Maturity is more than a matter of age. There are mature 6-year-olds and immature 80-year- olds. Maturity is a matter of how you treat yourself and others. It's how you think and behave. So if you're tired of all of the childish conversations and fighting around you, or you want people to have more respect for you, try some of these techniques to learn how
to become more mature. No matter what age you are, when you are mature, you'll always be the grown-up in the room.


1. Develop your interests. Lacking
dynamic or developed interests or
hobbies might contribute to your seeming
immature. Finding something that you
enjoy doing and becoming an "expert" at it
can make you seem more experienced and
mature. It will also give you something to
talk about with others, whether or not they
also participate in your hobby.

2. Set goals and work towards them.
Part of maturity is being able to
assess your current strengths, determine
areas that you need to improve, and set
goals for the future. Keep the future in mind
and let it inform the choices you are
making about your life right. Once you have
set goals that are clear, actionable, and
measurable, take action to work towards
them.

3. Know when it is okay to be silly. You
do not have to be serious all of the
time in order to be mature. Real maturity is
knowing your audience and figuring out
when it’s appropriate to be silly and when
it’s important to be serious. It’s good to
have different levels of silly so you can
scale your actions appropriately.

4. Be respectful of others. We all have
to live in the world together. If you do
things to intentionally annoy others, or if
you do whatever you want without keeping
the feelings of others in mind, people may
view you as immature. Trying to remember
the needs and wants of other people
around you will help you cultivate a
reputation as a mature and respectful
individual.

5. Pick mature friends. Your friends will
influence your behavior. Make sure
that you're associating with people who
will make you a better person, instead of
spending time with people who only drag
you down.


note: pls no bad comment you are free to make your contribution

“Having breasts was shameful. My grandmother
noticed mine when I was 10. One night, she
made me lie down on a bamboo bed by the fire.
She pressed on me with a hot wooden spatula
and tried to flatten them. Even now, I don’t
want people to touch my chest.” – Jeannette, 28
years old.

very touching .....one just have to be thankful ....where ever u find ur self

“I was eight when my mother told me: ‘Take
your top off. Do you have breasts already? When
a girl your age has breasts, men look at her.’ I
didn’t understand what she was doing. Every
day, sometimes three times a day, she would
flatten my chest with a hot spatula. She would
just say: ‘It’s for your own good.’ It was a
nightmare. I noticed that the more she
massaged me, the more my breasts grew. When
she realized it wasn’t working, she used a rock.
That was hell. It felt like my body was on fire. A
guidance counselor, who I told everything, tried
to talk to my mom and get her to stop. I was
happy because I thought it was over. But she
did it again—with heated fruit pits this time. She
massaged and massaged. I packed my stuff and
moved to my aunt’s immediately. Sometimes, I
try to understand my mother’s actions. It hurts
so much when I look at myself in the mirror.” –
Doriane, 19 years old.

“They tell you: ‘Don’t scream, it’s for your own
good.’ I haven’t had the courage to talk about it
to my children yet. Three days ago, my son
asked me, ‘Mommy, why do you have small
breasts?’ I told him that I didn’t know. I also
have a six-year-old daughter. But I’m not ready
to talk about it. I would have loved to
breastfeed a future president.” – Carole N., 28
years old.

“When my breasts started to grow, people in my
house began to talk about it. Neighbors, my
mom’s friends, our elders. So much talking!
Even I started to feel ashamed because people
were talking about it. Eventually, my mom
decided to iron my breasts. ‘If we don’t iron
them, it will attract men. And we know that men
mean pregnancy,’ she said. We needed to kill
those breasts, she claimed. She used hot rock
on my right boob, then the left, then the right.
This went on for weeks. I suppose she meant
well. Breasts are what makes a woman
beautiful, though. Today, mine are flabby. They
can’t even stand.” – Carole B., 28 years old.

Cameroonian women and girls whose chests
were ironed with hard and heated objects by ther
mothers in a traditional practice tell their
heartbreaking stories.

Breast ironing is the pounding and massaging of
a pubescent girl’s breasts, using hot tools, to try
to make them stop developing or to
disappear. It is typically carried out by family
members who are trying to protect the girl from
sexual harassment and rape. They hope it will
aslo prevent early pregnancy that would tarnish
the family name, or to allow the girl to pursue
education rather than be forced into early
marriage.

It is mostly practiced in parts of Cameroon,
where boys and men may think that girls whose
breasts have begun to grow are ready for
sex. The most widely used implement for breast
ironing is a wooden pestle normally used for
pounding tubers. Other tools used include
leaves, bananas, coconut shells, grinding stones,
ladles, spatulas, and hammers heated over
coals.

