The Vice Chancellor of the Redeemers University, Prof. Debo Adeyewa, on Friday advised the Federal Government to grant education loan to university students to enable them tackle school fees problems in their various institutions. Adeyewa gave the advice while addressing State House correspondents after a visit to the Vice President Yemi Osinbajo by the university's Governing Council. He said that already, his university, though private, had been subsidising education.
``Education is expensive anywhere in the world. You need to accept that education is expensive.
``People talk about the fact that the poor cannot access education; we are keeping the poor poor(er) by not helping them to access education.
``In the private universities, if I tell you our budget for payment of salaries all the fees that we gather is not even enough to pay salaries and yet we must build infrastructure, we must do some other things.
``We contribute even to pay fees for students; so we are actually subsidising education; it is expensive.
``Now, let’s look at this, what we give to students is on the higher side because education is something that you need to give in qualitative and quantitative terms.
``So, what we are trying to say is that government can help by assisting, by giving education loans to students to assist them.
``By saying that education is free like the Federal Government is saying, it is not going to be sustainable.
``If education is free and you are not really giving the much money that is needed, you know what you are doing, you are offering university education at the primary school level.
``Quality and quantity must agree. ‘’
According to him, many private universities in the country do not make profit, yet, have to provide infrastructure, quantitative and qualitative education.
``Private universities are actually coming and you don’t know actually how many universities are actually making gains.
``We are actually making sacrifices and we are making it cheap.’’
Adeyewa said that the private universities deserved some kudos for rescuing the quality of education in Nigeria. He decried the penchant for Nigerian parents to send their children abroad for tertiary education in spite of having to pay more.
``Recently, I saw an advertisement that it is only 3,500 dollars for fees for (a) university outside the country.
``How much do we charge in this country?
``Parents have the money to send their children abroad but when it comes to Nigeria they want it free.
``Ghana is progressing more in education than Nigeria because they are tackling education at the grassroots.
``We need to overhaul the education system in Nigeria.’’
According to the vice chancellor, universities have important role to play in the change mantra of the present administration by promoting excellence and making discoveries. He specifically recalled the role played by his university in fighting Ebola and Lassa fever.
``That is what the universities should be known for: community service, dissemination of knowledge and service to humanity.’’
Also speaking with the correspondents, the Pro Chancellor of the university, Mr Tokumbo Adesanya, stressed the need for universities' administrators to change their mind set in order to work in tandem with the aspirations of the government.
``The universities in the country should be serious to contribute to the effort in the change that is taking place generally,’’ he said.
He said the council came to pay homage to the Vice President, as one of the founding members of the university, to congratulate him for his achievement in government so far.

8 Types Of Students You See In A University Library
If you are the type that visit the library very often, be
prepared to face the following type of people. And
don’t be surprised if you fall into one of the
categories.
Shall we?
The Popular Students
Oh my God! These set of students know almost every
staff in the library. In fact, their popularity is a source
of envy to other students. Once they arrive the library,
you see all the staffs greet them. They ask about their
family, their studies, previous night etc. These
students can chat with library officials for several
minutes till you begin to wonder if that is what they
have come to do.
The Pretenders
These student are so annoying. They either come to
the library to flirt or they come with someone. They
usually pretend they are reading. But give them some
minutes and you see them gently stroll outside when
the person they came to see step outside.
Book Testers
They are mostly found standing and strolling around
the library shelves. After taking a tour, they cramped
together three or four textbooks (couple with their
notebooks) before helping themselves to a seat. Even
you with one note will start to get intimidated. Before
you know it, the dive straight into their books and jack
as if their life depend on it. Only that 30minutes later,
they pack their note and outa they go. How pathetic.
So all na shakara
Library Heroes
They are married to the library. They open with the
library staff and close with them. You will think they
don’t attend lectures. But hey, they are front benchers
in lecture rooms too. God knows how many book they
have sampled. Kai she una no go kill person.
The Wanderers
You will think they have come to the library for a tour.
These students examine the tables and chairs, the
shelves and even the students sitting. They go in and
out of the library every now and then. Then put nail
for them sit? Haba!
The Onlookers
It is as if they have come to the library to sample
students. No one will pass -by without them throwing
a look. Any small sound, they will look. Wetin them dey
look, them wan spy students.
