Quotes and lessons

Confucius Say: “Study the past if you would define the future.”
Why not study the strategies of those men in history who were the most successful of anyone on earth:
..The ones with the greatest architectural feats.
..The greatest political influence and the greatest spiritual influence.
..The ones with the greatest fortunes. They must have known something nobody else did.. what was it?

Statements That Deceive Students

 The power of the spoken word can not be over emphasized. Words have the power to uplift and destroy, which is why you should be careful as a student of the statements you listen to and take to heart.
Some students are defeatists, either by choice or due to circumstances in their lives, however a positive and optimistic attitude is a great asset to the successful person. Below are some statements you might hear and why you should not be deceived by them.
1. NO ONE GETS AN A IN THIS COURSE
Most students throw this statement around, usually from the very beginning of the semester. Already they are defeated even before the lecturer introduces the course, because they have reportedly heard from lazy students who have taken the course before. Do not let yourself be deceived, there is no course that cannot be aced. So throw away such statements and get to work.
2. A GOOD GRADE DOES NOT MATTER
While it is true that what you graduate with in the university does not determine the life you will live, do not be deceived that it does not matter at all. Usually those that say this are too lazy to apply themselves diligently to study and get good grades. You can determine, your grades by yourself, therefore it depends on you and the amount of work you put in.
3. YOU MUST BRIBE YOUR WAY THROUGH SCHOOL
Granted corruption is rampant in Nigerian universities, with many lecturers collecting bribes to upgrade grades and scores. However, there are still students who graduate, with good grades, without paying a dime as bribe. Therefore, do not be deceived by such a statement, as long as you do very well in what is expected of you, it is highly unlikely that anyone will hold you back because of bribes not paid.
 4. YOU CANNOT MIX SCHOOL WITH OTHER ACTIVITIES
While school work and heavy course loads, can eat up most of your time, do not be deceived into believing that other aspects of your life must be put on hold once you are in the university or college. You can mix other profitable activities, as long as you learn how to create a balance. Several students successfully run businesses side by side with school. Never limit yourself.
5. IF YOU DON’T HAVE A 2’1 YOU CAN NOT GET A GOOD JOB
This is another lie. Like i said above, hard work pays off and good grades matter. Yet, they do not determine your life. So if despite your best efforts, you do not see yourself graduating with great grades, keep your head up, most students go on to be successful in  life, even with poor grades.

What's up !!

Straight to business,we serve you with whats going on in school plus an amazing write up for y'all about carryovers(excited yet),let's roll in:

-The ksu 2015/2016 balloting thingy for hostel accomodation didn't hold on saturday(that's definately the right call),it has been postponed to this week and scheduled to hold on.........wait for it....wait for it...its scheduled to hold on...we don't know yet,when we get a date we'll update you...

Meanwhile,here's our piece on why you must avoid carry overs and how you can avoid it;

Why You Must Do Everything To Avoid Carryovers.

Carry overs in the university system is normal,it basically means a student has an unfinished business. A student can only carry over a course when he or she scores 39 downward in both C.A and exam(over 100). Carry overs is not in all casses a real reflection of how intelligent or not intelligent a student is,rather its a reflection of how unserious,unsmart(if that word exist),unchecked and unintrested a student is. I have seen highjly intelligent students have numerous carry overs and relatively dull students pass through without carry overs,such is life,that's why a coin is two sided.Carry over can also be a result of unfortunate and unlucky incidents,such as missing scripts,lecturer attitude towards marking your script,or even a student's handwritten(that's right).

I have once been a victim of an unlucky situation. I was not around kogi state when an assignment worth 20 marks was been submitted,when i heard about it I quickly rushed back to school from Lagos to get mine submitted. Unlucky for me the lecturer in charge of the course is very strict and sent me out of his office. I thought to myself,"I still have 80 marks to fight for so why panic". This lecturer is the kind that barely comes  to class,but he gave us a material to read ahead of his exam. For most part of monday evenings we'll wait in class expecting him to come to class but he never does. On the day I  decided I wasn't going to wait in class for him,he showed up in class and seeing how scanty the class was he decided to conduct  test with the little ones in class. The test was for 20 marks and I missed it,making it 40 mrks missed already which ruled me out of contention to score an A. Words can't describe how devastated I was during this period,my worst fear of carrying over a course is lurking around me. I tried bottling my sadness and fear until the lecturer announced that marks will deducted for every undoted Is and uncrossed Ts in his exam,he was basically asking for a perfectly written error free exam which looked impossible under the sort of pressure we  were in. I prayed to God about the situation,focused a little bit more on that course than the others,did a whole lot of library work and research and when the exam came around I completely smashed it,narrowly escaping a carry over(which many of my mates had) that would have completely changed the dynamics of my academics. Am still grateful to God till today,who know what it might have been....

Reasons why you must completely avoid carry overs:

-It brings you down;

A) Academically: having carry over means you have a F(0) in that course. Its bad,its really bad. Having an E(2) or a D(4) is far far better than having a carryover. It means you just scored 0 after studying a course for a semester and it will definately reflect on your result.

B) Psychologically: having a carry over affects the psyche of a student. Its that evil. You don't feel whole again,you won't feel yourself among your peers anymore,you'll feel devastated,less intelligent,less smart and so on. Carry overs inflict serious psychological damage on the bearer. It brings your thinking and psyche to the lowest minimum...

C) Physically: keeping tabs with your main courses is physically tasking enough,add carry overs to that and you'll barely sleep at night. You have to meet up with the time table of your main courses,then meet up with the schedule of your carry over courses,that's so physically demanding,its almost like punishment.

-Its hard to recover: even though its technically possible to recover from the evils of carry overs and get your academics back on track,its extremely difficult and take so much determination and hardwork.

-The odds aren't favourable: the odds of you graduating with a great result or a good result shifts everytime you carry over a course. Imagine doing a carry over course in place of an easy to pass elective course...

-It leads to self esteem issues: when you are writting a carry over paper with guys that are below you,its a hard hit on your esteem and confidence level. You certainly won't be the most confident person on campus,infact you'll be the least confident,if you're not then its either you're shameless,dellusional,dull or completely out of touch.

-Its a bad experience all together: the demanding schedule,the insult by lecturers,the embarrasment of writting a carry over exam with your "juniors"...its a bad experience all together. 

How To Avoid A Carry Over:

-Never joke with your C.A

-Always be around class and get adequately informed

-Serious studying: studying isn't every one's bread ad butter,not every one enjoys reading and reading,its not sweet atall,but you gats to do it. That's the way. Use the iibrary to research helpful information as much as you can.

-Do your calculations: your g.p and stuffs

-Always add to what you know

-Always do he conventional first: do what's required of you in  test or an exam first,then spice it up with the result of your researchs after to the lecturers delight.

-Be strong physically and psychologically: in ksu only the strong will survive

-Use your time and work with schedule

And finally and most importantly...

-Know your God...

Am out!!!!!
