guys even receiving lectures with medical student?, they study the whole body and you guys do just the teeth". These are only a few mind boggling negative assertions towards dentistry and any dental student would agree with me that educating any other student on dentistry is one of the hardest task you could think of.

Many people have this false stereotype on dentistry that when you try to bring them out of their abyss of ignorance they find it so hard to believe even when you show them facts on google. A senior colleague of mine that just finished his pathology and pharmacology exams and is in the Medicine and surgery class (5th year I'm UNIBEN) told me days ago that his classmates in Medicine who has been in medical school for four years doesn't even know that dental students take Medicine and surgery as a course. Some would even say you're a dentist not a doctor without knowing that this statement is as fallacious as saying you're an opthalmologist not a doctor. Others say it is a boring course treating just the teeth the whole of your life and medicine is the whole body without knowing that even as a medical doctor you'd specialize in an aspect say opthalmology and that means you'd be treating the eyes for the rest of your life. Some say dentistry is not part of NMA, such ignorance; others say dentist collect less pay without knowing the two professions both work on CONMESS which is the standard salary structure of both professions; some others would say dentist don't save lives without knowing most of the accidents involving injury to the head in Nigeria are mostly done by dentist. I would like to stop here for now.

I told him I see myself as a doctor and nothing else that when I finish and I like orthopaedic I might take the MDCN exam to change my BDS to MBBS and specialize in orthopedic an if it is orthodontics that I want to further in I will just still use my BDS because I see myself as a doctor with no limited opportunities. Why can't we be like the Indians that have no disparity between dentistry, medicine, physiotherapy, radiology, nursing and MLS but instead work hard hand-in-hand to provide a better healthcare sector.

I write this because of the new intakes who are finding it hard to settle their mind on dentistry because of negative comments from ignorant minds. I want to tell you that you're unique, you're wonderful, you're a dentist, a surgeon and most importantly a lifesaver, don't give anybody the opportunity to treat you any less, thanks.

Its very disheartening that Some BDS students are oblivious of what their course of study entails.
The only difference between medical and Dental Doctors is that the later specialises earlier that the former.

I bought a useless tecno w3 from 3chub august 2017 and just imagine it parked up last week under normal usage without it falling or
anything lik that.

I didnt com up again after weeks of it hanging seriously and took it to their engineers who told be the panel is damaged i will never in my life spend a dime on those worthless chinko crap and i encourage you not to do the same.

I've been using Techno W3 since last year's May.
It had fell on the ground many times but I've not had any issues with it just the broken Screen guard.
Sometimes,Its just fate and maintenance that determines phone's longetivity .

It will be recalled that the students of the university of Benin embarked on a peaceful protest last year's November against wanton hike in fees and various charges in the institution which prompted the Senate to shut down the school for about two months.
Several accusations were levelled against the SUG that It incited the students against the management and also to distrupt the convocation ceremony that was due to hold the following day.
Following the meeting held by the Senate recently, Five of the SUG Excos who were believed to have championed the protest have been rusticated from the Institution for atleast one year.

They have and for the first time in its history we have two UK universities top the list.

1. University of Oxford, United Kingdom
2. University of Cambridge, United Kingdom
3. California Institute of Technology, United States
4. Stanford University, United States
5. Massachusetts Institute of Technology, United States
6. Harvard University, United States
7. Princeton University, United States
8. Imperial College London, United Kingdom
9. University of Chicago
10. ETH Zurich – Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich, Switzerland.

And the interesting thing about this ranking is, they are ranked based on the following indices; Teaching, Research, Citations, Industry Income, International Outlook, No. of FTE (full time enrolled) Students, No. of students per staff, International Students, Female:Male Ratio.
And the range of programmes offered in each University is taken into consideration.

Oga,In south-south, It's the University of Benin and others.

If our universities are to compete globally, here are my suggestions.

1. Privatise all federal and state Universities, then leave only 6 Federal Universities in all geopolitical zones to remain funded. These 6 government funded universities should include:
SW: University of Ibadan
SE: University of Nigeria, Nsukka
SS: University of Porthacourt
NE: University of Maiduguri
NW: Ahmadu Bello University
NC: University of Abuja
Entrance into these FG funded universities should be merit based with fees highly subsidised.

2. Open an accessible Student loan under the Ministry of Education to help fund students in the now inflated tuition rates in the newly privatised universities.

3. Primary and secondary schools should receive more funding. Which is where the foundation lies. Technical Education should be set up and funded to reduce the population seeking admission into university education.

4. Universities should focus on problem solving, high-brow R& which would attract funding from industry and alumni.

With these, our universities would be highly competitive, with a more stable academic calendar, and would attract an international community which also is an index of ranking by Times Higher Education.

This is just a thought, there could be better ways we can handle our falling standard of Education. But believe me, with the current trajectory of Education in Nigeria, it is the Privately owned universities that are competing favourably with universities around the would.

It is time we take Education away from the government.

oga,in south-south, It's the University of Benin and others.

My exam is in a month time from today, and since i cant get my eyes and hand from my phone and the worst part is not even an iphone oo.. Just a normal techno phone and i seem to adore it

This is an area self-discipline comes in...Set a particular time interval each day strictly for your Reading. If you're the type that attends night class,do not go with your phone. you may get a torch light phone for time keeping, if you don't have means of getting it, Don't bother yourself.

If you read in your room,switch off your phone or keep it far away from you.

There will always be opportunity for you to use your phone,so ostracizing it for awhile wouldn't kill you.

IF phones had not existed, wouldn't you be alive?

It all boils down on your self discipline and utmost priority.

My worst fears :
fear of losing my mother; How I wished the day would never come.

Marrying the wrong woman: with the tales and stories I read everyday of social platforms, marriage is becoming nightmare to me.

Fear of not eventually graduating as a Medical Doctor.

I pray they all turn to my greatest strenghts.

hello docs in the house pls am an aspirant of dentistry and dental surgery, pls I just want to ask about crossing from dentistry to medicine after graduation because I ave once seen it on this thread and also has anyone seen any dentist crossing to become a medical doctor, thank you.

If it's medicine you want,go for it... Personally,Dentistry is as equally good as medicine but your conviction matters most..

Earlier today, I was thinking about my best
Nigerian 11 of all time.

I don't mean the best 11 players we've ever
produced, rather, I mean if I were to pick a
team, who would I put in?

That means, there can't be two goalkeepers
or two number 10s.

I picked this team based on a 4-4-2 formation.

Here we go,

Goalkeeper: Peter Rufai

Right Back: Yisa Sofoluwe (Played both left and right back)

Left Back: Benedic Iroha

Central Defender (Stopper): Christian Chukwu

Central Defender (Libero): Stephen Keshi

Defensive Midfielder: Muda Lawal

Central/Attacking Midfielder/Playmaker: Austin Okocha

Right Winger: Segun Odegbami

Left Winger: Felix Owolabi

Supporting Striker: Samson Siasia

Top Striker: Rashidi Yekini

Does anyone agree with me?

I got admitted recently into a university, and av resumed lectures but my problem is that I fail to understand all I read or study and even if I understand a little it evaporates in no time
Pls any advice??

Read over and over again.... Reading a book three times before exam is not bad.

Institution :University of Benin.
Level:500.
Dept:Agricultural Economics.

Nltaliban:
Reason I said its a pity the School hasn't released the admission list. Do you know if the person has been admitted and jamb hasn't updated it on caps.



See, to save all these arguments, let everyone wait for the schools admission list.

Yes...but things are not done properly in Nigeria... They could as well save these people's stress of buying another jamb form or confusion.

Nltaliban:
Meaning boss

He claimed to have met the Elds cut off for his course and hasn't been admitted. I tried to mention him so he could say something.. He claimed he's from Rivers.. And there's another case of a law aspirant.

Nltaliban:
That's a lie. Everyone who met elds cut off were given admission.

It's just a pity that schools admission list has not been published.

Khali.

Nltaliban:
I know I'm a little bit harsh here, but it's bad to see people criticize the institution because of their own mistakes.

Mistakes that those who met Elds cut off points were not given admission?

Rachealoduah:
Pls I need advice,I'm a delsu medical aspirant,I've registered for 2018 jamb,I've been reading like mad since on the 14th of November and I've indeed seen great improvement while answering my past questions and I'm very positive I'll be admitted this year.The problem is as the day of the exams draws near,it is expected that that's when the reading gets at its peak buts that's not my own story instead my brain has refused to pick anything I read at this point,don't misunderstand me please the interest in reading is still perfectlythere,I want to read but my brain is not just picking,I'm reading and is as if I'm blabbing.What do you advice I do as am an avid reader,some said I should leave my books for few days but I don't know if that's a good idea,pls what do you advice I do thank you

You don't have to read to for lengthy hours If you're discomfited in the process.
I know you want to get what you want at all cost but you should be take easy with yourself.
Your health and well being is more important.
You could also eliminate any form of distractions while reading.
Our brains also need rest.
You could rest at intervals and start again..
You don't have to read for straight 12 hours;Your brain needs energy to function well.
8-10 hours a day might be enough but be consistent.
Atimes, you may need soft drinks to revitalise yourself.
