NAIJA YOUTHS ARENA

     In Nigeria, it is very common to see students studying courses they didn't bargain for initially. You hear them say "I went in for medicine but they gave me zoology". You will wonder if they actually merited medicine and were shortchanged or they were forced to accept the unwanted course with a gun on their heads      Due to the backlog of admission seekers here I'm Nigeria.

Year after year, thousands graduate from secondary schools to join the thousands already waiting to gain admission.    There is obvious competition to get admission, especially into some seemingly lucrative professional courses like Medicine and surgery, Pharmacy, Engineering, Law etc.   It is likely that my reader is currently seeking admission into school or knows someone who is, or has spent years writing jamb and  University post UTME exams with no success.
