Write post-UTME at your first choice institution, JAMB tells candidates.

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation
Board, JAMB has back-off on its new policy
adopted on July 14 to redistribute
candidates to universities.
JAMB’s Public Relation Officer, Mr.
Benjamin Fabian who disclosed this to
Vanguard Tuesday in a telephone
conversations said: ”Candidates should go
and write the post-UTME in their
institutions of first choices.”
He, however noted that after the post-
UTME in their universities of first choice,
if necessary, JAMB is still going to
redistribute them.
He said: “When they write the post-UTME
in the schools of their first choices, they
may wish to consider the other places we
have taken them to for admissions.
”The reason is that if they don’t get
admission in their first choices institution,
they will get in the second.”
He explained that JAMB’s effort in
redistributing candidates was only geared
towards helping candidates of over-
subscribed institutions gain admission to
other federal or state universities rather
than wasting their scores.
You will recalled that JAMB had last week
announced its new policy to redistributes
candidates to universities other than their
first choice.
The development which generated sharp
criticism from stakeholders almost
paralysed some of the most sought after
universities in the country.

We're saving students from universities’ money-making machine — JAMB

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation
Board (JAMB) has said its decision to
redistribute candidates is to save them from
universities’ money-making machine.
According to the head of JAMB, Lagos, Dr.
Beatrice Okorie, the new admission policy
saves students the trouble of paying for post-
UTME exams at institutions that will not
admit them.
“If we had not done that, many of these
candidates would have fallen prey of the
universities’ money-making machine, that is,
the post-UTME without securing admission
even with their high scores," Okorie said in a
Vanguard report.
She said with the redistribution, candidates
have a better chance at securing admissions
without hassles.
“What we have done is to look at those who
have not met with the cut-off points of
UNILAG based on merit, catchment areas and
the educationally less disadvantaged areas,
but who have chances of securing admission
in other federal and state universities and
push them there to write post-UTME tests,"
she added.

JAMB to re-distribute candidates with cut off mark issues to other versities

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board
(JAMB), said that it was set to re-distribute
candidates with cut-off marks less than what
their first choice of universities required to
needy institutions .
This is contained in a statement signed by the
Head, Media and Publicity of the board, Dr
Fabian Benjamin, and made available to
newsmen on Sunday in Lagos.
It said that the recent admission policy
witnessed at the University of Lagos was
aimed at ensuring that Nigerian universities
admit only the top-best as was done globally.
It would be recalled that candidates and their
parents had on Wednesday, July 22, staged a
peaceful protest at the University of Lagos
gate over the high cut-off marks for
2015/2016 post-UTME screening.
“Sequel to this development, the board has
redistributed the other candidates with cut-off
marks less than what their first choice
required to needy institutions.
“The board, equally, urges candidates and
their parents to check its website from Friday,
July 31, 2015 for their names and institutions
they are placed in,’’ the statement said.
According to the statement, universities are
centres of excellence anywhere in the world
and that of Nigeria should not be an
exception.
It said that JAMB was working round the
clock to ensure that Nigerian universities were
among the best in Africa and perhaps the
world in the next ranking.
The statement explained that the board was
also cautious about utilizing the available
spaces in admitting more candidates bearing
in mind the admission criteria of various
needy institutions.
“The Joint Admissions and Matriculation
Board (JAMB) has reiterated that the national
cut-off marks of 180 for universities.
“We also have 150 for Polytechnics, Colleges
of Education and Innovative Enterprise
institutions in the 2015 UTME as a bench
mark to set the tone for 2015 admission
exercise.
“The decision to have a national accepted cut-
off mark at the policy meeting was to serve as
a guide and pruning mechanism.
“It will also give the tertiary institutions
qualitative and manageable candidates to
choose from a pool of candidates desirous of
tertiary education.
“However, universities and other levels of
tertiary institutions are at liberty to go higher,
but not lower, depending on their peculiarities
and the performance of candidates that
choose them,’’ it explained.
The statement added that the board wished to
state that no candidate would be denied any
right to aspire to tertiary education.
According to the statement, the board is
equally aware that some universities have
their own admission cut-off marks acceptable
by the board for the various courses they
offered.
“Please be informed that the board will always
ensure that these institutions apply this cut-
off marks uniformly across all candidates
without discrimination.
“The decision of the board on the print-out for
this year exercise was done in good faith and
not to jeopardize the right of candidates due
to individual cut-off set by some Nigerian
tertiary institutions.
“ Those candidates who do not meet the cut-
off marks of such institutions will be placed in
needy institutions within their geo-political
zone depending on available spaces in such
institutions.
“The board’s aim is to accommodate as many
candidates as possible instead of just pushing
them to schools we know abinitio does not
have the carrying capacity to admit all,’’ the
statement said
The statement wondered that if UNILAG; with
a carrying capacity of about 9,000 candidates
has over 60,000 applying to it , what happens
to the over 50,000 others?
It said that in such occasion, the board would
ensure that there was balance by ensuring
that those remaining candidates who were not
too fortunate to meet the cut-off marks were
also placed in other needy institutions.
According to the statement, candidates are to
note that the policy is only meant to ensure
that every candidate with a reasonable score
of 180 and above is placed somewhere.
It added that Nigerians were also urged to
believe in the board as it continually strives to
give the entire education system the best.
“ We are not comfortable with the large
number of candidates that sits for the Unified
Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME),
year in year out without gaining admission.
“ It is the belief of the board that this policy
will address the shortfall and accommodate
more,” the statement said.

