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".

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.

JAMB 2016 Registration Closing Date

The closing date for the registration of the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) as earlier announced by JAMB remains January 16th, 2016.

Though there are rumours that there's likely going to be an extension, our JAMB source has notified us that there is no official statement to that effect yet.

We therefore wish to advise all Myschoolers who are yet to purchase their 2016 UTME forms to do so on or before January 15th, 2016.

This also extends to candidates who are still waiting for supplementary or additional list of their choice schools for the 2015/2016 admission year to be released.

It is always a bad idea to have all your eggs in one basket. There is no 100% guarantee that your name will appear on the list even if the school eventually releases it.

To be on a safe side, get the JAMB form before it expires. That way, even if you miss the 2015/2016 admission, you will still stand a chance in the 2016/2017 session.

However, if JAMB eventually extends the registration, we will be the first to inform you about that.

Also remember the examination is expected to commence February 29th 2016 (all things being equal).

Is Breast Sucking Good For You?

There have been various speculations about whether sucking boobs is good or not.
Yetunde Arebi who writes for Vanguard has analaysed some of the benefits involved in the sucking of the breasts. According to her, sucking the breasts is very beneficial to both the woman being sucked and the man that is sucking it….

Read the article below:
The female breasts, also known as “the twins” or “the girls”, have remained the most conspicuous and attractive feature of the female sexual organ. Perhaps, its strategic positioning and function adds to its importance in the life of a woman.
Besides the age long biological function of the breasts as a source of food and nourishment for babies, the breast is also a major source of sexual attraction for the male specie, just as it is also a key sexual organ for the woman, highly sensitive to stimulation. The fact that they come in various shapes and sizes, further add to their uniqueness and endearing place in our hearts as humans.

As a sexual organ, the breasts have been known to give immense pleasure to both men and women during sexual encounters. In fact, some women have reportedly disclosed that they are capable of achieving orgasm even when thoroughly stimulated through sucking and caressing of the breasts alone. Though, because of this highly sensitive nature, some women find it very uncomfortable or even painful to submit their twin girls to constant sexual manipulation of any kind.
Interestingly, men are constantly drawn to the breasts. A lot of this attraction has been attributed to psychological composition, perception and beliefs.

For, pray, why would a full grown man be obsessed with sucking some mounds of milkless breasts? I don’t often get logical answers to this question when I ask. The function of the breasts in sexual behaviour has been attributed to human Face -to -Face copulation that is unusual among other mammals. Since the breast already serves the function of mother-infant bonding, then it is also excellent for male -female bonding, says an argument. After all, it is just within reach

Touching Story!

A man was in his jeep, he got to
the Lagos traffic, he looked up and
he saw a man flying a private jet,
he said "How i wish, if I will
reach up to this level so i can avoid
Lagos traffic".

When he looked behind he saw a man in a small
car praying to God to give him a
jeep to avoid the heat
As that one looked up he saw another man in a
motorcycle (Okada) also praying
to God to give him a small car
because the sun is too much
Another man was trekking across the bridge
also praying for God to give him okada
to avoid crossing the bridge all the
time
As he walked down he saw a
cripple also praying for God to
give him legs so that he can cross the
bridge without wheelchair
As the cripple was praying he saw
ambulance passing by and the
person inside also praying for God
to give the dead body life and take away
the two legs.

Moral Lesson:
No matter your condition always
give thanks to God.

NOUN convocation: Obasanjo bags MA degree

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo is among over 5,000 students that would be graduating from the National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN) at its coming convocation. He would be conferred with MA degree in Christian Theology following successful completion of the 2014/2015 academic session.
Expectedly, the former President is going to be the star attraction at the 5th convocation  ceremony scheduled to hold at University Village, Cadastral Zone, Nnamdi Azikiwe Expressway, Jabi-­Abuja.
Already, the Management of the institution had concluded arrangements for successful hosting of the convocation ceremony slated for Friday and Saturday, January 15 and 16 respectively. A statement signed by the NOUN’s Director, Media and Information, Dr. Ronke Ogunmakin, said the convocation lecture with the theme: ‘’Open and Distance Education and Socio-Economic Development’’-­would be delivered by Prof. Nuhu Yaqub, Vice Chancellor, Sokoto State University on Friday, January 15.
According to her, the convocation ceremony would feature conferment of certificates, diplomas, bachelor degrees, post graduate diplomas, masters and honorary doctorate degrees on the graduands, who had been found worthy in character and learning.
She further hinted that the occasion would be used to inaugurate the senate building and the specialist hospital sponsored by TETFUND, while His Royal Majesty, Igwe Ambassador Lawrence Okolio Chikezie Agubuzu of Olo Kingdom, Ezeagu Local Government Area, Enugu State, would also be installed as The first Chancellor of the university.

