I still don't know the crime we Nigerians have committed that the world hates us.nice one though,

Trust me let them hate, u just start to see Nigeria like any of the developed countries and any insult u might hear will mean nothing to u. God bless Nigeria. Even the outsiders are already seeing God's blessing in Nigeria...

that is what happened when the element of life obey you by the authority in Jesus. in this case the dog and rain obeyed you. praises to God.

The start of term is an exciting time for those of us involved in Academia and those who must have experienced this.– new students are arriving on campus, full of enthusiasm, hope, the first class spirit questions and many more. A Friend once told me that during Matriculation Ceremony , the number of students being celebrated is more compared to that of graduation. That threw a poke on me as it is something worth thinking. The strategy involved for University Scheme is different for the one used during your high school days. Back in school, a student might not come for class but at the end of the term still come out as the best. Have seen a school where a student spent the whole of the session in the hospital but came up as the best in that class :O How did it happen? I don’t know but to be sincere, if you employ that strategy in school, you “might find it difficult” to succeed as some lecturers are very strict when it comes to people not coming early for class or not attending at all. So in this post, i would be sharing with our “Newly Admitted Students” some tips that would help them succeed while in school. These tips were as a result of interviews gotten from those who went and conquered so using them would be a bonus for you. Please Read and Share. Be organised: When you first arrive and have time on your hands will mean that the scene is set for studying and socializing before life gets too busy. So register for your course, check that your loan has arrived, pay any tuition and hall fees, sign on with a new GP, get your library card and NUS card, and buy any items you may have forgotten to bring from home. Make sure that you have the necessary things in your room to be able to offer your new neighbors tea, coffee or a drink, as this is a good way to get to know them. Have an agenda, and use it: This seems like pretty obvious advice, but you would be surprised how many students (and Professors!) don’t have a good system for managing time. University is a lot about managing your time: getting to classes, dealing with e-mails, assignments, planning for exams, Facebook, and squeezing in a social life, or a part-time job. It’s a struggle to manage all these tasks, and to help with this, develop a clear and straightforward system of ‘calendar + tasks‘. Under calendar, include your class schedule, important dates and meetings, and most importantly, LOOK at the calendar regularly! I personally prefer using an on-line calendar that syncs with my phone – but some people prefer the old-fashion (yet dependable) hard-copy calendar. For tasks, include short-term tasks (with deadlines – cross-referenced with your calendar) and long-term tasks, so that you are reminded of deadlines. I use a small notebook for my task list, and it is always with me – for me, the act of physically writing down a task list helps me remember what I need to work on. A good system for your agenda and tasks will make your life a lot easier. Furthermore, effective use of an agenda and task list will help you refine your time management skills, and these skills are truly essential to success at University (and for your career, beyond…). Attend lectures, You Paid For it: Lectures are there for a reason: they provide you with value-added content. It’s true that some of the content may be available on-line, or with a text-book, but in most cases, lectures will help to draw connections between different content, and/or provide a valuable context to the material that might be in the textbook or on- line. Professors take a lot of pride in lecturing, and work hard to make the lectures engaging, interesting, and thought-provoking. You will soak up an amazing amount of material by just being in lectures, and paying attention. NETWORK: Last Week, We published an article on how networking can help you get the best out of the university. The truth is , the university is like a bag filled with random objects. You should be expecting different kinds of fellow there but networking with the right kind of people can go a long way in helping you achieve that goal. For More details, read on How Networking can Help You in School. Ask question[/b]s: In most of my conversation with students, I tell students them that there are no silly questions (except for “Will this be on the exam?”). smiley This is very, very true. If you are confused about a concept, or failed to get the point of a slide, or discussion, you must ask for clarification. Although it can be intimidating to ask a question in a large lecture hall, it’s important to try. If you are confused, it’s highly likely that other student’s are also confused. You are helping yourself, and your peers, when you put your hand up. [b]STUDY Strategy: In order to keep control of your commitments, write out a personal timetable which includes any employment obligations, scheduled study such as lectures, at least one library session per week, private study, planned activities such as clubs and societies, and time for rest and relaxation with your friends. Try to stick to it in principle. Even if you have not had time to do the background reading, make sure that you try to attend all your lectures, seminars and tutorials as this will help you to form an impression of the broader picture. Keep copies of all written work, back up your computer and keep the discs in a safe place. Build yourself, not your resume. Many students will do extracurricular or gain leadership positions just because they want to impress future employers. However, if they focus more on developing themselves as strong, well- rounded people, they will be far more memorable in interviews and in the working world. The Law of Diminishing Marginal Returns applies to your GPA, too :. Of course, you should maintain a respectable GPA, but know that once you cross 3.5, it matters less and less. The difference between an A and an A- is not worth you endlessly poring over a textbook instead of spending valuable time with friends or working on extracurricular activities. The amount of energy needed to get perfect grades could be put to better use.

Nice tips. Pls add this, just learn it too; don't be a " silencer"- you call it cramming. Don't be too anxious about GP. Be natural and trust me you are successful.

Google surprised everyone at its San Francisco event yesterday, when it revealed its first in-house designed tablet called the
Pixel C .
The Pixel C is a 10.2-inch challenger to Cupertino and Redmond’s iPad Pro and Surface tablets respectively, with a 308 ppi display and super-bright backlight capable of 500 nits. It boasts high-end features and a new $149 detachable smart Bluetooth keyboard that affixes to the back of the tablet.
According to Google, the new tablet runs on
Android Marshmallow , sporting an Nvidia Tegra X1 quad-core chip, Maxwell GPU and 3GB of LPDDR4 RAM for swift processing of things.
And Just like the new Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P , it uses the USB Type-C connector for fast charging and syncing, that’s shareable with the Nexus phones and it’ll also be available for sale in 32GB and 64GB storage configurations in the Google Store
There’s no word on when it’ll be released to international markets, but the Pixel C will start selling at $499 for the 32GB model and $599 for the 64GB variant.

Touchey:
Your construction is very poor

This is a reason for you to change your attitude of talking about people's work with contempt... Now you say what u mean is different but it still doesn't matter. Learn how to appreciate people so that u can be appreciated everybody has his or her colourful day. God bless u.

mars123:
even if for 1 post, it won't kill you to be patriotic.

...Aziinnn!! Tell the guy ooo...

piicity:
NIGERIA KO! I No fit send my enemy gan there!

You don't have to comment on every thread you see here especially those you know might make Fp to avoid incessant insult. You be man ooo!!!!

slimfit1:
I think the guy who wrote this crap is drunk on something he thinks the way we see Nigeria is the way others feel or see it.

You have to think along with this guys, his write-up is beyond the context he is writing with optimism- this is an insight of the future of Nigeria... Though its seems vague, just try to see through the guy eye balls. Trust me he aint lying at all. Its obvious.

This is what we are saying!! Naija Is going there with people of great optimism. Don't look at the context look at the reality- future. The No1 share holder of Africa Nigeria.

But seriously I still think this people are being used...that man seems teetered, without any sign of having anything.. May God have mercy on them.

Plastic?

Not only coke o, even Teem. Be careful o guys.

When I feel like drinking soft drinks,cos I don't, I simply go to mega malls like shoprite. Ask yourself why people pick those plastics after it has been used. Greed is real in this country o.

I tell you, and this is where the government needs to come in and do something about our recycling system. I tell you even the companies are not helping matters, those plastic bottles can be harnessed for reuse which will help their production and proportionally help the people because the production cost will reduce drastically but you see, reverse is the case. We kept on wasting resources because it is natural. If you know the price difference btw plastic and glass coke, then you will realize there is lot to do about our recycling system.

Please friends, if your name is not yet on jamb website, please do not panic its doesn't mean that you 're not admitted or you are not going to be admitted. You wait for the school list first. Just keep your faith, very important.

AgentONE:
Re-direct your question to Keenness,He is currently a student of Fuoye,so he should be in the best place of answering your question by using his experiences during his own time of registration.
Cc Keenness

Its well my bro, you guys should just continue to rejoice on your admissions, when the registration kicks off which is after the supplementary list is updated, all your needed documents will be listed out for you. Well, for ease, if you leave outside of your home town you can start processing your certificate state of origin to avoid haste when they finally ask you to present it. Its well.

Archmage:
i understand. I'll be more cautious and conscious. merci beaucoup.

u're welcome.

Archmage:
i was just being sincere... i saw 3d, i was excited, very excited, but i ended up seeing drawings on paper... it broke my heart even though i appreciate the artist's skill. imo.. truth is relative

...Your comment is great just that u needed to have arranged them in other of importance. Appreciation helps a lot...

nas07:
Nice. But there's a lot more to 3d than this. Try check the internet to learn more. Good drawing skill though!

Your chronology is bad if I must say, you should commend the nice work before any other thing. I quote your comment because I realised you know the truth you just needed to be notified. I'm sorry to meddle in though..

God bless your work Bro...more insight in Jesus name.

Archmage:
when i saw 3d, i was excited, i expected to see some stunning maya and c4d sculpts.. not bad tho... keep it up!

Your chronology is bad if I must say, you should commend the nice work before any other thing. I quoted your comment because I realised you know the truth you just needed to be notified. I'm sorry to meddle in though..

drnoel:
If that is the case then I must be spiritually over mature although I rarely go to church. Still I think u mean to say those qualities are for disciplined people

I bet you bro you cannot live even average of all the character that man listed above by flesh.. You should watch your ways and draw nearer to your God. You can not be living above those characters and still find it difficult to go to church....

Thank God for all of you that are already admitted, I say to you congratulation!!! As you prepare for school, God will help you to prepare in jesus name. Our mission we pass to you now is to continue to pray for those who are yet to be admitted and needed to be in fuoye, that God should quicken to answer their prayers. We are blessed. Please I plead with u our newbies... Don't come to fuoye without having in mind what to do for your creator, its very important its will serves as the fuel that projects your destiny. Its well with us all in jesus name.