Married In School , Single At Home In Nigeria Universities

The rate at which some girls live with their
boyfriend (student) in their various off
campus is becoming very alarming.

Sometimes, its a pity seeing a beautiful,
promising young girl living with a boy
who is also her fellow student in school
as a room mate (boyfrnd).
The worst part of it is that, if you ask her,
she will open her mouth to tell you that
the boy is her fiance.
You are in school, every weekend you
disappear into tin air and return Sunday
evening or Monday morning in the name
of spending time with your boy friend,
keep flying, a day is coming that your
wings will be so broken on the high way!..
You know what that means…
You leave home telling your parents that
you are resuming school only for you to
now hang on the road camping for weeks
in his place before you finally return to
school, you are doomed I must tell you…
See!… 99.0% of Campus relationships end
at the school gate…. Stop fooling
yourself….
Girls wise up! .its very painful because
their parents are not aware and they keep
collecting house rent from them. Before
you think of living with ur boyfrnd as your
room mate, ask yourself this questions;
Why am I in school?
Does this boy has a plan for his future?
Let alone yours!
What advice will I give to my children in
future?
Where will this wrong relationship take me
to?
* I weep for the young ladies * you call it
school life, but i call it stupidity of the
highest order.
You guys should desist from this ugly
behaviour.
Its bad!!!!

Universities are allowed to go higher than the 180 Cut off mark- JAMB

Following the rancour at the University of
Lagos on Wednesday morning over
admission
scores, the spokesperson of the Joint
Admission and Matriculation Board,
Fabian Benjamin, has said universities are
allowed to go above the National admission
examination cut off mark.
JAMB had announced 180 as the cut off
score for admission into degree
programmes and 150 for national
certificate in education, national diploma
and national innovation diplomas.
But explaining to PREMIUM TIMES, Mr.
Benjamin said a university, depending on
its peculiarities , can raise its cut off mark
above the national recommendation of 180.
In the early hours of Wednesday, hundreds
of Unified Matriculation Examination
candidates stormed the University of Lagos
to protest the decision of the institution to
stop candidates from writing the
forthcoming post UTME.
Many candidates with their parents
gathered at the university gates as early as
7 a.m. chanting solidarity songs,
demanding the removal of the JAMB
registrar, Dibu Ojerinde.
Fred Enejo, a candidate, told PREMIUM
TIMES that students were prevented from
writing the examination to secure
admission into the university.
“We were stopped at the gate simply
because we got below 250 which they
claim is the schools cut-off mark,” he said.
But Mr. Benjamin, explained that the
University of Lagos decided that their cut
off point should be 250 as a means of
getting the best candidates.
“If the University of Lagos has over 25,000
students applying and they have a carrying
capacity of less than 7,000 and has over
15,000 candidates that scored over 250,
why will they take less than 250. It simply
means the university is trying to see how
they can get the best,” Mr. Benjamin said.
He said there was nothing wrong with
what the universitydid as there will come
a time when schools will fix cut off scores
at 300.
Mr. Benjamin added that JAMB will not
take anything less than what was officially
announced as the cut-off score.

How to Prepare for an Exam

As OSUN STATE UNIVERSITY EXAM COMMENCES,we write this article to serve as guidelines for 3080 students while preparing for exam.

1.Decide when to begin. You must
start the process with at least a
full night’s sleep between you and the
exam. Your brain needs time to
subconsciously digest everything you’ve
put into it, so you cannot try to cram it
all in an hour or two before the exam.
The best time to start the process is
between the morning and early
afternoon of the day before your exam,
a good 24-36 hours prior to the start of
the test.