Kaduna Begins Free School Feeding For Primary And Secondary Schools

  Kaduna State Government has announced the beginning of free feeding of all public primary schools pupils with effect from January
17th, 2016.
Commissioner of Education, Science and Technology, Dr. Shehu Usman Adamu, while addressing newsmen in Kaduna, said public primary schools would resume 17 January while secondary schools will resume on January 11. He said this will allow for the fine-tuning and readiness of food vendors and schools to facilitate effective delivery of the free feeding programme.
According to Adamu, between 11 January and 15 January, vendors would be reconfirming their logistics and deepening their relationships with school authorities. The vendors recruited in each of the 255 wards have been organized into cooperative societies to serve free meals in every primary school in the state.
“The past few months have been a busy time for the Kaduna State Ministry of Education. During this time, the government has begun a programme of school rehabilitation, teacher recruitment and training needs assessment for current teachers. Each of these initiatives has recorded tremendous progress, and these priority areas will continue to command the attention of the government in the current session and beyond.
“As you are aware, the 2016 Budget makes ample provision for this government’s School Feeding programme. This intervention in improving the nutrition of our young pupils commences this term, from the very first day that school resumes. This intervention reinforces our thrust to expand access to education.”
“Therefore, the school feeding programme will be formally launched when pupils in government-owned primary schools in Kaduna State resume on Monday, 17 January 2016. This will afford the primary school pupils 11 weeks of tuition, with no loss of academic time. However, secondary schools across the state will resume as scheduled.
“Academic activities in secondary schools will commence on Monday, 11 January 2016, while boarders are expected to return to school by 10 January 2016.
“I am delighted to inform you that the vendors that will serve meals in every primary school have been recruited, and the daily menu has been set. The vendors in each of the 255 wards have been organized into cooperative societies. School-based management committees, comprising of parents and notable community figures, have also been sensitized to support, monitor and report on the performance of the programme in each of our schools.
“The PTAs and the SBMCs of each primary school will also meet theirrespective vendors to jointly review the procedures and modalities for effective service delivery.
“The lessons learnt during the dry-run will be swiftly applied. And we shall strictly monitor the programme to ensure that any bottlenecks that emerge in the initial stages are resolved. No one should doubt our resolve to deliver this promise to our pupils and their parents.
“The programme is designed to boost the economy at the grassroots by involving people at the community level as the vendors. It will also expand the market for our farmers even as it brings more of our people into the formal economy.
“I ask for the support of parents and school authorities to assist the satisfactory delivery of this programme. It is an initiative for which we must have the flexibility for continuous improvement. We expect that every day will surpass the preceding day in terms of delivery. For this reason, we will be announcing more feedback channels to enable our people to provide comments and suggestions, and expose shortcomings or wrongdoing,” Adamu said.

UNIJOS Over 3 Months Strike Continues With No End In Sight

University of Jos which is of resent ranked as the second best of the second generation universities has had its academic activities put on hold due to strike embarked on by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) UNIJOS Chapter.

The university has been shut down for the past three months and it seems there is no end to it yet as the chairman of ASUU UNIJOS chapter claims that since the strike commenced the school management has met with them just once and the management are not ready to meet their demands.

The school management on the other hand claims to have paid some money to the lecturers but (ASUU) UNIJOS Chapter said the money paid was not part of their demands that the money was paid without the management giving reasons for the payment.

It was also confirmed that (ASUU) UNIJOS Chapter has demanded 100 million as there share from the money released to all universities from the last ASUU strike.

Now the questions begging for answers are: How long will our lecturers keep us at home for there problems with the school management? Why can't ASUU find other means of engaging the school management without involving the students? Why must the school with hold the lecturers allowances?

These strikes are killing higher education in Nigeria.

We the students of UNIJOS therefore call on all who believes in the future of this nation to intervene in this ongoing strike in UNIJOS.

Funny JAMB "Back to Back" Message

JAMB "Back
Every Single JAMB was a Hit Back to Back!
From 2012 to 2013 to 2014 to 2015...
Yet, No Admission Given Yet!

2016, Final Bus-Stop... Let’s Go There...

