Life is not by knowing book or being intelligent or wise...that was why the Bible said the race is not for the swift nor the wise nor the strongest but of God that showeth mercy. Don't surprised that your younger sister will end up becoming the shinning star of the family in years to come....please let her be, the only thing you guys can do for her is to find a way to discover her interest and passion, there lies her success and greatness in life, knowing book or being intelligent is never a guarantee you will become successful in life ![]() |

RiyadhGoddess:Dear op, this person has said it all. Find out what your sister is passionate about and drive her towards that. In as much as University education is important, some people who did not go to uni are still more successful. I know a roasted yam seller long ago in Ibadan that produced 4 graduates. Road side seller o. A white collar job man was struggling to pay fees. Having said that let me also share one story. There was a lady back on the day, I believe she was duller than your sis. She blunt self join. After the long story of failing all through her life, someone asked her to become a caterer. She actually went to a local catering school. Guess what, no student could meet up. From that local school she stared winning small awards that took her from grass to grace even to better school. Today, nobody in her family is her mate financially. She does not work in Nigeria o. We are talking international something from one country to the other. The world knows her. So, push your sis in a direction she will thank you for. |

Since she loves to sleep, she can get a job at Mouka foam or Vita foam and be testing their mattresses. |

petux:If you love her much create time for her every evening, maybe an hour or two and start the syllabus with her. Be very patient with her. She'll catch up. Not everyone has a supple mind that understands easily. Some need to spend more time before they can grasp what others will grasp within seconds. Being harsh towards her will only make her feel like a dunce and make her hate herself even more. She takes consolation in eating. That means she's probably trying to overcome depression by eating. Help her out as much as you can and she'll be forever grateful to you. She also needs to engage in extracurricular activities more. Exercises and healthy eating. To find a mentor in Nigeria is like trying to find snow in the desert. Be her mentor. |

petux:No body is dull. She probably has an undiagnosed learning disability. Dyslexia for example is one. There are others. Find out if she has one before calling her dull. When the right diagnosis has been made, treatment can be given and she can learn better. |

She could actually be very brilliant but suffering from dyslexia. Have you ever asked her to read few text out before? There you will know if she is dyslexic or not. If she is not, my advice is " don't waste money" at least she can express herself well. Let her go and learn a craft. |

mine is 19 200L my broda when is saw this post I almost wept.. is it that the females don't see the country the way most men see it. people say look at ur background and strive to be better. when she is at school we go get rest, she wouldn't help out with the store, wash plates wahala, read book wahala, since she enter school I never go visit her cus I'm mad at her. I support in my own way but soon I'll leave parents house and I'm worried she won't give my parents high b.p.. see ehn this post na me e touch pass....I don blame the mama tire. but I will still give her this point of talking to her daughter on her likes and dreams... I hate laziness to the core. na who papa be governor supposed dey relax like that now and not when ur parents are both hustlers |

Make it fun for her... u cant force it but when she enjoys it she will read... find what she enjoys and help her build her love for reading by using what she really likes and putting it in the works |

Not everyone is cut out for "book".. If she has the basic education, help her discover her talent. |
| Re: My Younger Sister Is Too Dull. by toprealman: 12:49am On Jul 31, 2019 |
petux:Everyone must not go to the Uni. Look inwards, has she go any skills/talents? What really excites her? Vocational training is a great opty. |

| Re: My Younger Sister Is Too Dull. by 001spice: 2:46am On Jul 31, 2019 |
try and fine sum1 of her age whom u knw is brilliant n doing well in education,try as much as u can to make them friends,and dnt forget to let the person realise that u need he/her (preferbly) her to be a friend to ur sister so she can always come to the house and start gist and talk a lot bout so many things that u knw do interest ur sister bt importantly she should always make sure they read school books together just as a fun and after reading they should ask each other some question frm d book jst as a fun. by so doing gradually she will develop interest in studying. pray for her always. God help u all |

op well let me say this hard truth. you and your family members are to be blamed. your sister had this problem since but her waec result trigger this and am sure had it been she passed it you won't come up with this write up. now to the solution,make her your best friend let her see competition outside,make her see how the outside world look like,get to know what she derive pleasuse at. she probably have friends with no vision so check who she work with and if possible change her resident. note there is assurance of passing neco bt work on her before she go sch o |
