Amen my brother. Thank u very much

OP, never you take the words of the ode buruku above me serious ^^^ This is because prayers and no effort will definitely lead to undiluted failure.

On the topic at hand, OP, I used to be the kind of student who reads only a few days to exams only to obtain pass grades and move to the next class. Did all that in secondary school and during my WAEC/NECO and scaled thru. This is because i had no good secondary school background and no one was there to advise me. I wasnt even given the opportunity to study, hence i made up my mind that once i gained admission into Uni, i'll study hard and obtain reasonable grades. Then as I gained admission and heard loads of stuffs about ABU and how even brilliant mind find it difficult to succeed there, talk less one who knows nothing. All that made me reaffirm my commitment to study hard in Uni.

In my 100L first semester, I read like no one ever did (even to the point I started having eye problems). All my studying was in a bid to avoid having COs (never had any till I graduated tho) and also, to graduate with a 2.something GP. Imagine the standard I set for myself just because of what I heard about ABU. Well, I had a 2.67 in that first semester (same semester was the one I studied the most in my entire life). By second semester, I was gradually grabbing things that seemed difficult in the past, I had 3.49 and my GPs afterwards were, 3.96, 3.59 (most difficult Engineering semester in ABU and after I had this one, that was when I saw the possibilities of making a 2.1), 4.53 (this one pushed me into 2.1 CGPA), 4.27, 4.44, 4.63, 4.75...

My rise to a grade point I never had in mind was as a result of my effort. Sincerely speaking, op, I hardly attended Sunday services. My lifestyle back then was the easiest to map out as some people's were triangular (church, room and classroom), some were rectangular (church, room, classroom and social center) while mine was linear (room-classroom).

What am I saying in essence, OP,

know yourself-know when you're most comfortable studying and the best environment. This is because, some people understand better when they study with music, some understand better when they study in groups, some understand better when they study in a quiet place, etc. If you're studying at a particular time and sleep calls, don't force it, sleep and immediately you wake up, pick up your books and continue from where you stopped. I'm telling you all these because the semester I studied most in the Uni (100L first semester) was the one i had the lowest GP. In other semesters, i studied and when i was assimilating less, i pack my books and looked for the nearest babe or friend to gist with. I almost often went back to my books after gisting.

Make the most out of your past questions..

Don't form big boy or big girl (humility pays), take what you don't understand to the gurus around you (I did this one a lot in my 100 and 200L.

Lastly, pray hard and study harder..

DONADAMS:
Great balewite!!!.... Ur Also a balewite Lets hook up

Ur DP was in school of science right?

amir02:
but diz can happened we re calling our fellow students they should get set for a peacefully protest

Protesting now may lead to the closure of the school. Since its taking effect from next session lets finish this session peacefully because they have delayed the session already

salisy:
Bro the uni gov council resolved to increase it but haven't communicated it to the public. The SUG smells it and hence the swift prequel action, as a precaution. Like it happened in numerous occasion during my UG, the VC can shelve the proposal at anytime without implementation.

So, it is still unofficial and a speculation

Okay.. I pray all will be well

salisy:
it is not official, so far it is just rumours

not official? When SUG Caretaker committee have anounced it after their meeting, except if they are to reconsider it

Omo ATBU Own na play for here

Greatest Balewites! This is total madness wallahi. How can they increase tuition fee by more than 100%. Their problem is too much; a very slow academic calender, victimization of students.
front page pls @seun @lalasticlala

eROCK247:
What's d full meaning of ATBU pls?

Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University

salisy:
It is ATBU, 22k for freshers, 14k for returning

tuition fees will be increased from next session

Am not surprised at all. Nowadays people are opening churches with the sole aim of making money. Verysoon every family will have their own church

shey dem sabi spam. Its time to suffer for their sins

I have used neteller to send money

Why always Sahara reporters?

rigarmortis:
