AFTER UNIVERSITY WHAT NEXT?

 AFTER THE UNIVERSITY WHAT NEXT?

Education is the foundation of success. Just as scholastic skills are vitally important, donate financial skills and communication skills....... Robert T. Kiyosaki

"Study hard and get good grades and you will find a high paying job with great benefits​" most parents used to say or still say. Most of our parents goals is to provide us with good Education so that we would have the greatest chance for success in life.

The world today is changing but the Education is not changing with it.

We spend years in an antiquated Educational system, studying subjects we will never use. For instance:
    An engineering student who has been looking for 'X' from 100 level down to 500  level. Or a
     Sociology student studying and cramming the year each theory was propounded by different scholars. Scholars like Auguste Comte, Emile Durkheim, Talcott Parsons, etc. Or a 
      Political science student studying Karl Marx theories all through his/ her stay in the department...

Be savvy that the brain is the most powerful computer in the world. Channel it toward your future not only your present place or position.

As students, we are engross with our scholastic life every day. All we do is to wake up, rush to School, attend lectures​ all day, come back home tired, weak and stressed out, graphics a food and off to bed. The same routine every day and finally excel academically, graduate or convocate.

After convocation what next? We are now faced with the reality of the outside​ world. Remember if you fail to plan then you plan to fail. Why not pause and ask yourself " am i prepared for the life after school?".

The old advise from our parents " go to school, study hard and get good grades and then​ you will find a high paying job with great benefits" no longer work in this present world. The rich are growing richer while the poor are getting poorer.

Please don't code me wrong, i am not saying Education is bad. Education is one of the requirements or foundation of success. Just as scholastic skills are important, so are financial skills and communication skills.........Add a tinge to your scholastic life.

As a friend of mine will say "Education is just a society requirements but not the only requirement for success"

*DIVIDEND OF DEMOCRACY AS A MIRAGE IN NIGERIA SOCIO-POLITICAL MILIEU* *INTRODUCTION*           By May 2019, Nigeria’s nascent democracy should have been two decades. Thus, the thrust of this article is an in depth analysis on how dividends of democracy is a mirage in Nigeria socio-political milieu. This article however, takes a cursory look at the daunting challenges ahead and infers that unless the government increases expenditure and truncate the current brazen corruption, the hope of democratic consolidation may eventually be a mirage.

Not a Do or Die affair

JAMB- not a DO or DIE The joint admission and matriculation board(JAMB) is one of the examination we can not just easily avoid in Nigeria. As a secondary school student aspiring to further his or her education through the tertiary institution you must write this exam and your performance will determine if you will be admitted or not into the tertiary institution. Every year, over 600,000 students apply for JAMB. Your application does not automatically qualify you for ADMISSION as there are other factors attached to the APPLICATION for the exam. We have students who wrote the exam once, pass and they were admitted instantly. We also have students who have written the exam more than once maybe twice or even more than, pass the required CUTOFF mark and yet were not admitted either into the university or polytechnic as people do say that in Nigeria it is MAN KNOW MAN, i think  this is also applicable to JAMB and admission process except with divine intervention. Also, we Have stu...

BEAUTIFUL ON THE OUTSIDE, UGLY ON THE INSIDE All through our lives we are been taught HYGIENE both personal hygiene and environmental hygiene in our formal and informal Educational sector. Through formal education, we were taught in the nursery school, primary school, secondary school, mass media etc. about the importance of hygiene. Informally, we learn from our elders, parents and even through the government who imposes sanitation at least once a month in every state. Surprisingly most of us are not learning. We know the importances of hygiene but yet we are not practising it. Here, I want to focus on our personal hygiene because I believe that if you are personally clean then your environment will be clean. Personal hygiene is very important for both sex but more important for the female fork. So please permit to focus on the female forks. In Africa and probably the world in general, women are very strong and powerful. The importances of a lady cannot be over emphasised....
