I graduated from sec. school in July, got admission in November to study a well respected course in the Premier University, in a particular year. Unfortunately, I had to defer it for a year due to uncontrollable circumstances. I'm still in school now tho'.

yoged: 2002 to 2007. Just because of having F9 in math from Waec during period . Maths suffer me oooooo. Thunder fire that subject. Did rems in 2003 in unilorin, was given plant biology. Rejected it... But during that period, was working and i made millions of money. Ended up studing Chemistry in Unilorin. Did MAT101=F, MAT102=F. Passed both in 200l had E and B respectively. Did Mat201=F, mat205=B. Did Mat201 in 300L and had E........ I hate Mathematics

Just a year. That is the beauty of writing UME while in secondary school. My first UME was in SSS3 which I passed with ease,but Almighty OAU denied me admission to study accounting after scoring high in the post UME too...I just quickly changed strategy and bid OAU farewell and UNILAG /LASU became my school of choice in the next UME and UNILAG like oau denied me admission even after scoring high and just a little short off the cutoff mark. Then when hope was almost lost,I just stumbled upon a thread on nairaland back then titled "LASU RELEASES 3RD AND FINAL .ADMISSION LIST...didn't even know when the first list was released because I never took the school serious thinking schools don't admit second choice candidates. I just begged the op to help check the list for my name and the next day he just congratulated me! And thus my habit of constantly perambulating online saved me an extra year at home....Now in 400level and would've graduated August if not for the strike....lest I forget ,am very happy I didn't get to study accounting

7 years. Currently got in, only to discover I don't need a university education. The whole thing is a complete waste of time for me. Would've dropped out if not for pressure from home.

Bros, we're on thesame page. Even with qualification, funds can be a stumbling block. Some even have the funds but not the qualification.

Ziggyzito: few would be selected cos it's just those few peeps who aced it. ..if you did, you would have been there.
are you saying the over 15million Jambites are all dummies? Be realistic, I've met some Jambites That're even better than those in the uni, things should not be like this, going into the uni should not involve all these processes, are you indirectly saying those who naturally can't catch up fast deserve to be uneducated?
