I am John Emoavwodua, a 400 Electrical/Electronics Engineering student, from the University of Benin. I am a writer - a passionate one at that- and a web programmer.
As a nigerian student, it would not be an understatement to say you are surrounded with circumstances that do nothing but beckon on failure. You are always discouraged by what you see and hear: From the want in the family, to the poor academic start in your primary school days;from endless writing and rewriting of waec and her cohorts to writing and overwriting of jamb for years before finally getting admitted; from the financial constraints in our tertiary educational system laced and polished with bribery and corruption,laziness and indifference of lecturers to poor learning facilities in our schools and lots more. All these things break our heart so much that your feet fail you as you think about all these things, your thoughts fail you as you ponder on all these things, can I ever make it in life? You might have asked yourself. I bring you good tidings, yes you can make it . These setbacks and aweful circumstances and challenges are the actual ingredients of your success
Honourable Patrick Obahiagbon on an interview with Punch Newspaper.. Punch-Did you write exams in school in these big words? Hourable- I used such words very-very freely in my exams both at the secondary school and in my university and little wonder I had the misfortune of my English results being seized intermittently in my O’ Levels. WAEC released my results for the other subjects and withheld my English result. This happened for about three years.

All and on students who had 200 and above in their jamb keep asking me one question "what are my chances". I decided to write this post to give you an Idea of what your chances are this year. First of all,it is an established fact as I have stated earlier in one of my previous articles that this years jamb had a lot of successes 200 and above is what I hear anytime I inquire on the performance of a student ( click here to read the post ) as a result the post ume exam in all universities will be keenly contested. Schools will witness crowd and multitude off students coming for the screening test. Therefore one thing is needful for all students to have in mind 'the competition will be stiff''. Students should forget about how high or how low their jamb score is,students should stop measuring their chances by their jamb score. If you applied for a university and you got 200 and above,what it means is that you have been invited for the selection test