“Every morning, before going to school, my mom
makes me lift up my top so she can make sure I
haven’t taken my bandage off. It’s been two
years now and she still checks it on a daily
basis. It’s humiliating. I’d like her to stop. When
I grow up, I want to be a lawyer or play piano. I
hope that wearing this bandage will help me to
continue my education.” – Cindy, 14 years old.

hmmmm

An inside look at the Nigerian Examination Hall has exposed a lot of funny and bizarre sorts of students existing in this noble country of ours. If you have ever been a student, or are still a student in Nigeria, you’ll be in a better position to understand what I am talking about here. You must have as well come across some of them, but the fact is that there are more to see – the strangest and funniest fellows ever. Never forget, examination, especially in Nigeria is no joke at all; it’s actually one of the most serious businesses. This may give the explanation to why we’ve got these sorts of human beings in our exam halls. Make sure your ribs are strong enough to avoid cracking! Here are the kinds of people you’ll unfailingly meet in Nigerian Exam halls:

1. THE GIRAFFES



The giraffes are those people who go for neck elongation exercises before the exams commence. They automatically become wind vanes inside the hall because they possess the professional ability to turn their necks to the four cardinal directions – East, West, North and South. These type of people need not talk to you nor beg for answers. With the help of their keen eagle eyes, they hang on to whichever direction they could get the desired results – answers of course. And before you know it, they’re done.

2. THE PARASITES

These are the empty-headed dependents. They are bent on sucking out the whole answers from people who have suffered to study and never making any form of contribution. They are capable of sourcing answers from wherever possible and before you know it, their answer script is filled up. At the end of the day, they may end up scoring higher than the people that supplied the answers.

3. THE FIRST FINISHERS

The funny thing about these people is that most times, they are not the intelligent ones. Sometimes, you’d be wondering where they got the answers from. The main focus of such students is just to finish before everyone else, hoping they’ll be tagged brilliant when they do so. On some other occasions, they are people who came into the hall with already made answers which they just download as fast as possible without bating an eyelid. They rush out of the hall celebrating false victory. Lol!



4. THE GENIUSES

I’ll love to call them the ‘well loaded Gurus’. They are well prepared and before the examiner is done with distributing the question papers and answer scripts, they’ve gone half way in answering the questions to the amazement of those sitting around them. They are the blazers whose pen would continue to move at an incredibly fast speed from the beginning to the end of the exam. They leave people’s jaws dropping when they demand for extra sheets for an exam that may not cover half of the provided answer scripts of their counterparts.

5. THE SELFISH/WICKED ONES (“Ndi Obi Akpo”)

These set of people will never be willing to give out a little of what is in their brain, they are always looking for ways to add to theirs. They are the ones that will not mind being called childish because they’ll prefer to fold their answer scripts ten times to make sure you never had a glimpse of what they are writing. Even if you are friends with such a person, the exam hall is counted out. If you dare disturb such people more than they could contain, they’ll just be dishing out wrong answers to you, so the best thing is to swallow the attitude and overlook them

6. THE HYPOCRITES

These people are chameleons. They come into the hall as saints but change colours as the exam progresses. They are experts at exhibiting opposite behaviours within intervals to escape being caught in whatever atrocity they’re committing. This sort of people are never caught come what may because they look so innocent and are abreast with all sorts of cover up techniques. At the beginning, they tend to turn prayer warriors, calling all the host of angels to come down and take control, only to start using ‘omokirikiri’ sooner than later.

7. THE SCAPEGOATS



These are poor fellows that will forever be caught for one malpractice or other. If they didn’t come into the hall with forbidden materials, they’ll exhibit an unwanted behaviour. They try to cheat whenever they can, but are always unsuccessful because they are terrible at it. On some occasions, they are sent out of the exam hall and that’s the end of the exam for them.

8. THE CONFUSED FELLOWS

I think this set of people are one of the most sympathetic in the exam hall. Their confusion starts immediately they get the question papers. I don’t know if you’ve noticed? They are those ones who’ll start with borrowing pen. He’ll turn in your direction and say: “Bros, abeg, u get extra pen?” After that, they’ll start flipping through their answer scripts as if they’re searching for something. Most of the time, these people studied before the exams but they just get everything muddled up from the word go. They attempt almost all the questions but never complete any. Even when the atmosphere is conducive enough, these kind of people cannot bring out their ‘expo’ (if they have any) nor get answers from any possible source. And when they ever remember what to write, they’ll turn to you to spell every word for them. They’ll continue to hop from question to question, answer to answer with a bewildered face like that of someone abandoned at the middle of a ‘T’ junction, until the time is up!

