To get your UNILAG transcript in hand, you need to use back channels like I did.If you need a contact,let me know. Jesusbabygirl: How come every1 has transcript,me I don't,so sad,any unilag peep? |
No be my mouth you go hear that summary.In summary,draw your own conclusions. [ quote author=BANGA SOUP]abeg summarise am[/quote] |

Really?You were not being sarcastic?Does one need a degree to be in the "textbook business"?Okay o. CFCfan: I wasn't being sarcastic. The textbook business is only an option. Of course, I know of the other opportunities for History majors. |
I don't know why you are being sarcastic.Graduates of history have a lot to offer.They could be diplomats or international relations experts working for organisations like Nigeria Institute of International Affairs,UN,AU or think-tanks like Council on Foreign Relations etc WHAT DID YOU STUDY? CFCfan: The usefulness or 'uselessness' of a course depends on the enthusiasm/ingenuity of the student. A History major may earn good money printing history textbooks for schools. |
I am not contesting what you wrote so I don't understand where the "I don 't really agree with you" anthem is coming from.I understand that actuarial science graduates are equipped to do the job.I am saying that Physics graduates have the aptitude to do the same job without much hassle since the job is quantitative in nature.The reverse is not the case.An actuarial science graduate can't be employed as an Astrophysicist or a Nuclear Physicist.I am just expressing the versatility of Physics. ajasa4link: I don't really agree with you on that because actuarists major role į̸̸̨§ to use mathematical models,functions and equations to predict investment outcomes...they develop models that investment banks,finance houses and insurance companies use... They also develop tables,rates mortality tables etc which A̶̲̥̅̊я̲̣̥ε̲ really vital in †̥ђe̶̲̥̅ finance and insurance sector... On †̥ђe̶̲̥̅ other hand,physics graduate Ѡill need to really specialise i̶̲̥̅̊n̶̲̥̅̊ this field by going for higher degrees i̶̲̥̅̊n̶̲̥̅̊ this area before he can perform all those functions above |
I am not saying graduates of other disciplines can't perform the said role;I was just mentioning jobs, amongst others that Physics graduates can get.Besides,if it were up to me,I would consider a physics graduate before an actuarial science graduate if they both fit the job profile. ajasa4link: @ †̥ђe̶̲̥̅ bold part, I think Ȋ̝̊̅†̥'s those who studied acturial science(actuarist) who perform that function i̶̲̥̅̊n̶̲̥̅̊ nigeria.. |
If you have solid analytical abilities and you have love for science,study PHYSICS.If you are looking for a job after graduation,you would not be lacking. 1.FINANCE Physics graduates are highly sought for their analytical abilities and they are employed as "quants" in Investment Banks.A field known as "econophysics" which uses the principles of theoretical physics such as fractals, in financial modelling,analysis etc. 2.OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY Physics graduates are employed as instrumentation engineers,geophysicists,petrophysicists and field engineers.An Msc in Exploration Geophysics would boost your chances. 3.TELECOMMUNICATIONS Physics graduates are employed as Microwave Engineers,Solution Architects etc Many principles of physics ranging from waves,electronics,optoelectronics,ionospheric physics are critical in this industry.Companies in Nigeria in this sector include Ericsson,Aviat Networks,Alcatel-Lucent,Nokia-Siemens,Huawei.The operators have outsourced most of their technical roles. 4.HEALTHCARE Graduates of physics are employed as radiologists and medical physicists.The MRI machine, the X-ray machine etc were invented by physicists.A masters in Medical Physics would do the trick.A career as a Biomedical Engineer is also in the offing where you could be involved in the design of artificial organs,prosthetics and other devices.(JUST GO ABROAD AND NEVER COME BACK FOR THIS OPTION.YOU WILL STARVE IF YOU TRY IT HERE) to be continued... |
If you must study any 'chicken and chips' course in the university,do yourself and your family good by getting a first class so that when any good opportunity comes in that field (which might be rare),you would be in a good position to grab it.I did not mention any course o. |
It seems you did not do very well while you were a student there or someone close to you couldn't cope.Anyone adhering to the above advice is just being naive. The fact that you/friend/acquaintance/family member found it difficult to cope does not mean others would. When I first applied to study Applied Physics at UNILAG,people told me that it was hell in that department and that they were all sadists.I told myself if others failed,that is not my problem.I WANT TO STUDY PHYSICS.I applied,got the admission and graduated in due course with good grades. peleson: Don't study elect elect in unilag, mowete , mohammed n Co will make u hate u were very smart and brilliant |
