Sincerely, both courses are weird and almost very risky to study so far as Nigeria is concerned in terms of jobs and/or entrepreneurship.

If you have not started I sugges you go for something more specific or more professional like Law, accounting, Human resource management etc etc

they askd me to chose between d two

Honest advice, take communication; it's a nice course. Don't know abou d other course, so I cant say.

Am just confused

The problem is i applied 4 bam(business admin nd management). Wen i went 4 physical screening dey screen me awt because i didn't wrote maths in my jamb nd exam is fast approaching( may 4th) i need help 2day is d deadline to chose between d two course

Then go for OTM, this is a course that if you get a good grade like firstclass or 2'1, you can enter into any industry from banking to FMCG, to OG, to consulting and even government.

On the other hand, Mass communication is very streamline and opportunities in Nigeria are very minimal.

(Even though what you study doesn't really determine where you will work, this logic most times apply to the engineers and sciences, because many companies believe they can easily adapt)

All in all, I'd advice you to pick OTM, due the reason stated above, Mass com is overhyped and overrated in Nigeria, no jobs for them. (Try not to short chain yourself) OTM offers you more options and better chances at making it big.
Just make sure you have nothing less than a second class upper, infact a first class if possible because 2'1 is like purewater out here in the job market now.
