2rue: I salute una all fellow aspirant....if i shul guess, i wil say b4 d end of dis month! Let hope 4 d best sha

Hmmm... sounds better than mine. We are gonna look forward to urs... If it happens, fine! and if not, we can RE-GUESS.

Let the guessing game continue...

Not guessing my admission status though. O ti sure fun mi l'oruko Jesu Kristi, Oluwa Olorun Mi, eni ti mo gbeke le.

leyeg: WÀt a long period of time........,

Right. thats long. Except that, its not as long as we have all been waiting.

Remember... tick tick says the Clock. In no time, we will celebrate.

Guyz, permit me to guess "ITS 6 WEEKS TO WHEN D.E. LIST WILL BE PUBLISHED"... You guess not?

found out Direct Entry List is usually released at the end of the year (early December).... Say 60days from today. We all prefer it being earlier than that abi?

Tick Tick says the clock... In no time twill be here.

We have waited this long, longing for d list... Close ur eyes, take a deep breadth... Smile! You see... your name is on the list.

*winks

Now residing in Ife... Information shouldnt be my problem now.

and yes, time to start lobbying for the D.E. admission on a full scale...

Guyz, come and over and do thesame.
God Bless Us All.

"Before success comes in any man's life, he's sure to meet with much temporary defeat and, perhaps some failures. When defeat overtakes a man, the easiest and the most logical thing to do is to quit. That's exactly what the majority of men do."-- Napoleon Hil

When things go wrong as they sometimes will;
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill;
When the funds are low, and the debts are
high
And you want to smile, but have to sigh;
When care is pressing you down a bit-
Rest if you must, but do not quit.
Success is failure turned inside out;
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt;
And you can never tell how close you are
It may be near when it seems so far;
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit-
It's when things go wrong that you must not
quit.

But you can also redefine your priorities and start again. Do one other thing while trying okay?

Olami90: pls if dia is any1 dt applied to Faculty of Science,kindly signify....i heard they are abt to move it to d Faculty 4 selection.letz drop our comments nd kip d thread lively.I fink D.E list wunt b out earlier than Nov..

Like you know, I applied to Faculty of Science too. You are right about it being by His Grace, there is a lot of competition for limited spaces and it is this Grace that will put us through.

I also understand why OAU will want to consider Advanced Level (e.g. ICAN, IJMB) before ND and I guess everyone here does too. Most OAU programmes run for 4years. It suits them to accept ND to 200L of a 5yr programme than to accept ND into Part 2 of a 4year programme. The programme I applied for, Applied Geophysics, requires A'Level or HND (Not ND) for Direct Entry.

But, like you said, we know how things work in Nigeria, nothing is impossible! Talk to God, then someone, and take steps, then you can sit back and wait your name appear.

Did I just say sit back? Cmmon Get Up! Sit back kini? Abi go spread mat for someone's office.

Goodluck We All.

Okeke_Onyi: Please be informed that the post utme result for 2012/2013 academic session for federal school of surveyring Oyo is out.you can check the result at the school notice board or an sms would be sent to you.good luck!

Pls I applied for PD. How is their screening like Can u pls drop ur fone?

Guyz... I got admitted to UN's Regional Centre for Training in Aerospace Surveys located inside OAU Campus for a PGD in Geoinformation Technology... but Applied Geophysics with OAU gan gan still on my mind (wanna switch profession ni)...

Faith is working...
We will all smile at the end. Every single person here... You nau.

(Just passing by)...

The wait is sickening... but can never break us.

Someone needs to hit this thread a crescendo.

(has left)...

daarworld: d last time i went there, believe me i saw the blacklisted schls.

I didnt say OAU did not blacklist some schools please... We are only tryna discuss what is behind it. If you have the blacklist post it here please

Here is what I make of these:
1. This was 2003, culdnt have been Life Blacklisting
2. It was just a media speculation
3. The spokesman went on to deny it.
4. I dont know what else to think.

______________________
The university authorities
have taken this measure to
avoid the July 10, 1999 cult
war at the institution in
which seven students were
killed.
Students, the sources added,
have formed anti-cult groups
to ensure that adequate
monitoring of their
colleagues within the
campus were carried out
while the institution's
security network "had been
up to task."
Another employee of the
institution who preferred
anonymity explained that
although the decision would
affect some innocent
candidates, "it is better to
save the whole lot of our
students from being
contaminated by these evil-
minded, wicked, ungodly,
lazy and bad groups."
He disclosed that few months
ago, one of these cult groups
wrote to the university's
Vice-Chancellor, Professor
Rogers Makanjuola, warning
him against his stand on
cultism "but upon
investigation, we realised
that the letter did not come
from our students here but
from outside."
When The Guardian
contacted the university
spokesman, Femi Afolabi, he
said the Senate has "not
come up actually with such
decision."
"How did you get that
information? Maybe the VC
will be able to talk on this,
but I don't really know
anything as regards what
you're saying", he said.

