Priceless Advice For Unilag Undergraduate Aspirants From A 200L Student Of Computer Science
The article you are about to read below is not written by me but By Thompson Jotham a.k.a Bros J.
Present 100L/direct entry freshers of Unilag that really followed my blog during the last admission process will know who Bros J is.
He was always in the comment section of every post answering question/inquiries from prospective students. He is a 200L student of computer science, Unilag.
Below is what he sent to me, please read it well. It’s always good and encouraging when you hear from people who are already in the position you are aspiring to be. He is a present Unilag student.
I will do a summary of the lessons in his post at the end but first read below…
It a great pleasure and a dream coming true to be given the opportunity to advice university aspirant.
Am not a type of person that floods a page with stories so as nt 2 piss off people who don’t like reading long passageHOW DID I COME ABOUT THIS BLOG(UnilagAdmissionGuide.com)?
i finished secondary sch. 2012. Den i pickd up a jamb form chose the most popular sch unilag without lookn 2ru the brochure(no guidance),i wrote the post jamb i ws admitd,during the screening i was screen out bcos f NO FUTHERMATHS(despite the conectn)the folowing year i pickd jamb form and typed unilag requirement via google then this site appeared and ever since it has been helping me and now am a student of UNILAG 200L computer sci.*REASON FOR THIS POST
Some aspirants read anyhow course ( eg. Fencing and wiring,mosquito sci,library sci e.t.c..i called them anyhw courses because in Nigeria they are basically useless, well not totally useless though if it’s ur own area and you gat the passion for it) some aspirants just want to enter school and don’t want to stay at home,or maybe because their mate are already in school..No matter how fast you are, EVERYBODY wil meet at the labour market..my uncle wrote jamb 3 times just because he wanted to study engineering while his mate that went to read anyhow course is stil looking for job while him that graduate lately his earning 325k @GLOBACOM monthky(allowances inclusive)
N:B not how far but how well.
One course might not be better than the other but please make sure you have passion and little know how about the course you wanna study.*we have 3 types of student(GENIUS.BRILLANT AND SLOW LEARNERS) I believe you all should know the difference and your categories by now. People who fall among slow learners are most times the one that are likely to choose big courses like medicine, law, engineering e.t.c.
when you already know your category, at the end of the day you wil say the people in your village are wicked..PLS IF YOU KNOW YOU ARE A SLOW LEARNER AND YOU ARE WEAK ACADEMICALY OR YOUR JAMB SCORE IS LOW PLS CHOOSE A LESS COMPETITIVE COURSE though unilag wil admit more this year because there aspirants are now few(acordn 2 what i heard)and utme/putme wil stil filter some SO PLEASE BE WISE!..
MR TIMOTHY OZOVEHE has always been a source of encouragement and a life builder to the youth of this generation.Am using this medium to say a BIG THANK YOU and your labour won,t be in vain.
I REMAIN BROS J
any question wil be answered in the comment box and please invite friends to these page irrespective of their schøol of choice.
DORMOR sir mr Timothy.
Below is a summary of the lessons I could pick from Bros J’s post above…
There are two major lessons from Bros J’s Post above.
1. If you have a dream of studying a particular course and you know you are good for that course, don’t let it go. Be persistent in your pursuit. His Uncle did and now he is doing quite well.
2. Know your strength and weakness, if your brain no fit carry medicine do what your brain can carry ooh. Lol! If you know you don’t have the capacity to meet the cut off for big courses then go for a less competitive course so that at the end you won’t say the people in your village are wicked according to Bros J.
Kudos bros J and we will be needing more of this from you as time goes on.

Hello Guys,i really want to know the time interval unilag usually grants to her newly admitted students(i.e freshers,undergraduates in particular)to make the appropriate payments before it becomes late registration;does it usually extends up till the january of the succeeding year?
You must pay within the registration period to enable you finish your clearance.
I really cannot, agree to what he
said about, choosing anyhow
courses. And the way the writer
sounded, he really didn’t
encourage anything, but
discourage some individuals. The
course you study, doesn’t matter,
as far as you are the best in that
course. Because of posts like this,
students have been misled to
study courses which they know
they can’t manage. ok let’s take a
quintessential, if an engineering
student comes out with a second
class lower, and someone who
studying Russian language comes
out with a First class, who would
be sought for? The engineering or
the person who studied the
Russian language? well! I am not
saying that all you have said is
wrong, but you ought to have
crafted it well! My advice for all
aspirants is that, go for whatever
course you like and not what
people say about the course. No
course is useless, if there were
useless courses, they apparently
won’t be studied in unilag.
Struggle to be the best in
whatever area or course you
choose. I wish you the best. Hope
you all join me in unilag.

Thanks bros. j
We all have different opinions and different things works for us. He who is wise will pick that which works best for him or her. That’s life.
Your point is cool and Bros J’s own is cool too.
All the best my friends
BRos j is right…he spoke d mind of my dad
am nt xayn dhr r useless courses .,bt in Nigeria sme r nt lucrative eg u cnt tel me european studies cn competite 4 job d way engineering wil do
tnx Tim for ur updates, u are rili doing an awesome work here dat will go a long way to help, I finished from Kaduna poly, studied mass communication nd graduated wit 3.19, aspiring to study mass comm or theater Art in unilag, want to knw if my Gp is owk to apply for direct entry, I also hear dis tin abt catchment area, am from kogi state, is unilag a catchment area for me…..tnx
Sorry, Unilag does not accept ND or HND for direct entry into social sciences.
4 dos who wnt yield 2 dis advice d nxt tym this advice wil be repeatd 2 u z wen u r serving cos dy wil always tel u dat “dos f u wu read nonsense al in d name of wanting 2 gain admizn pls go do PGD OR RE START cos Nigeria z stil developn”
Bros J… I totally disagree with u on ur comment abt an European studies graduate bin unable to compete for a job an engineering graduate wld! That is a fallacy and it is entirely wrong! Truth be told, d European languages graduates who happen to be very few are actually bin sought after with an even heavier pay dan d engineering graduates who seem to be all over d place. So don’t ever get dt impression, it is a wrong one. After much, in Nigeria, it has never bin abt wat u studied rather, it has always bin abt wat u know nd wat u can offer. No course shld EVER be considered as useless!
Even in nigeria people who study other related lyk education,art nd fishery,physics are making ‘big tym’ dan engineers.my bro finish from unilag wit 2clas since 2012 e can find a gud job until he went for an educational course in an institute now e is a teacher.it doesn’t matter d course u study is just about destiny….someone who wanted to study medicine nd few mark away from d cut off mark nd unilag gave him human nd kinetics afta wetin for 6yrs wil e defered d admission?dat a question for allll…
@tboi cngrat 2 ur bro…destiny alxo mata…bt eva since i knew unilag t a sch dat hardly let do away wit dhr product.,afta graduatn dy wil ask sme studnt 2 bring dhr result 4 jobs xo dy link dm wit cmpany.d fact z dat eida ur bro d nt mk dhr requirement r e wsna aware or he was late cos t 1st cum 1st serve #shikena