JAMB 2016 Registration Closing Date

 The closing date for the registration of the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) as earlier announced by JAMB remains January 16th, 2016.
Though there are rumours that there's likely going to be an extension, our JAMB source has notified us that there is no official statement to that effect yet.
We therefore wish to advise all Myschoolers who are yet to purchase their 2016 UTME forms to do so on or before January 15th, 2016.
This also extends to candidates who are still waiting for supplementary or additional list of their choice schools for the 2015/2016 admission year to be released.
It is always a bad idea to have all your eggs in one basket. There is no 100% guarantee that your name will appear on the list even if the school eventually releases it.
To be on a safe side, get the JAMB form before it expires. That way, even if you miss the 2015/2016 admission, you will still stand a chance in the 2016/2017 session.
However, if JAMB eventually extends the registration, we will be the first to inform you about that

Robbers Disguise As Policemen, Attack, Rape Corps Members

  Seven corps members returning from the recent holidays were among the 16 passengers attacked by robbers at a spot on the Kaduna-Abuja highway on Sunday.
The females among the corps members serving in Enugu and Ebonyi states were reportedly defiled by the hoodlums who blocked the highway to stop vehicles.
A victim of the attack told theNews Agency of Nigeriain Enugu on Friday that the 16-seater bus carrying them was attacked by the robbers who disguised as policemen.
She said that the bus left Television Garage in Kaduna around 8:30pm and was attacked a few kilometres away from the garage.
The victim further said the robbers mounted a road block to give the impression that they were policemen on duty.
“As we approached the road block, the driver noticed that they were not policemen and tried to retreat but it was late.
“The robbers sensing what our driver wanted to do, left other cars and descended on us,” she said.
The victim said that the robbers forcefully defiled all the female corps members in the bus and took all their belongings which included laptops, jewelries, handsets, foodstuffs and money.
The corps member appealed to the government to ensure adequate security on the highways.

Federal Government Plans to extend NYSC scheme underway

The NigerianFederal Governmenthas revealed plans to extend the National Youth Service Corps programme.
This is according to Minister of Youth Development and Sports,Mr. Solomon Dalongduring a speech at Lagos State NYSC orientation camp.

Dalong, has said the Federal Government plans to expand theNational Youth Service Corpsscheme to include skill acquisition and entrepreneurial training.

He said, “Apart from the basic orientation programme, the NYSC scheme should also move into including professional and enterprising programmes to support and motivate those who would not want to embrace public services in the country.

“After the mandatory one-year service, the Federal Government is planning an extension, to professionally train interested corps members in skill acquisition, enterprising and professional programmes.

“Corps members with keen interest would be retained and some financial token given to them as start-up capital in furtherance of their skill.

“This is because due to our research, we found out that people abandon school due to uncertainty of the future. Hence, we believe this would help reduce the unemployed graduate ratio and curtail pressure on white-collar job as a means to win the war against poverty.”

He also assured that any candidate who took part in the additional training after the mandatory one-year service, will be presented with a start-up capital at the end of the training.

FreedomCatholic bishop responsible for release of JSS 2 student, 25 others from prison

The Catholic Bishop of Yola Diocese in Adamawa State, Most Rev.Stephen Dami Mamza, has facilitated thereleaseof 26 inmates serving various prison sentences at the Yola Maximum Prison.

According toThe Eaglereports, Mamza took this action in order to commemorate 2016 as the Year of Peace as set aside by the Pontiff, Pope Frances II.
The bishop explained, during a short speech at the prison, that he felt compassion for the inmates who have been in prison for over a year simply because they could not afford to pay the fine needed for their release.

Speaking on how he found out about the plight of the inmate, Mamza disclosed that when he visited the prisons last Christmas, one of them revealed that he was sentenced to 2 years, but given an option of N700 fine.

Bishop Mamzasaid: “One of them in prison jailed for two years was unable to pay N700 as the option of fine but he couldn’t afford to pay and he is serving two years.
“For some others, it is N1,000.
“But the highest is only about N15,000.
“So I got somebody to compile those affected.

“I decided to do this because this year is very special and has been declared by the Holy Farther Pope Francis as the Year of Mercy.

“We need to be merciful to one another so that God can be merciful to us.
“We must remain our brother’s keepers and love those who are in need.”

One of the release inmates,Blessing Ishaku, a 15-year-old JSS 2 student, said she was arrested by vigilantes while sitting outside her house and taken to a police station and she was taken to court and jailed for three years with an option fine of N15,000, but she was unable to pay the fine so she has spent one month at the Yola Prison. She was thankful that she avoided the jail sentence of 3 years which would have been her fate, and thanked the Catholic church for coming to her rescue.

Kebbi Students Lament Non-Payment Of Scholarship Fees

Some students from Kebbi state during the weekend expressed displeasure over the non-payment of their scholarship by the state government.

In a meeting with the state governor, Abubakar Bagudu the delegation of 40 students were by Musa Bunza and Abdulrahman Diri from Ahmadu Bello University Zaria (ABU Zaria) and Usman Danfodio University Sokoto (UDUS) respectively laid several complaints on a backlog of registration fees among others.