The Talkatives
God Almighty! They will surprise you. New gist
everyday and they never run out of ideas. One
moment, a staff will silent them and another moment
they have started their trade. These students can talk
eh! And they will not talk beneficial things. Na this
endless gossip, kilode.
The Disturbers
Once they spot you in the library-especially if u are a
guru-you are in trouble. Just know you will not be able
to concentrate on what you are reading except you
leave the library. They ask a combination of foolish,
sensible, interesting, and silly questions. So be
prepared.

15 Types Of People You Should Meet In Your 20s
The people you meet always add something to your
life, be it negative or positive. Regardless of the type of
impact they leave, you always learn a valuable lesson
from their presence. Below are the different types of
people you have to meet in your 20s to help shape you
into the person you want to be.
1. The Giver
This person has dedicated
their whole life to the
simple art of giving. Be it
giving a homeless person
loose change or their time
to an animal shelter, they
are always giving. Being
around this giving nature
will unintentionally
motivate you to give more
of yourself too.
2. The Adventurer
The Adventurer is always going somewhere and
always doing something unbelievably exciting.
Although you may not always be up for everything
they are up to, simply being around them when they
do thrilling things will inspire you to break out of your
comfort zone and do things you never would normally
do. This person will push you to travel the world,
which is what everybody in their twenties has to do at
some point.
3. The Helper
This person is always willing to help no matter what
their situation is. Whether it’s you in trouble or
someone else, this person is always ready to help.
Being around this person drives you to be more aware
of people who are in need of help and extend your
hand more than you usually would.
4. The Complainer
For this person, nothing is ever good enough. Nothing
can ever meet their standards. When you are around
them, all you ever hear is them complaining about
something or the other. Although this may not be the
healthiest environment, it helps you reflect on your
views in life and makes you appreciate things more.
Being around the complainer actually makes you
complain less.
5. The Risk-taker
This person is constantly taking risks in their
relationships or even in their workplace. They always
seem to place everything on the line, which may not
always work out well. Seeing them being extremely
brave with their choices motivates you to be the same
way. Even if you don’t become an extreme risk taker,
you end up pushing yourself to be more risky than you
usually would.
6. The Free-spirit
The Free-spirit has no ties to anything or anyone. They
are constantly changing jobs and moving from one
relationship to the next. They constantly move houses
and sometimes countries.You may find it very hard to
keep track of where this person is or what they are
doing. Their freedom reminds you to not take life so
seriously. They remind you how transient things can
be, which helps you enjoy moments in life more.
7. The Stable One
The complete opposite of the Free-spirit, the Stable
One has their life in order. They have the standard
nine to five job with the very stable relationship and a
lease contract valid for more than a year. These
people weren’t always this stable. In fact, they
probably were messes a couple of years ago. Being
around them reminds you that it’s possible to gain
stability even if it seems like your life is a mess. After
meeting them, you know that things will get better
with time.
8. The Bossy One
The Bossy One feels the need to take charge in every
situation, which can get incredibly irritating at times.
The Bossy One shows you how important taking
charge is but also when you need to take a step back.
9. The Honest One
This person will tell you to the truth no matter what. It
doesn ’t matter if you are in tears, you know you’ll hear
the honest answer to whatever question you just
asked. Their blunt attitude towards life keeps you on
track and reminds you how important the truth really
is.
10. The Optimist
The Optimist always puts a positive spin on whatever
situation they are in. Their blind positive attitude may
be irritating at times, but it reminds you that you
should always look on the bright side no matter what
obstacles cross your path.
11. The Pessimist
The Pessimist prevents you from floating away on The
Optimist’s cloud of positivity. They keep you grounded
by reminding you of all the things that could go wrong.
Their constant negative attitude on life keeps you in
touch with reality, but also makes sure you maintain a
balance between being a realist and an idealist.
12. The Married One
This person has found the love of their life and has
made the ultimate commitment. Knowing someone
like this helps you figure out what you want, while
subtly stressing the existence of love and it’s
importance.
