This is coming from a nairalander with d Monika Adesegunfat


My name is Adesegun Fatusi, and I am the Provost of the College of Health Sciences, OAU, Ile-Ife. The case of the Aror Oghenerukewve has just been brought to my notice. To throw more light on her case, I will present the detaild fact here.

With a score of 320, her mark from UTME amounts to 80% (i.e. 320/400 x 100)
Her school cert results are: English A1 (=8 marks); Biology C4 (=5 marks); Chemistry B3 (=6 marks); Maths B3 (=6 marks); Physics C4 (=5 marks); Physics C4 (=5 marks); Further Maths B2 (=7marks), and Civic Educ A1 (=8 marks). That gives her 45 points, or 70.3% (i.e. 44/64x100)

So her overall average - as OAU did a combination of 50% mark from JAMB and 50% mark from School Cert - is: (80+70.3)=75.15% (which we rounded up to 75.2%).

With that mark, she ranks number 103 on the list of the students who took Medicine as first Choice.

The total admission quota for Medicine in OAU is 100, and that includes UTME and Direct Entry).

Clearly although Aror did well, her mark was NOT good enough to earn her admission on merit to read Medicine in Ife. Her mark of 75.2% is clearly below our cut-off mark (which was initially 78%, but we later reduced to 77.7%). Between her mark of 75.2% and 77.7%, by the way, there were 56 other candidates who scored higher than her but did not make the cut-off. For example, two people had 77.6%, two other people had 77.5%, four people had 77.4% etc.
Having presented the detailed facts about Aror's case, let me also help the many young Nigerians who may be accessing this site with more information on admission as I see a lot of misrepresentation, falsehood, and misunderstanding from the comments that various people had made on this case.

1. Admission into Nigerian Universities are considered on three grounds based on the nationally specified criteria (which I think ought to be reviewed now, by the way):
A. Merit =45% (This covers all candidates from the country - and it is automatic admission once you meet the cut-off mark)
B. Catchment = 35% (this refers to those in the states specified as catchment area for each University: For OAU, that is Lagos, Ogun, Ondo, Oyo, Osun and Ekiti)
C. Educationally disadvantaged states (ELDS)=20% = This refers to all the 19 Northern States, and Ebonyi, Rivers and Bayelsa.

So, someone from Delta such as Aror with 75.2% will not get admission into Medicine in OAU automatically as she is only considered on merit criterion and she does NOT meet the specified cut-off, but someone with the same mark from Kwara (which is in the North Central zone) may get automatic admission with the same mark based on the consideration of ELDS if 75.2% is the specified cut-off for ELDS for Medicine.

2. When a candidate chooses a highly competitive course like Medicine in a top-rated University like OAU, the competition is very intense. Believe it or not, many of the candidates that made our merit mark had an average of six A1s in school cert coupled with very high UTME mark (above 300). So, a candidate must carefully think over his choice of course and university. For example, if Aror had chosen ANY other course as her first choice for OAU, whe would have made the merit mark and gotten automatic admission, and she would have made the merit mark for Medicine on merit for most Nigerian universities too (but NOT OAU unfortunately).

3. Because of the high demand and competition for very limited spaces, the College of Health Sciences does not consider second choices as a general rule. OAU, for example, was only able to offer admission on UTME platform (Merit + Catchment + ELDS) to less than 3% of her applicants for Medicine, and less than 2% of her applicants for Nursing Science this year.

4. For cases like Aror where the candidadte has made a high mark but does not make the cut-off, what the candidate can sometimes do is to come to the University and try and see if he or she can be considered for other courses. A candidadte DOES NOT get considered automatically for a course she has not applied to in JAMB. A candidadte is ONLY automatically considered for the course he or she has applied for with respect to a particular university.

Unfortunately, Aror has left her case too late as all admission lists have been submitted for this year.

This is coming from a medical student.

I strongly believe that the topic for for this should be: PROVOST OF COLLEGE OF HEALTH SCIENCES, ADESEGUN FATUSI, IGNORANT OF BASIC MATHEMATICS.
Aror's average in the school cert exam was actually (50/80×100)= 78.1% and not 70.3% as stated above.
With a UTME score average of 80%, MRS. AROR OGHENERUKEWVE had a total average of 79.1%. (cutoff was 77.7%)
Therefore:
That woman deserves to to be admitted, and the provost, penalised.