2. Read through the entirety of your
notes that will be on the exam. If
it’s two pages or twenty pages, this is
important. It will refresh you on the
subject matter and help you remember
what you learned. It will also help to
make you aware of all the little bits of
information and where they are located
within your notes so that you know
where to find them when you begin to
organize the information.

3. Once you have a sense of where
everything fits together, you are
going to want to start thinking about
how you can group all the information
into relevant sections. You will also
want to think about how you want to
group them, be it based on a specific
theme, chronology or by concept.

4. When you have identified the major
themes, now is the time that you
can use Wikipedia or other online
sources to fill in the gaps of information
that either you missed or which wasn’t
explained clearly. You can now use the
theme that you discovered to guide your
research and help you determine what
information is relevant to the test.

5. By now you should have all the
information that you will need to
study written out and divided by topic
onto separate pieces of paper. This is
the point at which you can begin
creating a narrative from the
information and indexing it in a way
that it can be easily remembered on the
day of the exam.

6. The method if indexing information
can be thought of like creating an
information tree. Write the major themes
of the exam you came up with onto
separate piece of paper. Those are the
first branches of the tree. Underneath
the themes (which you just determined)
are sub-themes, which are the more
refined groupings of information within
each theme. Below the sub-themes write
the topics.

7. As you start memorizing,
concentrate on one major theme at
a time until you know it well. Once you
have the theme and all the information
below it pretty well memorized, you can
move on to the next one until you have
committed to memory everything you
need to know for the exam.

8. For the first major theme, start at
the top and just read through the
tree. After you have refreshed yourself
with a general understanding of the
information, focus on learning "phrases"
for each topic that will help you recall
what that information was about.

9. After you feel confident that you
know every theme, put down your
studying and take a break from the
subject. The idea is not to try to cram
everything at once into your short-term
memory. You want to give your brain
time to subconsciously internalize all
the information you shoveled at it. For
this reason it’s important to start the
process at least the day before the
exam.

10. On the day of the exam, set your
alarm at least two hours before
the test. An hour and a half before the
exam, start running through all the
themes and sub-topics in your head.
Like always, check your notes if you get
stuck. This is when it’s time to cram—
try as hard as you can to commit all the
tiny details to short-term memory.
You’ll want to try to memorize
everything you’ve prepared, but 15
minutes before the exam, stop! In the
last few minutes you should not be
thinking about the exam at all. Relax
and take a few deep breaths, if you
follow the steps above everything
should be fine!

First Class Graduates To Serve In Universities – NYSC DG

The Director-General, National Youth
Service Corps, Brig-Gen. Johnson Olawumi,
on Wednesday said graduates with first
class degrees would, henceforth, be
deployed to teach in universities and other
tertiary institutions.
Speaking at a two-day pre-mobilisation
workshop for the 2015 Batch ‘B’ NYSC
programme themed: ‘ICT and NYSC
mobilisation process; towards eliminating
identified challenges,’ in Kaduna, Olawumi
stated that the new posting policy was to
properly mobilise the right manpower to
boost the education sector.
He said: “All corps members who graduated
with First Class honours, Distinction
Degrees and Diplomas will be posted to
tertiary institutions for effective utilisation
of their manpower. The posting policy of the
scheme is being vigorously implemented for
the achievement of the desired impact.”
“I, therefore, appeal to the authorities of all
tertiary institutions of learning to
reciprocate this gesture by accepting and
offering them permanent appointments after
service.”
The NYSC Boss disclosed that an online
certificate verification procedure would be
introduced to make participation in the
scheme more transparent. He said that the
verification procedure was to promote
smooth interface between the scheme and
the public.

UNIOSUN Sacked workers ask to be re-instated

Three principal officers whose appointments at
the Osun State University, UNIOSUN, were
recently terminated by the state government
have faulted the action and are asking to be
re-instated, saying they were unduly treated.
The affected staff are Professors Siyan
Oyefeso, Wasiu Gbolagade and Alhaji Fatai
Adebayo Lasisi, the varsity Bursar. They were
among the officers of the varsity including the
Vice-Chancellor, Prof, A B Okesina, who
received various sanctions for their alleged
roles in the crises that rocked the varsity in
recent times.
The state government had, in a white paper on
the report of the visitation panel into the
crises in the varsity, handed down various
sanctions including outright dismissal of the
services of some staff of the institution, which
the affected staff have faulted, saying it failed
all normal norms and asked the state
government to take another look at their
sanctions.
Specifically, they argued that the state
governor, Rauf Aregbesola, may not be privy
to the full content of the various
recommendations contained in the report of
the panel because of the schedule of his
works, alleging that there was a fifth
columnist behind the government white paper
who was out for a purpose.
Threatening to take legal action to seek
redress if the state government refuses to take
another look at their dismissal, the affected
staff said “if Governor Aregbesola critically
goes through the recommendations of the
panel and the government white paper on it,
he would discover that certain elements within
his executive are out on a game plan to
achieve certain purpose for their personal
interest.”

