unn uses 60:40 ratio.with good jamb score,I think he stands a better chance in unn than other federal unis such as ui unilag,oau,etc that use 50:50ratio .ui 50:50 method self,favours olevel more

Explain this more to the OP so that he can go and do an analysis to know the JAMB score his younger brother should aim for.

HIScraziness:
I'd ignore the bolded

The school is UNN.

Now you are talking. You gave scanty information in the first post. You need to lay all the information bare for people to be able to help you.

Let us now wait for comments as i guess people will know how UNN admitted into her various courses last year. If the information was not released to the public last year, you can also find out from the school as i believe that there must have been a criteria used to admit students after Post Utme was scrapped.

HIScraziness:
Just when I was wondering when these guys graduated to really make them reason this way

I'd just desist from exchanging words with you ndidibabe, can't get banned cos of an air head like you.
Since it's now obvious you both graduated in ancient times, u need to get updated

As of last year when post Utme was scrapped, just few schools released their cut off points and the school's aspiring fro didn't release theirs. He's got two courses on his mind, either biochemistry/pharmacy and I for one think the result is kinda weak for pharmacy judging from how competitive it is

And ur doubt that someone who.made 320+ couldn't make A's in her WAEC holds no water abeg, have ur research done.

First bold. So from saying "I didn't post it here to get opinions from those who have failed on several attempts to gain admission into the university.", it is now the bold. This shows that you should be careful before you say such statements. It is just Addico that we said and you are already confused.

On the second bold, what is the name of the school?.

ndidibabe:
You spoke my mind. I understand you very well because I passed my WAEC in 1996 and got admitted in Ife in 1997. I also did addico .

Like you said, something is really wrong with the OP. I decided to ignore him immediately i realised that he is a slowpoke.

Wa o. Correct babe. Even though iam a Uniben product, I dey always doff my hat for Ife products.

I have even checked the result again. It is Nov/Dec NECO that the OP's younger brother did that he is parading here. He should paste his WAEC and let us see. No wonder he is asking if the result can be used to study pharmacy. He is already afraid. The OP's younger brother should not even bother to apply to the likes of Ife, Uniben, UNN, UI, Ilorin, Unilag.

twinskenny:
Lol wetin they happen for those junction ooo

A trial will convince you. Just try to go and do an hanky panky in Waffy saying na you smart pass, na then you go really know say Warri no dey carry last.

HIScraziness:
I didn't post it here to get opinions from those who have failed on several attempts to gain admission into the university.

That settles it

Your joke is funny but i forgot to laugh.

Since your super brain does not know what to do, let me outline for you what you will have to do since laziness is now the order of the day to some people.

(1) Get last year's cut-off mark for Pharmacy for the competitive federal university you want for your younger brother

(2) Check how that cut-off mark was calculated vis-a-vis the component making up JAMB mark and component making up five(5) O/Level subjects combination and the marks assigned to each grade of the O/Level result.

(3) For your younger brother, JAMB mark is unknown since he is yet to write JAMB but he has O/Level.

(4) Calculate the component making up the five(5) O/Level subjects

(5) After getting (4), you will be able to deduce what he has to get in JAMB to meet the cut-off( I want to assume that you or your younger brother know how to do this since he is suppose to have gotten a B2 in Mathematics). You can factor in a change of a margin of +/-10% for this year's cut-off. That will give an ideal of a range to target. I want to believe you or him will be able to factor in this +/- 10% since he suppose to have gotten a B2 in Mathematics.

Btw, sometimes, simple analysis by oneself solves a lot of easy issues instead of quickly rushing to Nairaland for every simple issue that requires simple common sense. Your post even lack complete information for people to help you. No name of the targeted university. So you think Universities use the same process to determine cut-off?.

As for the bold, this is the problem with this new generation. Turning a discussion upside down by introducing a trivial issue and trying to be insulting. For your information, i do not belong to the 6-3-3-4 generation. I did 6-5-4 which had an option of 6-5-2-3. Go and do a research on that first. These days, i see somebody scoring 180 in JAMB and the person is celebrating success.

If iam to do an analysis of the total of your younger brother's best 6 subjects: English C4, Mathematics B2, Biology B3, Chemistry B3, Physics C5, Agric C5, this gives 4+2+3+3+5+5 = 20. Those days, this was a poor result by all standards for a science student. For your information, i did Additional Mathematics aka Addico which is now called Further Mathematics. So, go and check when Additional Mathematics was being done in secondary schools. No be everybody fit do am that time.

HIScraziness:
Using your brain calls for no cost. Gone are the days where all u gat to check is if you've got 5 credit passes only, since post Utme's been scrapped, the new system tends to favour students with A's in their o'level result. Just last year, there was a case of an OAU aspirant with 320+ in jamb but didn't gain admission, why? She didn't have the required A's to compete with other medical aspirants in the school. Grab now?

If you read my post well btw, you could see where I typed " have in mind that post Utme has been scrapped "

Next time, don't type out of ignorance

I have heard you. He does not stand a chance. Now go back and tell him to go and rewrite WAEC/NECO.

If you know all these, then why posting a printout of the result here and also asking questions?. Why can't you use your own well developed brain cells to do your own analysis with his result and arrive at a conclusion?. If you already know all the answers to all your questions, why did you still come here to post a printout and ask questions.

Btw, iam in suspect of that 320+ by that candidate who could not score A's in relevant O/Level subjects.

ndidibabe:
Nigerians and show off. You are probably trying to show off your brother's good result because there is no reasonable reason for you to think this result might not be good enough to be admitted to study pharmarcy.

HIScraziness:
The way Nigerians reason can be funny tho. We all know there are students with far better results, so there's no showing off here.

It is not a matter of the way Nigerians reasons. It is a matter of the way you reason. I support what @ndidibabe said. Did you check the requirements for studying Pharmacy in any University before rushing to post your brother's result here?. There is what is called JAMB brochure where all universities have their requirements for every course. Anybody that has five(5) credits including English and Maths along with the relevant three(3) subjects combination can study the particular course. Your younger brother has Bs and Cs in Maths, English, Physics, Chemistry and Biology and you are here asking if he can study Pharmacy with the result. When he was choosing science in secondary school, what did you guys have in mind that he was going to read?. Is it any of the art courses?. I want to believe that you also attended a higher institution. If you had asked if he can study Law, iam sure people will not say that you want to show off.

People too gentle for Lagos and that is why it continues. This is why i like Waffy, No time to waste. If you say you wan prove smart by being fraudulent, be ready to end up in either koko junction or ugberikoko.

Why are bank staffs selfish with TB information.For months now, FBN Asaba ve turned me into volleyball. Forcing me to do fixed against my wish. I really wanna do TB. Dnt know what else to do; no one is willing to help. Confused much. My money has just been wasting away in acct. What to do?

Is it only FBN that is in Asaba?. Why not go to other banks in Asaba to get TB information?. Abi, dem tie you with rope for that FBN in Asaba?. .

Emyres:
I was in a Secondary School this morning, and the experience I got there, is nothing to write about.
They are taking Mathematics today but the atmosphere is as if nothing is happening.

The "I don't care" altitude exhibited by the students showed that our education system needs help.

Instead of revising their books, they were busy checking their phones for leaks and shouting "ogbaa le" (It has come out).

They will carry this same ideology into the university, graduate, serve, and begin to work. After we will be shouting corruption.
That is why we have unproductive educated people.

I then begin to wonder, " Are these people not the future leaders of the nation?"
Is it that they were not taught or they didn't study?

If things continue this way, [/i na one chance we dey!]

No need to break your head. They are just deceiving themselves. When they graduate with doing blocking in the university and start attending job interviews, they will know how far and by then, it will be too late. There are certain courses and jobs that WAEC and university leaks and blocking will easily expose you when you are searching for jobs and doing interviews.

ihedioramma:
Thank's . what of 500,000 by 17% 182 days ?

Shuooooo. This guy, you sabi worry sha. You can substitute the figures into the formula now.

Total Profit = P*T*R / (100 * days in a year)

P = Principal

T = Time/Duration

R = Rate

So:

P = 500,000

T = 182

R = 17

Total Profit = (P*T*R) / (100 * days in a year) = (500,000 * 182 * 17) / (100 * 365) = 1547000000 / 36500 = 42,383.56

ihedioramma:
I dont understand you sir, one annum is it not 91 days ? . what am asking is that the total profit of #500,000 @13% for 91 days ? .

Total Profit = P*T*R / (100 * days in a year)

P = Principal

T = Time/Duration

R = Rate

So:

P = 500,000

T = 91

R = 13

Total Profit = (P*T*R) / (100 * days in a year) = (500,000 * 91 * 13) / (100 * 365) = 591500000 / 36500 = 16,205.48

You guys should stop chatting this @alikote guy. All his analysis has put treasury bills at the back of priority. I wonder what he is doing on this thread if he has what is best for him. Imagine him comparing Etisalat default to that of FGN.

Everyone is a learner except him, yet he is on this thread to decimate the number of people doing what is going on well for them. Everything he does, he doesn't compete with people. He is the only business magnate so everything turns to gold. There is no risk in what he does, yet he sells up to 1,800 bags of cement during raining season. In patience Jonathan voice "na only you wake come".

He talks of land in Lekki 20 to 30 years ago. That is simply in relation to his present status. Who says that even 20 years ago, it was that easy to own property there. Na only Lekki dey for map. He doesn't even know that government policy alone has reclaim so many lands even in Abuja. I have a land bought for under 1 million naira 6 years ago. Development yet to catch up up to now. Even to sell at 800k, buyers no dey.

My immediate younger brother gave out 3 Keke napep to someone on high purchase. He invested 1.35M naira. 14 months gone, one story or the other. One of the Keke is now a write off.

But in the world of Alikote, once you invest in transport business, money rolls. No accidented vehicles among the fleets. No fatality on the part of the drivers. Insurance nko, for where. No routine maintenance sef. Just multiply daily income by 365 and you know what will be in your bank by the end of the year. This is because all the passengers queue at his own vehicles. What a perfect world.

Why didn't he buy land in Maitama and Asokoro in the 90s too. For the sake of this argument, he might say the has land in such places just to further give us that perfect picture.

In the name of God, I come against anyone that will derail me from my found love for TB and Bonds which has solved major challenges for me.

There is no one that has a perfect picture of the kinda profit he makes from cement business that will do treasury bills. Who no like bigger money.

Do you think the likes of otedola, dangote and adenuga do treasury bills? What they are into, pays them far more. So what is Alikote doing on this thread when all the perfect business he has pointed gives over 100% of principal when treasury bills gives far less. He is simply acting movies. He is the script writer and every other person is just a learner.


Alikote is living in utopian. simple.

I wonder why he is selling such a low number of 1800 bags in a month when other people are selling 1800 trailers in a month.

Alikote:
Lagos is not the only part in nigeria ...open your mind

So because i want to do for instance cement business on the side instead of TB, i should relocate from Lagos to another part of the country or what?. Iam sure you will say that i should put somebody to manage it and i hope you know that in Nigeria, once you do not supervise and monitor your business, you are doomed.

Alikote:
u still be learner for money market u be yesterday u start tb but for other to learn let me explain i ran a cement distribution outlet in abuja before price went up i normally buy 900 bags @1650 and sold @1800 that a spread of 150 gross at the shop less 50 cost of sale am left with 100 net profit my over head is very low cause there no need for electricity in a cement shop ...i normally sale around 1800 permonth on the average and give me a net profit of 180 k monthly on and investment of 1.45m the 50 naira cost of sale generates 90 k permonth this cover salary of sale boy and shop rent on a good month order for a truck do come in and generate instant 90 k no stories ...so why will i put 1.45m in tb @18 percent per anum while i can get 180 percent per anum ...nb u think dangote ,adeguga,otedola and million of igbo traders dont know about tb

The downsides of trying to do start and do a business in Lagos are the several levies and taxes that you have to pay from Area boys to union to Local government and to state. You start something small, the thing you are being bombarded to come and forcefully join unions/associations where some lazy people that call themselves Chairman, Secretary and whatever will come and be collecting one levy or another. If you fail to comply, you are threatened or frustrated out of the business.

Estharfabian:
just so you know, Removing a tooth is over 20K

flossing is over 30K
Bracers are 150K upwards... just saying.
dentists could make that and more. plus, they're general physicians too.

Shuooooo. That is much. Are the process involved more difficult and complex than the processes that be used to solve the complex equation used in getting your phone that is on your profile?

Alikote:
nope mmm was not and is not business he rather establish a small scale business with the 600 k thank tb that will generate 8500 monthly ..this his tb peak season some year back 364 was like 9 percent .he can open up a barbing salon,provision shop,marwa,etcit will generate more fund u can even insure the marwa @30 k peranum
he he had 6 m in tb he would have got 510,000 for 6 month that when it make sense 85 k monthly

unless he just a student learning several investment instrument

You need to ask people what buying keke marwa and giving it to somebody to drive has done to them. The same with opening a barbing salon, provision shop, buying bus and giving it to a driver etc.

Btw, risk free is investment done with rest of mind. The gains might not be that much but there is peace and rest of mind.

Alikote:
u got 51 k as profit for next 6 months that 8500 monthly but a keke marwa of 600 k can generate 50 k monthly and after 6 months sold for 550 making a total 850 k aginst 650 k in ntb tbill is more sweet with huge capital millions...

Have you ever heard of risk free?. MMM was paying more than this your keke marwa. Don't you think it is better to go for that than keke marwa?

detholar7:
Good morning house, been reading tru all the comments for a month now. Decided to invest 600k on tb for 182 days with stanbic, I got a debit alert of 548k..i don't understand this, please can someone enlighten me..thanks

Some banks use the approach of first debiting you with the face value and then crediting you with the discounted value. Stanbic does not use this approach. They just debit you with the discounted value(Face Value - Interest Amount).

