Bayero University Kano (BUK) releases new tuition fee and hostel fee, with almost 200% increment.

University Education is no longer for the poor, God help us.

Take advantage of ASUU STRKE
It is the usual ASUU strike as we all know. And this time can be a very disappointing time for almost every Nigerian students of federal and state Universities. However I am not here to complain and lament about how bad the strike is and how the time of students is being wasted and all. I am sure we all know that already and still nothing has changed. So you see.
Therefore, as a student that has been affected by this #ASUU strike, please do not waste away this time of your life. School is not on session does not mean your #life should not be on session too.
Find something productive to engage yourself in while waiting for the strike to get called off. Your life should not be on a PAUSE because of ASUU and federal government.
Tertiary institution is just 1 aspect of life out of the so many other aspects of life.
Please, make this time of your life count.
List of 5 things you can engage yourself with before the strike get call off

1. Learn a new #skill
Learning a skill, be it manual or digital is very important to you as a student and even as a person in general.
A skill you learn during this strike can go a long way in saving you from SAPA when you resume School.
PS: If you don't know the meaning of #Sapa , ask a Nigerian student

2.Improve on your knowledge by reading books
The importance of reading can not be over emphasized. Reading books would increase you in knowledge, help you learn more, improve your awareness and make you versed.
You can read books on whatever you find interesting to you.
However, because I am obsessed with personal development I would recommend you read books on self development and growth to grow yourself and help you become a better person.

3. Start a business
You that has a flair for #business. This is an opportunity you can leverage on to start that business you have wanting to start. Stop looking at all those reasons stopping you from starting. Find a way to make it work and it will.

4. Enroll for courses
There are a whole lot of courses going on both online and offline, both paid and free.
What's stopping you from enrolling?
If you can't afford the paid ones then give a try to the free ones.
You never know, what you learn now and make you earn tommorow.

5. Develop your skills
Lastly, develop your skills, those skills you already have. Don't just sit at home and while away time. You are good at writing, this is a time you can develop your writing skills.
You have a skill in photography, this is the to improve it.
Whatever skill it is you have, and no matter how good you are at it already, there is always room for improvement. Busy yourself with YouTube videos to help you or enroll for related courses.

Finally, whatever it is you choose to do, please do. Even if it's one out of the five, it's ok. Just don't waste this time of your life please. If you are confused, ask questions and I am sure you would find answers.
Remember you are the future and for the future to be bright you need to equip yourself.

I'm getting desperate with this Snepco scholarship, pls anyone with the tips about when they are going to start contacting the awardees. It is almost a month since i was informed that my name has been sent to our school for verification. I think by now they suppose to have started contacting us. And plz how long it takes to start disbursing the award

Please how did you get the information that your name has been sent to your for verification?

sagieramos:

I've witness inmates fed with gavani 20(a type of pesticides) added into their malnourishing and unhygienic meal at Oba prison, Abeokuta (dem no tell me... I chop from the same meal for good 2 weeks before I was released from a crime even my plaintiff attested my innocency)... Only God's kingdom can remove the wickedness being perpetrated by man

I know things like this happen, I am not disputing these facts. However, coming out to say a prisoner has no right whatsoever is wrong. Prisoners have rights just that in this part of the world where we find ourselves no one gives a damn about their rights. Infact, a freeman in Nigeria still gets his right trampled on on a daily basis, talk less of a prisoner.

omoadeleye:



Don't you know that those drugs you have been using are always being tested from prisoners first before making it to the public?

Never heard of anything of such. However, that does not mean prisoners don't have rights.

omoadeleye:



A prisoner cease to enjoy the privilege life of a citizen of a country and not a citizen again, so whatever can be done to a prisoner cause they can never claim any rights again....

Excuse you!!! What happens to the 'rights of a prisoner'. In case you've never heard of it, please google it so next time you won't say anything can be done to prisoners.

