Advice To Students: Start Now To Prepare For Life After School

Let's make something clear, “students think". In fact, students think a lot about money, drinks, parties, opposite sex and so on but most importantly students think about their lives after school, which is good.
The bad thing however is that what they think about life after school are majorly unrealistic thoughts like, "hey, I am finally in 100 level studying economics in Kogi State University, and I'll graduate in 4 years’ time, then go for service and probably do some masters and PhD thingy then get a job and make money".
That's so unrealistic that its makes WWE wrestling more real. Its plain garbage thought you need to start getting out of your head. This life isn't Hollywood, and when you're born into one hell of a country like Nigeria you need to wise up and start thinking with your "brain".
If you can take your time and look outside your window to see millions of graduates roaming about the streets you'll probably understand that it’s not as easy as you think it is, if it was that easy your parents and your friends parents and all parents in Nigeria will be multi billionaires and you may not even need to go to school.
Life isn't easy, and Nigeria is making life even harder for Nigerians. The labour market is so choked up, it will take extra power for an angel to pass through. There is hardship in every corner of the country and the earlier you realize these things, the better for you.
So instead partying and smiling all around school why don't you sit yourself down and not only think logically but also plan logically. These topics might get you onto the right path:
- First and foremost you need to realize you only have one life to live, every circumstance you find yourself will most definitely come once, you don't go to primary school twice, well, except you're going there the second time to teach or something. My point is, in every situation you find yourself you have to try hard in making the best outta that situation, if you don't succeed, it’s okay, at least you tried.
- Ask yourself questions, like why are there few rich people in the country, what can I do to get there, what are my potentials, what are my weaknesses. You have tons of questions you should start asking yourself.
- You need to start tasking yourself. Are you too young to make money?? I mean, there are lots of unemployed graduates out there who still depend on their parents. I know you don't want to belong in that category when you're done with school. You need to know what you have to do to make that money so you do not have to depend on anybody.
God has given you a talent, why don't you discover it and start using it to make money now. There are tons of things you can do as an undergraduate that can cough out money for you, you just need to think and plan on how to strike a balance between your academics and what you're doing.
It's not how petty the job is or how little you're earning. It’s about knowing for a fact that you can do something to improve your situation.
A lot of OND, HND, BSc, PhD holders are out there (those certs are common these days), some even have all those certs with them at the moment but have nothing to show for it because they failed to realize that school is not about learning on how to work for a boss, it’s also about how to develop yourself to being your own boss.
- You need to stop thinking about your future and know that the future you are thinking of is "NOW". You have to start thinking and planning logically from now on.
- You need to start encouraging yourself to do things that'll make you big. Forget where you are now, it doesn't matter, its where you're going to be when it’s all said and done that matters.
Forget the fact that you stay in Dagana or you stay in one shady place around KSU, and your fellow mates stay in billionaires lodge or exquisite lodge (it’s probably not their money anyways), it doesn't matter. What matters is that you are formulating a plan that will change your situation when four years is done and dusted.
- All in all you have to think of doing only what's necessary to get that money, not something people like or what they don't like, not what brings shame to you or doesn't bring shame to you, you don't have to care what people think about you, 'cause at the end of it all it's you and only you that matters.
Nobody remembers the disgusting or not disgusting things Dangote has done in the past, because it was necessary to get him to where he is now, “the richest man in Africa".

Smart classroom:Bowen varsity deploys N5me-learning...

In line with the 21st  century smart classroom, Bowen University has deployed over N5 million  interactive electronic boards from its information technology partner, New Horizons Limited.
The e-learning  tools are expected to expose  students of the university to 21st  century learning environment.
The President of the Nigerian Baptist Convention, Dr. Supo Ayokunle supported by Convention Chairman , Reverend Dr. Kehinde Olumide and the vice chancellor of the University, Professor Mathews Ojo, while receiving the boards on behalf of the university at an event , said that  the solutions would position the University for global competitiveness.
He commended New Horizons Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Tim Akano and his team for the high-end equipment which are expected to further ease and improve the process of learning by Bowen students.
Similarly, he also used the occasion to laud the university’s existing partnership initiative with New Horizons on integration of professional international certification-based IT and e-business skills into the academic curricula of Bowen students. Ayokunle said it would boost their employability and entrepreneurial chances upon graduation. He cited the example of his son who did a professional international certification on EC Council Certified Ethical Hacking in one of the New Horizons open training centres some years back and is making big waves in Canada today as an IT security specialist after acquiring more IT professional skills and certifications.
He advised the vice chancellor to ensure that Bowen students benefits maximally from the IT partnership by making it one of the mandatory courses for all students irrespective of their academic disciplines.
Earlier in his response, Akano charged parents and education stakeholders in Nigeria to ensure that their wards take advantage of the opportunity offered by International IT Skills and Certifications to compete at the local and global level without any form of inferiority complex.
