When people have no money. They get a job.

Hello DarkPheonix,

Well done and congratulations on your result. You did great. Always thank God in everything .

I am not so surprised about your Parents kicking against UNIMAID, it's normal given the prevailing circumstances in the country.

No one University is perfect. There are some schools where connections and money run the affairs viz: LAUTECH, UNIJOS, ABU, UNILAG, LASU and UI (covertly).

Now I would pick each of these schools(I know a bit about each one) and talk about them briefly to buttress.

LAUTECH: I was at Ogbomoso some seven years ago for Predegree. When admission time came I began seeing different funny things at the students affairs, because that's where the office of the admissions officer is located. You see several vehicles littered across the car lot that caters for the students affairs building. Pot-bellied lecturers going in and out. Students milling around in their numbers.

I saw deserving students even of Oyo and Osun origin shuffled to funny departments that had no correlation whatsoever with what they applied for from the onset.

I myself was offered crop and environmental protection in lieu of Medicine, when I complained the admissions officer told me blankly "Go and study Medicine in your father's state (Ondo)". I knew someone who applied for Medicine and was offered Fine and Applied art.

People getting whisked from Computer Engineering to Accounting Technology, Marketing and Transport Management. While some students who, if their scores were subtracted from mine, there would still be more than 100 difference got in for Medicine, Nursing and MLS.

LAUTECH was so porous (I don't know about now). I even helped a friend who failed his test that time. I knew one of the student leaders at that time, I explained, he told me to bring 20/25k, (I can't remember which) for upgrade. When the results and admission was released, my guy did well and was even offered Human Anatomy.

UNIJOS: I considered applying here for Dental Surgery but had to take two steps back when I started observing irregularities in their admissions process; I followed UNIJOS aspirants page on Facebook. I saw several people who merited the courses they applied for being offered something totally different. It's bewildering, really.

I have this colleague in Medicine who came from Jos to ABU. He was offered LARIS (Library and Archival Studies) in place of Medicine. Funny enough, a friend of his who he scored more than got Medicine. That school's modalities still baffles me, a lot.

ABU: ABU also has her own fair share of illogicalities, several if you asked me. How else, would one explain why someone with 250 average got Medicine and someone with 286 average was offered Physiology(with connection; I learnt about this much later). Moving a dude I know from Nursing all the way to Home Economics.

ABU also has SBRS (School of Basic and Remedial studies) students (from the 19 Northern states) to satisfy. It's complicated, honestly.

"You have to score the highest from your non-catchment state to be eligible for competitive courses", that statement only but goes so far.

I would say ABU is a matter of God's grace. A friend told me to, quoting him, "Make sure you know somebody. You know those abokis are always against Southerners blah, blah, blah". Well, I got in on the first list. I knew only God.

UNILAG:At Akoka, people pay millions to get into Medicine/Dental Surgery. Their admissions cut off mark list is more or less them fulfilling "Social righteousness" so to say.

Sure, some people would get in on merit, but how many? Is it with their style of Post UTME that seems the devil himself descended to design the model?.

Infact, I quizzed a friend who studies Medicine there now on how he prepared for their PUTME. He told me he had to buy a JAMB Government past question and several types of Current affairs pamphlets just to ace their exam.

Laudable effort, I agree. However, can you just imagine?

How about their Foundation/Diploma students? You know how much they pay? And there one is, spending at most N10,000(including registration in cafes for UTME and PUTME). One can't possibly expect them to admit one over them.

I have a neighbor whose father had to part with N700,000 for him to get a space in Law. On transit to 200L, I think they reviewed his results and found him missing Yoruba, he losed his admission. Baba took the UTME again and is currently in part 3 studying English Language. UNILAG is money and connection for the most part, if one has any of those, one is by all means good to go.

LASU: A friend's friend(who comes from Ogun State) applied there for Medicine some two years ago and heard nothing from that school up till date. He had 300+ at that time. Today, that fellow is now at Usman Danfodio University, Sokoto studying Medicine.

UI: University of Ibadan is by far the most transparent federal University in Nigeria. If you merit your admission, there's no witch or villager that would usurp what the almighty has perfected.

However, the competition. It is at UI you see Olympiad winners, Best Students at NECO and WAEC, people who have experience with A-Levels. This is where majority of them come. However, this is not to scare you, if it's Dental Surgery/Medicine at UI you want, you can by all means get it.

Now, only a few persons know UI past questions get leaked. How else can one explain a person scoring 92 in UI Post UTME. You can't just up and achieve that feat, it's the University of Ibadan.

I have a hunch those tutorial guys(Team tutors, Abadina; Apex Tutorials, Agbowo, et al.) have these questions. How do they get them? When their students go in for the PUTME, they tell them to memorize some of these questions, see, simple.

When it's time for their PUTME tutorials, I'd advice you be on campus for them, it would go a long way.

Also, the covertly aspect is this. Some students are given a sort of edge; a back door. If they fall couple of marks below the cut off mark, they are given a sort of waiver, provided the student is an offspring of and has thesame surname as a senior staff such as a Professor. I got to know about this at the UI UG-Admissions office last year when I went on enquiry for a friend.