9. THE ‘JUJU’ MASTERS



Don’t be surprised when I mentioned ‘juju’. Yes, you’ll also find this in our exam halls. They are the ones that come into the hall with mystical pens, handkerchiefs and all other forms of supernatural influences. The invigilator may notice their strange attitude but will never be able to pin point what they’re actually doing wrong. They succeed in getting answers supplied to them through one magical means or the other, to the astonishment of those sitting around who’ll never understand what transpired. The ‘juju’ masters, or rather call them ‘magicians’ can come into the hall with as many extraneous materials as they want but will never be caught. They will do to the invigilators what we call, “the more you look, the less you see!”

10. THE DESPERATELY SMART DUDES

They come into the hall with their minds made up to succeed through any possible means. Any how, they’ll scale through the exam successfully. These ones are so smart that they need not beg for the answers, they know how to use you before you even notice or take offence. They are fishes, eagles and serpents altogether. They could be aggressive if you are uncooperative and if care is not taken, you’ll get yourself implicated while they go scot-free.


11. THE FATHERS/MOTHERS OF FAITH



I call it dead faith – faith without works! You may not have come across these sort of people, but I bet you , “dem dey nyafu nyafu 4 naija exam hall”. Imagine a candidate submitting the answer booklet, the way it was provided by the examiner, with only their name written on it. They will not study hard so as to write well in the hall. Then, when it is obvious to them that they can’t attempt the questions, they’ll still refuse to make any effort to see if they could source answers. This they do on the basis of their religious faith. They fold their arms, and at the end submit a blank script, strongly believing that God will do a miracle for them. Pooh!

12. THE HOPEFUL PEN CHEWERS

Ha-ha-ha…the pen chewers are the same type of people that will be able to give you the detailed features of the exam hall, especially the ceiling. They are the never-do-wells who do not know and have no clue of how they could come up with something to write. They keep on racking their rust empty brains, amidst dedicatedly chewing of their pen, hoping to churn something out until the time elapses. They only write down the questions, carefully leaving an estimated space for answers after each number. Looking at them, you’ll definitely get confused: the creases formed on their temple is telling that they are doing some serious brainstorming but unfortunately, nothing is forthcoming and at the end, their baseless hope fails them.

13. THE COLLABOS



This is the ‘G.W.O’ – Group Writers Organisation. They study* together, write together and submit together. The study has an asterisk because most of the time, what these set of human beings do is what I call ‘guided expo assembling’, that is why we could still take it to be studying because they do it with devotion, using all the available textbooks and the course outline. They assign duties to one another and once they come into the hall, they co-operate and do their thing.

14. THE PHOTOCOPIERS

Beware of the photocopiers. They are the most dangerous set of people you meet in the exam hall because their fingers and pens make up a sound photocopy machine. They have some other peripheral facilitators – keen eyes and long necks. Without your notice, they are capable of copying everything you’ve written, word for word. The intelligent ones among them are so efficient in the business that they’ll end up getting you implicated: the examiner would conclude you are the one that copied from them. But for the unintelligent ones, they’ll just expose their foolishness because they copy senselessly and without reservations – they write everything, including your name!

15. THE DARING IMPERSONATORS

Despite all the stringent measures that has been employed against impersonation in Nigerian schools, it has refused to go. There are still students who feel they are bold enough take the risks of writing exams on behalf of others. They come in with manipulated ID cards or none at all, and they are usually well equipped with already cooked lies with which to sail through in case of any form of interrogation. I remember those days in school, how a girl submitted a script bearing a name that is indisputably for the masculine gender. She was caught there and then.

16. THE BUSYBODIES



Ohoh! Pray never to sit close to these kind of people in the hall because they are irritating nuisances. They are always looking for the slightest opportunity to cause noise and rowdiness in the hall so as to have their way. They are just enemies of serene examination atmosphere. Even when they do not have any selfish or ulterior motive, they are not just comfortable with peace and quiet.

They are also the ones that’ll report you once they see you do anything that’ll attract punishment, no matter how insignificant. They would rather take the pains of calling the invigilator’s attention than concentrating on their own work.

