NaijaTechGuy:
I've been blogging for a while now, most importantly, I've tried other jobs as well so i I've been able to make a good comparison.

Here are a few (of the thousand) advantages of blogging over other jobs°

Age Restriction
We all know that someone can't continue doing all kinds of work when old. Take engineering for instance. How can an old man handle car engines ? Or tailoring. People (especially the younger generation) wouldn't want to patronize this guy cause they think he's probably too old and they'll get the impression that he's off-trend.

Blogging however is different. Blogging isn't a hard job to do and most people don't even know the owners of websites they visit. So age is an advantage of blogging over many other jobs.

I'm just 19 years old and I run this blog NaijaTechGuy so it's not really a matter of age


Limit of creativity
Sorry tailors but i want to use you guys as an example again. Tailoring, as we all know, is a profession that is almost fully reliant on creativity. However, when some people are too creative, they may be ridiculed.

A close example is this :
When people decide to use a color of thread on a cloth with a different color or people who put zips in awkward places . You see? Even if tailoring is creativity, it's not all the time that it'll require it . Blogging however, is different. Bloggers all know that it's their site, it's their rules'. For most blog visitors, if they're not comfortable with how a site operates, they have no option than to leave.


Immobility
Blogging is better than almost all professions for this reason. Bloggers are able to change locations freely and at will. A school owner and a pastor would be afraid cause they may loose all their members if they change locations. Bloggers can change locations at will and even if they want to change their website, they only need to automatically redirect visitors from the previous website to the new one.


Exposure
The world is made up of billions of people. Other professions find it harder to reach a large amount of people but bloggers(no matter what they blog about), get visitors from different countries. Even if they blog about news in Nigeria, they'll still get visitors from around the globe.

Passion
Blogging is about passion and what you like. You can't be a painter and paint houses a color just cause you love that color neither can you be a tailor and always sew elastic waistband cause you love them.

When you're into other professions, every time you have to act in harmony with what your customers want. In blogging however, it's the other way around. It's what you blog about that'll bring people. If you love nature, you'll blog about it and people who love nature would visit your site. That's just how it is.

How to own a blog

This is coming from a nairalander with d Monika Adesegunfat


My name is Adesegun Fatusi, and I am the Provost of the College of Health Sciences, OAU, Ile-Ife. The case of the Aror Oghenerukewve has just been brought to my notice. To throw more light on her case, I will present the detaild fact here.

With a score of 320, her mark from UTME amounts to 80% (i.e. 320/400 x 100)
Her school cert results are: English A1 (=8 marks); Biology C4 (=5 marks); Chemistry B3 (=6 marks); Maths B3 (=6 marks); Physics C4 (=5 marks); Physics C4 (=5 marks); Further Maths B2 (=7marks), and Civic Educ A1 (=8 marks). That gives her 45 points, or 70.3% (i.e. 44/64x100)

So her overall average - as OAU did a combination of 50% mark from JAMB and 50% mark from School Cert - is: (80+70.3)=75.15% (which we rounded up to 75.2%).

With that mark, she ranks number 103 on the list of the students who took Medicine as first Choice.

The total admission quota for Medicine in OAU is 100, and that includes UTME and Direct Entry).

Clearly although Aror did well, her mark was NOT good enough to earn her admission on merit to read Medicine in Ife. Her mark of 75.2% is clearly below our cut-off mark (which was initially 78%, but we later reduced to 77.7%). Between her mark of 75.2% and 77.7%, by the way, there were 56 other candidates who scored higher than her but did not make the cut-off. For example, two people had 77.6%, two other people had 77.5%, four people had 77.4% etc.
Having presented the detailed facts about Aror's case, let me also help the many young Nigerians who may be accessing this site with more information on admission as I see a lot of misrepresentation, falsehood, and misunderstanding from the comments that various people had made on this case.

1. Admission into Nigerian Universities are considered on three grounds based on the nationally specified criteria (which I think ought to be reviewed now, by the way):
A. Merit =45% (This covers all candidates from the country - and it is automatic admission once you meet the cut-off mark)
B. Catchment = 35% (this refers to those in the states specified as catchment area for each University: For OAU, that is Lagos, Ogun, Ondo, Oyo, Osun and Ekiti)
C. Educationally disadvantaged states (ELDS)=20% = This refers to all the 19 Northern States, and Ebonyi, Rivers and Bayelsa.

So, someone from Delta such as Aror with 75.2% will not get admission into Medicine in OAU automatically as she is only considered on merit criterion and she does NOT meet the specified cut-off, but someone with the same mark from Kwara (which is in the North Central zone) may get automatic admission with the same mark based on the consideration of ELDS if 75.2% is the specified cut-off for ELDS for Medicine.

2. When a candidate chooses a highly competitive course like Medicine in a top-rated University like OAU, the competition is very intense. Believe it or not, many of the candidates that made our merit mark had an average of six A1s in school cert coupled with very high UTME mark (above 300). So, a candidate must carefully think over his choice of course and university. For example, if Aror had chosen ANY other course as her first choice for OAU, whe would have made the merit mark and gotten automatic admission, and she would have made the merit mark for Medicine on merit for most Nigerian universities too (but NOT OAU unfortunately).

3. Because of the high demand and competition for very limited spaces, the College of Health Sciences does not consider second choices as a general rule. OAU, for example, was only able to offer admission on UTME platform (Merit + Catchment + ELDS) to less than 3% of her applicants for Medicine, and less than 2% of her applicants for Nursing Science this year.

4. For cases like Aror where the candidadte has made a high mark but does not make the cut-off, what the candidate can sometimes do is to come to the University and try and see if he or she can be considered for other courses. A candidadte DOES NOT get considered automatically for a course she has not applied to in JAMB. A candidadte is ONLY automatically considered for the course he or she has applied for with respect to a particular university.

Unfortunately, Aror has left her case too late as all admission lists have been submitted for this year.