13. The Manipulative One
Everyone has to meet The Manipulative One at some
point in their lives. This person manages to _get what
they want by using you as the pawn. After you realise
how you’ve been manipulated, you learn to be more
cautious in life. The Manipulative One teaches you to
be stronger than you thought you could be.
14. The Backstabber
When you meet this person, you will trust them with
everything only to have them use it against you. It’s
important you meet someone like this to remind you
that being trusting is the best quality you can have
while betraying trust is the worst.
15. The Wise One
This person has a quote stored in their minds that
applies to almost any situation you find yourself in.
They are like a walking self-help book. They also have
the best advice when you find yourself stuck. Being
around The Wise One allows the wisdom to rub off on
you as well.

The Big News Regarding Your Blood Pressure
Blood pressure — for many of us, it’s little more than some
strange fraction that a doctor or nurse mentions to us any
time we head to the doctor or hospital. Or, it’s merely the
hieroglyphics that show up on the blood pressure monitor
when you’re trying to kill some time at CVS. Either way, it’s
something that a lot of people don’t understand. Yet, it’s
one of the most vital and important ways to get some
insight into our health.
Well, it’s time to get clued-in because there is big news
regarding blood pressure from a large-scale study that has
produced some rather clear-cut findings. The National
Institutes of Health-sponsored Systolic Blood Pressure
Intervention Trial, or SPRINT, was kicked off in order to
address this question: “Will lower blood pressure reduce
the risk of heart and kidney diseases, stroke, or age-related
declines in memory and thinking?”
Now, we have an answer:
“More intensive management of high blood pressure, below
a commonly recommended blood pressure target,
significantly reduces rates of cardiovascular disease, and
lowers risk of death in a group of adults 50 years and older
with high blood pressure,” reads a news release from the
National Institutes of Health. For millions of Americans, this
is big news. Considering that there is an obesity epidemic
and widespread ignorance or misinformation circulating
about cardiovascular health and blood pressure, these
findings, as simple as they are, can help more people make
smart decisions regarding their health.
“This study provides potentially lifesaving information that
will be useful to health care providers as they consider the
best treatment options for some of their patients,
particularly those over the age of 50,” said Gary H. Gibbons,
M.D., director of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood
Institute.
“We are delighted to have achieved this important
milestone in the study in advance of the expected closure
date for the SPRINT trial and look forward to quickly
communicating the results to help inform patient care and
the future development of evidence-based clinical
guidelines.”
When you cut through all the noise, what, exactly, does this
mean for the average American? Basically, this study
confirms or reaffirms the importance of hitting targeted
blood pressure parameters. Essentially, since roughly one
out of three people making up the American population has
some sort of issue with hypertension or elevated blood
pressure, this study can help doctors and medical staff
develop better guidelines to help improve patient
outcomes.
For example, Marc Siegel, M.D., a professor of medicine and
medical director of Doctor Radio at New York University’s
Langone Medical Center, wrote an article for Slate about the
study’s findings and how it will actually impact his work day-
to-day.
“A single study will change the way I practice medicine, with
guidelines from the American Heart Association and the
National Institutes of Health soon to follow,” he writes.
“Targeted diet, exercise, and weight loss are good first-line
approaches, but many people require medication as
well. Now that I know there is a dramatic difference
between a systolic blood pressure of 140 and 120 in those I
treat, I will be much more proactive in trying to persuade
my patients to target the lower number.”
With the importance of keeping your blood pressure low
once again being extolled by medical science, taking
measures in your day-to-day life to ensure it stays low is
extremely important. Of course, the biggest hurdle, for
most people, is adjusting your level of physical activity and
diet to make healthy gains. That can be very difficult,
depending on a number of factors.
But you can start by digging around The Cheat Sheet’s own
trove of health and fitness articles — many rife with
exercises and workouts that will help you tackle issues
related to obesity and hypertension. Also, look for ways to
de-stress, which is also a big factor toward keeping blood
pressure in check.
So, the next time you get your blood pressure checked, set
some goals to get it lower. Ideally, you’re aiming for 120
over 80 — or thereabouts. And according to this most
recent study, the lower the better. (Just don’t pass out.)

Sex and Relatoinship : 6 Ways To Know You Are In A Relationship With A Liar/Cheater
1. Liars and cheaters do not trust
A liar or a cheater is always apprehensive and is always
trying to find something that will help them not trust the
person. As they know what people are capable of.
