Zeddicus: MR TCD..Well done o..I don't know if this is within your scope but how much would it cost you to send me a brand new 64GB PB fully setup with essential apps added for me to Abuja? Waiting for a reply.

Unfortunately sir, I don't sell playbooks. Maybe guys around here like Lexus and the rest that sell can help you with that.

newman10: So oga TCD just ignored my own query like that. Issokay o

haba, which query be dat na?

alstacs: Oga TCD and the great ones here, I'm yet to get an to my question!
Any ebook reader for .chm files?
Also Isilo reader is no longer listed in the blackberry android app. Please if you have it, kindly mail it to me.
The file explorer here sucks. My folder system is disrespected and all my files are just listed out in a long list. Any correct file explorer out there?

No chm reader as far as I know. Converted an android one and sideloaded didn't work.

For isilo, don't use it. Can't say much about it. Its availabe at goodereader playbook android app store.

File explorer I think we talked about it here before. Files and folders is a good file explorer app. Even allows you to transfer files via bluetooth between pb and your bb. File shield let's you hide files you don't want people to see.

Niiade: thank you sir, my recent download worked like a charm, but at first trail it said memory low, so i deleted all my music and got back 4.5gb, installation complete and gaming on the way sir. thank you very much. what apps have you used and u love. i found an app for autocad sef and it seems very good. lets talk sir thanks again my Oga

ah, apps . Fave apps plenty sha. Most are health related apps. But others include, fotostore pro Its just like photoshop on PB, tablet TV, Vevo, pacemaker (DJ app), ofcourse the adobe pdf reader, 10000 free ebooks app (get a lot of novels and books from here), currency converter, Nobex radio, score mobile, and ofcourse numerous games.

Niiade: free space is 1.8gb sir.

1.8GB is small o, the when sideloading the PB takes up 2times the space, I notice if I'm sideloading a 500MB file for example, during the process, 1GB will be used then at the end of the day, extra 500mb is recovered.

Seems it first copies a temporary file into the pb then installs finally deletes the temporary file.

For a 735MB file about 1.4GB will be used during the sideloading. Maybe that's why you're having problem.

I'm on OS 2.1 beta, I haven't upgraded yet, I'm in no hurry.
Have you tried sideloading another app? See if it works. Also what's you're free space available in your pb.

[quote author=Dr.Gboy]@TCD thank u very much for ur advice, u've really opened my eyes to see things which i culdn't see b4.
I agree with u, d syllabus for 100 level is somewhat similar to that of secondary school except for a little complexity.
Concerning d quota stuff, Unilag only admittd 104 medical students,merit-98 supplementary-6, but since d quota is 150 i guess successful diploma students will also fill in d space.
D only problem is that does d quota change yearly?[/quote]The quota is constant. It's what mdcn during their accreditation visit has adjudged to be the number of students your facilities can handle satisfactorily according to standards. It can only change if the medical school expands infrastructure wise to be able to accomodate more students and mdcn approves such.

So basically that quota doesn't change yearly or as often as you think.

Unilag's case yes, the remaining slots I think are being kept for direct entery candidates that'll join you in your 2nd year. Also wouldn't rule out them admitting lesser number of students to offset the overpopulation in the senior classes.

Chief Niiade, you can try this...transfer the file to your bb memory card, then use the bb file manager to rename it to modern combar.bar . Just clear the entire name u have there and type by yourself modern combat.bar. Then transfer back to your pc and sideload.

Niiade: TCD I searched hard o, after playing part two, but how did u download it that it never got broken. I have downloaded it twice with my BIS plan and on both occassion it completed the downloaded successfully and when sideloading I get that error sign, besides re you on 2.1 cus I hear some games won't work well yet on the update. I can get u links to more after m done with my list. But if you want any link let me know sir. Wish u dey lagos o,ehn

mehn my oga, thanks for the hard work. Me don dey find the game since. How do u download? Bb browser or playbook browser?. Broken files can happen when there is some kind of error during download especially at the tail end but the file still shows "download completed" but its damaged.

sheyma: What page pls, d chimex.minus site doesnt wanna download,i dnt mind if u post for me.

apparently minus has gone bonkers. They disabled download and uploads of all non audio/visual files. So guys sorry,just disregard any minus.com link posted here.

Have to seek for other alternatives.

Niiade: http://www.adrive.com/public/7QugCz.html thats the link and its heavy boss, let me know if it work for you oga TCD

I just downloaded and sideloaded it, works perfectly. I think your file got 'broken' while downloading. That's why you having this error.

I have attached a screenshot of the MDCN page showing accredited medical schools and their student quota. The link doesn't seem to agree with nairaland.If you want to still check out the link, just copy and paste into your browser.

