I'm just hoping to get the admission this year by God's Grace.
At least I'll not have to deal with strikes, sadistic lecturers and epileptic power supply...
My graduation date is predictable from resumption...

I've already prepared my statement of purpose in anticipation.

You would Bro by God's grace, nice one you have a statement of purpose on ground already. Is it Landmark or Covenant you want to go and which course Bro?

SpoiltVirgin:
thanks but he is using awaiting results though, registered for waec and neco already.

Since the new session is starting in August, his results would be out before then. Wishing him the best in his O level exams.

SpoiltVirgin:
only about 10-15 of those schools have an healthy financial and sustainable structure. My younger bro just checked his jamb, he scored 262, he applied for computer engineering at covenant university as first choice. What are his chances of gaining admission?

Bro, in as much as his post utme and O level results are nice and more so he chose CU as first choice, he would be admitted for the course. That's the system we use in Landmark and Covenant universities

Nedfed:
Only three (3) do I Know and recommend
1. Convenant University, Ota
2. Landmark University, Omu-Aran and
3. Others

Thanks for appreciating the excellence in my University and her Sister University.

sniperr007:
U still ve to know someone in the school to influence it. But his chances are high.

No Bro, in Landmark University and Covenant University, it's based on merit. Once his post utme and O level is good, he's in for the course. Have a great day Bro.

I'm sis oo! Abi una no want women for here?

I don't believe it's tribalism, they are protecting their people. Yoruba are the only people in the world who want others to be equal with them on their own soil. What is responsible for this I don't know but, it portrays us as cowards and in some cases slaves who have resigned to fate. We really have to be honest with ourselves. The people you want to be equal with in your house are ready to push you out and take total control. How did Hausa get to be almost 85% of the work force at the Lagos ports and every federal job in Lagos and SW in general? Yoruba kids are not getting jobs in Lagos because outsiders have taken over and will keep replacing with their own while future Yoruba generations can't find jobs.We need to shed this attitude fast before it's over for us.

I.don't want to scare you, but there will be some form of violence to get all our jobs back from Hausa and fulani. Our fathers passed this to us but we will not pass it to our children. Our region has always been the richest since the colonial days and still have more money than we can spend, but all has been going to build the north, Chad and Niger republic while we are denied. No security in Nigeria. No development and history can't be taught in school. We need to be in charge of our resources, police army. Regionalism or outright separation. Yorubaland will be liberated from the long suffering injustice.

ah Aunty mi, ẹ má bínú Ma...... Actually like you said when we try to play peaceful with everybody, they take advantage of it and call us cowards. Anyways sha I'm hoping for the best out of this country soon.

Where can we get Yoruba keyboard?[/quote]Download SwiftKey keyboard on playstore, then download Yorùbá Keyboard...... If you activate both Yorùbá and English, the keyboard would help you put intonations when u type Yorùbá Though sometimes it does not get the intonation for some Words, but the thing try.....

Truthcat:
I didnt get your message Can you break this down to kindergarten level?

OK Bro, what I was trying to say is that since it's like people won't stop being tribal, I decided to address my Yorùbá guys that things weren't always like this with us getting tribal at every slight chance like how they do on nairaland. And I also told them there's no need hating on any tribe in our region in as much we dey succeed equally, instead we should appreciate their efforts in complementing the development of our region...... U don understand ba?

I don't even know what to say...... Can't we just live in peace?..... Abeg Yorùbá guys mona calm down, we no dey do all these tribal things before, mona no start dey involve in nonsense. As much as I know, we're a very hardworking tribe and any tribe doing equally well in any of of our states is only complimenting our efforts and must be appreciated.

If you see the one for my workshop, e bad die and the man been survive. We just comot the engine, gear box, and other useful parts.

seuncyrus:
Hi bro, can you please confirm if this is true, there's no mention of this on the lmu site.

Good Morning Bro, the picture on the screen the OP shared about the news is from one of our conference centers in school, so they should soon put it on the University's website as it would be taking effect from 2018 /2019 session starting in August . I would still ask my Bro or friends for more clarification as I'm currently not in school since I'm on IT.

