I sat down and realize that many will regret the years
they spent as a student not because they never
attended lectures, nor they didn’t do well in their
exams but simply because their thought were
confined around classroom knowledge, our
educational system today indirectly discourage
knowledge outside the school curriculum, a system
were your gift and talent remains dormant and
useless for the time spent in school.
A system were your
success in life is rated by
the Amount of A’s you
make, but have seen and
heard of very brilliant
student or best in classes
that cant afford a good
home, school and shelter
for their family. Many are
discouraged about life
simply because of F. Many
are depressed, many
confused, many wish to
change, many even wants
to drop.
I will gladly advice all both the one gifted with A’s and
those blessed with F’s to start thinking outside the box
of classroom. Be practical about life and knowledge,
be creative, read books, attend seminars, be
innovative, write books, start up a business, contest in
pageantry, form a dance/music club, play politics,
organise shows, learn a skill, learn a handwork , start a
forum, evangelize for the kingdom, work on your self,
learn public speaking, be a computer literate, give
some time to outside classroom event.
It pays and at the end of your stay in school, you might
not come out with the best result but you will come
out enlightened, you might not come out with a 1st
class but you will come out informed and
transformed. You might not be the best student but
you will come out changed, and equipped to face
reality and challenges from life…….
My dear, dare life, question system, try new things,
invent things, discover things and never forget or be
too afraid to say NO to discouragement, obstacles and
depression…
And at the end try to be a graduate religiously,
academically, financially, emotionally, health wise, and
otherwise. So many wish they could go back and make
amendment, wish they learnt things they thought they
were too busy to learn. Now that you are opportuned,
don’t come out a novice.
Until you are able to give your self all the necessary
Information you cant transform others and your
society…..

10 Students You Will Meet At Result CheckingBoard
This write up is based on my observations. I have
met quite a few students clustered around result
checking board and below are my
observationsTake a cup of yoyo bitter & read
meticulous
1. The ones who will
keep opening their
mouth after checking
their results. They will
start explaining how
easy the questions
were, how they
finished b4 time and
how they attempted
all the questions
properly. They will
start bad mouthing
the lecturer, saying
the lecturer is
economical giving out
marks and that he
deliberately marked them down
2. The ones who will start raining curses on a
lecturer the moment they realize they got D, and
will start praising themselves when they get an A
in the course
3. The ones who will put their hands on their
hand and start crying as if dey just lost a relative
( common among the female folks ;D )
4. The ones who will check their results and start
blaming their failure on insufficient time during
the exam
5. [The ones who will check their results and
would act like they have passed but look at them
in the face and you would see discomfort and
failure registered on their faces ;D
6. The ones who have already crammed the
matric number of most students. They come
under the disguise of checking their results
7. The ones who are there to consolate other
people.. Either they pass or fail, no one knows
8. The ones who will come and stay few miles
away from the board expecting students to
vacate the board before they can check because
they don’t want ppl to know their grades
9. The ones will check their results without even
saying anything, off they go.. Either they fail or
pass, you will never know ;D
10. The ones who will check their results and
start boasting. ( I know I will get an A). Many at
times, they will be the last person to vacate the
result check board because they want to show to
their colleges how well they have performed

reasons you should do School Practicals/assingments byyourself
We always complain that most of our education is
theoretical in Nigeria with little emphasis on practical
aspects. However, the little emphasis on practicals,
students do not still use wisely. Many in my
experience, copy practical reports and miss practical
classes. Why should you however take practicals
serious and avoid copying?
1. Good grades
When you actually carry
out your practical by
yourself, it shows in your
practical outcome and
results. Therefore the
examiner is likely to give
you higher grades.
2. Knowledge
As they say, no knowledge
gained today is a waste.
When you apply yourself
diligently and carry out the
practical, the knowledge
you gain in the process is
invaluable to you and to the society. You will come out
a graduate who knows his/her onions.
3. Job Opportunities
Several graduates miss out on job offers, because they
did not take practical class seriously enough. While
your certificate might be enough to guarantee you an
interview or even get the job. practical knowledge in
your field of study is one thing that will keep you there.
4. Entrepreneurship
So many of the courses studied in Nigerian
Universities can be transformed into self employment.
However, the bulk of students do not know enough to
take advantage of this avenues. A student who takes
practical classes seriously will know enough to
guarantee him/her self sustaining employment.

8 Things Successful People Sacrifice For Their Success (by a sucessful female nigeiran writer)
Four years ago, I went through one of the most
difficult times of my life. I’d recently given birth to my
third child. I was breastfeeding up to 6 times in a
night. My husband was working night shifts. I was also
trying to get my writing career off the ground. I would
often feed my daughter and type with the other hand.
I had broken sleep for months on end and still took my
other two children to school on time. I made many
sacrifices to follow my dreams. And every single one of
them have paid off in the end. If I hadn’t made those
sacrifices, my writing career wouldn’t be where it is
today.

Mistakes That Can Cost You First Class Degree
As a graduate who came very close to finishing with a
first class in engineering, I can easily identify errors
that cost students the prestigious first class degree. I
made one or two of these mistakes. Over the span of
five years that I spent in the university, I saw lots of
people make the same mistakes outlined here. Many
brilliant students start with the initial dream of
graduating with a first class, only to end up struggling
to even finish with a 2.1. Obtaining a first class takes a
great deal of hardwork, consistency, intelligence but
most importantly discipline. Commit these errors and
your chances of getting a first class will be very slim if
not nil.

From Grace To Grass To Dust : Reasons Why KSU At The Moment Will Not Produce Enough First Class Students
On a friday evening,a week before the strike I was in one of those classes in management science. I looked around and saw loads of students charging one thing or the other as usual. I observed the chairs,and it looked like students had beenplaying king kong chase on those chairs. I thought they said renovated the school before the beginning of last semester,so what happened ??
We need a suitable academic environment to learn but at the moment ksu are not providing that and to be honest they are even lucky students are not agitating. Everything in ksu at the moment is in decline,things are going from bad to worse,which makes it harder every year for the institution to graduate first class students.
Kogi state university has gotten to a point where students have this "get admission and come out quickly" attitude. Many of we students keep mute about most of this things but do we realize that our silence has a big say on the not so encouraging academic records ?? When our comfort,academic excellence,well being and our future depends on the institution then we have start speaking and demanding. We clearly understand that the institution is a reflection of Nigeria as a country and kogi as a state,we get it,but in the outside world we have alternatives,but its a different ball game in the confine of an institution where 100 level students(indigene and non-indigene) pay #57,500 and #100,000 per head and spend even more on accomodation,feeding and other things,yet they still make life and learning uneasy for students,even extorting money from student by lecturers in order to pass a course,how fair is that ??
