Chiamaka01:
It also seems like those with a flair for engineering and who pursue don't pass through much stress before getting it.

I have a feeling that you think it's less challenging.... I should oppose that, but I don't have enough backup, so I won't.

Chiamaka01:


Why oau medicine? You mean people go through less stress in other schools?

.I have not bin to all d universities in naija.but 4rm pple's testimonies.yes.u must have heard dis statement. "deer are only 2 universities in naija,OAU and odas

Chiamaka01:
Is there any jambite who didn't pass through any post-secondary institution and was given medicine?

.yes dere will be few.anyways DAT will be after d supplementary list.does with strong"long legs"

Good morning to the great minds that keep the flow of this thread.
Great! Great! Great!

@tobeykush
That depends on what 'it' is. If 'it' stands for being admitted to study engineering, you're not too far from the truth. If 'it' is studying engineering, you're wide off the mark.

So, there aren't any in that category who were admitted on merit?

yeah, I'm not too far from your 'truth'..... in my opinion, getting 'it' is just as challenging.... the only diff is that the fear of advanced maths as significantly reduced the competition compared to biology... cause that's the subject that differentiates everything- for now

.I don't think so.most of d "fresh from sec schl"DAT study medicine here come in thru d supplementary list

talking about advanced maths differentiating things ....
now that was punny

I don't think OAU is the only school where there is a struggle for medicine. The NMA gives a certain number of medical students that each school can admit in a year.I'm not sure other courses have a centrally governing body like that hence admission is based on the school's discretion.

Btw.......I think at certain times, Medicine is over-rated in Nigeria. (quote and I shoot )

It's not over rated.

Chiamaka01:

Can you compare the number of unemployed/underemployed doctors to that of any profession in Nigeria? @timmytimmy

Lol, seems like Dr Chiamaka is ready to pounce on me.Well, I think you're very right,unfortunately like most doctors and to-be doctors, you misunderstood the statement I made . That statement is rather political........it has sooooooo many meanings but what I meant was that "the general thinking of an average Nigerian is that once you become a medical doctor,your financial, social and health problems are most likely over".

because they are most likely over... tell me one doctor you have seen walking under the scorching sun to submit his CV....

Not really, but I know a medical doctor that doesn't know how to quote... *looks around*