What UNIOSUN Aspirant Need To Know About JAMB New Admission Policy (Eligibility Regulation)

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board
(JAMB) at its 2015 Combined Policy Meeting,
held on July 14, 2015 in Abuja, announced the
adoption of a policy whereby candidates of
universities with surplus applicants for the
Unified Matriculation Examinations (UTME)
are reassigned to other universities with lower
number of candidates than their capacities.
According to the Registrar/CEO of JAMB,
Professor Dibu Ojerinde, the policy portends
two benefits:
It will be beneficial to “needy Universities” that
is universities with lower number of
candidates than their capacities, as this will
ensure that these universities will have more
candidates to admit.
Candidates will have better chances for
admission in the universities they are re-
assigned to, contrary to situations where they
would await admission in the universities of
their first choices until the admission exercise
closes and they forfeit admission in that
session.
This policy has been implemented with
immediate effect. And is currently being used
to determine eligibility of candidates to write
the Post-UTME in their respective choice
institutions.

Educated Illiterates

Affixed to the corner of a lonely enclosure,
pondering really hard on the reason why the
so-called educated figures at times behave,
reason and exhibit as though they are typical
village farmers who have never heard the
dictating voice of a formal teacher. Then why
should we refer to them as “Educated” when
they can’t demonstrate it in every
considerable aspect of life. Maybe we should
just juxtapose the two terms “educated” and
“illiterate” and refer to them by the one
keyword “EDUCATED ILLITERATES”.
First of all, giving a clear-cut distinction
about who is said to be educated. The
question of what really defines an educated
person isn’t necessarily easy to answer but
rather important to try.
An Educated person, according to an average
countryman, is someone who has undergone
a process of learning either in a school or a
form of structured training that results in an
enhanced mental capability to function
effectively and intellectually in novel and
familiar real world situations. Though
according to Harvard School Of Education,
“being educated is different from being
schooled, schooling only gives the cognition
of writing, reading and getting examined
which rarely exceed the long narrow corridors
of the classrooms”.
Also quoting from the words of Napoleon Hill
in his book entitled “Think And Grow Rich”,
“the term Education was derived from the
Latin word “educo” which means to educe, to
draw out, to fathom, and to develop
something out of abundance of knowledge.
An Educated man is one who has so much
developed the faculties of his mind that he
may acquire any knowledge he wants or its
equivalent without violating the rights of
others.
He is that man who knows how and where to
get knowledge when needed and has the
ability to organize and execute it into definite
and reasonable plans of action.”
Not to leave out the term “Illiterate” in the
grey area; According to a layman, an
illiterate is someone who lacks formal
education and thereby unable to read and
write which makes such person limited in
terms of knowledge about what he could
have known by reading written writings.
He is that someone who demonstrates and
have little or no formal education and
thereby, marked with low self-esteem and
inferiority to an expected standard of
familiarity with formal languages and
literature.
Obviously, whenever a vocal cord vibrates
and the word “illiteracy” is voiced, “inability
to read and write” is the first and virtually
the only conclusion that comes into our mind
which often makes us look down on the such
called illiterates as tykes and illiteracy as a
bane of the society. This kind of mentality
needs some changes, its hydra-headed
branches need some cutting, the flooring
needs some scrubbing and new pillars of true
aufklarung needs erecting. Because there is
more to illiteracy than we might really think
it is. According to Alvin Toffler, “the illiterate
of the these days is not someone who cannot
read and write but someone who can not
learn, unlearn and relearn”.
I’ll rather say an illiterate is a man who due
to some unfavourable conditions, fails to
know the fundamentals of a given branch of
knowledge or doesn’t have the basic ideas or
necessary know-how of a particular subject
matter.
Now thinking widely and loudly,what do we
call a renowned lawyer who lacks the ability
to use computers at a somewhat basic level ?
