EducationHow To Develop Your Public Speaking Skills In One Week by ScholarsPicker(op): 3:21pm On Jul 07, 2025
If you have seen Ngozi Adichie speak, you will certainly fall in love with public speaking. However, if you have tried to speak several times but feel you are not meeting up with your expectations, then you may have to read this post till the end.
In my previous post here, I wrote on why possessing good writing skills is very important for every student.

Like I have always advised students under me, one of the best ways to build your skills on something is to do that same thing repetitively. When you do the same thing over and over, you will know what you are not doing well and the areas you will need to improve. Speaking is not rocket science. Even you can speak better if you are ready to know the important and the good speaking well can bring to you. Therefore, the best thing to do is to speak as your routine. If you will speak in the language you prefer, that will also be better.

Another thing you can do is to listen when speakers you admire are speaking. Listening to the style they are applying can really help you in several ways, and you will really appreciate their effect.

The essence of this post is to tell you as a student to put more effort into refining your speaking skill to get the best from it.

Education15 Ways To Build Good Writing Skills As A Student by ScholarsPicker(op): 2:18pm On Jul 07, 2025
Being a bad writer is easy; don't write at all.
Being a good writer starts from being a bad writer or a "fair" writer who is enthusiastic to become a good writer. In our contemporary world, you must know how to communicate in all situations and in all media to convey your message very well.

How can you be good when you lack the requisite knowledge in writing skills? This will not be possible unless you read the following points I will drop here.
1. You must be ready to write every day: If you want to know how to write, write every day, and if you want to know how to read, read every day. This is an age-long quote that is still powerful to date. Therefore, one of the best measures to use to make yourself strong is by knowing how to write every day.
2. Read and admire quality writing skills as you see them. Writing is a means of communicating ideas or projects. Therefore, regardless of what you are writing about, you have to read other people's write-ups to learn the special measures the writers used to convey their points the way they do.

This topic is one that I feel is very important to students and what every student should know to sound good with their ideas. You can read the full and detailed writing at IOD Reviews Guide.

EducationThis Can Help You If You Are About To Drop Out Of School Due To Finance by ScholarsPicker(op):
Are you currently looking for financial help to finish your education?

It is highly challenging to study in any of the higher institutions without strong financial backup. Be it a University first degree or postgraduate degrees. The story is no longer the same with when a student from poor home can hustle his way through school.

Annually, according to anecdotal statistics, over 1 million youths are denied education due to financial constraint. Are you part of this number or you are about to be part of it?

The good news is that there is a way out. There is a way to be comfortable while in school even if you are from a home with abject poverty. The way is by wining a scholarship opportunity. Scholarship! That is what makes the difference.

You can read it again. Scholarship makes the difference. It doesn't matter whether you are attending public or private university any longer.

However, the question is how do you get to know of the scholarship opportunities?

I have got you covered with the following suggestions on how to know of the latest scholarship programs as soon as they open.

Follow social media page or group where latest scholarship opportunities are enlisted. A good example of such groups include: Scholarship Picker, Scholarship Abroad, etc. #ScholarshipPicker is known to pick out and arrange the latest local and foreign scholarships and make them available for you. You can follow the page on Facebook, LinkedIn, and on X (formerly Twitter).

Also, you can routinely visit some of the website that post scholarship opportunities. Examples of such websites include:
Scholarship Picker
Scholarship Region

Interestingly, Google is always there to help but my problem with Google is that it may not be specific about what you want. It can also provide you with scholarship opportunities that are not current but because the post was optimized very well. However, it is not bad to take out time to research for scholarship slots on Google, especially if you have a particular country or scholarship in mind.

Lastly, learn to to turn on the notification bell each time you like or follow a social media page to be notified of all latest posts.

In all, it is important to search and win scholarship opportunity if you must survive the current financial implications of studying in any institution of higher learning.

EducationDO NOT Pay Anyone To Prepare For Post-utme: Here Are The Secrets You Must Know! by ScholarsPicker(op): 3:58pm On Jun 29, 2025
I came across many platforms asking or encouraging students who are preparing for post-UTME to pay some money to prepare them for the exam and still wonder why such money is not a waste if they are not given the core secret to passing the exam. Here it is: it is a waste to pay someone to prepare you for post-UTME, especially if you scored above 200 and the person will only be telling you to read all over again.

