Omosivie,:
I can't advise u to study this course. Pls don't rush into a university and study any course. Can u boldly tell someone that u're studying home econs education? I know of someone that's studying crk and she's always ashamed of it and she tries to tu.sh it up a little bit.

That's very true bro, don't apply for any course with the intentions of pulling out when you get to year two. You will need a CGPA of 4.0 and above to do that. Besides, education students are not allowed to cross to other faculties. Just wait for the cut-off marks and see where you stand first before making decisions.

Omosivie,:
It's not really possible to do that cos it's a cumbersome process.
1, Ur Gpa must be above 4.5.
2. There must be an available space in the department u want to move to.
3. Ur department must be willing to let go of u. In some cases, ur department won't want to let go of u if u're one of their best students.

You will only need 4.5 when you're crossing over to professional courses like ENGINEERING,Law etc. As your current department, they will not have the right to reject your transfer. But still I will not advise anyone to depend on such procedures as you don't even know what you will face when you get in. Just make sure who have interest in whatever course you are going for and don't go for a course with the aim of changing.

well as 4 me, dis jus happened a few months ago. All shops were closed due 2 student protests in sch. We cudnt buy anythin and i only had garri nd boiling ring. So i had 2 beg my roommate who jus finished cookin watery beans 2 give d 'water' on top of d beans. I made eba nd used d 'beans water' as my soup (like gbegiri). Great Improvisation.

HI, aspiring akokites, hope ur post utme preparations r goin on well, i really wish u all gudluck. Pls do not rely on any magomago, just study well, pray and believe and God will be on ur side. U can get all u need on dis page, i can testify to dat. but also be wise, U can also add me on fb, my fb name is Mosope Kehinde.

list followed by yet another
University in Egypt, American
University in Cairo.
According to a statement on their
website, “While students from
across the continent continue to
move abroad to study at leading
learning institutions in the U.S. and
Europe, Africa boasts its own league
of great universities. Presented
below is Part I of Africa.com’s Top
10 Universities in Africa. Part II will
feature the Top 10 Universities in
South Africa, a country that is home
to enough academic heavyweights
to populate its own list.”
Here is the list of 10 Universities
ranked top in Africa:
1. Cairo University – Egypt
2. American University in Cairo –
Egypt
3. Mansoura University – Egypt
4. Makerere University – Uganda
5. University of Nairobi – Kenya
6. University of Dar es Salaam –
Tanzania
7. University of Botswana –

The Statement on University of
Lagos
Established in 1962 with the aim of
training professionals for the newly
independent Nigeria, the University
of Lagos is a comprehensive
university that strives to learn
through “knowledge and research.”
The University houses nine faculties,
and the Medical School is home to
three faculties. With an emphasis on
research, the University’s faculty has
published over 1,700 papers, with
the most publications coming out of
the medical, science, and
engineering faculties.
In celebration of its Golden Jubilee,
the University of Lagos will host a
three-day research conference and
fair with the theme “Research and
Innovation for Economic
Development in a Globalising
Nigeria.”
Notable alumni include Nigerian
television actor Francis Agu;

The criteria used for the ranking
include the following: 1)
undergraduate and graduate school
reputation among higher education
peers; 2) student selectivity for
entering undergraduate class; 3)
quality and quantity of faculty
research, including depth of
research facilities and engagement
beyond immediate community, and

degree to which institution draws
students from outside of its national
boundaries.
Based on the criteria used, do you
think University of Lagos among all
other Universities deserved to be the

Hello Nairalanders, A friend of mine needs ur help on this one. She's a student and urgently needs to buy a laptop for some her courses. However she has only got N10,000. Now dont get her wrong, She is not asking for your donations, She just needs to know where to buy a fairly used laptop that is in good condition for that price here in Lagos.

vicade: Why envy Celebrated Mediocrity ?

yeah right, top 10 or 20 in over 1000 is mediocre. People like you are called pessimists

vicade: www.4icu.org/menu/about.htm


Ignorance is Bliss in your case.

It clearly says in the link above that "...The colleges and universities are ranked by web popularity in 200 countries."

And if you are truly a UNILAG student,That says it all.

And guess the owner of Africa.com is also a Unilag student or Alumnus. Or she was probably paid by Bello, (our V.C) Bros, envy cannot lead you anywhere.

vicade: And for the 1000th time, 4icu ranks universities based on web ranking. The population of unilag and its IT penetration has more to do with the ranking rather than academic excellence,integrity or reputation. When it comes to those 3 parameters, I'm sure UNILAG won't be in the top 20 in africa;and that's without including the south african universities.

guy get ur facts right. Webometrics is based on web presence, 4icu is not. If u are not convinced, chk 4 urself, by d way i feel UNILAG is a step above others not because am a student.

Guys if u had read d post well enough, you will have observed that 1. The writer lived in SA. 2. There is a seperate list for SA Universities so has not to interfere with the list, SA unis are no doubt the best in africa and in top could have about 7 or 8 unis check this, www.4icu.org/topAfrica/ if not for SA unis, UNILAG would be 7th

Unbelievable stats, Ronaldo 869
days older than Messi, Baby CR7
(we dont even know the child's
name) also 869 days older than
Thiago (baby Messi). Guess we
already know which of them
will
grow up to be world best.
Anything
Messi will always beat anything
Ronaldo whether you like it or
not.
Sorry haters, maybe Ronaldo
should try again next year and
this time around, he shouldn't
be scared of taking a important
penalty kicks like he did againt
Spain in the Euros. And hope as
well that Messi doesn't score
100 goals. But time is ticking
for the guy. The likes of Reus,
Mata, Oscar, Wilshere, Falcao
Naymar etc are closing in on
his World No. 2 tag.

Breaking News! Terry seen leaving Stamford Bridge with Referee Mark Clattenburg's wife.

shopisky: Represent d tens and unit digits with x and y respt. From d 1st part of d question, 3x = 2 + y y - 3x + 2 = 0 -----(eqn 1) From d 2nd part, 10y + x = 36 + 10x + y 9y - 9x - 36 = 0 by factorising we get y - x - 4 = 0-----(eqn 2) [note that because we are dealing with a two-digit-number, we multiply the tens digit by 10 and add to the unit digit] Now solvin equations 1 and 2 by elimination method (eqn 2)-(eqn 1) we get 2x - 6 = 0 x = 3 by subst. (x = 3) into any of d eqns, we get y =7 therefore, the tens and unit digits are 3 and 7 respectively givin 37

infact, answers to questns like this dont need solvin, just look at d options, which fits the 1st criteria? (three times d tens digit = 2 plus d unit digit), only 37 fits, cos d tens digit is 3, times 3 gives 9 which equals 2 plus d unit digit (7).