Trust will always be the point of dispute for a very long time
if you are in a relationship with them.
2. The will always act to be the victim
Liars and cheaters have a bad habit of self pity. They always
treat their pain to be the greater pain. Even if you fall off a
tree and break the bones in your body, their pain of a mere
knife cut will be more. Since such people are constantly
trying to justify the fact that they lie, they are always finding
reasons to help them advocate the case.
Such people will always have bigger problem from you. At
times when you are explaining a tragedy to such people
they will gradually move the focal point of the relationship
towards themselves.
3. Liars and cheaters are always apprehensive
Such people have so much to fight for. They have so much
to hide that they are always apprehensive even when they
go out for groceries.
Simple plans will never be simple for the two of you. It
could be anything, it could be a simple walk out in the park
but it won’t be simple in any way.
Either you didn’t ask them before choosing a park or you
didn’t ask them hard enough so maybe you don’t want them
to go which brings me to another point.
4. They will Pick the most stupid fights
This is a huge tell sign. It could be a tell sign for a lot of
things though, like attention seekers would also do this.
Liars and cheaters are always on the lookout for the
reasons to fight, subconsciously. As they know, one day
every lie of theirs will come out in the open.
They subconsciously gather information that will help them
portray themselves as the victim and all their actions
justified after that is being done to them.
5. Liars and cheaters are charmers
Liars and cheaters are charmers and win over people easily.
They will always be the life of the group. They make you feel
special which they know matters to you the most because
they have no limits when it comes to lying.
They would tell you the most amazing and hopeful things
about what you want to hear.
6. Liars and cheaters have loopholes in their
stories
Since liars and cheaters are used to lying, they don’t mind
adding a few lies here and there. This when you ask them
about the same story, they will never tell the story the same
because liars themselves don’t know which lie they said to
someone. Such loopholes, if exposed or questioned, will
always be welcome with an I-knew-you-don’t-trust-me fight.
This only ends in you being the guilty one. So, be prepared.
A liar or a cheater is always apprehensive and is always
trying to find something that will help them not trust the
person. As they know what people are capable of.
Trust will always be the point of dispute for a very long time
if you are in a relationship with them.
2. The will always act to be the victim
Liars and cheaters have a bad habit of self pity. They always
treat their pain to be the greater pain. Even if you fall off a
tree and break the bones in your body, their pain of a mere
knife cut will be more. Since such people are constantly
trying to justify the fact that they lie, they are always finding
reasons to help them advocate the case.
Such people will always have bigger problem from you. At
times when you are explaining a tragedy to such people
they will gradually move the focal point of the relationship
towards themselves.
3. Liars and cheaters are always apprehensive
Such people have so much to fight for. They have so much
to hide that they are always apprehensive even when they
go out for groceries.
Simple plans will never be simple for the two of you. It
could be anything, it could be a simple walk out in the park
but it won’t be simple in any way.
Either you didn’t ask them before choosing a park or you
didn’t ask them hard enough so maybe you don’t want them
to go which brings me to another point.
4. They will Pick the most stupid fights
This is a huge tell sign. It could be a tell sign for a lot of
things though, like attention seekers would also do this.
Liars and cheaters are always on the lookout for the
reasons to fight, subconsciously. As they know, one day
every lie of theirs will come out in the open.
They subconsciously gather information that will help them
portray themselves as the victim and all their actions
justified after that is being done to them.
5. Liars and cheaters are charmers
Liars and cheaters are charmers and win over people easily.
They will always be the life of the group. They make you feel
special which they know matters to you the most because
they have no limits when it comes to lying.
They would tell you the most amazing and hopeful things
about what you want to hear.