He’s educated,YES!, but a computer illiterate.
What do we also call a Professor Of
Literature in a degree-awarding tertiary
institution who lacks the basic arithmetic and
numerical skills that are required in day-to-
day life and even unable to solve a cheap
quadratic equation to a bearably defendable
minimum? Isn’t that Arithmetical Illiteracy?
What about a doctorate degree holder who
lacks familiarity with his own culture, he
misunderstands common cultural sayings
and goes off track when references are made
to folklores and tales about his own
fatherland ? Obviously an educated cultural
illiterate.
Furthermore,let’s take a look at a man,well
known to be educated but has that mentality
of “the media never lie”.He interprets every
information he gets through the media as
‘true’ and therefore starts spreading it with
the most sincere tone he knows how to
inculcate,one of the reasons why we always
have rumours flying all around ,I suppose
that is media illiteracy.
Yet to be convinced? then thumb through the
mentality of an educated football fan who
says; “the referee was against our team
purposefully because we’re black”,he holds
incorrect and illusional beliefs about races
and tends to spit out damaging stereotypical
sentences like “All northerners are bombers”,
“All white men are rich” and “All chinese can
fight kungfu”, to be brief.These are
expressions of not only prejudice or
ignorance but of sheer racial illiteracy.
Come to think of it, an educated health
worker who out of his non-challant
attitude,throws the wrapper of a just-
consumed snack on the road despite the
knowledge that there are trashcans
conspicously sitting by the road side.The
action seems illiterate and affirmatively,it is!
Lastly, let’s take a look at a man who is
blessed with fancy educational degrees and
materialistic luxuries but the nucleus of his
mind is nothing better than that of a rural
fisherman with tones of electrons of illiteracy
revolving round it.
There are ‘n’ number of such instances that
get us perplexed and tip us into a coma of
enigma if really such people,despite their
formal dexterity and educational
prowess,should be termed “educated”.
This is where the oxymoron “EDUCATED
ILLITERATE” comes handy as the question of
Who,Why and Where they are have just been
given a clearer view of observation which
should settle the wambling in our ever-
inquisitive minds.
Educated illiterates are those who are said to
be educated (schooled) but somehow turn
out to be illiterates when it comes to certain
fields of knowledge,wisdom and subject
matters.
The extreme and absolute limit of education
might be reached by a man, he can never go
beyond the tremendously illimitable and
inimitable buoyancy of illiteracy.
Therefore, standing by laid-down facts,every
single body who claims to be educated must
be an illiterate when it comes to other
aspects of life,be it physical, cultural, critical,
religious or emotional, to mention a few.
So, I think it’s high time we started nodding
to the saying of John Donne that goes like
“no man is an island on his own” and the
words of Socrates,the greek philosopher
which says “the only true wisdom is not the
wisdom that you can’t know or can’t be
everything but the wisdom that you know and
you are virtually nothing”.
Conclusively, it is wholly impossible for a
man to be referred to as totally educated
without a pinch of illiteracy in times of
diversity,well I think I shouldn’t have drawn
my conclusion that fast ,who knows,the great
ones they say,are yet to be born.Perhaps we
might still see that man who will stand so
exclusively out of the crowd and be extolled
by not being referred to as an “Educated
Illiterate” . But tell that man to be prepared
to have “the intelligence of Albert Eistein, the
business prowess of Donald Trump,the
creativity of Walt Disney, the scientific
knowledge of Robert Hooke, the physique of
Arnold Schwarzenegger, the wealth of Bill
Gates, the athletic ability of Michael Jordan,
the social grace of Jackie Kennedy, the
kungfu moves of Jet Li, the human rights
mentality of Nelson Mandela and the heart of
Mother Theresa” all combined in him. Sounds
impossible right? That’s the nerve which is
so much closer to the truth than we would
like to admit.
Finally, extracting a quote from H.G Well’s
diary, I think this is for all and sundry
“Anyone can be learned, everyone is in some
ways analphabetic .We must be intolerant
and cautious of ignorance, but we must have
the understanding of illiteracy as one of
those day-to-day norms we can never boycott
no matter the level of education”.