17. THE HYSTERICAL BEGGARS

I call them annoying hysterical beggars because they really are worse than the parasites. These ones will be begging for answers as if to say that they are the most unfortunate person in that exam hall. If you’ve come across such, you’ll understand what I mean. They’ll be giving you unnecessary explanations of how much they studied, and not being able to recall anything, or how none of the areas they studied came out in the exam, or how they had a midnight fever which stopped them from studying, and so many other funny stories just to attract sympathy. Like the confused ones, they’ll beg you to spell a word as simple as ‘is’ for them. They could go to the extent of bursting into sobs, right there in the examination hall. All the drama is just in a bid to be supplied with answers, no more, no less.



18. THE NAGGERS/WHINERS

The nagging and whining lots are common people you meet in the exam hall. As the exam is on, you’ll be hearing subdued hisses, curses and complaints from their corners. Their whining usually border on issues like the lecturer being so wicked: not setting questions from what he taught, setting too difficult or too many questions, or selling costly textbook which they couldn’t afford etc. They may be complaining about their pen not writing well, or how they’re surrounded by dullards or selfish people in the hall, how the stipulated time for the exam is too short, how the invigilators are too strict, how a strange odour is disturbing their nose and all whatnot.

19. THE ELEVENTH HOUR WRITERS

These ones will behave as if everything is all right and going as desired. But wait till the examiner says, ‘ten minutes more’, then the hitherto calm expression on their faces will change to that of someone who lost a relative. They’ll start scrambling and scribbling with immediate alacrity. They’ll be writing as if to say they’ve not been in that hall all the while. They’ll continue to write ‘sotee the invigilator con tear the script from dem hand’.



20. THE HELPERS

Don’t think we’ve got only the bad eggs in our halls. The good ones are there too. They are the ones that are so considerate and willing to help to the best of their abilities. Once they have the opportunity, they will teach, spell, tell, show, illustrate, all in the exam hall. Some extremely sympathetic ones will write their own exam very fast in order to have time left to help others write theirs.

Nigeria had her first university as far back as before independence, and since then, the number of universities has continued to grow in Nigeria. Now its no longer the business of the government alone but also that of private individuals. The motivation has always been to meet up with the ever-growing demands for advanced education in the country. So many people, especially the youngsters who are yet to make choices of higher institutions do not really know which is which. It will be very beneficial if they get to know the first universities that were created in this noble country of ours as its is always believed that they boast the best educational facilities, resources, and reputation, even with age.

1. University of Ibadan (UI), Oyo – 1948



The University of Ibadan which was founded in 1984 metamorphosed from the Yaba Higher College. The Yaba high college was founded in 1932 in Yaba, Lagos as the first tertiary educational institute in Nigeria. But in 1948, when the need for a University became pressing, the college staff were transferred to start the University of Ibadan as an external college of the University of London, and the college premises were used for the new Yaba College of Technology. Rt. Hon. Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa, first Prime Minister of independent Nigeria was the first Chancellor, while Kenneth Dike was the first Nigerian Vice chancellor of the university, after whom the University of Ibadan’s library is named. The University’s current Vice Chancellor is Isaac F. Adewole. Despite being the oldest, the University of Ibadan is ranked with the best Nigerian Universities at the moment.

2. University of Nigeria, Nsukka, Enugu state– 1960



It was the quest to establish a University in the Eastern part of Nigeria that gave birth to the University of Nigeria. A law in support of this quest was passed on the 18th of May, 1955, and on 7 October 1960, the University was officially opened. Her Royal Highness, Princess Alexandra of Kent, representing Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II at the Nigerian independence celebrations, performed the opening ceremonies and laid the foundation stone of one of the University’s early buildings. The University’s first Vice chancellor was Dr. George Marion Johnson, while her current VC is now Professor Benjamin Chukwuma Ozumba. The University of Nigeria (UNN) was the first full-fledged indigenous and first autonomous university in Nigeria. It is still one of the best and most sought-after Universities in Nigeria.

3. Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Efe – 1961



Obafemi Awolowo University which was founded in 1962 as the University of Ife was the brainchild of Chief Obafemi Awolowo. It was renamed Obafemi Awolowo University on 12th May, 1987. The decision to establish this institution was in response to the agitations of the Westerners on the need for a higher institution that will cater for the education of their numerous secondary school leavers at that time. The cause of the agitation was the plan of the then Ashby Commission to establish additional Universities in the Northern and eastern Nigeria without putting the west into consideration. On 8 June 1961, the Law providing for the establishment of the Provisional council for the University was passed by the Legislature of the Western Region and on the 26th of the same month Provisional Council of the University was formally inaugurated under the chairmanship of Chief Rotimi Williams. OAU is also one of the highly recommended Universities in Nigeria.

4. Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria – 1962

The School of Arabic Studies in Kano was the starting point of the Ahmadu Bello University. The school was upgraded by the Northern region to become the Ahmadu Bello University for Arabic and Islamic Studies, named after the region’s dominant political leader, Alhaji Sir Ahmadu Bello. This was prior to the implementation of the plans in the Ashby Commission Report, to create additional universities to meet the academic needs of the country. However, the Ashby Commission report recommendations offered better direction, and it was ultimately decided to create a University of Northern Nigeria at Zaria (rather than Kano). The university took over the facilities of the Nigerian College of Arts, Science and Technology at Samaru just outside Zaria, and incorporated the Ahmadu Bello College in Kano, the Agricultural Research Institute at Samaru, the Institute of Administration at Zaria, and the Veterinary Research Institute at Vom on the Jos Plateau. The law establishing the new university was passed by the Northern Region legislature in 1961. It was decided to name the university after Ahmadu Bello University. The 14th and current Vice-Chacellor of OAU is Professor Ibrahim Garba.



5. University Of Lagos, Lagos state – 1962



The establishment of the University of Lagos was done in Nigeria’s bid to invest in the training of a professional workforce which will help her achieve rapid industrialization and development after independence. The indispensable need to create more universities to reach this goal was facilitated by the establishment of the University of Lagos. The Ashby Commission’s report, titled Investment in Education, recommended the establishment of a new university in Lagos, the then Federal Capital, to provide education for students in Economics, Commerce, Business Administration, and Higher Management Studies. In 1961, UNESCO Advisory Commission was assigned the detailed planning of the new university by the Federal Government, and on 22 October 1962 on the authority of the University of Lagos Act of 1962, the University of Lagos was established.
6. University of Benin, Edo – 1970



The University of Benin, located in Benin city, Edo state, was founded in 1970. It started as an Institute of Technology and was accorded the status of a full-fledged University by the National Universities Commission (NUC) on 1 July 1971. In his Budget Speech in April 1972, the then Military Governor of Mid-Western State, Col. S. O. Ogbemudia, (then also Visitor to the University) formally announced the change of the name of the Institute of Technology to the University of Benin. On 1 April 1975 the University at the request of the State Government, was taken over by the Federal Government and became a Federal University. Today, the University of Benin has one of the best colleges of Medicine in Nigeria.



7. University of Maiduguri, Borno – 1975



The University of Maiduguri was created by the federal government in 1975, as a division of the Third Development Plan which stressed the creation of more universities in the country. It was the government’s intention to make the institution one of the country’s principal higher-education institutions. The University of Maiduguri is located in the Borno State in Nigeria and now boasts over 34 000 students from around the world. Her current VC is Professor M. M. Daura.



8. University of Calabar, Cross River – 1975



The University of Calabar is one of Nigeria’s second generation universities. The University was a campus of the University of Nigeria until 1975. The male students are known as Malabites, while the female students are Malabresses. The male hostel is called Malabo. This was as a result of challenges faced by the students at a time which coincided with the suffering experienced in Malabo by Nigerian deportees from Equatorial Guinea (whose capital is Malabo) at the time. The University of Calabar was one of the foremost Nigerian Universities to automate students’ registration processes through the College Portal. The school is located in Calabar city, the capital of Cross River state.



9. University of Jos – 1975



What became University of Jos was established in November 1971 as a satellite campus of the University of Ibadan. The first students were admitted in January 1972 as pre-degree students with the first Bachelor of Arts degree program begun in October 1973. In October 1975, then military government under General Murtala Mohammed, established the Unijos as a separate institution. The first Vice-Chancellor of the Unijos was Professor Gilbert Onuaguluchi. Classes began at the newly reorganized University of Jos in October 1976 with 575 students spread over the existing four faculties of Arts and Social Sciences, Education, Natural Sciences and Medical Sciences. UniJos currently has about 30 000 students with Prof. Hayward B. Mafuyai being the current Vice chancellor.



10. University of Ilorin, Kwara state – 1975



The University of Ilorin was initially a University College affiliated to the oldest university in Nigeria in 1975 under the leadership of the then principal, Dr T.N. Tamuno. But in 1975, the military government which was in power then passed a decree that saw to the establishment of the University. Subsequently, in October 1977, the institution attained full autonomous status with appointment of the then Principal, Professor O.O Akinkugbe as first vice chancellor. The immediate past vice chancellor, Professor Is-haq Oloyede is the first Unilorin alumnus to occupy that position. The staff and student populations now stand at about 3,040 and 20,084 respectively. UniIlorin is one of the Universities in Nigeria that top the list of best Nigerian Universities.
