MrOdyssey:


A very inspiring story u got there.
For your question i'd say i had a very rough academic rides. At a point i thought there was a jinx placed on me perhaps for leaving "Fr Edehs" school.. after i left madonna after spending exactly one year there. i had 3 unsuccessful attempts at securing admission into a public school to study medicine. finally got in on my 4th attempt. i'm currently in 200L., the journey is still a long one for me but i know i will have the last laugh.

Sometimes some beautiful paths can't be discovered without getting lost, being a medical student alone in a government institution is a great achievement already, and at the end of the tunnel greater things awaits you.... Honestly marveled at your courage and determination.

MrOdyssey:


Thats great. Congratulations on your massive feat. I really admire your zeal and passion starting all over again after 3 wasteful years.
I know a guy in my area. He owns a small provision store. A graduate of madonna. Dude was pressured to study economics there by his parents only to realise the dept wasn't accredited after 4 years. His parents adviced him to pickup jamb form and start over but he refused. His still mad wit his parents tho which is why they were forced to setup a bizness for him.

Yeah it wasn't easy at all, after three years, got admitted after two attempts, I met so many of my mates who left before me in my new school all happy and doing well academically, I immediately regretted not leaving Caritas after my first year. Part of my compensation came after graduating I was mobilized for service just after three months. Now nothing bothers me, I lived to know that my only limitation is me, today might be bad but tomorrow will be better once you make it your goal.

Doc how many more years before you start practicing?

MrOdyssey:


Thanks man. i hope the post-university life has been fair to you?

yes it has been, though just completed service not too long ago.

ezenwajosh:
They said they where abducted when writing WAEC.... pls do they write waec in Hausa language..... Cox the girls never knew how to write nor speak english

I marked waec during my service year, marked script from a northern center to be specific and Northerners are given preferential treatment during marking, our coordinators directed us not to judge them from their grammar presentation but try to make a little sense from the rubbish they write and score them. I failed them much cos majority couldn't make a meaningful sentence but during vetting I was directed to go upgrade them, at the end of the day, they passed. So when you ask how can someone who doesn't know how to speak or write English be a waec candidate, I tell you my brother it's very possible in Nigeria most expecially in the north.

MrOdyssey:



Bro you are indeed a one time student of fr Edeh. i spent only one year there., Madonna university precisely and trust me it was an experience i wouldn't wish for my worse enemy. the so called father played and is still playing god with the lives of his students. i finally summoned the courage against all odds to pack up and leave after i realised there was no end to my doom. the suffering,frustration,exploitation,fear and intimidation was no longer bearable so i had to forcefully break free on the advice of my parents and older students in my department who asked me to run while i could.
Most notable was Obiora, a much older student in my department who called me in,sat me down and with pain and sincerity in his eyes told me 'Daniel i don't want you to go through wat i have experienced here,u've only spent a year here., packup ur things and run or u'll for ever regret it".
those words clinged unto me like pregnancy until i took my big leap, went through some challenges in getting into a better university but now, i am a happy medical student of a fully accredited government university experiencing the sweet taste of being called an undergraduate.

madonna university is indeed my worst academic mistake.

Congrats bro, you took a bold and right step.

The biggest mistake I have made in this life was stepping foot into your maximum penitentiary called Caritas University, but I don't blame you, na me carry myself come meet you. 3 years I spent in your school was like 50 years in hell.
I remember the every Wednesday forceful orientation(aayi), Thursday compulsory adoration, and how we were been packed lack sadine into a Gold transport marcopolo bus to attend your adoration in elele, with students being treated like cattles controlled by herds men.
I remember when you made each and every student of your institution swear to a bible individually after a Sunday mass I still can recollect the words "if I ever trew stone or knew who trew stone and decide not to tell, let me die", some months later during a Sunday service you sent security officers into a pentecostal church in the school, the church service was put to a halt and all Catholics presently in the church were fished out and served with suspension letters, the decision was reversed after much pleading they were made to pay 25k each, their offense was exercising their right to freedom of choice.
You always said anyone who left your university for another University was set for failure and would never be admitted into any other University, after three years of fear, torture, intimidation and financial exploitation, I was able to man up and take my leave, I didn't leap or fall, rather I got admitted into a government established University, had a taste of what a real University environment felt like, came out with a good grade and currently facing life hurdles and struggle squarely just like every other person. Happy birthday sir

mosisnho:



Bro nobody was allowed to take the interview without original certificates. But I noticed she allowed some who had their original waec cert. With notification of degree result. Just pray she is in a good mood when it's your turn

Lol, exactly, her pattern of mood swing is out of understanding.

faroukalabi:


Thanks a lot bro. please when did you get the affidavit, is it a recent one or the one you've been using before?.