Olumide2001:

NisforNicky:

sista look for one pls ask somebody

Alright thanks

horpeyemmi66:

Yes, I thought I was commenting on a Total Scholarship Thread.

Zeenab, Mustapha1029, pstmikol1 please be guided appropriately.

It would be preferable if you used a laptop with a functioning Webcam or Desktop with a Mounted webcam.

Do not open more than 1 tabs (the tab you're using for the test) as your IP address would be monitored.

Please can't we use a phone, because I currently don't have access to a laptop

horpeyemmi66:

Hello,

Calculators are not allowed and you cannot take the Test anywhere else but one of the stipulated centers under any of your two most preferred locations.

This year's test is online. I was shortlisted too and the text message I got clearly state that the test is online. What I am confused about is no exact time of the day was stated, does that mean we can log in anytime of the day ?

Repairguru:

chariisGRACE:
I never enter school yet, but i'm looking forward to selling Okrika clothes as a side hustle

That's what I do currently as an undergraduate. I pay my school fees and feed from it and still send my beloved mama small small change from it but mama left me some months ago. May God have mercy on her soul.

Still Collating

a. A business is an organisation/economic system where goods&services are exchanged for one another or for money.
b. I intend to invest the 50k into my already existing mobile business of buying&selling of ladies wears, under wears and fashion accessories. I call it mobile because my business follows me everywhere I go, this is because I am an under graduate who schools in a state different from where I live.
48 to 49k would go directly into buying the wears while the remaining 1 or 2k would be for tfare depending on my location as at the time of the carrying out the business. No need of space
c. I expect to make the money back within a month if I run within my residential area or within 2weaks if I run it from my school hostel as customer base is higher there.
A little breakdown
1dozenpack of pant(s size) cost 1000, 1piece sells at 200x12=2400
That's profit of 1400 for just a pack

Hmmmn! This is serious

Habinibi:

Pls mummy I need to talk with you seriously.

Lols! mummy ke? I am just one small girl sis. I had to contribute because I have on countless times started up small businesses with way less than 50k. I remember in my first year in school I started okrika business with less than 8k. I went into an okrika market in the state where I school, I got 10 joggers at 400naira each which equals to 4k then I got ladies top 30pieces at 100naira = 3k whick amounts to 7k total. I think I spent 450 or 500 as my tfare to and fro. Ps. I stay in one of the female hostels on campus. Back to my gist, on getting to my hostel I went room by room on my floor for marketing I remember before I got to the 10th room I have sold all my joggers 7 at 800naira while 3 at 700naira and more than 10 tops can' t remember how many exactly but was selling tops at 200, 2 at 300 sometimes depending on the bargaining power of the buyer. I gained 3100 for the joggers alone that night and 1000+ for tops

Personally, I can start up buying and selling of alot of things with 50k. Undies is one as someone has mentioned above. Okrika business is another or even buying and selling of new clothes like ladies gowns, tops, leggings, etc depending on your hustling spirit and targetted customers. 50k can even start up selling of make up, jewelries etc. It all depends on how you want to start but personally I believe in starting small. When I say small I mean as small as possible. For me even 1k can start up something. I would have shared a bit of my personal experience but let me stop here.

Inna lil lahi wa inna ilaihi raji un. May Allah have mercy on his soul and grant him jannatul firdaus

Us you say?

Nice one Op.

May Allah make us witness Ramadhan in good health. Plus May Allah bless the Op with goodness. Ameen

May Allah bless the OP with goodness. I am a muslimah and I preach peace and tolerance

Congratulations Suleiman Muhammad

Firstly, divorce is never a thing to joke or scare a spouse with. It should only be said when meant. Secondly, learning to control oneself when angry is of very great importance. Because as a husband and probably a father, your wife and kids will get definitely get you angry from time to time, but being in control and not getting all flared up is what makes you the head. However, anger management is important to a have a happy married life, irrespective of gender.

Op more knowledge to you in shaa Allah. I really like the fact that you gave the women an alternative love charm by stating the halal love charm.