Ademat7:
pls explain d tuition​ free clause

I don't know the breakdown for Agricultural sciences courses, but you can check the University's website @ lmu. edu.ng for details. I would also try and help you get it Bro.

Some Nigerians are really insatiable considering some comments here.

Ellabae:
The man try jare but I think he knew the population in those departments are few.

Agricultural sciences courses have sufficient number of students now in Landmark University

COvo:
Just Tuition! "You'll still pay other components of the school fees " still not free. Next post please

Tuition covers the greater percentage of our school fees in Landmark University.

rheether:
As if that faculty can boast of 50 students��

Yes they can, College of agricultural sciences has a lot of students l'm a student so I know. Have a great night rest.

Oyo State own na Chief Moses Alake Adeyemo but I never see am or hin name for newspaper, TV since 2011.

paix:
NOPE. There's a switch inside the gearbox that turns ON the reverse light when you engage the car into reverse.

wow, thanks Bro, I'm into automobile repair but never knew about this. Would look into that right now. Thanks man.

Hehehehe..... I wan talk something about Medicine but girls go attack me, so maa just reserve my comment, but I sure say some guys go still code wetin I wan talk ..... But anyhow sha, as a Mechanical Engineering student, I never feel inferior to Medical students for my life. I dey happy sef say e no work when my momsy want maa go Ukraine study Medicine and Bowen University, thanks for giving me Biochemistry instead of medicine because una give me strong excuse of not studying Medicine . I was made for Engineering and the fulfillment I get studying my course gives me so much Joy to the extent that courses like Control systems, machine design etc give me joy..... Thumbs up to all my Engineering fellows..... If you love wetin you dey do, you no go feel inferior to anybody.

3kay945:
My headlight is not sharp enough, what could be the problem

Clean the glass covering it and if that's not the problem, get a new bulb.

paix:
It's the reverse light switch in the gearbox that is faulty, needs replacement.

You meant fuse box ba

Feraz:
Beautiful answer. While an undergraduate, I was thinking that the semester holidays we do have would be useful if one can gain a bit of experience but when you try meeting some of these persons/firms to work without pay, you are told there's no opening for you. Also, factor in this four years post graduate work experience before you can be certified an Engineer.

I really do wish the Engineering practice in Nigeria can change. At least, we'd be doing so many things ourselves without involving foreigners most times. As for NSE, I am sorry to say but I really do not see that happening.

LOL! I never really liked it.

Maybe my bias for the lecturer made me hate it.

Some Lecturers dey make pesin hate some kind courses I swear .... One day I pray our profession in this country would enjoy what our counterparts in the world are enjoying.

Feraz:
Hmmm! I like your answer. The problem stems from the fact that the regulatory bodies for Engineering are performing below par. I am underemployed, yet, I get mails from NSE and COREN about paying close to N200, 000 for a seminar which will take place in far away Abuja. How much more undergraduates? I have never seen anything like 'FREE ONE MONTH TRAINING FOR GRADUATE ENGINEERS'. They do not mind whatever happens as long as dues are paid. Now, see the issue of Fashola handling ministries that is made up of mostly Engineers but what did these bodies do? Nothing. Of course, someone would say management/administration has nothing to do with your course of study but can you try that in LAW schools or can you try that with the medical body? Imagine an Audu Ogbeh being a minister of health or a Barth Nnaji being an AGF. Honestly, I have long given up on these regulatory bodies. How about SON? See eh, many things are upside down and like someone once told me here - https://www.nairaland.com/1951333/nigerian-engineer-oil-gas-career - it really has to start from the top. I cry whenever Explorers put up threads showing what my counterparts the world over are doing, their advancements in these Engineering fields but what can I do much? Power is virtually nonexistent, policies are inconsistent etc. I am only managing my small designs I know how to do and think up concepts for the future and how it impacts the populace. If it were possible to edit what I wrote in the link, I'd have done that as someone becomes knowledgeable as he ages.