BLACKLIST? Seriously? What do you know about it?
If it exists, its not for academic reasons.
Here is an extract of what I found on a Guardian Newspaper of 2003
________________________

T O curb the menace of
cultism, authorities of the
Obafemi Awolowo
University (OAU) Ile-Ife have
excluded candidates from
tertiary institutions believed
to be cultism-prone from
their admission lists, The
Guardian has learnt.
According to sources,
majority of the rejected
candidates were those
seeking direct entry
admission and those willing
to enrol in the university
from other institutions.
Some of the affected schools
included Osun State
Polytechnic, Iree; Osun State
College of Technology, Esa-
Oke; Kwara State
Polytechnic, Ilorin; Ambrose
Alli University, Ekpoma;
Lagos State University
(LASU) and University of
Ilorin (UNILORIN).
Besides, majority of the
higher institutions from the
South-South and South-East
have been "blacklisted" by
the university authorities,
sources at OAU said
"The admission committee,
headed by a professor was
not even considering
candidates from those
institutions.
"OAU is respectable and
known as a citadel of
learning and today, you can
bear me witness that the
institution is one of the most
cultism-free in the country",
he said.

Yeah there is a STRIKE but its non academic. NASU members at OAU
have begun an indefinite strike
over the alleged non-
implementation of the 15 per
cent CONTISS salary, poor
welfare and salary increment,
among other demands.

FACTS TIME
Somethings will affect admission this year. Use you good judgement given this Quotes from the THE WHITE PAPER ON THE VISITATION PANEL TO OAU, May 2012

"The NUC Panel observed that the
University failed to abide by NUC
carrying capacity in
the admission process by
admitting students in excess of
its approved quota and this
continues to have adverse impact
on infrastructures, municipal
services and quality of
learning."

RECOMMENDATIONS
(i) The University should strictly
comply with the carrying
capacity and admission
quota as prescribed by the NUC.
(ii) The NUC should strictly
enforce the carrying capacity of
the University.
Comment
The Visitor accepts
recommendations (i) and (ii).

New information at the 2012 Direct Entry e-Registration Portal has it that Registration now ends on Tuesday, July 10, 2012.... This is good news for those who didnt register on time. I saw it coming... becoming JAMB's routine.

Please I want you all to email jamb and clamour for statistics of the Direct Entry applicants to various institution be released to us on their website just as it was with the UTME. It will feed our hunger, our waiting. There is strenght in numbers. de2012.info@jamb.gov.ng is the address.

Olami90: ursa......does dt mean d photocopy green form we filled is nt valid??are we gonna fil d new one

No! Simply.

Abi u no fill am correctly?

Guyz...

Here is what I've found out so far.
1. There is nothing like "purchase of green form"... it is free

2. The new green form is kinda new... neat, printed unlike the Fuckedup photocopied ones that were available 2-3weeks ago (U know what I mean olammy90), but all thesame content.

3. Even the new green form is submitted at the admissions office... I suppose they will be the ones to forward it to various departments just like I thought before.

4. Submission of transcript is still on going, and to the best of the knowledge of officers at Registry, There is no closing date.... aside, They only just started First Semester Exams and admission process doesnt end until when tge academic session ends (say September).

5. The officers at the registry wont give their mobile no. as "Students abuse it". and I can understand why. The best way to confirm if your transcript was received at OAU is to confirm if it was sent in the first place from your school.

6. Forgot to ask about the first list stuff, but from my point of view... It should not be later than 1st week of October, giving JAMB is gaining grounds more and more about uniform academic calenders in Nigerian Universities (and they are strict about it this time). For example, it was JAMB that directed all Universities to conduct post UTME before June 27 (and as you can see, they are all complying).

7. Ultimately, there is nothing like Post DE.... to my own delight. The battlefield for admission should be level. Post DE is an avenue to sideline poor me with a merit.

8. OAU is Cool, in fact, already I'm a Great Ife Student. How about you? Faith works.

And oh! not only that, also saw "purchase the form" and in some other places there are CRAZY "post DE form".... etc
