Greatest uniben students, uniben never really made me feel great, right from the day I wrote my post utme which I prepared so hard for, down to my final year, because all my result were never reflection of the efforts which I put in.

Did anyone else feel this way, i would love to here from you.
If uniben made you doubt your intelligence, what would Harvard do?

she had history in your life. I feel your pains, if u have a weak soul you might act funny. Hold on
Initially I thought I couldn't take the pain cause I cried my eyes out before sitting back to finish up. Uptil now I still can't believe.
I have tried severally to see if I could understand how yet I could not .
I pray it does not hurt me in future cause the pain has refused to go even though I tried so dearly to let go but it keeps coming back.

I was far far far more intelligent than my elder brother right from childhood till we entered universities. I was always the star pupil and intelligent one in the family while he lagged behind.
He went to Covenant varsity and I went to Uniben. He finished with a high 2.1, almost to get first class, while I finished with 2.2 in Uniben, after having an extra year grin grin. Department of medical sciences. [/q


There is no lie in what you just said... That's how uniben is...as an intelligent student, they make you feel stupid... There are these set of us ,highly intelligent friends, scoring close to 300 in jamb and guess what! a guy with 279 or 289 in jamb had extra year,a friend of mine,very intelligent as well spent almost 3 extra years in pharmacy, my brother, I saw many things I can't start writing about now...highly intelligent people was just treated as if they don't know what they are doing.

just know what to read and how lecturers set their questions and read wide, you will definitely get your good grade that is how i pass through. uniben is stressful for sure but if u attended a sound secondary school where reading and studying is a must, then uniben is just a play through..i do skip lectures,do all flexing and all manner of activities in school still yet i made a 2:1 because i prepare for exam like a mad man and when examination time table is out,i always move with peers that are more intelligent than me.same method i used for my masters programme, getting my sweet A's and B's...schooling in uniben played a vital role in my life cos during my service year i was the only corp member allowed to teach SS3 student in the school i serve and during my interview in the company i got my job the panel were amazed on my level of confidence and smartness....thanks uniben for the stress, ruggedity, brutality and doggedness you in install in my life.... GOD BLESS UNIBEN

Is a woman .
She used to be nice , don't know what happened .
I loved her so much cause I enjoyed her class and courses .
I can write her exams with my eyes closed cuase she resumes lecture as soon as school resumes and she does not even treat too many topic in order not to complicate others.

Guy, calm down,...........be calming down.

I was a star way back then in secondary school, but after I saw my year one results in FUTO, I was honestly considering becoming a trader, FUTO really messed my life up that year sha, it was a miracle I even graduated with my set.
But when I when I got my first job in SPDC, in December of 2009. I discovered I was still a star, I won multiple awards in different offshore locations. I refused to renew my contract with SPDC at it's expiration(I was a contract staff), founded a consultancy company and I also lecture in a university. I had to sit down and really ask myself questions, then I discovered something. Students are not properly oriented about the university system, hence the error most of us encountered. In the university the lecturer simply introduces a course for you to research further unlike in the secondary school days where you are thought everything. Can you imagine the number of scripts lecturers mark? In some cases you have to teach from year ones to final years and you have a deadline to submit your scripts to the exam board? Guy, no long story for answers o. Just get to the point and go to the next one.

Its not just peculiar to UNIBEN, but the whole Nigerian university system as a whole. The system is wired to make you feel like you are a dumbo, and give you poor grades that will practically make your search for a job useless. Only in Nigeria will a B.sc holder be forced to do a job that pays 40k. Yet you go to any University abroad, put in the same amount of effort, and you come out in flying colours and then come back to Nigeria and employers will be rushing you with 200k abd above salaries. Nigeria is just messed up. Its gotten so bad that even Nigerians do not trust the system they created anymore.

This is unfortunate, but true. A friend of mine, back in the day, graduated with 3rd Class from FUTO. Do you know that when his parents sent him to the UK to do his Masters, this dude won the award of the best graduating student in aeronautical engineering and was offered a lecturing job at the same time by the university? He is now an associate professor in the UK. Someone FUTO managed to give a 3rd class o!

My brother you are not alone in this, believe me.

I finished from Uniben in 2017 from the faculty of medical sciences and believe me, going to Uniben was the biggest mistake and regret I have in this life till now. Especially when I had the option of going to a private varsity.

Throughout my primary school and for most of my secondary school, I was a star pupil and always came at the top of the class.
Uniben was a very different story for me and I actually had an extra year.
Till now I hate Benin city as a whole and avoid going to that city like a plague, even though I have lots of family members there. Cos whenever I go there, I remember the frustrations from that school called Uniben.

Almost everything about Uniben is fvcked up. Only few faculties are sane. The rest are like a death trap.
I was an intelligentsia and erudite before I got into Uniben. I was very passionate about an academic career and education. However, I have lost all that steam attending Uniben and all my heart and attention in life have been diverted towards business.
I don't even want to hear of a master's degree with my 2 ears, in spite of how much my family is on my neck to pursue a master's.

When I was in my final year and I saw the new intakes who were very happy and excited to gain admission into Uniben, I shook my head. I pitied them.
Uniben is just like the road to hell, where before you realize how far you have gone, it's too late to turn around.

My brother, it is well.
You are definitely not alone in this.
Dust yourself and pick yourself up, things are going to be fine.
Faculty of medical science? There is no such thing as that.. In uniben, we have School of medicine and faculty of basic medical science..
I don't know where you got yours from..

You are so right.. Lecturers in uniben rejoice when students fail
Something like, "oh you didn't make it? No problems you can always write it again next year. That's no problem, if you look around you will not need to search hard for professional students. See, like that guy coming now, i guess he is coming with his assignment, he knows he won't score nothing. We have them so many around. Don't worry, we are still around even if you choose to be here for the next decade."

my experience in University of Benin was sweet and fruitful even though my HOD at that time slashed those of us that had A in project to C because in his words no student deserves to have an A in project but by the end of my final year first semester I already knew I was gonna graduate with a second class upper which was my target grade from the onset.
In Uniben you just don't only have to be intelligent you need alliances and also understand as much lecturer you can because lecturers have different ways of asking questions.
Re: UNIBEN Made Me Doubt My Intelligence by Prettychichi21(f): 11:58pm On Sep 01, 2020
To excel in Uniben, you need to discover the best reading method that works best for you.
I started 100l with high hopes of a first class only for me to "secure" my very first CO in 3 courses grin for first semester alone o cheesy. I came from a polytechnic where i finished with a distinction. I had to rewrite jamb cos i wanted nursing but was given one life science course instead. I guess my hatred for the course contributed greatly to my failure in first semester 100l.
Fast forward to second semester, i aced all my courses with a 3.8 CGPA having no CO.

In 200l first semester, i got 4.64 cheesy cos i was determined to transfer to nursing...i also aced the three CO courses..then in second semester i made a 4.21 before i bought transfer form to nursing.

University hostels is one of the place with high sense of peer pressure.It takes a disciplined and God fearing guy/girl to pass that phase.
In my 100level,I was with some bad boys.One use to take tramadol then he will go to olosho house.Another one loves weed like say tomorrow no dey.The third one like bringing hot babes to the room.I cannot still believe that even with all this,I never did what they were doing but it was not easy,i must say.All thanks to God.
