This is 2015, bro

I mentioned 2009-2011. Those are the relevant years to check in reference to your post. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.vanguardngr.com/2012/04/waec-lauds-ondo-govt-for-producing-a-17-year-girl-as-2011-ssce-overall-best-student/amp/
Chuks Ezike Ogochukwu mentioned in this post, attended Dority, he was 2011 set.
So, where is the list of 2009 to show that Dority was a force to be reckoned with? Why I uploaded the picture from 2016 is because the school ought to be consistent, especially as it is a private institution. So, how come the consistency disappeared within four years?

I'm there myself. 05 GCE and 06 WAEC 5Bs including Maths, Eng, Phys, Chem, Biology. BSc Physiology Lagos, MSc pharmacology Lagos. Currently with Lagos State Gov via the Teaching Hospital.
Hi, thank you for your comment. However, I'm quite curious about your case.
Most Physiology students around are often forlorn as they are usually short of options in their career, based on economic opportunities and realities. But your case seems to proffer a hope for them.

My questions:
1. Is it allowed for all Physiology BSc grads to do Msc in Pharmacology? I.e, is your case not a special one?
2. Does MSc Pharmacology give them near-certain job security?

Not exactly relared;
3. I learnt that owning a Pharmacy legally is limited to people with degree in Pharmacy. But, in a case where a person has MBBS as first degree, and MSc in Pharmacology, does he still qualify to own a Pharmacy like Pharmacists who are licensed to?

Please note that you will be doing a massive favour by answering these questions as it will form a basis of advice and possible career path for several people. Thanks.

Firstly,

You should ask, how do I know Ogochukwu Chuks attended Dority when it is not on his LinkedIn profile or Twitter acct?

I know this, because he was my junior in school

I know the school did well in 2010, because that was my set and I know my humble ranking.

As for the records you are asking for from 2016, I no be waec - that one is not my business.

Like I said earlier, you did well but it is impossible to capture all the data because everybody is not a social media person

Chuks page sef on linkedin, he doesn't even mention his work in secondary school.

You should understand that there are many other silent guys like that

My information was not sourced from social media, but from a newspaper publication. I also stated that I could not obtain a few persons' information. Also, I even contacted someone privately to get her details. So, I crossed my Ts and dotted my Is. You said the school performed well in 2009. The question is: how come their names were not published in a newspaper publication? My argument is that when you want to counter an argument, you do so with sources. It is not about LinkedIn but the names as published by WAEC. Also, it is actually good to know why the school has declined in performance if they had such a stellar record.

Yes, we can debate, but it should be fact-based.

Bro, there is no debate here

I only pointed out that you cannot find every information online.

And that includes the source list you want for 2009 from Dority unless one visits the school and specifically collects said data.

My critique of the list is putting people with 6as and 3bs as top ten performers in waec.

Such people might not be top five in their school , talk less of top ten in the nation- I know this from experience.

If you want to make a list like this, stick to people that made all as or 8as and one B.

You're welcome. I think the issue with Physiology sometimes is that a lot of people stumble upon it, like they accept to study Physiology not because it is their main choice but because they didn't make cutoff for Medical and Dental majors. But studying Physiology is advantageous because you can study well, get good grades and get direct entry into MBBS and Dentistry. Now to your questions,
you can do Pharmacology masters as Physiology grad because you are eligible as a Basic Medical science graduate. So my case isn't that special. A couple of colleagues followed the same path. MSc Pharmacology can offer Job opportunities with big Pharmas and other healthcare providers and HMOs. It can also lead to a career in academia. Thirdly, to open a Pharmacy, what some people do is to rent a Pharmacist certificate and they may not necessarily be pharmacist for example before I got my Government job, I worked in a Pharmacy as a Pharmacy assistant and i gathered extensive experience in Pharmacy operation in terms of Procurement, running the pharmacy, Pharmacy bookeeping and even dispensing along with consultation based on my postgraduate qualification as a Clinical Pharmacologist. I hope I've done a bit of Justice to your inquiry.

I know the reason Tinubu's APC government is seriously clamping down on Japa.


They are foolishly believing that it is diaspora Nigerians that are sponsoring Peter Obi and Obidient plus IPOB, so they want to reduce Japa at all cost but Tinubu and his ignorant cabinet forgot that it is even Yorubas that makeup the majority of those migrating via healthcare work, followed closely by Igbos.


Your suggestion of paying an exit fee is also a creative idea but the people under this APC government are mostly clueless and heartless
Everything is not about your serial party defector and fake messiah.

@gerrar.d59
In this article, WAEC officials explained: The Examination body said that another candidate, Mr. Chuks Ezike also scored distinctions (A1) in nine subjects with a T-score analysis of 712.0972 but that Falokun emerged the best with a T-analysis of 742.6992.

So, my next step will be to meet WAEC officials so they explain how their rankings are performed.

Chuks Ezike Ogochukwu mentioned in this post, attended Dority, he was 2011 set
The school was mentioned. So, this means the school is good then. However, WAEC methodology remains to be seen.

In all, Nigeria has excellent schools. Another reason to live in your dominant environment.

Thanks for your critique.

Yeah. I won't say he jap-ed. He just opened an office in London and made the UK his 2nd home. Last time I saw him physically aside sm communication was around 2013 in VI, I believe he was still at Chams then, while I was searching for KLM office to buy ticket and eventually japa-ed myself a few days later. Happy he is what he is now and doing great for himself. He was very bright at OAU too. In year two, he was getting paid by 5th year engr students to help them with final year projects.
At first bold, doing what every Nigerian elite has done: obtain residency in the abroad.

At the second bold, any idea of his final CGPA?

If you can't afford private universities, atleast invest in good secondary schools for your kids.

And a good home tutor.
Even If you spend 60% of your income on your child's basic education, it's worth it.

Once the foundation is solid, they can then go on to UI, Unilag, Uniben, UNN of this world and do great things and change your family history.
That foundation is critical.
True words. The foundation enables them to compete on merit for admissions into first generation federal universities, unarguably Nigeria's most affordable universities with high quality. From there, they can compete favourably. To change the family's history and private tutoring, they should aim at quant-based courses. Children from small should be made to be at least good at mathematics. The most lucrative jobs and even entrepreneurial ventures are math based.

Officially known as WASSCE, but popularly known as WAEC, the organising body. It is the exam Nigerian students write to at the end of their secondary school education. It is also written by students in the West African sub-region. One of the major prerequisites for entry into tertiary institutions across the world. For easy understanding, both WAEC and WASSCE will be used interchangeably. For some people, I could not find anything, so it is stated as “nothing was found”. If you know such persons, kindly comment.

Engineering is actually the most relevant course to study in the world.

Civil
Mechanical
Electrical
Agriculture
Chemical
Safety

The world cannot do without these disciplines.

Even when you study these courses, you'd be happy and glad, even if you don't have a job yet, but there will be fulfillment in you.

You'd always grow and develop in Engineering. You are not limited to one line of thought.

My pleasure.. and no problem. But man, Nairaland's anti-spambot thoroughly dealt with me because of this thread. Dampened my morale. I had to even buy a domain name and started building a website so I could publish my findings rather than mailing mods upandown. Going forward, I will work on the website so I do things my way. The endless bans were annoying and tiring.
Oops! Sorry about that. Very good idea all round. Well done!

You may be right. But one thing you may not know about Tosin of Moniepoint is that, he's got lots of western training skills. He travels a lot. When in interswitch, he was always traveling for trainings, though he could be sponsoring himself but this is a fact. Ask him , if in doubt
