Well,I don't know where you guys got the idea of 210 being the minimum aggregate for consideration into any course.

As far as I know and I'm concerned,as long as you have an aggregate above 199 you stand a chance of being admitted irrespective of your chosen course.

On the note of this,there are two extremes;Merit or Long-leggedness(strong connection) with Serendipity(luck) coming in between in form of a variable.

As long as you are unable to meet the cut-off,You stand a risk of not being admitted unless luck interposes..And just like I earlier stated,Luck is variable..If you failed to meet the cut-off it could work on your side and vice-versa not minding your aggregate unless you're well-connected.
Just like samtolly earlier stated,OAU isn't like UI that offers fallback courses.

What you guys were saying about the 210 ish is very misleading...As long as your aggregate is above 199 you're good to go.

Chiamaka01: Guys, which day is the partial eclipsa expected?
I hope muslims in the house have bought their rams.

Lunar eclipse-October 18

Solar eclipse-November 3

Not all cities will experience them..Just few..But most of the cities expected to experience them are from NW(North-west) and NC(North-central) geo-political zones..They include Ilorin,Abuja and others(can't recollect all for now)

Happy Eid-il-Kabir celebration to all our moslem brothers and sisters.

Morning.

don_salvy: Yea, u gat a point. Dey only carry d name 'literature/art students'. Most of em ain't as good as dia name sounds.
I'm also interested in d debate

Maybe you're mingling with the wrong set of arts students.

It would have been better if you had clarified your assertion by saying thus;"Most of the arts students I KNOW aren't as good as their name sounds"

For every rule,there is always a dispensation..Not all arts students will be good..Same applies to non-arts students.

Lolz...Abi...Na my job,na my life..
Seems Pappindho has given you his username..I would tell him to share me your username..Don't feel like posting it here..I'll add you.

Eccentric

Truth be told,this dude is gradually losing his steam..His performances of recent have been unimpressive.To me,I think he doesn't measure up to par anymore unlike the nations cup where he performed excellently..

Chiamaka01: Morning, guys.
Happy weekend.

1:16 pm..Afternoon not morning.

papindinho: well explained by oga phtemie though.
I think the statement contains two words that are multi-conceptual 'jealous' and 'mistress'. the former having been well explained by phtemie.

Mistress can be seen to mean a woman who is yet to marry or a woman who is yet to marry therein having an affair with a married man.

Thus, we can deduce by relating law with the qualifier 'jealous' and the above definition that law is nosy and overprotective of its subject.

Law wants to be above everyone without anybody questioning her stand as seen in a 'jealous mistress' and this can be sub-conceptualised in 'nobody is above the law'.

And in every context, law prevails whether the law is legal on its own or not, it still wants to prevail. 'jealous mistress'
#just a thought

Better put,.well written.

Afolabi6046: 'The law is a jealous mistress'. Past. Sam, miracy, temi, papadinho(nt sure) y d frowned face guys, i didnt say it, Prof. Ferdinand Fairfax Stone of d Tulane Law School said so.
#Wondering....
Wat does it mean.

lol

Well,I think it means the populace(citizens) belongs to the law..And it is the sole responsibility of the law to protect them whichever way possible.

The statement is only characterised by ambiguity..The word "jealous" is ambiguous(multi-meaning)..It could mean being envious of someone's achievement and at the same time could mean "being very protective of one's possession(s)".

So in this context,the statement can be paraphased as "the law is a mistress that is very protective of her possessions"
From this,we can easily draw out the underlying meaning of the statement as "The law is ultimately saddled with the sole responsibility of protecting the citizens"

I could be wrong though..Just my thought..Anybody with a different insight can shed more light on the statement.

papindinho: I was going through the first stanza of the national anthem today and noticed this nebulous line 'the labour of our heroes past'. Then I quizzed myself.

Do we really have past heroes?

Was their only contribution the attainment of national liberation?

Were they futuristic in the structures they left (constitution, govt structure et al)?

Were they nationalists or politicians?


So many question in stock for why we are where we are.
I would like to hear your view(s) on this. Yes, including you that you are reading this.

Obviously,we have past heroes...

Their contribution was not peculiar to national liberation

But I would say there were partially futuristic and partially unfuturistic..

Their pre-independence struggles predominantly portrayed them as nationalists whilst their post-independece activities portrayed them as both nationalists and politicians..

See,some of these nationalists bequethed some bad legacies to the present Nigerian generation despite their tremendous effort in the attainment of the country's national liberation..

If time permits,I might come back with a more comprehensive analysis..Morning house.

Happy birthday to our dear friend and brother,fynestboi.

Long life and prosperity.

Wishing you the very best in life..

Oluwatola5: Yh, indeed, without mincing words, this is a microcosm of what is happening in this world at large today. Barr. Phtemie just hit the nail on the head.

Thanks boss..It's my pleasure ma..

Nairalane: May God bless you and make you great.

Amen sir!..And you too,and everyone of us.

papindinho: *turns to the back to check the ogas* ok, Samtolly and Jodekss dey there..... Yes, the bosses. That's what they are.

lol

papindinho: then I put it that underutilization of material and non-material resources is the bane behind the lingering mindset of the averages.

Soyinka being a case study here is not so feasible as compared to a pauper's kid in the village. Minds are diverse though, but the SETTINGS we find ourselves is a predominant factor as to what our thoughts are.

I wouldn't argue the whites being smarter as rightly noted earlier as it was conspicuous in the words of Von Goethe that "character develops itself in the stream of life and that life starts from our immediate surroundings".

