Go for it, organization like UN, USAID and other numerous International NGO are looking forward to employ people like you, I will advice that while studying try involve yourself with volunteer/development work to gain experience before you graduate which you can use to enrich your cv, thanks.

For some people including myself, it is not about the employment ( in this case you actually mean money not employment in the real sense of it ) but the goal, the motivation behind choosing the course in the first place.

I will advise the OP to wait. Good things come to those who wait.

Gaining admission to study medicine now in a school like ABU is not an easy task.So many politics is involved.Hope you understand my point? I graduated from ABU and I know how they operate.

I'll advice you take the Agric and continue seeking for medicine.In case you don't get medicine, you have something to fall back on.

Better still, if you feel ABU will waste your time, I suggest you chose another University except for sure you have a strong backing with good Jamb and Post Jamb results, then you will definitely get the course.

On a lighter note, they say 'an ABU Graduate is ahead of you naturally'.Very funny slogan but keep that in mind grin

Goodluck!

I applied for medicine in ABU and when their admission list came out my name was nowhere to be found. now I am doing ijmb in ABU,Kabba, Kogi State. I dont know what happened but it just came to my mind to check my admission status again this afternoon. so I checked and saw that I have been offered admission to study agriculture.
I am so confused right now because my people are all advising me to go for the course. apart from that I will do jamb again this year and am also doing ijmb. so I dont really know which decision to make.
guys I really need your advice.


we all have unique goals,ambition,prospects .........my own say is FOLLOW UR INSTINCT.......

You walked into a restaurant and requested for 'executive cuisine(MBBS)', and they told you it costs '$100(280 utme score)', and all you had was $12(220 utme score). They now chose to offer you 'biscuit'(Agric sci) as fall back.

Now, it's left for you to accept the cheap biscuit, or you go back, earn more than enough, then come back to request for the cuisine.

But then, it is how a child whistles that will tell how that child would blow a trumpet. If you're finding it hard to score excellent in your utme, imagine what the story would be when you manage to get MBBS.

Ask yourself what you really want to be, check your qualities, and decide if you've got what it takes!

I am currently in my penultimate year in the university, currently studying agriculture, One thing I believe in life is that, God works in mysterious ways, I am not telling you to go 4 agriculture neiþher am I telling you not to. But to be on the safer side agriculture is the best course you can study right now,it is a course that enables you to be your own boss,Ýou work conveniently, earn good cash and you will still have a lot of spare time on your hand, I am studying Agriculture today not because it was given to me against my will,but because I chose it during my pre-degree days and I chose it during jamb. NUC regulation states that most schools should increase the slots given to jambites during admission processing. Agric is about to be revolutionised in this country. So watch out!!!!!!

Funny it may sound, Agriculture is the next big thing in this country, Life has just thrown an opportunity on your laps,you certainly wont realize it now,but you will bet grateful if you actually take this course a few years from now...best of luck on whatever decision u make

Pls go for it, I have a friend who wanted medicine, ended up in botany, tried jamb many times and didn't work out, he graduated with first class honours, he has two Mscs, nigeria and abroad, starting his Phd soon abroad with full scholarship..

Agriculture isn't bad, and u can rewrite jamb while studying It..

Just ask God for direction.

My two cents..

My sister was in the same situation about 10 years ago. Find out if you can change your course after the first year. When you know that is possible, endeavour to pass all your 100 level courses even higher than most medicos on your level find out the extra courses you might not be taking together sinceAgic and Medicos take almost same courses in100L and add them to your courseload, Pray for favour and at the end of your first year, cross over to medicine. For all youcare some of the students that were admitted for medicine don't survive the first year and you will nicely take one of such spots. Wishing you the best.

Before i Advice you to go for it or Forfeit it, What was your Jamb Score and post utme Score, Coz i Believe if they were both High, A.b.u could have Giving you the Medicine or Something close to it. Many People are blinded by the Conviction that Medicine is their Passion, when literally, they do not have what it takes. No offence Bro, But if you believe youre 'Academically Excellent',you believe youre Meant for More, and Age is not is not Encroaching on you, then Buckle up and Prepare for Jamb 2015.

My dear, sometimes dis kinda situation needs subjective decisions. What applies for u may not work for anoda. First of all, how intelligent are u? Are u certain of making 260 and above in Jamb and about 70% score in post utme. If u are, den u can leave it. For me, pick d course , try make 3.5 and above, write anoda jamb, in dat case, u are losing notin, u can switch with 3.5 cgpa to a better course or switch if u make it in jamb.

I am sorry to say but this isn't totally true. In most schools you can't cross.