6. Liars and cheaters have loopholes in their
stories

Life Lessons a Mosquito Can Teach You
"If you think you are too small to make a
difference, try sleeping with a mosquito.” –
attributed to the Dalai Lama XIV
Bzzzzzzz. We all know this sound. We all know the nightmares and suffering it can produce during our much-needed and desired sleep. We all know when this creature is approaching. Its revealing buzz, simply unstoppable and greatly feared by us. This amazing little creature is even more amazing than we think. Its simplicity can teach us more than what we could ever have imagined…
1. Never Give Up
What a cliché. Never give up. It is one of those life tips
that we find in almost every life guide. Far from being
useless, it is surely a must. Mosquitoes get this idea
pretty well. They can simply pass all night trying to get
into our ear, or trying to suck all of our blood. If a pea-
sized creature can give its maximum effort, why can’t
we? We should at least be able to put up with a
mosquito. We can always go farther, and when it
comes to our dreams and passions, never giving up is
the key to achieving these.
Never forget that refusing to give up is a way of seeing
life. It is about learning that, even though life is
supposed to flow, part of this beautiful experience is
building the momentum and going for it! Just as
Thomas A. Edison said, “Results! Why, man, I have
gotten a lot of results. I know several thousand things
that won’t work”.
2. Don’t Underestimate
We tend to underestimate things for their appearance.
Size, for example, is one of those misleading qualities.
We might think that because something or someone is
small, it is powerless and inferior, like an ant or a
mosquito. Did you know that an ant can hold more
than 100 times its own weight? Or that mosquitoes are
the deadliest animals on the planet?
Underestimating someone’s abilities because of their
appearance is just insanely misleading and
counterproductive. Like the example of the ant and
the mosquito, we find countless instances of
underestimation in life, such as underestimating the
ability of your mom to help you with your love
problems. If we want to flow in life, we should
acknowledge people for theirinner qualities and not
for their exterior appearance or the first impression
they give. Just as Toba Beta said: “Don’t belittle anyone
who you don’t recognize. Don’t be fooled by anybody
who underrates you”.
3. Accept
Ultimately, there will be times when we can´t beat the
mosquitoes. Sometimes they are just too fast and
somehow too powerful. It is a fight between the
mosquito and our will for sleeping. It is then we have
to learn to accept, which is one of the only ways to
really win over mosquitoes, or to manage life’s
casualties without painful attachments.
Accepting is one of Buddha´s life lessons, which
certainly give us the key forflowing in life and
managing life’s craziness. It is easier to flow with the
water current than to resist it. Accepting is learning
to let go, to be with the experience and don’t fight it.
Sometimes in life we find something we call Reverse
effort. As Alan Watts once wrote: “When you try to
stay on the surface of the water, you sink; but when
you try to sink you float. Whosoever would save his
soul shall lose it”.
4. Don’t Fear Taking Risks
Mosquitoes take this too far, yet they teach us that
taking a risk is worth it. For them, taking a risk is
ultimately necessary, for it is one of their ways to get
their food. Mosquitoes take the risk of fighting with an
animal which is enormously much bigger than them.
They don’t even try too hard to go all in, they just do it,
and even try to get into our brains! How courageous is
that?
Risk-taking is one of those much-feared things. It is
totally natural, for breaking out of our comfort zone is
hard and takes boldness. Yet risk-taking is certainly the
best way to learn, experience, and do the undone. We
humans are instinctively adventurous and committed,
just like any other being. This is what has led us to
thrive, evolve, and advance. Let’s go with our intuition
and instinct and use our abilities to fulfill our dreams
and passions. Just as Albert Einstein said: “A ship is
always safe at the shore—but that is NOT what it is
built for”.
5. Share
We are part of this universe, this world, this reality.
This is something we have forgotten. We are part of it,
rather than, owners of it, which is what we usually
think. Even though we might think that the former is
not true, our actions say the contrary. The way we
abuse the natural world, other beings, and even our
own species, proves that we want to conquer rather
than share and live as a whole.
Mosquitoes teach us that sharing is necessary for
living, for space and resources are a need of all.
Mosquitoes have equal right to live and be here. They
been here longer than us, for about 170 million
years already! If we learn to share not only space and
resources, but love, kindness, help, food, time, and
attention, our social life skills will get a boost.
Everyone loves to share with a gentle, sharing, and
respectful person. And not only that, the well-being
and satisfaction you feel from living interconnected
with all beings and sharing with others is priceless and
nameless. Just as Snoop Dogg said: “It ain’t no fun if
the homies can’t have none”.
