@BIGBUGBEN, I SEE YOU AS A MATURE MIND AND INTELLIGENT SOMEONE. SO I DON'T EXPECT YOU TO INSULT ANYBODY ON THIS FORUM. IT TAKES THE GRACE OF ALLAH FOR ANYBODY TO SCORE 50% OR ABOVE IN THE UNILORIN POST JAMB. THE FAILURE OF THE EXAM IS NOT OWING TO BEING STUPID OF FOOL. BUT THERE ARE ARE LOT OF OTHER FACTORS RESPOSIBLE FOR THAT. ANYWAY I FEEL FOR THOSE THAT SCORE <50% AND I WISH OTHERS BEST OF GOOD NEWS AS WE AWAIT THE LIST NEXT WEEK.

BLACKSNIP:

Big_ben>>>> UNILORIN ADMISSION GISTs:
> Abt 70% Space on d Admission First List is scheduled 4 Candidates on Merit Basis. Therefore you hav to calculate your MERIT POINTS based on your JAMB SCORE, O'LEVEL RESULT & POST-UTME RESULT 2 determine if u are qualified 2 be on MERIT FIRST LIST or not.
The Calculation goes thus= 30% 4 Jamb Score, 30% 4 O'level & 40% 4 Post-Jamb.
> JAMB %- jamb score divide by 400 multiply by 30. e.g (255/400) * 30 = 19.13POINTS,
> O'level %- grade point for your 5 best relevant subject divide by total obtainable point which is 25points multiply by 30. E.g. (15/25) * 30 = 18POINTS. Note: C6, C5, C4= 3points, B3, B2= 4points & A1= 5points.
> Post-UTME %= your post-utme score divide by 100 multiply by 40. e.g (70/100) * 40 = 28POINTS.
Sum up all d 3 Results rounded up to 2 significant fig. i.e. 19.13 + 18 + 28 = 65.13%.
> Therefore d higher your point, the higher your chance of being admitted especially to a highly competitive department. 60% & above are qualified to be on MERIT List.
Gists ar frm a reliable end.

My advice to you is that you should have faith in ALLAH. Then walk to any senior lecturer in the department of your choice, even if possible, the HOD, and explain your plight to him/her. You might be luck to get a favour. All the best to all of us.

Are you yet to sit for the exam? now you need to pray hard so that you don't fall a victim of computer errors like I did. What do I mean by this? There are some questions that have same options as answer. For example. take this:

Question: Which of the following is the correct spelling:

A. Continuous

B. Continuous

C. Contenious

D. Continuous

I had about six of this type in my own case.

big_bug_ben:


guy, i surf d web wif google to confirm dis. i finally saw dat dis it is properly said dat "u cant eat your cake & have it, in sum cases u add u can't hav your cake & eat it too @ d back; just like when a teenage girl got pregrant, dat means she has eaten her cake & can't hav it & also even if she is opportune to hav it @ dis point she can't eat it too, so u 'u can't hav your cake & eat it' can't stand alone & besides it's nt general accepted. Pls click below to confirm my point.
http://www.wsu.edu/~brians/errors/eatcake.html
And dat of Quarreling is also wrong, d right one is wit double R & double L, d one wit single L is an American eng bt we us British's here.

I went through your posted link and I discovered this:
"The most popular form of this saying—“You can’t have your cake and eat it too”— confuses many people because[b] they mistakenly suppose [/b]the word “have” means “eat,” as in “Have a piece of cake for dessert.” A more logical version of this saying is “You can’t eat your cake and have it too,” meaning that if you eat your cake you won’t have it any more. The point is that if you eat your cake right now you won’t have it to eat later. “Have” means “possess” in this context, not “eat.”

Take note if the bold words and statements above. Your examiners are not interested in what is but what out to be

May God help us.

big_bug_ben:

thx taosola, this wil bring us to d conclusion dat for any cheap looking question u see, it demands a multiple thought. i believe u must hav seen sumthing dat would hav made u said that bt in my dictionary here it says "have your cake & eat it", so i will be very wrong to say "u can't have your cake & eat it" & besides i've seen dis qouatation in several advance write-ups, could u pls confirm very well?.thx

You are very correct my friend. I still instist that the correct idiom is "you can't have your cake and eat it." If you look at the cambrige dictionary of idioms where examples are given, then you will see a typical example that says:

"You can't have your cake and eat it. If you want better local services, you have to pay more tax."

I have also come across the correct use of this idiom in many WAEC and JAMB questions.

The same thing is applicable to "birds of a feather that flock togher"
