This is getting messy o. At the end of the day, we may find out that majority of Nigerians are actually corrupt

Possible4you:
As students, we all want our cumulative grade point average (CGPA) to be high so as to graduate with either first class or second class upper.

There actually might be, but am not sure there is any student that wants to graduate with a second class lower not to talk more of a third class.

Here are some principles I have listed that would be of good help to you in achieving your aim of graduating with a very high CGPA.

Make Up Your Mind

If you really want to make a good CGPA, the first thing you would have to do is to make up your mind. In making up your mind, I mean that you should know within yourself that what you are about to undertake won’t be so easy. There are some things you would have to drop in order to achieve your aim. Things like playing a lot, watching movies and some other things apart from reading that takes your time. I am not saying that you should stop playing neither did I say you should stop watching movies but you should minimize the rate at which you do all those things.

Time Management

This aspect is very important as it is a priority of every student. For you to be able to excel, you have to be time conscious. Some students neglect the use of reading time table but I would like to advise that reading time table is very necessary for a every student. It would help you to carry all your courses along and not to focus on only one course.
Make a time table of what you want to do each day and at the end of the day, check out whether you were able to accomplish them.

For you to make a good reading time table you need your lecture time table. This would enable you to know the particular course you are meant to read each day so that you may not read the right thing at the wrong time. Also make a time table of the activities you want to do each day apart from reading and don’t allow those activities to encroach into your reading time table.

Accept The Fact That You Know Nothing

According to a very known philosopher, Socrates, “All I Know Is That I Know Nothing”. With this I don’t mean you should start calling yourself an OLODO but you should not say that you know a particular course very well so as not to read or focus on that course. When I was in my 100 level, I use to say that I know mathematics very well and that made me not to read my mathematics book.

The day of test came and after the test, I knew within me that I did not do well in the test but I still maintained the fact that I knew mathematics very well not until a night before maths exam that I decided to read mathematics. I opened the book to read and found out that those things I thought that I knew, I knew them no more. I had to read till daybreak and went for the exam. When the result was out, I got a C grade instead of the A grade that I thought I would get.

People would say “experience is the best teacher” but I am telling you to learn from other people’s mistakes that you may not experience that same mistake.
Never you for anything downgrade any course unless you might experience my mistake or even worst than that.

Focus

This aspect is also as important as the others. Some students would always focus only on one course because the course is too simple for them or maybe the course is too hard for them paying little or no attention to other courses. This is very wrong, for no matter how good you are as a student, you must still have the tendency of forgetting and you can only remember if you read. Remember, when making a reading time table, focus more on those courses that have a higher credit unit for those courses would help boost your CGPA than the lower credit unit courses.

In some higher institutions e.g FUTO,one credit unit courses are more stressful than even the 4 credit unit courses due to the assignments that is been bombarded by the lecturers to the students. This tend to make some students to concentrate mostly on those one unit courses forgetting about their higher credit unit courses.
If you are in this category of students, I would advise you to rather do the assignments that same day it was given so as to avoid it been piled up for you or you do as many as you can another day if you can’t do it that day and endeavor not to loose concentration on your higher credit unit courses.

Read

We all know that as students we are meant to read but there are some things we don’t understand about reading. Some students do read at night simply because their friends read at night not taking into consideration whether they are understanding what the read or not and may end up damaging their reading tables with their head when sleeping.

Before you read, first of all understand yourself and know the right time when you understand what you read. Some understand what they read when they read at at night, some in the day, some very early in the morning.

Some others do read a day before an exam thinking that they can get everything in their brain overnight. I did this when I wrote my maths exam as narrated above but I ended up getting a lower grade than expected. Learn to prepare and read on time so as to prevent the 11th hour rush.

One other thing, as Human beings, our brains need rest so read moderately and also rest your brain (siesta). Don’t also forget to play for it helps develop your brain but don’t overplay.