Hope the spambot doesn't ban me for talking too much

..Okay guys, here it goes. Congratulations for having gotten admission into medical school, whether it's by merit, catchment, runs or your papa connections, doesn't matter. Nobody cares how you got in, What matters now is you have gotten in, it's going to be a tough and stressful journey lasting for 6-7-8 years (when you add strike)

What I'm going to mention here is just to try and shine a torch for you into the 'dark street' to at least make life alot easier. These are based on my personal experiences as well as those of colleagues both in my teaching hospital and other schools. Let me quickly add that I admire the doggedness and determination some of you have shown in your attempts to get into med school, I hope you get in eventually. I was very fortunate I wrote jamb only once had a great score and got admission into med school immediately after my SS3.

Now to your first year, you'll be doing science courses like mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology (depending on your school you might have more science courses) in addition, English and your Gst or GSS courses. Those science courses in addition to English are core courses. You'll do them for two semesters.

These courses are very easy to pass, but also easy to fail. It's very easy to be carried away in first year, new freedom, new school and friends some of them bouncing around campus as per 'med student ' and thinking they have arrived. This is the time some foolish clowns will now join cult and be feeling big thinking the world is at their feet. Quick advise here, medical school doesn't respect cult. Infact most of them fail, never make it past third year. The few ones I know who managed to pass did so by studying well like everybody else not intimidating lecturers, professors and doctors. Sorry for the digression, First year is the only time you'll use grades system (A-F) and a CGPA. So this is your opportunity to pack all the A's you want and get a good CGPA (I'll tell the importance of this later). From your year two, you cease to use that grading system rather we use the pass/fail system.

Let me tell you a secret, each university has a quota of medical students it's supposed to admit yearly. MDCN recently has been getting really serious about enforcing this rule. They have withdrawn accreditation from schools like uniport last year(though they later got it back). I think Uniport didn't admit any new medical students that year. Also uniben and igbenedion I think also had the same problem. Schools are struggling real hard to cut down on the number of students they have in each class in order to maintain accreditation. What medical schools do is over-enroll students more than their quota (obviously for the money) then impose very strict year one rules/targets to weed out alot of people

Some schools say, If you fail one core course you withdraw from medicine and/or change to another course, others maybe set the limit more than two you withdraw, some say have a GPA of 3.8 or so else you withdraw. I'm saying all this so you'll be on the look out and not be caught unawares. Just find out what the conditions are in your school for first year and try to adjust accordingly (if you're lucky your school might not have such strict policies, but know it's becoming common place now that MDCN is not smiling) . During my first year, it wasn't this strict although if you failed more than two core courses you'll be asked to withdraw. Now it's even more stringent. It'll be painful after struggling for admission to be told to withdraw just in year 1 (well, I guess it's not as painful as colleagues of mine told to withdraw at 500L after spending close to 6 years in med school ).

This is a link to MDCN website showing accredited medical schools and their quota[url] http://www.mdcnigeria.org/Approved quota for Medical and Dental Schoos.htm[/url] . Most schools have 50, 75, 100 student slots, UNN, Unimaid, Unilag and Ilorin have 150, UI has 180. If you check your school and you see quota is 100 students then you look at your class and count that you're 220, mehn, be very afraid because your school will look for scapegoats to cut down by all means. Note if you see 50, it simply means by MDCN rules your school is not supposed to "ideally" have more than 50 students in EVERY (bar repeat students I think?)

I repeat again, don't enter 'one chance' o, try your best to pass all your year 1 courses. They are really easy. Another secret, no lecturer will set for exam what he hasn't taught you. It's really rare I tell you. Don't mind all the horror stories they told you about UNI beforehand. Honestly I've asked around and most people have told me most lecturers set what they have taught or mentioned to go read or assignments given.(in the last professional exam I wrote, one of the essay questions was an assignment given to us, silly me I didn't do that assignment had to manufacture few things from residual knowledge lol) So you don't have to cram the whole text book. Read what your lecturer has taught in class, photocopy notes(from serious students) if you can't write and read them. Please please, READ your NOTES Well before you use textbook to consolidate. The lecturer is not a clown, he took time to prepare that note/lecture and knows why he's giving you. 85% of the time that's where your exams are coming from.

I had people in my first year who loved reading OP (off point) in textbooks. Read note, they won't, na to go they do oversabi. Needless to say, they didn't make it. Don't get me wrong o, not saying you shouldn't read texts, but do so with wisdom and let your notes guide you.

I don tire to type for now, hope my long rant makes sense to someone. Other guys who have passed and scaled through year 1 can add more to this or modify it. A contribution from Lagusta will also be of great help too. If I remember any more things for year 1 I'll add to this, right now my brain don freeze. Ask any questions I'll gladly clarify.

Moving on, for your year two you start pre-clinicals. .............to be continued ..

sheyma: Hey playbookers,can someone post a working link of 9mm hd

anything wrong with the links for 9mm posted before?

Niiade: http://www.adrive.com/public/7QugCz.html thats the link and its heavy boss, let me know if it work for you oga TCD

Thanks alot for this bro. How did you find this abeg?

