Those days they used to tell us "Don't make friends in school, don't party, don't chase after girls, don't go to parties. Just read your books".

That's a bad advice. You need to socialize while in school, its part of the learning process. Lots of fruitful friendships and partnerships begin in school.

The problem is that most students lack the ability to prioritize and apportion their time and resources well. You're not gonna read for 24 hours daily.
But u shud have a schedule, and make sure u stick to it. Don't play when u shud be studying, don't be somewhere else when u shud be in the lecture room. Discipline is the watch word.

You don't need God either
you need God in every area of your life but don't be too over religious in such a way that you're a youth pastor of your school branch.when lectures is going on you're I church doing prayer meeting.

When your mates are reading in the library you're going for night vigil

I'm not saying attending religious functions is bad but not at the expense of why you're in school

You will be going for church fellowships when you should be doing an assignment and then you expect God to do a miracle. There's time for God and there's time to do your work and get busy with your school responsibilities

lol.I remember one of my relatives who just got into school and started dating a cult boy.we all warned her but she said the same thing in that picture so everyone minded their buisness. She hardly attends classes,the boy was always taking her to club,introduced her to weed etc.apparently she knew the guy was a cultist but was still dating him anyway because according to her he was romantic and good in bed.

When she got to 300level a cult clash broke out,she was expelled alongside with other cultists including her boyfriend because they thought she was a cultist. No explanation and appealing delivered her that day

Eventually she went to go and learn make up,opened a makeup studio and she's doing well for herself. The point is if you're in school don't forget yourself and be rolling with the people who's purposes don't align with yourself and if you don't want to go to the university or you think you're not intelligent enough after failing jamb severally abeg don't waste your parents money and your time.just go and learn a skill,focus on it and be an entrepreneur,develop yourself and attend seminars that relate with the buisness you're doing in other to help you sharpen your skill and compare your work with others to see where you need improvement

So whether or not you're a graduate it doesn't matter in today's economy. The issue is what do you have to offer

What it takes to suceed isn't numerous certificates that will only prepare you to be an employee for life

It takes intelligence wisdom and taking advantage of opportunities at the right time

Yes it's good to come out with first class
2.1 is beautiful

But all that is as good as decorations if you don't work on yourself and know what you want and how you want to achieve it before entering the university

Listen to your parents even if they're not educated.I remember the son of a moi moi seller was giving her son advise about what to do in othet not to loose his job and he dismissed it because to him the mother doesn't know anything in the career world since she didn't even go to secondary school

Not only has he lost his job he is relying on the same illiterate woman's money to use in searching for another job

When you're in school stay away from drunkeness
Excessive clubbing
attending strip clubs (that is a den of cultist haven including campus prostitutes )
Stay away from weed.you feel good when you start but it has negative health implications
fuckig every girl that catches your fancy. Till you catch std you won't know
Stay away from gambling too.you will only attract campus robbers

Look at all the world shakers economically. Both local and globally how many of them are graduates.the only thing similar in all what is peculiar to them is self preparation for opportunities

The Labour market is getting more tensed and stressed .the demand for jobs are higher than the supply. Every year universities all over the world keep churning out graduates both employable and unemployable so it's not an issue of first class.the world has seen the vanity in first class.some of them cannot even deliver at work,they'll be doing like programmed robots. They cannot apply theory into practical

Moreso back in the days when there was no population explosion that before you finish school jobs are waiting for you that was when first class and 2.1 had value to employers because jobs supply was more than job demand.

We're living in different and uncomfortable times now so wake up to reality

As technology keeps advancing so does economic stress recession etc

My piece of advice;

Pray everyday b4 going out for lectures, tests or exams. pray against spirit of distractions and spirit of errors.

Prepare for every test like it is your exam and study for exam like you missed all ur tests.

Never take things too slightly be it registration or submission of documents or fixed classes.

Try to avoid "dubbing" assignments. Do them by yourself. Man lmao who tf does an assignment? Snap and copy sure pass grin but I read very hard for exams tho #goodStudent

Success is inevitable

Don't keep girlfriends, don't do this, don't do that.

Everything is just crap!

Learn to use your time well and every other thing will fall in place.

I'm a student. I have a girlfriend, I attend social events occasionally and I still create time for my studies. I've not had any reason to regret cos my results are still going well.

The major thing is discipline. Cos there are many people who follow this advise and are still being fücked up in school. It's not about listing do's and don'ts.

Well anything for the front page. undecided

We are in the "new session" season if i'm not making a mistake. Admission lists are being released here and there, students are already saddling their horses. Good, congrats to all of you or rather "them".


Here are lists of things you don't need in higher institution.

1. Unnecessarily expensive stuffs: if you are not investing in any of your belongings then they don't need to be too expensive. don't buy em just to show em off, they'll be stolen, you'll be a target and your mind will be divided. Check out someone who's in 100lvl with Iphone 7, laptop worth over 250k, fancy clothes and everything. they'll not be the same when any of them gets stolen or missing. But if you make everything simple i.e buying less flashy/costly so long they do what you want them to do, you're good to go.


2. Friends(many): please when you resume , dive straight into your books/studies and not into making new friends, trust me you'll have a lot of time to do that but not in your early days ind higher institutions. Some schools have a way of flushing out students whose performance are poor in their early years(not everybody makes it to final year), and many students who unfortunately fall under this category are those with tonnes of friends who are of no good. they know how to flex and you'll follow suite anytime they are going out, some of these folks have their future already planned out by their parent and them getting kicked out of school has no effect on it. So be very careful in making friends, if that person will not help you achieve great things then fashi them.


3. Comfortable apartments: Students who don't have refrigerators, flat-screen hdtv, air conditioners, satellite dishes in their rooms at home will want to install them in their rooms in school. wtf is that? you'll see them going extra miles(sleeping around) to acquire them.when they finally do they'll become too comfortable to even think of their future, ladies will make their home theirs, their home will turn to flexing joint. My dear friend you don't want to be them. live a simple life, a fan is okay for ventilation, a laptop is okay for visual entertainment and study. you don't fvcking need a fridge nah. you are a student, get your cold stuffs where your mates are getting theirs from, don't be too comfortable now else you'll forget that you're supposed to build your future..


4. life partners: yes i said it.. you don't need a fiancee or whatever is close to that. mostly they'll be distractions. you'll see a nigga in class reading a textbook alone(he's doing good cos you see him occasionally flipping em pages), but when his diva shows up and that's the end, study is over, they'll chat till the girl says "i'm going back to the hostel, escort me". the guy will not object, he'll pack up and follow his mistress. i've heard a girl say "i don't study in class, i enjoy studying in my room instead", and guess what, she came to visit her boy who was studying in class, who prefers studying in class, who needs not be disturbed cos he's studying. please face your studies, and let GOD find your life partner for you.


These are the few i've got under this category, feel free to add yours.



NOW!! list of things you need.


1. GOD: trust me you need him by your side to destroy whatever your enemies has placed for you. not everybody out there is human, so you need him to take control and protect you.

2. Food: Buy enough food with your pocket money, you don't want to study when you're hungry and don't have food, cos you've probably spent all your money and you've ran out of foodstuff cos you bought little and thought you'll survive on cash.

3. Android phone or a laptop: both should be of moderate price, so you'll be able to access em E-Books that'll be flying around.

4. Good Clothing so you'll at least look responsible.

5. Friends(few good few): you need the ones that'll help you succeed that's all.

6. Headphones: you need em loud music when you're feeling down, when you're in a noisy class and you need to study( organised noise(music) is better than unorganized ones, trust me.


that's all i have for now, feel free to add yours.
OP God bless you.some of this students just want to intimidate others with this kind of life style.

You dont need to be obsessed with "first class" :

Now dont get me wrong, first class is a nice grade to come out with but in the process, dont let it be your main aim, pursue excellence not success, if you pursue excellence, success will pursue you, what i mean is, dont go to school just to cram, cram and cram, rather understand every bit and pieces you are being taught, that way you will be both excellent and successful, I know of some people that were obsessed with first class in our 100l, in 200l they got obsessed with "2 – 1" after so much struggle they said "2 – 2" is not a bad grade at 300level and in 400level all they want is to graduate.

Pursue excellence, success will pursue you.







It's all about determination and discipline.

This is horrible advice as far as the friends part is concerned. You do not need to know the whole school and be popular but it is very essential you make good friends and meet the right people that would help you build up your future.