You still think it is important to make such pay? Think about it this way: every year many students pay for JAMB and also pay for post-UTME. How many of them always gain admission? Don't worry, by the end of this post, you will realize why you should know the secret you need to smash your aptitude test and not just pay money.

Below are the secrets you need to pass your post-JAMB exam:
Prepare very hard and smart for the exam: When we say prepare hard and smart, what do we mean? We mean that you should know what is involved and obtainable from the institution you intend to secure admission to. It is part of understanding the institution you intend to study at. You need to know the nature of their post-utme exam; whether it is dependent on past questions from previous years or your school is such that it synthesizes new questions each year. It will not stop there. You may need to know the major books your school can rely on to set questions so as to read them beforehand.

Ask yourself what you want: By now you need to know what you want. An admission or not. You need to ask yourself what exactly you want and whether you intend to achieve it. This is because when the procrastinating spirit is upon you and you start fighting to read, it is what will make you go back and read. Knowing what you want can make you prepare smartly in your hard times.

Routine self-evaluation: If you still have more than a month until your exam, then you must master the art of self-evaluation and possibly do it weekly. However, if you have less than a month until your exam, you will have to change your style to a daily self-evaluation. In this evaluation process, you should ask yourself what you can reproduce, assuming the exam is that day. If your output is still minimal, then you have to add more force to it.

In all you do for your post-UTME, remember that it is geared towards gaining admission this year. Anything that gives less than admission is not worth it. Read the full post from HERE.

EducationThe Easiest Way To Prepare For Exam Using CHATGPT by ScholarsPicker(op):
Do you think that ChatGPT can tell exam questions before the exam day?

As students, we have things that distract us and sometimes, reduce our interest in academic work. Unfortunately, we realize the extent of distraction when exam is by the corner.

A couple of times I have been in this shoes but none of the times has made me to score less than B as a medical student. Here I will tell you my secret which CHATGPT and how I manipulate it to help myself during exam preparation.

Things I do with CHATGPT for exam preparation:

1. Use CHATGPT to revise my MCQs past questions: instead of struggling with how to get the correct answers and also looking up for different books that will explain the reason why a certain option is the answer, I just bring in ChatGPT to help. I will copy the question and options into the ChatGPT search bar and it will provide me with the correct answer and the reason why such is the correct answer. This has show to increase my speed and understanding of each question including the concepts involved.
2. Use CHATGPT to answer past essay question: if you are preparing for exam that will require you to write essay questions then you need ChatGPT. However, before ChatGPT, make your outline then ask ChatGPT to write for you using the outline.
3. Pay attention to some of the concepts that ChatGPT will be highlighting while answering your questions. You will need to understand those concepts in case they come up in exam.

4. ChatGPT may not be correct all the time but it has reasonable level of reliability.

EducationJAMB Set To Review UTME Result 2025 by ScholarsPicker(op): 4:57pm On May 13, 2025
In a surprising development, the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced plans to review the UTME Result 2025. This move comes after days of public concern and widespread complaints from candidates, parents, and education stakeholders regarding the credibility and accuracy of this year’s results. Many candidates reported inconsistencies, including significantly lower scores than expected and missing subject results, sparking calls for transparency and a thorough investigation.

Initially, JAMB had defended the integrity of the UTME Result 2025, attributing discrepancies to technical issues or candidate errors. However, following mounting pressure and additional internal assessments, the examination body has decided to reassess some of the released results. According to official statements, the review process will focus on identifying possible technical faults, verifying candidate complaints, and ensuring that no student is unfairly disadvantaged.

The announcement has been met with mixed reactions—hopeful for those who believe their scores do not reflect their performance, and cautious optimism from others waiting to see the outcome. As JAMB prepares to conduct this review, students are advised to remain calm and stay updated through official channels. This decision marks a significant shift in JAMB’s usual policy stance and could influence future examination processes.

Many Nigerian student bloggers are cashing out big time—why not you? Just stay consistent, learn daily, and don’t give up when results don’t come immediately. Remember, it’s not juju—it’s strategy.

Career3 Ways To Earn Online From Home In 2025: Are You Ready? by ScholarsPicker(op):
Ways to earn online money have never been easier than now. The question is, 'Are you ready'? In a time when the cost of living keeps on increasing every day, we need to look for other sources of income beyond our salary.

For those who are not working class and do not receive a salary every month, it's also important for them to look for a means to earn a living, especially one that is not stressful. Have you been waiting for the possible ways to earn from your home without sacrificing your energy?

