A few months after graduation (from University), I had to draw up a timetable. Why? Managing my time became increasingly difficult after school. 24 hrs of the day just got spent so quick. The consequences were dire for me as several important activities crucial for personal growth and development were left undone. A timetable serves as your personal timekeeper. There is the tendency to get complacent and leave important task, either academic or otherwise, undone in the absence of a timetable. In the same vein, much time could also be devoted to something trivial. However, a working timetable helps eliminate or reduces to the barest minimum, all of those issues. If you have a hard time following routines or bored by a regimented lifestyle, you might need to be creative with your timetable. Draw up something simple for a start. As you get used to it, more items/activities are gradually added. Also, try rearranging items on the timetable every fortnight or monthly. Remember, your ti

Reports emanating from Kogi State University and monitored by Naija Cgpa indicates that students of the institution from different levels (200L,  300L, 400L, ex 400L) have been directed to return to the school within the first week of December to rewrite examinations already written as far back as January 2017. According to the affected students, the school hinged its decision on the non-submission of their results by the disengaged staff of the institution. The disengaged staff apparently held onto the results as a bargaining chip. The management of the school had earlier sacked over 170 of the lecturers for taking sides with ASUU and failing to call off the strike embarked upon in early February. Miffed at their action, the Governor of the State, Alhaji Yahaya Bello, directed the management of the institution to sack all lecturers who failed to resume. This disengagement of the erring staff has created no small stir in the school. The school has barely been able to c

Wow! Exactly two months since I last made a post. I deeply apologise for the lack of updates. I will be back soon. Remember, keep reading! You can get that eye-popping Cumulative grade point average (CGPA).

If you want good grades, you must be ready to attend classes. Remember you paid tuition. Don't let it waste. This, however, is a less important reason compared to other consequences of truancy. It is advisable that you try as much as possible to be present at all classes in an academic session. How do you intend to ace that examination and obtain that eye-popping CGPA without attending classes? Absenteeism lowers your chances of success, which class attendance guarantees. The benefits of attending classes are outlined below: Obtain marks for class attendance: Lecturers in the university I attended, awarded marks for class attendance. This also applies to many tertiary institutions. This mark could be the difference between getting an A score, and a B. A worthy guide for studying lecture notes and materials: Many textbooks and lecture materials are ambiguous and complex to study. However, when you attend classes, the lecturer, who obviously knows a lot about the subject/

The cumulative performance in all semester/session examination determines what class of degree you get at the end of your academic program. To ace that examination, certain guidelines are essential. I will enumerate some, which if you adhere to, will go a long way in making that examination memorable. These guidelines will help you at every moment, during the course of writing that exam. Let's go through the points together... Pre-examination verification:  Don't get confused by this subtitle. I just had to find and use one. What this means is that you test your materials for efficiency. Your materials could be anything you need to aid you smashing (hehehe)  that examination- pen, calculator, pencils, set square and scale rule among others. Ensure they are in good condition and working properly.

From extensive research, I discovered there are two broad categories of First Class students. The thoroughly baked First Class : students in this category are thoroughbred. They've waded through the rigours of the academics masterfully. They earned their First Class the right way- no use of 'orijo', giving of bribe, or compromising the system. They've undergone countless hours of personal research and study.  They can also apply their knowledge to solve real human problems. All of these attributes put together, and more, have earned them a place at the top.  They can sit, dine and converse with graduates of similar discipline as theirs anywhere in the world. The poorly baked First Class . No doubt, they are bright. However, many in this category got their First Class by any of the following: sheer luck, schooling in institutions with poor standards (many private universities are culpable here),  use of 'orijo', giving of bribes, advanced cramming, garbag

Graduating with a First Class degree is a sweet experience. It is beautiful, amazing, thrilling, awesome and worthy of all the nice adjectives you can think of. Graduating with a First Class means you scored a cumulative grade point average  (CGPA) of 4.5 at the minimum. It also means you have been found worthy in character. A First Class degree opens so many doors of opportunities (to the informed). A First Class degree earned well, earns well. But then, here lies the problem... First Class hasn't helped some people. It is common to see students who graduated with poor grades ridicule First Class graduates with difficulty moving forward after school. "who First Class help?", they ask. Why do many First Class students settle for less? Why do many flatter to deceive? Why can't the First Class be translated to everyday practical life and experience? There would probably be a thousand and one answers to the above questions and its many variations. Students would blame