EgunMogaji:
Yes but are you licensed? This is how you guys get ripped off when you're too cheap to hire professionals

So just to carry tape and measure length and width of a room now requires a professional measurer so that you will not be ripped off?. Is the professional measurer using a specialized tape. So if i want to measure my waist to know the size of trouser to buy, do i need to call a professional measurer for it too?.

EgunMogaji:
I can't believe that you're advocating this.

Only licensed measurers should be doing measurements on site

Iam also a professional measurer as i did a lot of mathematics in primary school, secondary school and university.

mufutau55:
I do this for all my activities too.... that is why we are here, to learn. Simple.

Hajji M.

I normally do all these measurements by myself before i embark on any aspect. It is after all these measurements that i invite people to also go and measure and give a quote. That is how i catch those that 'over measure'.

Estharfabian:
first, Dentistry is a branch of medicine.

I'm Speaking On a federal government salary scale, Dentists earn way higher than Pharmacists. even During housemanship.

General dentists make, on average, around 120-180k/month; that's the same average as many primary care specialties in medicine. Dentists work for less hours and still get paid the same as their colleagues. main reason I switched from medicine to dental surgery.

I have Uncles that Are dentists. My Aunt is a maxilofacial Surgeon. she studied Dentistry. I Am also Studying the Course.


Nigeria as a whole has less Dentists, So work Opportunities are Numerous and Not Competitive, Hence It's a sort -after Profession.

Are you studying it in Nigeria?. Are your Uncles and Aunt that studied Dentistry practicing in Nigeria?. No offense with the questions. Just keen to update my knowledge.

just2endowed:
Nice write up.

I wonder why lalasticala or Seun didnt move this thread to front page. Maybe this would have divert our youth attention away from ponzi scheme

MO

No need for front page as we do not want some immature and uninformed kids/youths to derail the brilliant discussions ongoing here.

mavverick:
Fully second this.
I wrote this before, but I went around with my tiler measuring everywhere and put this on Excel, Length / Breath / Unit cost per SQM. This is how I arrived at the total sqm/total cost and also the basis of payment.

Despite most moves, you may still get cheated a little but the goal is to keep it to bare minimum. Also you can validate pop/tiling, there should not be too much differences, also sometimes iregular shaped rooms for example living room, they measure in such a way that they add a lot to it, so what i did is that we measured it in 3 parts, hallway, living room and dining, then add it all up.

Interlocking size = ((Measure plot) - (Size of building + Size of fixed structures such as soakaway/security house /tank stand + chambers ))

I believe the attached excel sheet from my project can guide somebody.

InvertedHammer:
/
I don't understand why adults would want to be spoonfed. You have an area to be covered with tiles. Grab a tape, take measurements and convert. If the conversion seems tedious, go to google, put in the data and get the result.

Is this rocket science?

The guy that gave you the quotation is probably out for blood and you appear to be helpless in the situation. Why make simple things complicated?

Eg: length : 40ft. Width: 18ft.
I put in 40feet x 18ft on google and it gave me 66.89 sq.meters.
A carton of tiles tells how many sq.m or sq.ft it contains. Divide your total Area with the number of sq.m or sq.ft in a carton and bingo!

There you have it.
\

Gbam. Nothing more to add.

When i wanted to do POP for my build, i told the POP guy to go and measure and give me a quote. He went there and came back with 96 sq.meters. I just told my brother to chase him away with a cutlass because i had earlier measured the area by myself for tiles and put it on google and it gave me 76 sq.meters. The other POP guy that went there measured and came back with 74 sq.meters and he got the job and did a wonderful job. Technology and google has helped in most of these things.

Hello there ! I'll like to know where a computer science graduate can serve

Where are you posted to, what batch and what area or aspect of computing (programming, DBA, networking, documentation, clients support) are you interested in?.

easyflow:
I was given 16.2% for 108 days. I don't know wether to accept or reject it

ijeshaboy:
are you sure you know what you are saying? Tbills is of 91, 182, 365 days, I place a bid of 182days today at gtb, am waiting to be debited. Cheers.

It must be secondary market and not primary market.

just2endowed:
An this is how GTB to eco transfer prevent me from bidding. I transfer fund since 11am to my eco from GTB through Mobile app and I was suprise it never reflect till now. Got a call from the bank that why did i leave insufficient fund? its pass 4pm. Na waoh for nigerian Banks

Network could be the cause. That is why it is always better to do the transfer 2-3 days before the bid date. That is what i normally do.

Briona:
I'm trying to figure out which one is more promising between pharmacy and dentistry.

Iam a biased person towards Pharmacy because iam a great fan of ladies that are Pharmacists.