How to Run a Business As a Student

Any college student can run a successful
business doing what you love to do. Make
more money than you would even after
college, get high grades, and have enough
time left to party and enjoy your life. It’s
not impossible, or extraordinarily hard to
do; thousands of college students, living
around the world and right here at home,
have taken this head start on life, their
matters in their own hands, controlling
their own destiny, and run successful
businesses.
Steps
1.Ask yourself, “What do I love doing so
much that I would pay to do it?” Imagine
that it is Saturday afternoon and you have
nothing to do. Sitting on your couch,
inspired by the task-less day, you feel
relaxed and comfortable. After you spent
the whole week living in an overloaded
schedule, spending countless hours in
classes, dealing with various day to day
dramas, and working to make those few
hundred bucks so you can enjoy life more,
today you’re free. You do whatever you
truly love doing. Suddenly, your mood
happy, light, and energized, time begins to
fly and you find yourself in your own
world. What are you doing? Do you want
to get paid for it?
2.Ask, “How can I help someone by doing
this? Who would pay me for the help?
And, how much would they pay?” Answer
as specifically as possible; for example,
instead of saying “people who want their
kids to have better grades,” say “families
who make over $100,000 a year, and want
their kids to get all A’s, would eagerly pay
me $50 an hour to help their kids learn
my favorite subject.” Check out CraigsList
to see roughly who’s paying for what kind
of help. Don’t you think helping more and
more people, over and over, for more and
more money can help you live the way you
want to live?
3.Get your first clients. Talk to your
friends, family, and coworkers first. Don’t
try to “sell” anyone, to try to convince
everyone you run into that they need you.
Rather, knowing that there are people out
there who will eagerly pay for what you
have, and all you have to do is find them,
let people know what you do, who usually
would use your help, and ask them if
anyone they know has expressed a need for
such help.
4.Ask everyone you talk to, “What
problems have you had with a person who
does what I do? What would you like
people like me to do better?” Eliminate the
problems, and do what the people want
you to do. You will immediately be
smarter than 95% of businesses that are
operating today, and will become infinitely
more successful. Remember the
fundamental law of Economics, people will
happily pay you to give them something
they truly want and can buy.
5.Say, “What else would I need to learn
to help people even better and to reach
my goals?” It is a fact that 95% of new
businesses close their doors within their
first 5 years. What if you could guarantee
your success? With a dedication to
learning everything you can about
reaching your goals and dreams, reading
books, actively seeking advice from others
who have succeeded, striving to do
everything even better, you will literally
guarantee that you will get to where you
want to go.

the Ministry of Education,
McJohn Nwaoibala, has said.

public exams in Nigeria.
“We can be counted as one of the top 10 in
the world as far as conducting public
exams is concerned,” he said.
Mr. Eze noted that the transition to CBT is a
firm commitment by JAMB to ensure that
the best practices in the mode of assessment

One Way Out Of Being Broke As A Uniosun Student

When you lack purchasing power, get inferior
in quality or insufficient in amount, check the
price tag of a shirt you would love to rock,
and then sadly walk away – You are broke.
Money can’t buy you happiness they say, I
believe that is something the rich tell the
poor to make them feel better about being
broke. Though not everyone has blue blood
running through his/her vein but being broke
is a joke you shouldn’t laugh to.
As a Uniosun student, if there’s anything you would
love to avoid apart from exams, being broke
is the answer. Imagine being stranded with
no liquid or cash in air and you see others
chilling, buying things like they own the
central bank. Several thoughts, whether good
or bad, stimulating or depressing, deadly or
lively will flash through your broke mind. To
avoid this ugly situation of being broke as a
student on campus, here is a piece for you.
Take a step against it . You can’t just lie in
your room playing FIFA on a borrowed laptop
and keep updating status like “ Broke tinz, but
Money no go sweet if owu no dey, God bless ma
hustle, amma buy a mansion soon “. God bless
what hustle? Which mansions are you
buying? While lying lazily in your room? You
need to work against it if you really want to
walk away from it.
And when I say “You need to work against it
and hustle“, it does not insinuate that you
should drop your primary objective of being
in school and run after money. If you are or
want to be a student-hustler, then something
you need to understand is that there should
be a striking balance between your education
and your quest to make cool cash. So you
need to control your mindset and get it ready
with the determination that your hustling
must not affect your academics.
Having understood this, Identify any skill you
have . Can you sew? Can you style hair? Can
you barb? Can you repair phones and
laptops? Can you tweak androids to students’
benefits? Can you teach? Or you are the type
that does not care to sell petty stuffs in the
hostel?
Then Monetize your skill , get a system, type
an advertisement notice with a very big font
size that reads like “Repair and format your
phones – Call 080******** ” or “ Barb your hair at
#50- Adeogun Hostel , Block 6, Room102 ” or “G et
MTN 200gb for #400 – Call John the guru on
070********* ” or ” Buy fufu wey strong like rock
at room204 – #20 “. Before you know it, you
will be earning something that you can
survive with per day, at least being broke
won’t be your portion again.
Also, take advantage of the free things
offered by your campus . Does your campus
offer free rides on public transportation or provide free wifi internet? Use
it and stop forming rich dude which you are
not. Try to choose your entertainment from
some of the many free or low cost activities
afforded by you. If you hear any case of free
food, be the first to get there.
Conclusively, know the weight of your pocket,
avoid unnecessary spending like eating at the
cafeteria and if you can’t cook, here are the
alternatives . Manage your little income with
common sense and as a guy, avoid spending
for girls unnecessarily, else…… conclusion
withheld.