Conclusively, all of these I have written are not an hallmark or a sort of yardstick and should not be regarded as one.

I do not know the innings of things that occur in various admissions offices across universities in Nigeria, all of the above are guesstimates.

Yet, we've got a God who can do the seemingly impossible. Do your part and do it very well.

My heart goes out to you all. It's hard, I know. You've come far and I applaud you.

Just pray, hope, follow your heart/intuition and do not be anxious for anything.

I wish you guys the very best.

Yours.


PS: Usman Danfodio recently began their Dental Surgery program. Not a lot of people know about this. You might want to do some findings.

na you and who still de otukpo?.
I'm in abj... I asked you in 2018 to come meet me at 50 space command giri or 176 g b check point gwags... You chickened out... I for use hands remove the 5 remaining strands of hair on your head

Lorenzop:
I just made it clear, I will not give out my strategy for free. It's very clear. Those who knows the value have not complained. You get the point now?

Lorenzop:
No sir...I make more than enough from my trades, I never asked no one for money. But if you want to learn my skill then you have to pay for it. It's not free. So please watch your comments

FrustratedLady:
widows are very lonely and desperate.
I can't count how many widows that have begged me for sex and are even willing to empty their accounts for me.
Widows are the easiest prey on Facebook, just promise them marriage and love and watch how they worship and lick you down to your feet.
I only add widows on my Facebook account, no karma or magun involved.

Crazeworld:
This is always the complain and nothing is getting better. The people in government are Nigerians like you and I. When they leave, young people will fill up the position and most likely, prove to be worse. Yahaya Bello is a good example.

The govt may be a huge part of the problem but what about everyone else?

We all are doing at least one thing wrong that's not helping our country. I don't expect anyone to agree with me though. We always like to think of ourselves as the smart guys that does things solely for our own benefit not minding the effect on others.

Politicians will loot funds meant for the public good, Contractors will inflate cost of executing a project, employers will treat employees like slaves,paying them money barely enough for their needs. Employees will steal from workplace or even plan a heist as seen recently with some bank robberies.

Lecturers will demand money or sex for grades, students will pay or cheat just to get the certificate. People will abuse position of trust. Even clerics are not left out. We've heard cases of pastors or church executives stealing from the church.

Talk about the youths? We are at the forefront. Can't do any honest dealing online. Even the physical dealings sef, you have to pick a location where you won't be robbed or killed. I can order for one million goods on AliExpress and sleep in peace but can't send 20,000 naira to a business person I've not met before on Nairaland because I fit don enter one chance. Honest Nigerians are even scared to disclose their identity when doing business online. Thanks to the activities of Hushpuppi, Invictus Obi, and many others not so popular.

Talk about systemic corruption, civil servants are are not left out. Defrauding the govt is common among them. One person taking salary of ten people under ghost employment. Won't sign documents if you don't give tips, security protocols won't let you see oga if you don't give tips. Private organizations are not left out too.

I was on the job vacancies thread during the NDLEA online recruitment. The reason why many people are interested in the job is because they believe one can make fast money from collecting scheduled bribes from the people they're meant to bring to justice. When they don't get the job (which many probably won't), they blame the politicians for job racketeering.

Report that a cleaner returned lost money to the owner and you'll hear things like na suffer go kee dis one, God don pick im call but the idiot hang up. These are the same set of people blaming the woes of the country on the politicians. What they lack is the opportunity to do worse than the politicians are currently doing.

The police officer you despise was once like you before taking up the job. The intimidating SARS officers didn't drop from the sky. If you have a soldier friend and you have a disagreement with someone, dat pesin don hear am cos you go use your soldier friend intimidate am.

Crazy country with self-righteous citizens!

Politicians won't obey traffic rules. Their security escort must clear the path so they can hurry along. Where are they in a hurry to? Even rich folks will request for private security from the police to guide their houses simply because they have the money. And when we leave the shores of this country, we behave ourselves out there. Something we've refused to do here.

Whenever you feel like laying blame on the politicians, think about what you're doing that's not helping Nigeria. Maybe if we all start doing this, our country will become better.

Not in this case, They should be given a full loaf of bread. You guys fired them in the middle of global recession. Am not sure if you are into business, but currently taxes are pretty damn high, or did I also mention $~450, which means imports are expensive. look around price of things keep increasing. I rather give my cousins that 300k with no interest than let them collect it from the FG.

The minimum should be 500k loan with no interest. let these people have some hope please. Get profits through taxations instead

sbrack:
Kindly share me the opportunity sir

DelilahMakinde:
Well let's thank our stars, it's NOT you

SpecialAgent:


So you used two full years out of thier lives and then the best you can think of is 300k loan as retirement benefit.

AM SURE the loan has interest too

DelilahMakinde:
what were you expecting dear...my voter's card ?

sbrack:
Thanks. I've tried out freelancing platforms but all efforts proved abortive.

DelilahMakinde:
Is that all ? Well I hope that's only 0.1% of your total net worth. Send me something nice... UBA 2078689549

Well, they have "similar" business with us. So we can see how much endusers are enduring when we Outbound to them