In this post, I will outline the three easiest ways to earn from home, especially online, without spending much energy and wasting time. What you'll be getting from this post includes tested ways to end in dollars without spending much of your energy.

It's important to tell you that this will involve consistency and a little patience, especially from the start, as you may not be earning highly from the start.

Below are the three essential ways you can earn online without much stress:

Online Freelancing

Have you seen yourself being so good at something that you receive commendation from everyone? Are you so good at writing that you could hold your readers spellbound each time they come across your writing?

Do you know you can earn highly from this writing skill? Many people have been busy writing on different social media platforms educating people about certain areas of life without knowing that such write-ups can be well packaged to earn money from them.

It's not about telling people the amount to pay you to write for them but about getting listed by some companies that specialize in those key areas and you write it for them to earn money.

This is called freelancing. Here you showcase those areas you are good at, then deliver the services for which you can be paid within minutes or hours. For example, if you are good at writing, graphic design, coding, virtual assistance, etc., you can earn money daily.

You can be hired by people who may not be from your country to work for them. So many people have made money online just by delivering services in those key areas they are good at. The joy of freelancing is that you improve on it. As you continue to deliver the services, you will see areas that need improvement in your skills.

Platforms that can help you grow include:

1. Upwork,

2. Fiverr,

3. Freelancer.

4. Linkedin

What tools do you need to start earning?

When it comes to online business, you don't need many tools to start it. The major thing you need is your online-accessible smartphone. With your Android or Apple smartphone, you can easily start earning money online.

With time, you can also progress to buying a laptop and other devices that can help you perform to your best. Most of the things you need for your online business will likely come from a smartphone, as your smartphone can take a good snapshot of you and also process other information needed.

How much do you need to start earning as a freelancer?

The amount you need to start earning as a freelancer can range from zero to as little as $10. This is Big Girls; you may need to buy data to be able to power your smartphones. With time, you can also need money to buy higher devices that can give more quality to your work. However, it may not be bad to start gradually, as much as you can afford from the start.

Affiliate marketing

Another way of earning passive income, either as a worker or someone who is not in the walking class, is to engage in affiliate marketing. Affiliate marketing allows you to sell to big companies or refer buyers to them. With each cell you make, you're going to end a commission and with this commission, you can also smile to your bank.

Depending on the product that you are marketing, you can get a commission of as little as $5 to as much as $1,000 per cell you make. However, like every other business venture, online and offline, you need persistence, consistency, and endurance to make it.

Affiliating with some of the big e-commerce brands can also help you earn higher commissions and as well work from your home, as all you need to do is refer consumers online.

you may need a bigger online audience to make it in affiliate marketing, except you need to create a website that you can use especially for marketing. You can also need to do online advertisements on Facebook or Google to boost yourself for a time.

The truth is that you can do this from your home; however, you may need to borrow the game from your friends who are ready to make many games from it. For instance, you need to know the highest-selling products before you can start making online advertisements to attract customers to buy the product.

If you waste your money advertising products that are not currently selling or those that are not being searched by people, you will lose the little money you have, unlike where you already know the selling products and go for them.

Just like freelancing, you can use only your smartphone to do your affiliate marketing and still attract as much audience and consumers to the product as you want.

Examples of affiliate networks

To do well in affiliate marketing, it is important to market for a brand that can pay you well. This goes a long way to assure of the much gain you can have from the whole process. In this post, we will be highlighting some of the affiliate networks you can join, and be assured that your commissions are safe.

1. M4TRIx

2. DFO GLOBAL

3. AMAZON

Platforms to use for affiliate marketing

The main goal behind affiliate marketing is the ability to refer a product and it will be purchased by the consumers. If you advertise a product and the majority of our audience orders it, then your commission will increase.

In this case, it is important to start by highlighting the product to your audience—people who know you very well. You can start with your social platforms, such as Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn, depending on the type of product it is.

One of the ways to kill it on affiliate marketing is to know the best platform for each product. Not all products do well on Instagram and not all also do well on Facebook.

You can also decide to create your website and start uploading content to it. The good side of creating a website is that you go beyond affiliate marketing to also write on other areas for more to come.

Taking advantage of social media for content-making

The path to making money is no longer difficult, unlike before the advent of social media. Now people make money just by producing short clips of videos and sharing sermons on social media to attract an audience.

Every increase in the engagement level on the social media platform comes with some level of commission that is coming as a result of the advertisement made by people on social media.