Several Africans have sailed through the thorns to learn abroad and the SETTINGS gave them the befitting NEEDS they lacked in Africa. So, there is nothing wrong with Africans but their settings is the debilitating factor that beclouds the dexterious riches in African race.

#just a thought.

Very true..Talking about how ambience can factor into man's proficiency and productivity..

Samtolly4JESUS: You always remain the boss sire.

Just as you're also boss..Everybody here is a boss..

Samtolly4JESUS: You're very right Big boss.

However, I still say you've spoken from the general overview.

Very True, Africa is way out of place compared to the white.

But, I still stand to say it depends on the The Mindset

Professor Wole Soyinka, The Literatus Will in no way feel inferior to the whites.

Why? He crossed the Prejudice boundary through his viable actions. He Lectured the Whiteman's Language in the WhiteMan's country.


Just like a Sage said 'No Man Can Make You Feel Inferior without your Consent.'

Its high Time we developed our Mindset and grow out of the Cage.


#The Negroes Speak of Rivers.........

I understand you my boss...perfectly put..

Jodekss: u are a wizkid... You are very rice ore mi... Good evening.

papindinho: that's the fact boss....

Jodekss: u are a wizkid... You are very rice ore mi... Good evening.

Naso o eyin oga mi..

Nairalane: Join me in my structural thought. It goes thus. People generally believe that the whitemen are wiser and unquestionably superior to we blacks. But sometimes ,they act meaninglessly and unattached to the dictionary of human behaviours. For example, naming a child woodgate, stone, hazard, blunt, churchill, green, sand. The most annoying is tiger woods. If "woods" is d surname, how can i name my son "tiger". Does this make any sense. Despite this personality-debasing whitemen displays, we ourselves still believe that the whitemen are so superior to us. We blacks consider ourselves as less important. For instance, when papadinho and samtolly park their clothes out yesterday and ready for a wash, they wash d white ones first and then to wash the rugged black ones in parallel channel. So, u too practise racism-superiority of the supercilious whitemen above the black. Maybe its natural, hypothetically stated. But i cannot explain. I believe we blacks are gifted, as created by God. Thank God that salvation was made free, the whitemen would have hijack the whole with their mere-haughty colonising spirit and a sublime piece of mysticism. Thank you for your time.

I think you guys have discussed this and reached a conclusion..But I just want to contribute my own little cents..I just hope it's not belated.

In as much as I believe that inferiority complex is a syndrome affecting many nigerians,I still believe it would be self-deceit if anyone asserts that the whites are not smarter than us..Yes!I said they are smarter..Not subscribing to an idea doesn't confute the reality of the idea..Atheists/agnostics don't believe in the reality of God's existence and religious mysticism,yet that doesn't discredit the reality of God's existence..Synonymously,that we nigerians,africans and blacks in general don't believe the whites are currently smater than Us doesn't refute the credibility of the idea..A Man city fan is likely to tell you they lost to Bayern due to tactical problem or managerial incompetence,but anybody reasoning from a neutral platform would concur with me that if the team had featured two Messis and two Ronaldos or both pep guardiola and mourinho the team would probably have lost the match.

It is only in Africa that a mechanical engineer would take his faulty car to a roadside Mechanic.

Only in Africa a Medical doctor would advise you to take your sick child to a local church instead of a hospital

Most technically advanced gadgets we use were made by the whites..Same thing applies to the cars we use.

Until I see an african syndicate produce a car archetype or an aeroplane prototype,then the idea would remain unrefutable.

Seriously,Nigerians like self-deceit and complacency..I think facing reality is another mental emancipation Nigerians need.
Actions speak louder than words..Let them know they aren't superior through our own actions.

Olastep1: i salute you o o o...






Thats simply the Spirit of the Greatest of the Great Ife!!!

Yes my boss..That's it..

papindinho: Barri to sure... Na you Biko.

Biko ke?..Omo kekere ara mi..I still be learner..

With the likes of people with high intellectual abilities and thunderstriking analytical aptitude we've got in this thread,all I can say is that the future is brighter than the brightest.

God bless!

Olastep1: Seriously now,

It all starts from Me and You.

Lets even leave Politics.

How many of you here are proud of your results or admission? How many here wrote his/her Jamb without looking left and right? How many here wrote his/her Post-Utme without asking or giving out answers from those beside you?
How many here can boldly say he/she didnt whisper to somebody in his Jamb/Putme exam hall?

I know your consience is hurting you! Likewise, i'm not judging you.

Please be sincere. Its not good. What is not good is not good. Have a change of heart today and tomorrow we all will be proud of each other.

Good Morning Oga and Ogases

You just nailed it!

As you and pappidinho were having the discussion,I was busy nodding my head to the intellectually sound points I could deduce from your argument.But I couldn't help but comment due to the very smashing point you just made.

Corruption is a canker-worm that has eaten deep into the fabrics of all the sectors of the country,no doubt.But I've always argued that the change we need is "ourselves" just as you pinpointed.

This calls to mind President Obama's electioneering campaign slogan in 2008-"CHANGE".Obama admittedly attested that what Americans needed was change but on the other hand he convincingly argued the change they needed had to start from them.

I can vividly recall having a discourse with pappidinho about this particular issue.He countered my opinion with a quasi-postulation that the leadership position is occupied by a circle of perpetuators who keep perpetuating themselves and their sycophants into power..But I still believe the change starts from us,from our locality..We don't need to get to the realms of power to effect the change.

Just like You said,how many people can proudly boast of their Ssce/jamb/p-jamb/ as a consequence of their hardwork?

I believe and I know for sure that we are the change we've all been clamouring for since time immemorial.

"Be the change that you wish to see In the world"_Mahatma Ghandi.