It's sad that people think Engineers are useless or that they do not stay awake for most of the hours. Try working in a firm that involves you thinking about a solution to a problem that has completely shut down production and see if it is not equivalent to doctors who are on calls for longer hours? I really understand the OP's frustration as one becomes angry at the system and the regulatory bodies while staying longer in a place that adds little or no value to your productivity. This is not to undermine the efforts of the doctors as that is what I probably would have specialized in if I was not interested in Engineering.

Oh, there is a saying that if a doctor makes a mistake, a life is lost; if an engineer does, many lives are lost but if a teacher does, generations are lost (of which the teaching profession is one of the most neglected in this country and we are really seeing the effects).

I hated Control System too. But my favourite was Engineering Drawing and Strength of Materials. All these courses that you mentioned, been thinking of going back to refresh my memory on them again.

Interesting thesis you have there. I admire that.

Wow we different o.... Control systems was mad but I somehow loved it

mekyno777:
@SoldierBoy1
fellow, relax. I have an idea or a solution.
1, pls ask him which proffession produced all the medical instruments/machines/equipment he uses, that make his work so easy.
2, Can they accept u ppl exchange/ interchange 2 courses for fun?
I mean, u offer 2 of his 2yr courses (in addition to ur normal yr engr'g courses) and while he does 2 of ur 2 engr'g courses (plus his normal med courses).
Pls make sure u give him any of these 2: fluid analysis, machine design, tech drawing, engr'g maths and (one 2yr maths u go solve d whole course without seeing figure/number; it has real analysis as well).
Forget matter and enjoy ur world na our unorganise NSE keep us for this condition

My Engg fellow u funny I swear, but na true you talk...... Those courses you mention no be beans I swear..... Na NSE no carry our matter for head WELL but still we go enjoy ourselves with our God given ability as Engineers .

seunH:
Sir, you summarize all what I wanted to say, for a start I'm a 500 level vet medical student and our allowance are also higher, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't give honor to whom honor is due. Sir, I personally have a deep and profound respect for Engineers, sincerely it is not easy. From experience so far, you can survive in medical school (I studied Human Anatomy in my first degree) if you have a photographic memory, maybe have some little glitches in surgery but I doubt if photographic memory can help you in engineering. For example, I was speaking to an engineering student and he was giving me an instance of the nature of their questions. He said in some courses, they just give the questions, NO formula, you would have to think of the appropriate formula to use, derive the formula yourself before finally applying it to solve the question, Sir a dullard cannot do the above rather it takes someone with a high IQ. That is why I will always duff my hat for a 1st class engineering student. Furthermore inasmuch as we need doctors we also need engineers even more (my opinon tho), How? The last time I went to the hospital for treatment without exaggerating was more than 5yrs ago, not that I didn't fall sick but most of us still have an idea of what to do if we fall sick it is only if serious we go to the hospital. But for engineering can you count the amount of times you've visited a mechanic, electrician or even a generator repairer just this year? I'm sure we know the answer. The OP has a lot of valid points up there. But the problem facing their profession is quackery and laziness from the part of their association. If laws can be put in place, for example: ensuring all mechanic workshops are duely registered and licensed and the requirement is at least one B Tech or B Engineering holder incharge of that place, imagine the demand we would see for engineers (especially now that cars are getting advanced by the day). Also for civil engineering, No Building or construction should be approved by the government without showing the list of those who would work on the site, which must include a licensed civil engineer (B Tech or B Engineering). And many more opportunities I believe engineers and engineering students can add. In conclusion if the above is done, the demand for engineers both Nysc and Post Nysc would increase and their dues would be duly paid. Thank you

I tell you Bro. I'm a Mechanical Engineering student in Landmark University, my Machine Design 3 lecturer Professor Adekoya, once gave us a real life problem and we were to come up with design solutions using knowledge of equations relating to strength, rigidity etc.... Like it was a brain tasking thing, the fulfillment those of us that came up with our own personal designs that were feasible felt was so great . Even in other courses like fluid dynamics and Aerodynamics, heat and mass transfer etc same thing applies. So an Engineer's life involves engaging your own brain In creating solutions. Just reading and storing large amount of information without the ability to think and design solutions in one's own head would take an engineering student no where. Engineering is a course that actively engages the brain. I respect Medicine o, but most of my friends studying Medicine are always making it sound like Engineering is inferior to Medicine when it comes to the use of the brain. Since there are not much to show for it in Nigeria, I guess that's why Engineering has been so ridiculed and e dey painful I swear.