Why Students Carry Over Courses in Osun State University

Carry Over, if asked to be defined by a
layman, would be said to be the act of holding
or supporting a rigid body over a surface or
simply the act of propelling or giving impetus to
something . But ask a Uniosun student, the
first meaning of carry over that comes to his
innocent mind is that “ ‘carry-over’ is similar
to ‘failure’ in Nigerian Institution . It’s the act of re-taking a failed
course or subject in the next or another
subsequent semester.” So, to ‘carry over’ a
course, means to re-take the same course
some other time. The reasons of which we
are going to consider in this write-up. So, sit
back, take a chill pill, lessen your grasp on
the worry of the content of the post and read
along some of the reasons Why Students
Carry Over Courses In Osun State University .

EXCESSIVE CHILLING WITH
FRIENDS AND HANGING OUTS
:
Say me hi to the social
fanatics, shoutout to the party
freaks and all hands in the air
for those who are always
around friends day in day out.
Before you start throwing onine
stones at me, I didn’t in any
way say you should not chill
with your friends, but there is
time for everything. The
paragraph you could have read,
instead of laughing out loud in
a friend’s place or holding a
girl’s waist in a departmental
party, might have gotten you
out of failure and saved you
from carrying over the course.

LECTURER’S VICTIMIZATION
:
Our students are not that poor
in terms of academics! No! I
refuse to believe! Then, how
come they still carry over
courses? Actually, some
lecturers are just deliberately
wicked. They derive joy in
failing students. And perhaps,
our lecturers brag with “ Who has
the highest number of carry-overs
in the course he/she is taking”
when their meeting comes up.
Some lecturers also fail
endowed female students who
disagreed to yield to their
sexual wishes, let’s stop it
there.

NOT PREPARING WELL FOR
EXAMS
:
If you do not read, do not
expect miracles. Well miracles
happen at times, you might try
it if you think you are the lucky
type . I won’t advise it though.
Therefore, learn how to prepare
for exams .

NOT STUDYING PAST
QUESTIONS
:
This is the best bet when it
comes to preparation for
exams, it might save you a
whole lots of time reading a
very huge textbook aimlessly,
thereby going off point by
covering a syllabus you
wouldn’t even need in 10years
time. That’s why you see some
really brilliant students still
carrying over courses, they read
all day, off topic, not knowing
what could probably be set in
the exams. Trust, Past
questions help .

NOT ATTENDING LECTURES
:
Students who evade or probably
avoid classes are more exposed
to carrying over courses. The
reason behind this is not so
far-fetched and mind-numbingly
obvious. Although some
lecturers teach directly from
PowerPoint and find a means
to get the slides within the
reach of the students. This
makes it tempting for students
to skip class, they just
download the lecture slides,
and learn the materials on their
own. You might probably get
away with this in easy courses,
you’ll face problems in
challenging ones. By skipping
class, you miss out on a few
important things:
Detailed oral explanations from
the lecturer which are keys to
understanding the material
The chance to ask questions
and listen to the questions of
other students and the answers
Announcements and
assignments
Opportunities for extra marks
e.g Attendance
It sounds like a no-brainer, but
it’s too important to not
mention. Skipping class can
make you look bad in the eyes
of your lecturer especially if it’s
a small class and the lecturer
knows most of his students.
Since grades are somewhat
subjective, it’s a good idea to
avoid irritating the person who
will be handing out the marks.
Mind you, that 10marks you
could have probably gotten
from your attendance could
shoot you from an F to an
E scape grade.

HEALTH CONDITIONS
:
If you have ever experienced a
severe case of malaria during
the exam or test period then
you should know what I’m
talking about. You are not
expected to write something
reasonable inside that question
paper while you are feeling so
cold and shaky as an effect of
a sickness.

SPIRITUAL CIRCUMSTANCES
:
Those who do not know or
probably do not want to
succumb to the cause of their
carry over will nod aggressively
in approval to this like “YES!
Some witches are following me,
that’s why I failed! “. Well,
probably true, that’s why in
every thing you do, you involve
your God.