As you continue to draw people's attention to those advertisements through your short clips of videos, commissions will continue to pour into your account, giving you the choice to smile to bank for your pay.

You can take advantage of social media such as Facebook and YouTube to leverage more earnings for yourself just by creating engaging videos or content.

You don't have to be an expert to start earning; however, all you need to do is create what your audience will be interested in every time. You can also contribute to trending issues and solution-seeking games to attract a larger audience to yourself.

How to improve your current skills

Observing those who are already in your field. Here you have to learn new tricks and ways of doing things. Learning the working strategies can make the difference you need in the area of your online earning journey. You can also have a mentor who will guide you to ensure that you flow along the correct ways of doing things.

You can also use YouTube as a means to improve your skills. This does not need much effort, as you can do it from your office or home. All you need to do is locate someone who is already good and also good at teaching the same process to others.

Be honest about what you can offer. Giving people false impressions about your services can cheat you in the long run, as it will be difficult to convince anyone who has already been disappointed by your service that you can do something better. One way to handle this issue is to easily refer people whose services you can't handle perfectly to others who can handle it well. You can equally learn while they handle the situation with you.

Avoid the trap of pursuing money first. Pursue to be a brand rather than look for money first. When you are a well-known brand, it will attract more money to you and you don't have to do much publicity to attract customers to yourself. Your brand can also speak for itself and it will be easy to expand your vision when you start growing.

Have a timeline for your growth 💹. In every business or profession, there is more money with an increase in growth. Grow in knowledge; let your business grow. Think about growth at each time of your day. Ask yourself intentionally about how you can grow to a higher height. The advantage is always there.

Conclusion on ways to earn online

These days, money is not only in 8 am to 4 pm or 9 am to 5 pm jobs. You can have other things you do as a side hustle or as ways to earn passive income. If you have not started taking advantage of the online money-making venture, this post will guide you. The truth is that some people earn more online than what they are paid in their current jobs, especially those living in less developed countries and doing menial jobs. Take advantage of this post and expand your learning now. You can consider some of the YouTube videos below for more learning.

EducationWhat I Will Do To Gain University Admission This Year by ScholarsPicker(op):
Are you wondering how to smash your post-UTME to enable you to gain admission? Don't worry, I have got you covered!
I am a graduate of the University of Lagos and have seen the way many students are preparing for post-UTME. Some are scared while others have already started panicking. I often ask myself if some students know what they are up for; The number of students applying for admission into their school, and other universities that are writing post-UTME.

My major challenge is that even when some students are aware of the number of students who have applied for the institution, some are still complacent about how they go about it. They don't know the right way to prepare for the exam. Some are even carried away by the score they got in their JAMB as if it is final. Others are confused about what exactly to read for the post-UTME; is it to read undergraduate materials or to read secondary school textbooks?

One of the students seeking admission into Law at the University of Ibadan told me that his JAMB score is good and highly indicative of his admission. However, I told him that he would gain admission if he performed well in his post-UTME, too. One must pass the JAMB and also the POst-UTME to gain admission. That is how it is done regardless of the score in JAMB. It was at that point he was awakened to do more work.

Preparing for post-UTME is even better now. During my time, we didn't have Post-UTME past questions available as it is today. We didn't have WhatsApp groups, Facebook groups, and other means of sharing information as it is today. We relied on what we could get from JAMB questions alone or what we could understand from our textbook. This does not mean that we all were on an equal platform and ready for the exam at the same tempo because, at that time, some candidates still had access to those past questions that were scarce. While some were able to pass and gain admission, some had prepared so hard and got scores that hit the roof, especially those who progressed to study medicine, Law, Pharmacy, Engineering, or Nursing.

Fast forward to ten years later, today, you now have easy access to most information. All you need is data on your phone for browsing to have access to those things. Past questions are available for you to read and you can engage in groups reading with other candidates preparing for the exam. Nothing is more powerful than group discussion for anyone going for an exam. All these are to your advantage.

Given the competition in securing admission into Unilag, UI, OAU, ABU, and other top ten Nigerian Universities, it is important to be intentional about your exams, post-UTME. Get past questions and read them. When you read those past questions, you will take time to understand the format of the exam and also master how to manage your time. You will be able to predict the sections of the exam that require more time and the ones that require less time. It will also help you to refresh your mind on some topics and impact your retention. If you must gain admission into any of the highly competitive courses in any of the top ten universities in Nigeria, you must be ready to have a high score in your post-UTME, especially if your JAMB score is not 300+.