Pray

For you to be able to be able you make a very high CGPA, you have to prepare yourself both physically and spiritually. Before and after you finish reading, you should pray so as to ask for God’s favour so that you might not easily forget what you read.

I would like to round up with this “Work As If Everything Depends On You And Pray As If Everything Depends On God.”

God bless you.

....that's so gross......this is wat happens to petty burglars

Pavore9:
Once they get to wear the uniform they feel like deities....they ought to be dismissed!

Rossikk:
Thanks for admitting you lack the brains, intellect, and maturity required to partake of this discussion. Now get lost.

Rossikk:
You are raving ignoramus with foam where your brain ought to be. Where you live doesn't imply you know anything. That the majority there are not religious does not obviate the involvement of their political leadership in the occult. You cannot research the topic because you are mentally lazy and not very bright. I also think you're a coward who is afraid to learn things that would alter your worldview.

mya1:
This just confirms it! You're too silly to have a decent conversation with.
You're way beneath me . I am not one to engage in a cyber scuffle. I am too civil for that .

Enjoy your life!

Airforce1:
things women do for money

Smh

mya1:
You didn't have to be so insulting and condescending just to make a point and yea, her response about having stopped learning was indeed sarcastic - it takes a bright mind to see that.

FYI - your sense of humour is DOA.

sugarcoatedben:
I knew somebody was gonna spot that,hahahahahahaha,am sure he got too excited

Dudeweedlmao:
Mehn, i think say na only me notice ohh

kingofchess:
this is very serious......I wish something like this can happen in northern part of nigeria

Seventeen:
i think the sacartic statement she is implying she made is d one about her haven stoped learning. Well i feel so... *shrugging*

myfantasies:
Tanks alot

I am sure you now feel better about urself

myfantasies:
I will really appreciate it if you don't insult me, cos i never insulted u

It's not my fault dat u don't know sarcasm wen u see one

Just cos i come here and have fun does not mean i will tolerate being insulted

myfantasies:
Naaah

I have stopped learning a long time ago

myfantasies:
I don't know please explain it to me

myfantasies:
Ur wife has been poisoning u since 2008 nd u r still alive

Which means she has been using the wrong antidote

Ama80:
it sounds positive but why is d president hesitant?

ijustdey:
A jealous wife from Kerawa in Cameroon has betrayed her husband who allegedly trains girls, arms and sends them as suicide bombers to kill innocent people. The wife who labeled her husband as "Emir of Boko Haram" -says she helped her husband now living in Goche, prepare girls who exploded bombs in Mozogo, Ashigashiya & Kolofata regions in the country.

This was revealed by International investigative journalist -ChiefBisong Etahoben, through his twitter handle.

kingofchess:
guy u r very funny....ask wat? do u really know the hardship people are facing on a daily bases?

kingofchess:
seriously...what is happening in this country...our politicians though.

Makweembo:
I specifically remember Prophet T.B. Joshua on Emmanuel TV last Sunday calling for prayers for Nigeria for this Wednesday. He said that if we prayed, God would answer us and then emphasised prayers again for Wednesday.

Look at what just happened here in Lagos – a Bristow helicopter crashed but reportedly all occupants survived.

Rossikk:
Admit you are too lazy and dumb to research anything that hasn't been forced down your throat by mummy and pastor from childhood. You are a coward who is mentally unable to acquire new insights independently of parental, religious or academic coercion.

Asaib:
Fayose always on point

kobonaire:
Please don't waste your time with him. He watched Harry Porter and then surmised that the "Western governments" all actively practiced witchcraft

Rossikk:
And you lack a working brain. If you dispute what was written, why can't you state so with your own facts?

Rossikk:
Europeans use more 'witchcraft' today than anyone on earth. Go and read about the craze for palmistry, ouija boards, 'fortune tellers' and seers in Europe and America. Go and read about the Illuminati, Skull and Bones, Bohemian Grove etc. Occultism is their weapon. Even christianity is based on occult ideas, principles and practices.

I thought a government do not recognize such?