Rubbish. Instead of signing pacts for better relationship with Russia...How does this one help prevent a very imminent 3rd World War? Abeg let Jan 20 reach jare.. Let Trump play the trumpet.

I percieve blindness

Akkord4gov:
I'm not a xtian,but I strongly agree with MFM. I'm yet to see d rationale in the usage of makeup. Som1 should pls explain it to me.

But you would glady use body cream or hair lotion or a soap to bathe.... you obviously need help, one that even MFM can't offer

Who is Ben Bruce?

Now I am worried about you. you sound like you are deeply rooted in suffering, obviously for lack of knowledge.

BlackSeptember:
oniranu teaching me English. You need a PEJ resetting slap

I am pretty impressed. Your English has improved considerably. I am definitely a great teacher. As for the slap, I surely need it, but not from a retard, not from you my dear.

BlackSeptember:
what nonsense is this born troway saying

It's born tHroway. Don't forget the "h" okay? And do not forget to put a question mark "?" whenever you ask a question alright? #Justsaying, Born Remain.

WalkerMichael:

@op I didn't read your post but thank God for your life. Na joblessness they make person watch porn I swear. If to say you they work for Indian company 7-7, to they carry phone sef go be world War 3:v

For a second I thought your name was "WankerMichael". Just for second.

4Qbitch:
It's exactly 9 years now since I said no to pornography, that demonic thing that's designed to destroy young men.

Looking back now, I just thank God because I know that nearly everyone wif an access to internet occasionally checks out porn videos.

How did I quit?

Simple. I made a strong vow to God. I just took out a piece of paper and wrote: I hereby vow to quit pornography for life. May God punish me instantly any day I consciously watch porn videos.

It's that simple. I DECIDED TO QUIT. If you still do porn, I pray u also DECIDE to quit. There's nothing good about porn.



Mods ejoor move this to FP to help save our youngsters that re under d devilish grip of pornography!

You surely sound punished. #Just Saying

Dandeson1:
Is that something to be proud of?? The man will probably end up Cummin b4 he enter the lady's puna/ni, she in turn will get frustrated with not getting sextisfied and in turn end up cheating with a nigga who don disvirgin since primary schl for toilet, the marriage will most likely be a sad one in the room, becos fasting and prayer nor dey work for things like this.

... That's none of your business and you still took time out to comment.
I am pretty sure that fasting and prayer would work on it sanity.

faith551:
How e take concern me?? or is being a virgin a guarantee she'll be a good wife??

Oh yes it does. She'll definitely be a good wife, and he a good husband
(yo seem to have forgotten the husband is a Virgin too all see advocates of gender inequality) #Just saying

BlackSeptember:
There is no adult Virgin in Nigeria.


How do we believe the couples story when we can't verify it



Modified: Soon the girl will come on nairaland and open a caption like;




Help my Husband last 33 seconds in bed

Did you take a second at least to stare at what you typed. Just because you and the entirety of your family lost your virginities at 12 or a little above it, and maybe you were born out of wedlock, doesn't make all adults nigerians non-virgins, it just makes all adults in your family horrible sex addicts. #Just thinking

APCHaram:
The catholic priesthood is nothing but a cult.

The only reason they don't allow their priests, monks and nuns to marry is so that all their wealth remains in the church.


A priest or nuns worldly possessions automatically transfers to the catholic church after his or her death.


The so-called proclamation of celibacy is in fact to keep the wealth within the catholic cult.
'the only reason"

In as much as they claim to be celibate, their major reason for this is because they are against the marriage institutions.

Nuns where allowed into the catholic fold as comfort women for the priests and monks.

Alter boys are meant to satisfy the elite of the catholic church since they prefer boys as you go up on the catholic ladder.

No priest, reverend, bishop, monk or nun has been excommunicated from the catholic church because they had sex but only where they are found out to be married.

You really are a foolish bloke.
You seem to be speaking from the alter of God himself.
About their worldly possessions being automatically transferred to the Catholic Church; would it have gone to you instead? I have this feeling that hunger speaks via u, so I just wouldn't blame u.

BlackSeptember:
Damn boring. No spice at all

I completely agree... I almost fell asleep while reading

MasterRahl:
Macbooks are manufactured in the US hence the citizens acquire it at cheap prices. Anyway, methinks there's no need for this comparison. Most white folks live fake lives. They live on credit that's why they rely heavily on the credit card system which they must pay back. We in naija use debit cards mostly hence your account must be well funded before you can make a purchase. My point is I believe in Nigeria. I'm not carried away by whatever happens in the West. Nigeria shall be great.

You certainly have no choice, from your tone it looks like you have never and will never cross the borders of ur GP zone. so why won't you believe in all that you have? you apparently, are a realist.

hungryboy:
Aunty, mbok stop this kind comparison,
Money were those Oyinbo spend on those Apple Macbooks fit pay annual tuition for 1000 students or more for our public universities,
We shall get there,
Na just time.

I was worried about the poor educational system, but now I think my worry has been superimposed by my grave concern for your state of mind."Najust time" Does it look like we getting better?

walcut:
i just like this guy for no reason.

I can't remember the topic being "the reason for liking or disliking this guy". You probably would dissolve the Nigerian team while liking trash.

Freiden:
Abeg ....e don do. Enough about this boy. Other stories no dey??

Now you see the problem. I am sure you would probably die unnoticed. The fellow's name is online... I doubt urs would be, even if you die and rise from the dead.

MrOlai:
Devil deception!

If you were created by God as a man, you CAN NEVER turn yourself to a woman! NEVER! Even the most sophisticated technology in the world would NEVER do that! Your male nature is in every part of your body down to the cells of your body. Just mere removal of penis/creation of a hole in place of penis and hormone therapy for breast development/others would NEVER make you a woman! It's all deception! It's actually a homosexuality in disguise!

Can a male-female transgender ovulate? Can a female-male transgender produce sperm? Absolutely NO! And many others that can NEVER happen!

It's high time the governments all over the world put a stop to this transgender rubbish! Homos/Gays may be taken to Psychiatric Hospitals!

From your post I am worried about the condition of your leftover reasoning... I guess u should be sent to the psychiatric hospital too for ur irrational writeup. It's an extremely free world we live in, and that is why your kind still has a good number of fingers, enough to type thrash on NL

Fairgodwin:
Odd World!
This Life!
Super Story!
All mixed in one - the world has gone berserk!

First, I must confess they're purely ugly looking women, with no iota of apologies please.

Please can they be able to 'mother' a child now that they're women? Please I need answers.

Yes they can

herzern:
Waitinq patiently for those Nairaland confused atheists.....lol....make i no shaa mention name

They will say the woman was paid to act......

You sound like god himself... miracle worker.
I wish it could be true, sincerely I do, but it simply can't be, at least not in this case

ThrillmeatRep:
Yes.
Because ur marriage CRASHED
Your separated husband attempted suicide!
You admitted both of you re drug pushers.
Since you re the breadwinner now. Hope pampers is still giving u free sample?

I smell haters nearby... We'd wait for your life long marriage and suicide-/drug- free 'survival' on earth (cos u, my dear, sound like a fellow who barely survives and exists in nature not 'living' as she simply is.

blacktwist:
too bad... but I will sincerely put the blame on the students.... those picx signifies that the students of that hostel is damn toooooo dirty... Awon olorun... dirty folks

Too dirty ke? If only, my dear, you could use u r brain just this once you'd realise that the pictures depict a leaky roof and other problems out of sheer mismanagement and abandonment...... Pathetically, they suffer from the reasoning of your kind.

[quote author=blacktwist post=47894860]... and what about those buckets on bed?[/quote

Do you suggest they place their mouths instead to keep their foams from getting soaked by the abundance of liquid blessing from the flood gates? [quote author=blacktwist post=47894860]... and what about those buckets on bed?[/quote

Times without number, we medical students would run to the deepest recesses of the rural areas to "reach out" to them. How then could we say - "Keep your environments clean, avoid stagnant water, wash your hands with soap and water... and etc".
I am so sure that the blood of these students could be harvested for the treatment of infectious diseases, notably HIV, EBOLA and LASSA, as their immune system would be as powerful as the 'hand of Midas' Any one it touches would be healed.

I am more worries about their families... imagine how their wives would look at them