A very recent one not up to two months old sef. Actually had issues during the test, so she (hr girl) said if I didn't get an affidavit I wouldn't be cleared for the interview, so I went and got one, which I presented during the interview and was allowed in without a glitch.

funobong:

So baba you mean say no other interview dey again?

lol, no be wetin i mean, I mean if i no get this job I no dey apply again.

faroukalabi:
Evening everyone, please I have issues with the DOB on my valid means of identification. But the DOB on my WAEC certificate is same with the one on my Birth certificate. Do I need a court affidavit to that effect??

I had the same issue, I swore an affidavit, stating that the error in my DOB on my ID was a mistake made by............. I was cleared and was interviewed. Though my interview date was two weeks ago.

dikachimoses:

please what was there reaction as regards those with university statement of result

They accept it, that's what I used.

The guy taking about people already running their documentation, I can't attest to that, but anything is possible in this country. What am sure of is that I know someone who didn't take the test but has been called for interview already.. Interview center isn't even kofo abayomi or Abraham adesanya but another branch, which I can't share, he had his interview a couple of days ago. When we were applying he told me he was under instruction not to apply ..... In Nigeria to get a good Job you either need connection or grace.

That doesn't mean some of us won't get the Job, but after slots have been filled the bitter reality is that a large number of applicants will be left battling for very few positions left...... But this will be my last anyway, if this doesn't work out, I am going to farm. I kant kill myself say I wan wear corporate. Good luck to us all.

.mine is less than 40,000 milage, drove for two years without having to visit the mechanic apart from changing of oil and oil filter, and maybe break pad. Nothing like brand new. Selling off anyway to raise capital for business. Painful losing a reliable beast.

fatymore:
have done that since.... Thanks.. Nobody is above mistake

yes, nobody is.

fatymore:
correct me pls

Replace tear with torn.... Have a lovely day.

pls who knows how many stages are left after dis interview

Endeavor to download Jordin sparks- one step at a time.

Vicboi1:
we loose more than that , do you know that Nigeria can generate electricity through coal yet we cry of lack of power supply , do u how much money we loose from the oil sector .

The only solution to do to Nigeria for a group of people to rise up and start killing this politicians whether APC or PDP

Seconded, How do we achieve this? even the youths who are the supposed leaders of tomorrow are not ready for power, majority just want to get there and pocket a large portion of the National cake. I voted APC in the last election because I felt PMB could be our Thomas sankara or Jerry rawlings but it's clear I was wrong. What's the way out of this conundrum?

jatau7:
am doing fine...hope u don ready for dem.. d way dem dey ask question for dis interview e be like say na 1 million dem wan dey pay per month. ..

omo, no be say, them hit me from all angles.

bestspoke:

Make I no lie you...
your $50 fb ads will not get you past $20 for a new blog. Infact I doubt you will make up to $10.
why?
1. Nigerian traffic: It is the worse you can ever expect as advertisers in the country don't bid past 0.1 . it is between 0.01 to 0.09 even if you get mad traffic.All you'll have is impression and few poor clicks. Which will annoy you at the end. RPM is a major determinant. If you have 10,000views from fb traffic and your RPM seats at 0.5 to $1. Your earnings won't move past $10.Study how to increase RPM ,read about the tricks. Cause RPM is the major determinant factor of your loss...or profit

2. The kind of post you promoting and your targeting: Most posts attract only likes and not clicks.while some attracts shares and click.If the latter is your case. them I'm sorry,all you'll get are likes likes and few poor clicks.


My point is: forget it that you'll make any profit from your first fb ads. It will most likely be for experiments and ada optimisation for your next ads. You'll need to set a targeting that converts and the posts controversial enough to garner shares and clicks..

I will advise that you use $30 to run fb like ads.
And $20 to run an experimental ad.
you won't make any profit just yet. Don't raise your hopes and get disappointed later.you target should be Google search traffic from U S. Which is why I'll advise against entertainment blogging.Will you run ads for life? And can you keep up?