How to Decide on a Career Field !!! (Uniosun Aspirants)

 

Career is defined by the Oxford English Dictionary as a person's "course or progress through life (or a distinct portion of life)". In this definition career is understood to relate to a range of aspects of an individual's life, learning and work. Career is also frequently understood to relate to the working aspects of an individuals life e.g. as in career woman. A third way in which the term career is used to describe an occupation or a profession that usually involves special training or formal education,^[1] and is considered to be a person’s lifework.^[2] In this case "a career" is seen as a sequence of related jobs usually pursued within a single industry or sector e.g. "a career in law" or "a career in the building trade".

1.Begin by determining what you like to do.
A lot of people look to others to determine their career paths: teachers, parents, neighbors, and peers. Think about people you respect and what they do for work. Take time to map out your wants and to match your skills with skills that are actively sought within certain fields of work. This will involve a fair bit of research work but it is well worth it.


2.Identify the skills you use when you're doing the thing(s) you enjoy.
Look at the things you are good at doing already. These will give you a very good indication of what you are likely to enjoy doing by way of a career. For instance, perhaps you like being with animals. Already this simple but important enjoyment opens up a very broad field of work for you that encompasses such possible jobs as caring for animals, veterinary work, animal advocacy, transporting animals, calming animals (e.g., horse whispering), making animal clothing and feed items, running a pet store, etc. Once you have identified a potential field, you are then ready to match your skills.

3.Think of fields broadly.
A field of work is far more than a single job. It is an area in which many jobs or trades are possible and you should be able to consider your training and interests in terms of looking for a career path that will give you a shot at at least five related types of jobs that are available within that field. For instance, if you learn engineering, you might consider being an engineer out in the field (such as oil production), a manager of a site, an office manager, a trainer of engineering skills and a consultant in engineering. Or, if you study law, you may want to be a lawyer in a large law firm, a lawyer in a non-profit organization, a team leader in an office of any type (even non-law), a manager of a company or a writer of corporate compliance manuals. Realize that the breadth of the field will be determined in part by the training you receive and also by your own personal, up-to-date "skills set", as well as your willingness to try new things and to be retrained.

4. Consider cross-field work.
When working out what you would like to be and what you will need to study to get to this point, give consideration to the possibilities involved in crossing fields; for instance, many teachers are good with word skills and hence make excellent editors and publishers. Think outside the square your title bestows (or will bestow) upon you.

5. Learn as much as possible about the qualifications required for fields that interest you.
Library, Internet and direct contact research will be required here. It is also helpful to ask your school, local community services, university, etc. for assistance in career choices and development. Your thorough research will help you to determine quickly which areas you want to study in, as well as the depth of study required. Dig deep and look at third and fourth year subject/skills training requirements as well, so that you don't find any nasty surprises awaiting you, such as additional time or harder skills that do not match your interests or abilities.

6. Find people who work in the field and learn from them.
Once you have worked out which specific jobs interest you, speak to those already working in these areas. This will enable you to hear their suggestions and to ask them what they like and dislike about the field in which they work. Sometimes you may even have an opportunity to do some work experience with a place that interests you, to help you to "get a feel" for the work involved.

7. Evaluate your choice of field according to your own perceptions and the information you have gathered.
Assess the comments you've received, weigh these up with your research work and add in your own feelings about your potential career path. This is now the time to decide whether this career continues to appeal to you. Do not forget to include the type of lifestyle you would like in the balancing equation. If you make enormous compromises as to the type of lifestyle that you ultimately want, you may be unhappy and live to regret this. As such, it is wise to try and combine your career choice with a lifestyle balance, with minor or short-term compromises rather than major, long-term ones.

8.Sign up for an educational or training program in the career of your choice.
While studying, do not neglect to take advantage of networking opportunities and chances to work in your career field either as a volunteer or in short-term paid positions. These opportunities will give you the best possible feel for the work and the types of people in the field that you will be working with. It will help you to filter out any unneeded areas of study or to take on additional subjects and skills training that may be of possible use and could help to extend your horizons.

9. Keep positive.
When you are finally trained and ready to find that dream career, the most important thing is to maintain a positive outlook about your life and to be ready for change, difference and shifts in your comfort zones. This is the real world and it moves rapidly; it is important to keep up with changes and to take a positive approach by making opportunities out of challenges. However, always keep what is unique about you because at the end of the day, that is the special something many employers are looking for while they choose from many skilled and educated workers available to them.
