Let me quickly share my story with you....the best sermon is one's personal experience. I left secondary school in 2004. By 2005, I got admitted to a state university in Ekiti State. After two years of studies in Ekiti state, I discovered the program i was doing was not accredited. To make the story worse, nearly all lecturers in the faculty of science passionately disliked the program. It was called SLT then. Consequently, they mark down our papers. Not only that, they call us all sorts of names like NFA, unfortunate students and the likes anyone who attended the university and did that course can attest to what i am saying. My dad happens to be a staff of the University, so i told him about the poor grades, everything i heard about the program, and the intensity of the lecturer's hatred for the program all to no avail. All he said was whenever students dont want to read, they come up with different flimsy excuses so i kept mute.

After five years of my life in that school, my dad was made one of the board members of the faculty so he saw the whole results since the inception of the program, so may spill over students from year 2000, and the fact that the program has not been accredited. I was in 500 level(final year) then with alot of carry overs.....carry over is not a big deal in that program....people had 15. My father saw how bad it was and he immediately invited me to his office for a meeting. He blamed himself for not listening to me when i complained 3 years earlier. He said he would want me to transfer. That was how i took my transcript and returned to 200level in another school entirely when i ought to graduate with maybe a third class or a pass.

I wasted 5years of my life in Ekiti. I was so sad and depressed. Merely sitting with my younger brother's age mate turned my stomach in anger. Infact when i got to the new school, my own younger brother who i happened to be ahead of by 3years became my senior in the new school. The retrogression started affecting my grades such that attending classes became a burden. Along the line, i sat myself down and reasoned deeply about how my life has been. I was the best student in secondary school. I was only unfortunate to have attended the wrong program in Ekiti. Though i wasn't given any certificate after five years but i learnt life lessons those years. I changed my attitude towards my new classmates and humbled myself to a fault. Above all, i began to see my new school as the golden opportunity to start afresh again. My declining grades all of a sudden began to soar so high such that i had 5.0/5.0 in one of the semesters and i ended finishing top 5 out of the class of about 300.

Today, I am currently in Canada on a graduate program fully funded by the university. Up till now, I am yet to spend a dime of myself in Canada. Because the scholarship covered everything. Guess what?, I even got two scholarships from two different university and just last week, I got another funding again. Yes just last week! What if i had committed suicide then? . Would i have seen the goodness almighty God has packaged in my future today? What i am saying in essence is you can fall as much as possible but whenever you fall and refuse to rise again is when you failed. The righteous shall fall seven times.....but they shall rise again.

Conclusively, whatever the case maybe, dust up yourself and try again. Do not give up so easily because winners never quit and quitters never win. I am sure very soon you gonna look back and smile. Every successful people at some point had a share of that gloomy period when you feel you are all alone and the world is about comming down on you. But I am happy to announce to you that alot of people have tread this same path and today they have become success and point of reference in the society. Brother, it is never how far, but how well. and tough time never lasts tough people do!!!!!!

It was on Nairaland I got to realise that the problems of Nigeria can only be solved by God almighty. Even the most patriotic and loyal politicians need to rig elections first to be able to attain that position where they can change the face of the Nation.

I recall a few days ago when I logged on to this forum and saw a topic on front page, (one of those Anti-Buhari posts) only a couple of posts so I decided to contribute my thoughts in a responsible and articulate manner, with the thoughts that my articulations may change someone's life. I took my time and composed my post, checked out for grammatical errors, punctuation, etc, then I clicked the "post" button... Boom! A post that would've been Number 10, at the very worst, landed me on page 3!!! No front page, nothing!!! My carefully articulated thoughts relegated to the background where nobody bothers to give a look. I scrolled up to see the posts that made the cut within a 2-3 minutes of having to compose mine, behold: "aaa" "lol" "ahdhdhjdj" "ok" "wow" etc, etc were the jargons these nairaland kids used to push me to page 3.

I learnt a vital lesson that day, not only is the race for FTC for the swift, the race for front page is even for the swifter. No time to be forming "man of integrity", post your "hdhdhdhdh" and come back to modify.

So this morning when I saw this post and only about 5 comments so far, nobody taught me to "jejely" post my "gshsjsjssj", go and have my bath, dress up, drink my akamu and hot akara, den sit down to come and develop this plot of land I bought just to articulate my thoughts so the world can see.

So, what's the moral of my story: space booking is one of the fundamental problems of the Nigerian society today and this menace must be stopped before it destroys all that the Buhari government stands for.

Thank you, and God bless.
