#THELIST: Top ten awesome places in and around Kogi State University

Kogi state university is filled with a lot of standout places in and around the institution,places that fill your belly with joy. So on #thelist this wonderful realers saturday we list 10 standout or awesome places in and around Kogi state university,if you haven't been to this places you need to check them out.

10. MACOSA Radio and T.V Studio : The KSU masscommunication studio(radio and t.v) reeks of awesomeness in its tiny bits. If you haven't been there as a ksu student then you are seriously dulling. Its not the aso rock or harvard university type of awesome,but its a standout place. The accostic wall design of the t.v room is preety at best,and the interior of the radio studio(especially in the year they built it) is just amazing(if you're entering for the first time),even though most of their equipments needs replacement.
9. Art and humanities falculty : Most students would have,at least once passed through art and humanities before,its always looking kinda rough and all day by day,the rusty gate,that ugly man o'war office,the primary school which I think is a bad idea and so on. But if you take your time to observe the faculty itself you'll discover how awesome the faculty is. The TETFUND lecture rooms with the cozy seats,the nice classrooms that looks maintained,and their magical garden in the middle,that garden is really cool,with the trees an all,and the cool air,really awesome. And by the way,let's not forget the old L.T under renovation,I think its going to make the faculty even more special. And always keep a date with all those theatre arts production night,its goosebummy
8. The school library : The school library is one of those places in ksu that you enter and feel 21st century. Its modern,its neat,its awe inspiring. The interior design especially is spot on. The problem in KSU is MAINTENANCE. If that library was under proper maintenance am sure it will look better than that. Anyways,the place is conducive enough for reading,and its an awesome place for readers.
7. VOGUES : Do I need to say much about VOGUES. Its not "CLUB ROYAL",but its awesome as it is. Just check it out on a friday night and see how awesome it looks with students around.
6. DUSAK VEIWING CENTRE : For a viewing centre of kogi state standards,this is sheer brilliance !!! The exterior doesn't really have much going,and the interior is simple,the italian way,flat screens on the wall,wide viewing area for viewers,but what makes this place awesome is the match days and the people,especially on a champions league night. The atmosphere,the frenzy,its like the gathering of passionate football fans. The atmosphere is always electric. The arsenal manchester united game last semester was magnifico. If you haven't been there on a matchday,you are on a looooong thing.
5. Medical hostel : The medical hostel isn't top class,but its a breath of fresh air compared to other places in ksu. The quiet environment,the design of the hostel just makes it awesome.
4. HABOUR BAY : Describing HABOUR BAY for most ksu students is like describing what "opa" looks like. HABOUR BAY is awesome,and if you haven't been there then make sure you check it out ASAP.
3. Management garden : This personally is my favourite place in ksu. The management garden is a cool (and romantic) place to be. Its easy to think and relax over there,even though church people have taken over.
2. The GRUVE : Oh my GRUVE !!! The girls love that place. You wanna win a girl over,especially all those inikpi girls just carry dem comot go gruve,buy mede mede for dem,dem go gree sharp sharp. Seriously now,the GRUVE is an awesome place to be,the interior design,with the lights and all,the chairs,dem try small,they gat something going for them over there.
1. Agriculture faculty : Agric faculty is beautiful. The garden is beautiful. The labs are beautiful. The classrooms are beautiful. The enviroment is beautiful. Forgive me,I just love that place,words alone cannot describe how much I love that place. Its the coolest place in ksu by far !!! The lecture theatre is modern,the classrooms are modern,the labs are modern,the enviroment is conducive and amazing. And they are not done yet with the faculty. Big ups to ksu for blessing ksu students with that place. Its just naturally different from other faculties.

WHAT?! No Graduate of this Course isUnemployed in Nigeria (SEE THE COURSE)

Thousands that graduate in Nigeria ar
Unemployed. But not Radiography
graduates. Radiography is the use of ionizing
electromagnetic radiation such as X-rays to view
objects. Although not technically radiographic
techniques, imaging modalities such as PET and MRI
are sometimes grouped in radiography because the
radiology department of hospitals handle all forms of
imaging. Treatment using radiation is known as
radiotherapy.
Radiography started in 1895 with the discovery of X-
rays (later also called Röntgen rays after the man who
first described their properties in rigorous detail), a
type of electromagnetic radiation. Soon these found
various applications, from helping to find shoes that
fit, to the more lasting medical uses. X-rays were put
to diagnostic use very early, before the dangers of
ionising radiation were discovered. Initially, many
groups of staff conducted radiography in hospitals,
including physicists, photographers, doctors, nurses,
and engineers. The medical speciality of radiology
grew up around the new technology, and this lasted
many years. When new diagnostic tests involving X-
rays were developed, it was natural for the
radiographers to be trained and adopt this new
technology. This happened first with
fluoroscopy,computed tomography (1960s), and
mammography. Ultrasound (1970s) and magnetic
resonance imaging (1980s) was added to the list of
skills used by radiographers because they are also
medical imaging, but these disciplines do not use
ionising radiation or X-rays.
No Nigerian radiographer
is jobless. They are in
perpetual demand by
several private hospitals
who can only engage their
services on a part time
basis since they often can
not pay them full time.
That’s why many of the
experienced and qualified
radiographers have gone
overseas. In fact its
possible that over 60% of
radiographers trained
between 1989-2009 are
likely not living in Nigeria.
The rest are in bigger blue chip companies. While few
are found TEMPORARILY working at General Hospitals
across the country. Those on PP (private practice, a
term used by radiographers, sometimes in sarcasm) in
private hospitals are newer, younger and student
radiographers.
My advice to youths (and older middle aged men, even
of up to 50 years) is to consider going back to study
radiography if the right opportunity exists.

Ksu boy and gal palava: Signs Your Girlfriend Is StillA Teenager

First and foremost, there are many 20+ girls who are
still teens “mentally”- take your eyes off those balloons
one minute- She is still a teen! Don’t you get it?
She might lie about her age but…
Teens are officially humans from age 13-19. That
phase seemed to have come at them unexpected and
unprepared. That is observed the way they speak,
comment, react and relate.
The stage kinda offers
them the luxury of making
choices, especially selfish
ones.
I recently heard that the
rate of selfishness among
ladies and guys is like 5:3. I
heard.
Therefore, most teenage
guys quickly get past that
selfishness perimeter, but
ladies? Hmm!

1. How she relates
with you is totally
dependent on what her besties tell her.
This some times makes her indecisive and passive in
her actions towards you. Today she tells you one
thing, tomorrow, another. You can almost see a third
party with a kid’s gloves on.
2. She can’t make any relationship work
She may profess how ready she is to make it work, but
inside her is like a remote control, she just can’t fit! At
any slight disagreement in a “marriage-professed”
relationship, she quickly walks away- returns to
hibernate in “solo zone”!
3. A girl of excess fantasy with zero reality
I feel concerned when I see a “grown up” girl that
should be seeing the part of Miley Cyrus, Taylor Swift
or Selena Gomez that has a dream and won’t quit
working until it achieves it. Instead, she decides to see
the fancy and flexing part that wants to live in a
mansion of gold with zero grey matter. I see!
4. Mexican Love movies often becloud her
reasoning.
As earlier stated, she can be 30+, but if she thinks that
the love story in those movies are real enough to
inculcate it in her relationship, then; she is simply
running on the Engine of a Teenager. The movies sef
are even acted by teens! Hian!
5. At the early stage of your relationship, she
frequently play simple and “naive” games to
test your love for her.
Y’all know what y’all did… At least, before you ate
the forbidden apple…
6. She dresses, makes up, walks, talks,
speaks and acts like a “wannabee adult”
You can tell from her looks if you’ve got “the eye”. I do
not dispute the fact that there are many teens who
negate this point. They are quite good, 75% good
7. Highly Temperamental Displayed through
Mood Swings At Important Moments
The funny thing is, she doesn’t know why! You may call
it snubbing you, ignoring your calls… All of these and
more buttress my point.
There are just some things only age and maturity can
bring.
Relationship is quite an adventure with her kind of
partner in a boat.
I must add this, these young, inexperienced folks
always think they’re in love, especially with a much
older guy. She is not for you guys to explore and
deflower. If you snub my advice, what about Karma?
Why not let her go elsewhere or if you have the
strength, you coach her aright?

WOW!! Prophet’s Prophecy Fails As YoungNigeria Becomes PhD Holder (READ FULL STORY)

As said by the young man in question, this is a unique
motivational story, which all can learn from. Read and
share:

When I was 8 years old, a Prophet came to my house
and after prayers took a look at me and said I will
never do well academically and when its time my
parents should send me to learn trade. I wept that
night because I knew the Vision I saw of myself. My
sister Chinyere came to me and said Nna you can be
whatever you want to be; I believed her. TODAY I am a
graduate of Architecture with Masters and Doctorate
(PhD) degree in the same field, which I graduated in
both with First Class High Honours. Today am one of
the youngest PhD holders in Architectural
Construction Technology from Nigeria, maybe the
youngest and the only one as I was told. Friends
believe in yourself and know you can turn around any
negative Prophesy over your life by keying into your
Vision. I did it by God’s Grace and I know you
can.#MyBirthDayTestimony.

A Word For Every Student (A MUST READ)

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.
