Ok Na. You have typed almost five lines of words that have no correlation with the above topic because you're waiting to see "345 likes" beneath your comment.

YOU FAIL! Type sense next time, bruh.

If you complete your HND programme, apply to any university of your choice that offers the course through direct entry. By doing so, you will start from 300 level if you have your HND. If you have OND, you will start from 200 level. Best of luck.

That's why Nigeria is still backward, they carry grammar on their head like idiots,, English is not even Nigeria's mother language, that's why China will always be better than Nigeria, they love their mother tongue, it will be very difficult to see a Chinese forming English unless he/she needs it in a social situation, who grammar epp?

You did good but a word in english can have other meanings, An example is revert :
re·vert
verb
rəˈvərt/
1.
return to (a previous state, practice, topic, etc.).
"he reverted to his native language"
synonyms: return, go back, change back, default; More
2.
INDIAN
reply or respond to someone.
"we texted both Farah and Shirish, but neither of them reverted"
noun
ˈrēˌvərt/
1.
a person who has converted to the Islamic faith.

Most people who have this mentality of urs usually remain poor in life! If this post is not beneficial to u, it will be to many people who are eager to acquire knowledge. Some jobless broke people who are not even sure where their breakfast will come from tomorrow are all over the place celebrating someone who just got richer by 25M ,yet, there's nothing to celebrate in their own lives!