6. Be Humble
Yes, we are advanced; yes, we have a lot of money;
yes, we have big houses, cars, buildings, and guns. Yes,
we have complex minds, prodigy pianists, violinists…
Yes, a mosquito drives us insane. Yes, we can´t
control the weather. Yes, we are powerless in front of
an angry volcano, a furious tornado, a violent tsunami.
We are not the most powerful, nor invincible, nor
infinite. We are mortal just as any other being. We are
in a continuous process of evolution and thriving. Life
is beautiful. We are here to coexist rather than to
oppress or repress. Mosquitoes teach us this simply
and easily by demonstrating to us that in a room, in
the forest, or anywhere, we are almost powerless in
front of them, and if we have insect repellent, we are
powerful for a couple of hours just to return to our
normal, ordinary, human state.
Life is much more enjoyable when we live together
and share together. There is no need to show
superiority over others. If we ever have the idea that
we are superior and invincible, certainly life will take
the task of showing us the contrary. Just as Thomas
Henry Huxley said: “Sit down before fact as a little
child, be prepared to give up every preconceived
notion, follow humbly wherever and to whatever
abysses nature leads, or you shall learn nothing. I have
only begun to learn content and peace of mind since I
have resolved at all risks to do this. ”Good things come
when we are open to live! Go out and live life! Listen to
the mosquitoes and their wise bzzzzzzz!
Powerful Quotes That Will Maximize Your Potential
There are days when getting up early is so difficult to
do. Even if you have been in the game for quite
sometime staying inspired to produce results all the

Negative Thoughts That Will Shatter Your Dreams
The road to achieving our dreams can be scary. In fact,
the fear in our minds can hold us back from so much
that we don’t even take a step toward our dreams. It’s
as if the more the dream matters to us, the less likely
we are to even pursue the dream.
The dream ends up being
talked about and imagined,
but never actively chased .
For your dream to become reality you must
have a single minded focus and the only way
to do that is to shatter these six thoughts.
1. I’m not good enough
If we do not feel worthy of our dreams, we will settle
for less than what the world has to offer. We shrink
back to a life that is comfortable even when we hate it.
Most people underestimate their skill and knowledge.
I am sure that you do as well. You are worthy of your
dreams. You do have what it takes inside of you.
2. I don’t know how
This is one of the biggest lies we tell ourselves.
Of course we don’t know how when we have never
done it before. There comes a point in life where we
start to believe that we need to have the answer. This
is not reality. We should build learning into our lives
until we are six feet under. If you don ’t know how you
can find someone that does. If you can’t find someone
that knows, there are blogs, YouTube, google, and
many other resources to help you learn how.
3. It’s not realistic
Realistic is safe and boring. It is a statement that
signals adulthood and a loss of imagination. If you
want to achieve your dreams, you must be a little
unrealistic.
Every person throughout history that is remembered
has been unrealistic. If your dream feels unrealistic
you are right on track to greatness. Keep pushing
through the doubt of realism to achieve your dream.
4. What will people think?
The fear of what others will think kills dreams. It can
cause us to hide behind a mask of our true identity.
Others will not understand and that is okay.
To accomplish greatness it requires some people to
not get it. There are people that will hate your dream,
however, there is a bigger group of people waiting for
you. Focus on the people that love your dream and
ignore the haters.
5. I don’t have time
It is easy to focus on the lack of time when chasing a
dream does not require much. It will require you to be
focused and cut the fat out of your life. Many say they
are hustling when they aren’t. You have more time
than you think you have. A few days in the week,
journal and record where you are spending your time.
I am sure that you will find some extra minutes or
hours.
Your dream may require a little less sleep, but it is
worth it.
6. It has already been done
It is easy to think that if it has been done it is not
possible. The reality is that this makes your dream
easier in a lot of ways. There are a lot of disadvantages
to being first to the market. If someone else did it
already, it means that there is a proven market.
Your dream may have been done, but not by your
unique self. You have certain life experiences and
knowledge that applied to life will paint your dream a
little differently than everyone else.
Time and focus will fix many shortcomings. Just keep
walking it out and you will be amazed at your
progress. Your dreams are possible if you continue to
be faithful and keep focusing your energy toward your
dreams. Over time you will see your dreams come to
fruition.
