@Sweet_Eeeee@sugabelly You cannot use real geographical locations in a work of fiction, and decide to be whimsical about them without at least providing a plausible explanation in the book as to why that is so
@pharukdagreat I was playing the NYT spelling bee game, and this guy saw that I was having difficulties, and joined me to play.
When I got the final word, he asked me how much do they pay😭😭
I could feel his disappointment with my response 😭😭
You've spoken Yoruba that's beyond the little I'm learning/managing to understand. I'm repeating my question and telling I don't understand, and you're replying in English in an angry tone
What exactly is the nature of your problem?
Just today:
I learnt about plateaus, Mesas and buttes today.
I watched a video of cross species imprinting between a duck and a human
I learnt about how certain animal other than pigs can go feral if they escape domestication.
Your tik tok is a reflection of YOU 🫵🏾
"In other countries I’ve been to, when a large percentage of people fail an exam, it’s a call for review of the exam and the processes to see what’s wrong.
In Nigeria, people failing makes the examiners think they’ve done an amazing job..."
The way this is painfully true
In 2017, only 30 something percent of us passed.
Not because the people that failed were not intelligent, but because the exam had no structure, no scope.
It was also a fail one section, fail all the exam then.
As someone who had written licensing exams in 4 different countries where their doctors are respected globally, I can say Nigeria is the Worst.
For the objective, I believed I pulled through because I made friends with final year medical student of University of ilorin- we wrote the exam in Ilorin. I reviewed their syllabus. A lot of their past questions was repeated because it was their lecturers teaching us that set the questions.
Based on what we were taught, that exam was abstract.
Also I need to add that I probably passed because I understood how the system works, because I had a degree in Nigeria earlier.
The reviewing of past questions is Illegal in other countries. They don’t give them their exam questions to go home with.
So someone that never had a university experience in Nigeria won’t even think of that.
The oral was one question, if you fail it, you’ve failed the whole exam
The OSSCE was also 1 question in parts; you don’t know the diagnosis, you’ve failed it all.
In other countries I’ve been to, when a large percentage of people fail an exam, it’s a call for review of the exam and the processes to see what’s wrong.
In Nigeria, people failing makes the examiners think they’ve done an amazing job.
There’s a lot of things wrong with that country and I’m glad I could take a fresh breath.
PS: A number of people that failed Nigeria Medical IMG exam passed USMLE 3 steps within 6 months.
They weren’t the problem, the system they were trying to excel in was.
I don't know if it's a cultural issue, but after three years of student's hardwork, if the number of students in the highest grade class suddenly reduces by five fold in the span of one semester, the HOD should call the profs to ask what happened
People don't fail like that.
