BEFORE THE GOODBYES TO THE SYSTEM.           Some courses take up to 6 years for completion while some, 4 years(it is the most common). Before the goodbyes to the system, there must be thorough evaluation of everything you have acquired for the years spent.  1. MORALS.         It is essential for every student to pass through school with passion and also ensure that the school passes through you by embedding knowledge and morals to complete your lifestyle. It was earlier said that, "attitude is everything", no doubt it is because one might graduate with a first class certification but do not have a good moral value, such a person might be a nuisance to the society, a failure in life. Your character takes you far in life especially the ladies as some might end up finding the right life partner in school. Evaluate your morals and see if it is fit for the society and quickly make amendments.  2. CONNECTION.    ...

NATIONAL YOUTH SERVICE CORPS (NYSC).            The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) is a one-year program/training that every graduate from either the public or private higher institutions must partake in. It was formed 22nd of May 1973 by Yakubu Gowon with its headquarters situated in Abuja, Nigeria. It was set up to mend the gap the civil war caused on the national. When a student graduates, he or she would be deployed to any state different from the state of origin, away from friends, family and familiarities for intense military training, this training is to imbibe discipline on them. The orientation and training might last for 3 weeks at most and after that, the graduates would be deployed to their Places of Primary Assignment (PPA) where they would be expected to complete their (eleven month with a month of vacation) service to the country; for every week or two weeks, days would be allocated to them to carry out community services. It is mostly k...

PUBLIC AND PRIVATE TERTIARY INSTITUTIONS.              The Nigerian educational institution consists of both public and private schools. The public tertiary institutions are properties of either the state or federal government. They are fully funded by the government and fees are subsidized. The private tertiary Institutions are owned by private investors, religious institutions, business mogul and seasoned academia who have keen interest in education, hence placed their resources in developing international competing institutions. Private institutions are very expensive. Their tuition is very high and in most cases cannot be afforded by the ordinary man on the street. They have little or no assistance from the government.             From the inception of university education in Nigeria with the then Ibadan College known today as the University of Ibadan. Education had a whole new meaning because people could then st...

   Defining relationships, this is by far one of the challenges an average student faces in school. Right from the pri-primary stage, they have been introduced to some students that became friends unlike the university stage where one would need to choose who stays and leaves, thereby defining relationship.  In as much as seriousness is vital, the need for healthy relationships matter too because connection rules the world. It is very necessary to keep yourself in check because of course, the opposite gender lurks around the corner.  HOW TO KEEP HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS.      Keeping healthy relationships is far more than the "his" and "hellos" we say to each other, it has to do with constant communication and care. We have introverts and extroverts in the school environment, people that prefers to stay on the low and the outgoing type.

   We have heard how schools have been labelled as "scam" and how some students have bragged of dropping out because of the workload and stress. Come to think of it, why would you opt for education knowing fully well what is involved and wanting to back out at the tail-end?. This is one predicament students go through. No course in the institution is easy, everything you want to achieve comes with hardwork and determination. The system has made education in a way that only the strong and willed ones gets admitted as there are different stages and tests to pass so as to become a bonafide student.       Growing up, everyone had dreams and furures they intend to build with the first key being education. It is very necessary to be educated even if at all you've settled to do business because it gets to a point you would need to stand up for yourself in the midst of your mates and show what you are capable of, if you are not educated, you would be taken as a jok...

No matter how calm a sea is, there might just be a storm waiting around the corner and to overcome such storm, there's a need for an experienced sailor.

This is where the Students' Union Government, SUG comes in; in the government, we have different offices like the the welfare director, sport director, social director to mention a few.
