Burger01: Arrested for over reading... never heard of this..

chairman re u with us?

mascot87: I had a similar issue while I was in school,I was so into what I was reading when suddenly,the librarian asked me to leave the library. I objected initially but when I noticed that trouble is about to erupt,i have to leave the library. I can't blame the guy because sometimes when you are reading and it interests you soo much, you wouldn't want any iota of disturbance. I wish him best of luck in his exams

Cool Story!

Those of us blaming and insulting the school should know this.

Too much of everything is bad. Likewise reading, as it might lead to brain damage.

please the police should watch out for him cos he is coming to school very soon on a shooting spree. police and parents n teachers be on guard.

very impressive but not every one has the capacity to study like that and straights a's isnt always a recipe for success

Too much of everything is Bad.

If na Naija students dey dat school, dem for don arrest every student... read until dey peme..

Nonsense... If the kid wants to die in the library, why not?!

Some people need to be removed from NL and also charged for "obsessive Nairalanding"

Never heard of such thing before in my life

Thats the irony of life. Looking at the boys picture alone is worrisome. An obsessive compulsive disorder isn't good regardless of how you see it. He may go crazy. Its probably good for his health. In Nigeria people over study because the classes actually dont teach nothing. Teachers just come to class and scribble sh!t on the blackboard. One professor to 1500 student. Who studied in IFE will know what it is when you arrive late and the lecture is happening in amphi-theater I can't remember the spelling or proper name of that place if it was Amphi or Afri. You can't even here the professor talking. You can't see the board. You know how many students are with eye defects and can't afford to go see the optometrist/ophthalmologist? When I schooled abroad and saw the difference I realized we didn't need to read like mad-men to know what we are being taught in class. Simple attendance does it.

The lecturers know what they are saying. Imagine entering a lecture room with 'climate control' heats up in winter cools down in summer. All classes with projectors and animation feeds. Just watching the projectiles you good to go if you are not brain dead. Only about 40 of us per class. And professors have hours to consult with students in office. You are not scared of talking to them. They encourage you to come see them whatever your problem is; if you are shy send emails. Classes with wifi. Lecturer responds your email even at nights. I'm surprised was wondering how much they pay the lecturers for such dedication. TO even reply emails at night. Or maybe they just love there jobs! When will Nigeria get to this stage? Free transport for students within campus and campus community. WAR IS COMING IN NIGERIA!

oraclefemi: very impressive but not every one has the capacity to study like that and straights a's isnt always a recipe for success

There is no one definition of success, mind you. One man's measurement of success may be different from another's. Success for someone could mean straight A's; another person's undibitably could be financial/monetary, even if it comes from kidnapping or armed robbery or prostitution.

If people could be made to stay in an enclosure for 91 days because of $200,000 in Big Brother show to achieve fame, why can't a serious student read for straight 8 hours to make the best grade. I respect that guy. I know quite a lot of dullards will not.

School sweet but na exam spoil am.............na him wan guy wan die untop book. Na wha oooo

If he reads too much, he may go mad, too much of something is bad. In everything you do, do with moderation

I heard of someone in Nigeria who was like this Jamie.in secondary school the guy was always reading and even when the exam was over he was still reading...... ...later they found out he had mental issues.

i swear i wish i was like this guy

LEZ KEEP A TAB ON THAT SCHOOL'S NAME......VERY SOON YOU WILL HEAR OF A SHOOTING!!! IT IS ALWAYS THE CASE!!! THAT LIBRARIAN SHUD CONSIDER HERSELF DEAD!!! LOL

Well, too much of everything is bad

May God almighty crown all our efforts.............i tried to be like dis guy when i was in secondary school and my first year in uni,,,,,,,but omo,,at a point,,,,,,,i just stop jare,,,,mi o le wa ku!!!!!

Mine was a funny experience! Studying in nigeria is not easy, hardly do I go to the library to read becausse there were few books in my subject area. While studying for my masters in Nigeria, we used internet sources mostly, plagiarism was very rampant (save for a few lecturers who were strict). While I went over to the UK, because of the cold, I was always in the library to save on my heating bills (at my off campus accomodation). In my first course I blasted A. The more I stayed in the library, the more I found materials. The Library on most days is 24 hours (self service at night). There are vending machines to buy drinks and snacks, vending machines to borrow and return books, fast internet to watch movies and sports (man need a break na).

The system was such that they encourage you to ask questions and they prefer you pass at the first attempt. I never really liked the cold weather so the library was my safe haven. Mind you I still visited the cinemas and gyms; not also shying away from social outings and travels. My first grade was like a motivating factor so na so i graduated within 11 months with a distinction.

... back to topic, the Library guards always came to the group study room (private room) where i read 15 mins before time on closing times. I made them realize UK education is so expensive and I needed to make the best out of my opportunity. The end justifies the means!!!

^^^ praise da Lord!
