If You can rightly tell me what I said is wrong tell me? constructive Criticism is what I learned from this thread. I can outrightly tell you that you're a baby a big one. Being young does not mean you must be ignorant and this is why we have wrong Leaders in Nigeria. Incase you don't know being old in doesn't mean you will be smart. Remember Ignorant people grow old too.
I have been in Nairaland just one year and boy you don't know what I have learnt. I have been able to acquire new skills, attend workshop, read Journals and communicated with Lecturers, Doctors on Nairaland with more than two decades experience. So when I am talking, I am not talking in unsubstantiated claims but facts.
Some of you think I hate medicine?. Infact I respect them. I am worried.
You think I am happy when I see Doctors strike for unpaid salaries and dilapidated structures?
When I know we have less than hundred thousand registered Doctors in Nigeria with a population of over 150 million people and over half of those people registered are out of Nigeria,retired or not practising.
Where we have people roaming mad in the street and we have less than a thousand registered Psychiatrist to handle the cases and I shouldn't be worried?
Grow up Bro you are better than these. I can bet myballs you are not med school and even if you are probably 200 level. Your anger shows it. So much enthusiasm you have which I like but mind how you do then learn to read with an open mind.

The guy explained himself to the best of his ability.If there's anywhere he mis-yarned, kindly correct him with respect.

Not only did you insult him, you also didn't contribute to the discourse.

Although I am not in the best place to tell you what to do. I will be sincere with you sir I am currently 20. Yes I am Young soon approaching 21. I am currently doing side hustle and computer work for people to get money to invest more in my Business. I am waiting to get into vet school which is 6 years course. I know I will spend extra two three years making it 28 years hopefully I will be done. I won't do residency. Maybe masters but I will go into vet business.
Medicine on the other hand is different except you want to be a General practitioner. Even if its Obstetrics and Gynaecology or Paediatrics you will spend close to 5years. I am just estimating 32 you will be done with med then residency makes it 37 years. There are other courses related to it like Dentistry or even Nursing and maybe Radiography will help you make the relevant income to travel abroad go for extra training and maybe work for sometime and return. If the UK is in your mind Dentistry, Radiography and Nursing is the best bet.
Medicine is a lifetime thing. Doctors are always needed but Age and experience matters. I am not here to deter you or be an obstacle to you so don't misquote me.
There's life after med school that I know of and it is way tougher than being in med school.
Dentists, Nurses and Radiographers are highly sorted in the UK. If it is Nigeria you want to remain Nursing and Radiography is best from communications I have made. If you study medicine here and you want a field like radiology,anesthesiology,cardiology,neurology and oncology and cancer therapy which is highly sorted, we know the politics involved.
Take this from me like your kid brother giving you Advice. He might speak funnily but still makes little sense.
Incase some of you want to question,insult me in mentions, I did not cook up this things I wrote, My Family doctor was formerly working in National Hospital Abuja as a Family Medicine consultant and he is currently working with UNICEF. So read and re-read

hardeynhiyhi:
Thank you bro, but why laughing?

Alexaonfleek:
ah nawa ooo
Some people are just natural haters.
Dentistry is an arm of medicine,just like gynecology.how can you compare a paramedic with a dentist?
The pay is the same along with doctors,and abroad,dentists probably earn more.the beauty of dentistry is that it's less stressful than medicine when you start working.

Maid007:
Most of the negative comments u here about BDS is not out of hate for the course, it's just ignorance (u can't blame anyone for that)...the name DENTISTRY itself is a misnomer.....

In a country that has only 9 schools offering BDS, and each with a quota of as low as 15 (mostly) to 30 students being admitted each year? Of which only few of those admitted end up graduating?? you are a hot cake bro....I don't want to start enumerating the prospects, as I know u can find a lot of them even here on nairaland.....

NOTE: Getting admission isn't the hardest part, but going through the rigorous 6 to 7 years in school is the most CHALLENGING and EXCITING part of it all.....
Congratulations on your admission by the way....

OloladeWrites:
Well, Dentistry is not a paramedical course. - always correct that notion when people tell you that.

Two, there is no way you should expect positive criticism about your course from everybody. I'm certain that same way some people have been giving you negative comments, some would have applauded you too. Stop letting negative comments win the best part of you.

Three, I agree that you're just a newly dental student and might be having doubts about the course. Find senior colleagues in your school that are doing great to talk with, make research about dentistry from reputable websites and be open to all shades of what dentistry will throw to you.

Four, be happy with what you have, many will 'kill' to get that slot. There is competition everywhere so be prepared for it.

SufferHeadAjebo:

I got in with some Score. My candid advice for you is to leave it at Unimaid. It's a totally safe place to study.

TONYE001:
They do.

TONYE001:
You know, getting in is pretty competitive. The better your results, the higher your chances.

Good luck.

TONYE001:
The University of Abuja has full accreditation for Medicine and Surgery.

DRPAIT123:
Thanks so much for your advice and care.

DRPAIT123:
yes,I applied for MBBS.
I am currently in about 4 unimaid group on Facebook but all they do there is to post fake admission news and other inconsequential write ups(am sorry for being too frank,its just the truth).
when I asked simple questions about unimaid there, no one answer me(I guess other aspirants already know all about the school).
I am from Kwara state,so I can hardly find any aspirant who chose unimaid also(guys drew back due to the increasing rate of insurgency)
Even if admission comes out,I don't have any legit information on what is best to do.
kindly help me bro.

DRPAIT123:
