List Of Things You Need And Don't Need In Higher Institution. by leonard509(m): 12:13am On Sep 27, 2016
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.

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.

Don't be a triangular student, pass through school and allow school pass through you.


Op, No enemy placed anything for any student. Read your books and pass your exams. Back in school we relied so much on 'praying and fasting' while our nonreligious friends read their books. They had 1.1 and heavy 2.1 while some of us had soft 2.1 and 2.2, 3rd, pass. Don't be too religious in school.

Nice compilation o.p

* You also don't need to be a member of every group available in school

*Create a special time to attend to your social media notifications. Don't always be in a hurry to reply Whatsapp,facebook,bbm messages except they are extremely important. Don't be online every time.

My share:
Try to be competitive with your good friends in terms of studies but avoid fashion wears, boasting and pessimism.

Great piece of advice. Now this is a great way to start a day and not some irrelevant news . It is my prayer that all those believing God for admission this year shall all be admitted.

Honestly, after reading yr introductory line, i felt it was one of those mediocre guys giving excuses again... but after a little more lines I've realized,my brother, you're 100% right... it's good to desire... but obsession obscures the view.. the desire for a 1st shld be channeled into PLANNING, PRAYERS and STUDY... not just thinking and talking abt it...Plan for it... Work for It... and Study for it... don't just talk abt it to half your department (hey, hi I must make this first class ooo). Rather, make plans... and attain success with God's divine help. ThankYou

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.

Success is inevitable

You also need a pair of a pen and pencil, a new school bag, a long lasting food basket, a couple of black socks(whites get dirty effortlessly) and most importantly, a pair of the new sandals in vogue, timbaland!
