Strategies To Make A First Class In PAAU
Every serious student that gains admission into
tertiary institutions has the aim of graduating with a
first class/distinction degree but the reality shows that
the number of first class students in Nigeria’s tertiary
institutions is on the decline. This post gives steps
which if diligently followed will enable every student
who aspires to make a first class in school to do so
with ease.
1) Get serious from the first day
It is common for students to get carried away with the
euphoria of gaining admission into higher institution
that they forget the major reason why they are in
school. It is essential to start building your grade point
from the first day so as to avoid playing catch up
afterwards.
2) Attend Lectures
While attending lectures may not be so important in
your first year in school as most courses are what you
must have already learnt previously in your secondary
school and the large number of students in lecture
rooms in your first year may not make attending
lectures enticing however after your first year,
attending lectures must be a priority, this is enable you
mark attendance in class which may be the difference
between an A or a B, pick salient points which the
lecturer may mention in class and to pick instructions
and tips which lecturers usually give in class.
3) Understand your Lecturer(s)
As all human beings differ in various characteristics so
do your lecturers differ in the way they want things to
be done. While some may prefer you to understand
their notes only, others may prefer you to research
more on your own after giving you notes, others may
depend solely on past questions and so on. It is very
essential to understand each lecturer who comes to
lecture you. This might be done by seeking advice from
students who have taken courses taught by the
lecturer.
4) Don’t build serious relationships with the
opposite sex
It is very essential to keep only platonic relationships
with the opposite sex while in school. This might be
very difficult especially if you are a pretty lady or a
handsome guy but the truth is if you keep any serious
relationships, it will eat out of your valuable time you
would have spent studying.
5) Learn to study
This usually is the most difficult part of a student’s life
as different distractions exist in the higher institution
but unfortunately this is the most important step on
your way to making a first class in school. While most
students are fond of deceiving themselves by either
sleeping and waking in the library without actually
studying, it is very essential to give at least 2 quality
hours studying every day.
6) Rub mind with others
No man is an island, no matter how hard you study
you can never know it all, there will still be some few
things which you still would not know but someone
else’s could help you with and save you a lot of time
trying to decipher how to go about the problem.
7) Put God first
Always remember that God is the owner of all
knowledge and gives only to those who he wishes to.
Learn to always put God first before every lecture, test
or exam. He is the only one who can see you through.

Powerful Things To Do When You Are Discouraged As A Student
There are many reasons a student can lose
focus in school.
It can be bad grades that
will discourage them to be
inactive and to rebel. It
can be the environment
that can be stifling and
suffocating for the
students.
It can be the fact that many
of them don’t find it easy to
see the meaning in
their struggles in school.
Some students excel under
pressure, and there are
those who crumble
beneath it. It’s easy to praise the students who
continuously work hard, but
let’s try not to berate those who find it difficult to
focus.
When students get tired of school, they find all means
to take the shortcut. This is why numerous students
end up copying their homework and plagiarizing their
essays. This is why websites such as Bestessays.com
thrive. They offer services that will ease the difficulties
of student, making it tempting for them to sign up and
buy customized papers. Technology has definitely
made cheating a lot easier.
It’s not just in the output that students slack off in
school. It ’s in their
mentality that clearly shows their disinterest to learn
and attend classes.
When they start to not care about their grades, it must
be a cause of
concern for teachers.
Instead of lecturing these lost souls, it’s up to
educators and mentors to find
ways on how to lure them back into learning. It can be
through constant
motivation and pep talk. Sometimes, it can be a great
story that will push
them to work harder.
For now, maybe these inspirational quotes on learning
and hard work can do the trick.
“If you really look closely, most overnight
successes took a long time.” – Steve Jobs
With the likes of Mark Zuckerberg being the poster boy
of drop-out
billionaires, it’s easy to see why many students seem
to think that they no
longer need school to succeed in life. But closer
inspection shows that their
path to success is muddier than one would expect.
And besides, we can’t all
be Mark Zuckerberg. We can’t all be Steve Jobs. But
students can try to
pave their own way to success and school can help
with that.
“Every child is gifted. They just unwrap their
packages at different times.” – Anonymous
Students can’t help but compare themselves with the
top notchers in class.
While some obviously spend a lot of time studying,
some students barely
study and still manage to get good grades. Then there
are students, who no
matter how hard they try still scramble to get decent
grades. They need to
understand that students have different modes and
strengths in learning, and
sometimes formal education doesn’t work for many
students. But every
student has a talent and a skill that need time to
develop.
“I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways
that won’t work.” – Thomas A. Edison
It’s easy to get disheartened with a failed Math exam,
but it’s just one exam
out of many. A low grade for an English essay may be
discouraging, but
there’s always a next time. What students need to
keep in mind is that
getting bad grades and making mistakes can only lead
to further learning.
There’s always room for growth and time to correct
their mistakes. One
failure doesn’t mean it’s endgame already.
“You can do anything, but not everything.” –
Anonymous
With so many options for young minds to explore and
wander, students are
often pressured to be great in everything. But that’s
not something mere
mortals can do. There’s nothing wrong with being a
Math wizard and finding
difficulty penning a coherent essay. What students can
do is to focus on
what they’re good at and once they’ve mastered this
skill, they can go ahead
and try other things. They’ll feel burned out if they take
too much activities
on their plate all at the same time.
“You measure the size of the
accomplishment
by the obstacles you had to overcome to
reach
your goals.” – Booker T. Washington
There’s a reason why a B+ in a subject you find difficult
seems a lot sweeter
than the easy A+ in your PE class. When you work hard
for something, an
excellent result may not be quick to attain but even a
satisfactory result is
enough to send students in pure bliss.
“You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.”
– Wayne Gretzky
Students are often disheartened by bad results, but
giving up without even
finishing their tasks means they won’t even get any
result, besides a failing
mark. It’s always better to give learning a shot before
deeming it as
something they’ll be bad at. They may fail the first
time, but they’ll
eventually get better at it.
“Don’t worry about failures, worry about the
chances you miss when you don’t even try.” –
Jack Canfield
To reiterate the earlier point, students miss out more
when don’t even give it
a try. Many students have this mindset that they’ll fail
anyway, so why exert
an effort in studying? But the fact that they don’t even
open their books and
rarely listen to discussions means that they didn’t even
bother giving it a
shot. Efforts may not always reap the best rewards,
but it’s better than
none.
“Tough times never last. But tough people
do.” – Dr. Robert Schuller
School is just a part of life. It’s just a phase as crucial
as it may be, and
there’s more learning that will happen once you
graduate from your alma
matter. Don’t think that it’s the end of the line,
because you’re just starting.
School may toughen you up, but you need that to
survive.

BEYOND KSU : VC urges FG to grant education loan to varsity students
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.

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.