This does not only apply to those seeking admission into UNN, UI, UNILAG, or ABU Zaria. It applies to everyone who is currently seeking admission to different universities, especially those who will write Post-UTME. Let this be an awakening call. Let it make you prepare harder for your post-UTME.

I am a graduate of the University of Lagos and have seen the way many students are preparing for post-UTME. Some are scared while others have already started panicking.

Nothing is more powerful than group discussion for anyone going for an exam. All these are to your advantage.

Given the competition in securing admission into Unilag, UI, OAU, ABU, and other top ten Nigerian Universities, it is important to be intentional about your exams, post-UTME. Get past questions and read them. When you read those past questions, you will take time to understand the format of the exam and also master how to manage your time. You will be able to predict the sections of the exam that require more time and the ones that require less time. It will also help you to refresh your mind on some topics and impact your retention. If you must gain admission into any of the highly competitive courses in any of the top ten universities in Nigeria, you must be ready to have a high score in your post-UTME, especially if your JAMB score is not 300+.

This does not only apply to those seeking admission into UNN, UI, UNILAG, or ABU Zaria. It applies to everyone who is currently seeking admission to different universities, especially those who will write Post-UTME. Let this be an awakening call. Let it make you prepare harder for your post-UTME.

EducationHow to Score 350+ In JAMB, A Must Read By All Jambites! by ScholarsPicker(op):
Everyone wants to have a good score, whether you intend to study medicine or you want to study microbiology. You need a good score to have a rest of mind that you will gain admission. While achieving this may not be far from reality, it is important to know that there are secrets that are hidden in the faces of many students preparing for the exam; however, with a good plan, one can ace through just like the saying that if one fails to plan, such person plans to fail.

I am among the best-performing students in JAMB and in the best position to tell some of the ways that will lead to huge success in the Joint Admission Matriculation Board exam. While it is important to acknowledge God and his mercy which helped me to triumph against all odds, it is important to note the role played by being intentional about how successful you want to be. Below are three (3) fundamental steps that can make you score 350+ in JAMB in 2025:

Active Learning and Regular Revision:
As a science student, I was intentional about having one of the best grades in JAMB so I started early to prepare for it. I prepared for the exam more than the way I prepared for my SSCE. I had already read at least two textbooks in each of the four subjects I wrote in the exam. After reading those texts, the next thing I did was to engage actively with the material by summarizing notes, creating mind maps, and teaching concepts to others. My other target was to ensure good retention without doing much cramming work. Therefore, I had to regularly review what I've learned to reinforce my understanding and retention.

Practice with Past Papers:
When I could identify and answer questions thrown at me easily, my next goal was to understand the format of the exam. I needed to hit this exam once by all means, therefore, I looked for the best possible means to achieve this. So I started working on past exam papers to familiarize myself with the exam format and identify common question types. This helps in improving time management and understanding the examiner's expectations. Luckily, I had these online resources where I was able to download FREE JAMB PAST QUESTIONS into my phone. The good thing about the past questions is that I can open them anywhere with my Android phone. I was able to read the past questions even in church. People could think I am engaging on social media chatting but no! I was busy with my preparation using the past questions.

Effective Time Management:
The first day I tried to attempt the past questions, I discovered that I was using more than 60 minutes for each year. The first week of my attempt to skim through the past questions on the subjects of interest took more time than expected. This made me create a study schedule that allocates time for each subject, ensuring I cover all questions within the allotted time. Improvement within a short time became obvious and hope became stronger than I have gotten what it takes to defeat my fear.

Healthy Lifestyle and Stress Management:
As I was busy reading for my exam, I was also busy ensuring that I did not sleep late. I was also sure to eat at the right time. I planned my time in such a way that I was ready to do anything without losing the time allotted to my preparation for JAMB. I maintained a balanced diet, got enough sleep, and exercised regularly to keep my mind and body in optimal condition. Practice relaxation techniques like deep breathing or meditation to manage stress and stay calm during the exam.

These were among the things I was doing and with time, it was glaring to me that I have metamorphosized into someone that will be successful in the exam. The good thing is that in the exam hall, I didn't struggle or think about most questions twice.

These are the tips that helped me. I feel relieved as I have shared it with many students intending to take the JAMB examination.

All the best!
