what would you say you did differently that made you excel academically?- was it that u were gifted from birth or what?

I don't know how to answer this. Maybe I'm gifted with a higher IQ than some people. I've always been among the best academically. Started taking first position in primary school. I'm always fortunate to move among the top scholars gang (heck of a mixture). But I believe many more others can graduate with a first class or sharp 2.1 if they understand what is required at each level..... I think like 80 percent of Nigerian lecturers are straitjacketed. Some students know more than their lecturers hence poor grades. The most serious student in my class had a 2.2 but he's doing very well overseas.

so you didn't go the extra mile in some courses you don't know or fully understand?, you never attended tutorials, etc... There ought to be something(s) that you did to attain that position.

I was supremely gifted from birth but my CGPA is down in the gutters.
You don't need a high iq to make first class. In certain universities in the west where A starts from 92% and yet there are slightly-above-average students who graduate with perfect CGPA year in year out, so I don't see the hype about some black graduating summa cum laude in some university in a 3rd world country where a 70% grade gives you an A.

Know Your Strengths And Weaknesses And Operate On That Knowledge.

What worked for you in your academics?

“If there was anything at all, it was the fact that I understood myself, particularly my strengths and weaknesses and I operated based on that knowledge. I could read anywhere, provided it was quiet. I assimilate slowly so I used to start reading as soon as lectures commenced so I could read my books several times. I’m an early riser so I used to wake up at 4am for devotion, and then read for some time in the morning. These were fairly constant in my daily activities, and then I attended fellowship many times a week. I didn’t have a specific number of hours for reading. I read for as long as I could and once I began to feel sleepy or experience signs of fatigue, I would go to sleep. I could persevere only when preparing for test or examination.” - Olowofoyeku Esther, FUNAAB’s Environmental Management and Toxicology Graduate (4.73 CGPA ).