Niiade: TCD i got it from a site called adrive i can forward the link to you if you want me to. i have downloaded it but when i try to side load it but it keeps says zip file bla bla bla and thats all when all i downloaded is a bar file and its shows it to be a bar file

Let me have the link please, been looking for that file for awhile now. Thanks

^^where did you get modern combat 3 bar file from?

Good to see you all here. I'm a Part IV (FInal) Mbbch in a federal uni down south, finishing very soon. To those of you just starting out, I wish you luck, I'll be back to give you pointers on things you should know and how to survive medical school. Wish someone had told me all these when I was starting out, life would been a whole lot easier.

doctokwus: There is an aluu in every nigerian.See pple now jubilating bc an armed robber has bn shot dead.There is sth called d use of excessive force& just like d aluu4,some pple av hastingly started praising d police for use of excessive force,just bc d dead can't speak.How many times av we heard d nigerian police shoot armed robbers in a an actual confrontation,how many times av dey bn called in d middle of an actual robbery& dey responded;but in dis case where there was no shoot out,their first thought is not to apprehend or maim,but to kill.D men were just said to b running away when a supposedly trained policeman,shot one of dem dead,of course dey wudnt boda about d rest bc dey see d killing of dis one as a thing of glory& praise.Left to some here,if dey had d opportunity,dey wud av burnt dis man,yet condemn d aluu people;for me,d supporters of dis shoot to kill are no different frm d aluu murderers!

maybe the police should have used pankere (cane) to apprehend the armed with SMG robber. Please sir why don't you Join the Police force so you can help them apprehend dare devil armed bandits with koboko alone. Its very easy to sit in your house and misyarn abi? Try be the one holding the gun and facing the armed robbers.

kokosheen: I don't think you've been in situations where a lot of human blood has thickened, because the smell is something else and I'm not talking about blood in hospitals (hospitals generally have disinfectant smell so won't notice the blood smell).

Ones elation at the police getting the bad guys would quickly evaporate after a few days, especially if you come home late at night and need to pick up your suitcase or laptop bag from the back of your vehicle, the picture of a bullet ridden body dropping blood over the rug would always play in your mind.

These memories would remain strong, which is what I'm talking about. Anyways, that's my opinion sha, we're all different so what doesn't go down with me, might actually be your fancy

brother its nothing a good washout with disinfectant and maybe colour bleach won't fix. Your car will be as good as new, and the robber is still as dead as stone. Infact for effect you can buy new car spray perfumes and give your car that nice wonderful smell.

kokosheen: I don't know how happy the owner of the SUV would feel about the police using his vehicle as a hearse .

Before he can get the blood and that blood smell off the car, serious work. Most likely the vehicle would be on nairaland auto section next week at one crazy giveaway price.

Good job to the Muthar-fricking Police (I still hate'em though)...

don't be too quick to assume. After a useless guy pointed a scary looking machine gun at you, threatens your life ,physically assaulted you, dispossessed you of 20K and your phones, insults you, slaps you on the face like you're vermin, throws you on the ground like an ant, forces you car keys away from you and forcefully takes away your multi-million naira SUV. Mehn, seeing the basterd dead in your boot can only bring you satisfaction and joy.

ifyalways: If the motive was to "catch" the thief, why not aim @ the legs or thighs to stop him?why pump metals into his chest ?

you cannot see the SMG that thief is holding abi? While you're aiming at his leg and thighs sure he'll be aiming for your fingers and toes right? Jeez. Some people sef, you think this is primary 6 'police and thief' game?

collinsfbi: The car is good but expensive to maintain in the sense that the parts are a bit costly being America production but available anytime anyday @ladipo market, if you will like to have one pls go for the 4plugs because mine is V6 though i enjoy it when on the road but consume fuel like normal V6, no toyota/honda car with 4plugs can withstand it but the V6 is the common ones in the market today and it requires proper maintenance and regular servicing. I bought it in naija around 700k but it should be a bit lesser than that now.

Gbamm over n out

Thanks for your response. I'm confused, you say yours is a v6 but in your pic I can only count 4 plugs.. Not an auto expert so more knowledgeable guys can help me clarify here, are there v6 engines with 3 plugs?

[quote author=Don4life][/quote]your playbook doesn't come up except when connected to power source? Does it boot up fully? What happens when it comes on and you unplug the power?

Lexusgs430: Can sideloaded whatsapp on the playbook only work via wifi? Msn + yahoo sideloaded seems to work fine via 3G.

had this same issue too, the whatsapp just wouldn't connect via bridge but does when on wifi. I just abandoned the stuff. New versions of what's app have come out since then though, maybe it's time to try again.

@collinsfbi, please where did you buy this car? Cotonu or naija? How much does it cost? How has it served you so far as regards maintainance, fuel economy ? Are spare parts cheap and readily available? I'm looking to buy the same 323, so i'd like your opinion seeing as you're a user yourself. Thanks