The practice test sent to those invited is the same one available on their website.You can go download it there.The questions in the real test seems a bit more difficult than the practice test.The practice test is just a guide as to the kind of questions to expect. zublaj: You don't have to worry about the actual questions I was tested on, when you get the invite, a practice test which will be very similar with the one you will be tested with will be sent to u to prepare. Its going to be a replica of d actual test, I suppose its one of their past questions; it has answers, tips and explanation of how u determine the right one. |
It all depends on the career goals of the individual.If one is interested in following the lecturing route or wants to pursue graduate studies in another country and decide to settle there,then study whatever course you want. If you want a job here after you graduate,choose wisely. |
This question is one that has many answers.In an ideal situation,people should study what they believe they have the flair and aptitude for.Nigeria does present peculiar circumstances.The economic reality on the ground has to match your choice of what course to study.I see many young people who have the intelligence to be rocket scientists studying Medicine (with all due respect to the profession).Parents are the number one problem because they push their naive children into studying what they think would give them a job immediately they graduate without finding out if their children have the ability to handle such.The usual suspects:Medicine,Law,Engineering,Accounting. I would not say there is any course that is 'bad' to study but it would not make any sense to study Anthropology in Nigeria and after graduation you start complaining that you have not found a job. Our universities churn out a large number of engineering,medical and law graduates yearly and the key question is,"how many of these graduates work in an organisation directly related to their field of study?" The best way to know what course to study(if your interest is to get a meal ticket after graduation) is to take a look at the present job market and see if your desired course is in high demand.If it is not,GOOD LUCK. |
I guess the cow would face "MOO-der" charges.This is a "Ho-MOO-cide" case.Ha! |
Not in your nearest pharmacy.It is quite difficult to get in small pharmacies.A box containing about 8 sachets is about 4000 naira. mulumele: It is in Naija already. You can get it at the nearest pharmacy. |
mulumele: It is in Naija already. You can get it at the nearest pharmacy. |
How did you arrive at your statistic? presiade: And alas, the result is out already and it is crazooo- about 47 unsuccessful out of 55 candidates! |
I used to take Minocycline for my acne.It is probably for that reason all those fine girls told me that I was stingy but I told them I was just prudent with cash.Hee!By the way,minocycline is an antibiotic and it has no side effect(depends on who uses it anyway). |
It was the series that made being a Nigerian Intelligence agent seem very cool to me.I still crave to read them all over again. VillageBoi: Well said, every single one of them! |
All the books in the "Pacesetter Series".I loved those books as a child. |
It has been in the news for some time that JAMB would be scrapped.I guess they want to start from the top.:-D |
Thanks for 'saving' me.If you ever need to be 'rescued' from any stray nairalander,I'm your guy.:-D afrobaby: @mkoabiola, u are very wrong to be quoting phonon and not opendo, cos phonon was telling opendo that what he did was wrong, read his post very well |
I have always known that not everyone understands sarcasm.Let me put in lay terms: The information should be put on this thread instead of being sent to an email. I hope this helps. mko abiola: How old are u? |
Yes,it is preferable for such information to be sent to your email not on the thread where others interested parties could benefit.Great going. opendo21: @ tianyx where did u send your cv to. I've been trying to apply for some time now yet no response. U could send me a mail opeakangbe@gmail.com Thanks |
They won't leave UNILAG alone.Wetin we do una? |
Okay.Just relax and you will be fine.Know your story before you go for the interview.We'll all be rewarded for our efforts. Naffysah: @phonon, One I guess, it was actually a grp exercise after the aptitude test. I chose C&B. Waitn 4d next stage which is an interview with the manager. Dunno what to expect self. D wait is tiring. My hrt raced when I got d mail |
Well,a little glimmer of hope on the horizon.If they had done this before,people would not be so worried.Let one just be ready. Tingles: I got it too Mr Phonon, so, there is still hope...this little gesture has allayed my fears to an extent. |
Great.How many interviews have you had? Naffysah: |
Anyone get the KPMG Bi-Weekly Graduate Recruitment Update email?Even though new information was not provided but they acknowledged that one is still being considered and that updates will be provided biweekly.KEEP HOPE ALIVE. |
I hope his wife is 'YAY-LOW' like his teeth and SUVs.The guy who has 'raised the dead' several times?SUPER FRAUD! |