Well cheers to your blogging career

Is this why any day I get much clicks from USA my earnings skyrocket? cos am new and don't know much yet.

funobong:
I think I saw you cos I was there but I don't think they dis qualified that guy.
I believe it was just a threat to make others scared

I hope so too

bibisandra:


Please what happened

I was schedule for 12pm,but I went early and was opportune to meet few people among those schedule for 9am still yet to do theirs, one of them was a guy who wrote his test sane day with mine. After greeting him I sat and started listening to the conversation at hand cos the fellow that just came out of the interview room was sharing his experience with him, few mins later he was called in and after about 20 mins he was out, and I asked him what his experience was like, he told me few things, he said he was asked more of economical question which wasn't in line with his course of study but it was an interesting interview.

In the process of giving us few tips the hr girl singled him out immediately saying he was sharing his interview experience and threatened to disqualify him. Ordinarily I thought it was just a minor issue which an apology could solve, the guy humbly went to her and told her he was very sorry and won't repeat such again, she embarrassed him, directed her assistance to go to his interview panel and tell them to disqualify him. Isn't that pure wickedness? For christ sake he isn't the only one who shared experiences after leaving that room today, apart from that everyone wasn't asked same question as each panel had loads of questions to ask. Why make him a scape goat when you can easily caution him not to do it again. This is graduate trainee recruitment and so many of us aren't conversant with do's and dont's. I was pained honestly.

I spoke to my female friend who did her interview in kano today and she told me an hr personnel was directing them on what to go through quickly and likely area which questions will come from.

bibisandra:


What happened? Hope they are accepting statement of result.

They are, that's not an issue.

I dislike using vulgar word on people, but that fair HR girl that checked credentials in Abraham adesanya and currently checking credentials for interview candidates in kofo abayomi is a beast.

make we do Anderlecht that thing we do Chelsea for old Trafford early this week

mecussey:


U don implicate nepa man leaving for ur area...watch how the thing go drop

lol, omo God no go gree

shinarlaura:

Three months now without any electricity failure

wow, where?

I stay in Iyana-ipaja axis of Lagos, Alimosho to be precise, and for the past few years the love we get from Nepa is crazy, we can boast of 18 hrs electricity supply in a day and most times more. Where do you live and how many hours of power supply do you get in a day?

jhudit:

That possible questions dey important o!
Because if you're tensed, they can be nice enough to make you calm and pick out one or two sense in what you're trying to say. If you no come know ordinary mission/vision statement...it's well.

Senipapa, I fear crocodile pass dinosaur sha

lmao, me sef fear crocodile no be say.

Nchabuomo:
Nice one Senipapa. I think desperation is another fact. It's just an interview...it isn't a war! Either way it goes better dey ahead.
Personally if I have plenty fine girls for my panel, I wouldn't like it .
But we need possible questions o. That's the easiest way to build confidence. If you have an idea of what's coming , you tend to be more confident.

You are right.

Everyone is after possible interview questions, forgetting that one of the major problem applicants possess is interview anxiety, and no matter how much you prepare, anxiety can ruin all that effort. I have not much to say, but I put it to everyone here that the interviewers aren't dinosaurs but human beings like you and I, most of them can't even match you face to face in an intellectual discussion outside that room, most of them were once dismal students, the only thing that differentiates you from them presently is that they are already staff in an establishment where you are also qualified to work. So dump your fears behind when you leave home, be bold, be confident, answer intelligently, wear a smile and I tell you the sky will be your limit. The worst thing that can happen will be that you won't get the job, so what? Move to the next opportunity. (SENIPAPA)

ZarZar:


But your GF is not like his GF, obviously. Y'all can get chummy all you want, but in the OP's case, the girl doesn't seem to get down like that.

My dear her being insecure is making her see problems where they don't exist. Am a fan of your posts anyway.

ZarZar:
Wouldn't you think something was off if she sent one of your guy friends a friend request?

TBH, this would make me mad too. I'd imagine all sorts of things, like perhaps you're crushing on the friend, etc.

Na wa o.I relate with my girlfriends close friends very well and she does same with my good friends, she even reminds me to send wishes to her friends, we are all friends on Facebook and it has never been an issue. Anyways Sha, to each his own.