As per the bolded, that's actually untrue because medical students pay up to 1.5million if not more for fees and everything. Bowen University also pays about 970k, landmark.... I don't know how much you folks pay but I'm sure it would be substantial.

I don't doubt you there are some intelligent people in your university, some of my top peers are attending privates and I know they have something upstairs.
Yet...... on an average, you folks have a very poor track record of winning national and international varsity competitions as well as individual challenges.


Also, if I'm being honest.............you lots are pampered, too pampered for this jungle oF a country

My Bro, for Covenant and Landmark, we never start Medicine and about competition, u know say categories dey and no be every thing we go go but the ones we don go,God dey help us wella, and ẹ̀gbọ́n mi Sir, I know say my own parents and a lot of my guys parent for Private Universities rich, but no be all of us be Ajebo sha..... Have a great night rest boss.

My Bro, well in Covenant and Landmark, we don't have medicine yet. About competitions, you know there are categories and it's not all we go for sef. And ẹ̀gbọ́n mi Sir, no be all of us be Ajebo. I agree say my parents rich o, but no be all of us be butty. Have a nice day Bro

Outofsync:
Nigga, you pay more than a million as school fees. OAU students don't pay up to a hundred thousand. Obviously your infrastructural facilities will be better.


When we talk about intellectual prowess however....

Bro actually I no dey up to 1million for Landmark, and I don't think any department in Covenant currently is up to one million . And when it comes to intellectual prowess, I believe it's left to an individual in as much the person is receiving standard education, but if any federal university student feels private universities like Landmark or Covenant are full of dumb students, then I think the person is only shooting himself in the leg, cos most of our Lecturers, including Professors are mostly products of Federal schools since our schools are still relatively young. I can confidently say sef that we have very standard theoretical and practical resources. There's an example of a guy from my department in my school who left and is presently in FUNAAB studying Mechanical Engineering. He was very sound academically while with us, and even in FUNAAB, he's still one of those leading his department. It's about the person Bro, I'm currently doing my IT,some of my bosses try to wash down my school, but by God's grace, my abilities have been proving them wrong and have succeeded in changing their perception about Private universities that not all are substandard. I can attest to the quality of Landmark, Covenant, ABUAD, Babcock, Bowen sha . Have a nice day Bro.

It's so funny how people like to say some kind of things about private universities when like in my school(Landmark University) and our sister university (Covenant) , we are given the best in terms of infrastructure...... There's no day maintenance guys don't work so far as you've filled in what you want them to do at the reception of your hall of residence. And it's just a very simple process sef, just write your complaints. Our schools are really doing well jare, so the hate showed by some is not just worth it.

Ok. I can get the meaning now, thanks
I know Itsekiri get yoruba &bini root from their names &maybe the way they speak.

Nigerian Singer, Omawunmi is from there too &her name sounds yoruba.

You're welcome Bro......... Yeah Omawumi means same thing as Omowumi

saintkeppy:
What's the meaning of Oritsefemi, Oritsejafor,

I bin get 1 fine babe that time for skool &her name was Tosan &My guys for Dept. back then in Skool were Abayomi &Yemi, when they told me they'all from Delta, I quickly identify them as Itsekiris &they Were suprise how i got to know.

They were part of the many warri friends I had, ready to crack ur ribs at any time.

It was real fun to be around them..

I be Yorùbá boy o, but I know say Oritsefemi na God loves me and Oritsejafor na God has made us to speak (like God don give us mouth now o)...... U know say some Yorubas dey use fo in place of soro to represent speak and I feel relate Oritse to Òrìṣà....... I love Itsekiris well because of how they language take close to our own..... E dey sweet me when they dey speak.