Some of the students from ABU Zaria disclosed that they have not received either registration or scholarship payments for the past eight years.

The student leaders added that previous administrations had made several random payments blindly under executive orders.

“No verifiable records of how many students are from the state or even the amount paid exist, the funds appropriated goes in cash to various people, while most students deny receiving such scholarship provisions.

“A fraudulent observation made was that each time this cash get approved, students have already paid their fees and most of them are not usually refunded,”a student lamented.

Also, some of the Kebbi student indigenes at the Sokoto state University complained of inadequate or lack of accommodation.
In his response to the student’s plight, the state governor promised to accelerate all due payments and to look into ways of providing hostel for Kebbi students.
Bagudu said that there would be a total overhauling of the education sector by his administration which he said will not just cover registration for students but living expenses.

He said with the review of student’s scholarships in the state, it is expected that confirmed students will get up to 40% to 50% increase in funding.

“For the First time ever, we actually now know Kebbi state has 4,097 students in Usman Danfodio University Sokoto alone, this figure was gotten after the government ordered the state scholarship board to carry out a verification exercise of all students,”Bagudu said.

Bagudu further approved the release of N130,051,000 for the payment of registration fees, matriculation of the undergraduate students in the institution.
He ordered that all the students who had offset their fees be refunded.

“Also, approval has already been given for the 60 Kebbi state medical students studying in Sudan and India. Delays are being experienced in transferring the money due to the new foreign exchange guidelines,”he said.

However, the governor gave assurance that the issue was under review by the Central Bank of Nigeria was being looked at holistically by the CBN.

It has also been discovered that most often students from the state do not formally apply for scholarship.
It was gathered that some of the students assume that since they are from a state then scholarship is automatic.

“Scholarship is not an automatic right, it has to be applied for through the scholarship board not the governor,”the governor said.

Before now, scholarships were approved from the office of the state governor but Bagudu noted that the practise will not continue under his administration.

He said that all applications must be sent through the state’s scholarship board and approvals gotten from them.

No Plans To Abolish NYSC Scheme – FG

The Federal government of Nigeria, Tuesday asserted that there is no plan to abolish the National Youth Service Corps scheme.
The Minister of Youth Development and Sports, Mr. Solomon Dalong who made this know in Lagos on Tuesday, said the scheme had come to stay, adding that its merits outweighed its demerits.
The minister said this during an inspection tour of the Lagos State NYSC orientation camp in the Iyana Ipaya area of the state on Tuesday.
He stressed that the scheme had not only enhanced the socio-cultural and ethnic integration in the country but had also promoted national unity.
He said, “We cannot dismiss the gains of the NYSC scheme in integrating Nigeria; I will stand firmly for the sustenance of the system, to continue in its capacity-building of Nigeria citizens because it is an indispensable aspect of diversifying our culture.”
He said such graduates would be provided with a start-up capital at the end of the training, which according to him would indirectly stimulate interest in education.
“Apart from the basic orientation programme, the NYSC scheme should also move into including professional and enterprising programmes to support and motivate those who would not want to embrace public services in the country.
“After the mandatory one-year service, the Federal Government is planning an extension, to professionally train interested corps members in skill acquisition, enterprising and professional programmes.
“Corps members with keen interest would be retained and some financial token given to them as start-up capital in furtherance of their skill. This is because due to our research, we find out that people abandon school due to uncertainty of the future. Hence, we believe this would help reduce the unemployed graduate ratio and curtail pressure on white-collar job as a means to win the war against poverty”, he further stated.
Dalong expressed satisfaction over the state of the Lagos NYSC orientation camp, and thanked the Lagos State government for its support for the scheme.
He said, “Nigeria did not plan to have the number of graduates in this present dispensation. If we had planned effectively, the concept of NYSC camping would have started with a permanent and effective structure.
“The visionaries of the scheme did not anticipate the lifespan of the scheme after the Civil War; the implementation of the scheme was a strategy to mobilise and integrate Nigerians together, hence, the huge number of graduates each year has put much pressure on the facilities, calling for constant renovation and upgrading,” the minister said.

Change is coming to LASU, hostels as wel

Undergraduates of the Lagos State University Ojo, will finally get the hostels they have long desired and craved.
The Lagos state Government has also approved 70 years as retirement age for professors of the institution.
Governor Akinwumi Ambode on Tuesday, signed the Lagos State University (Amendment) Bill, into law at the Lagos House, Ikeja.
The Bill, which was signed into law, also approved a five-year single term for the Vice-Chancellor of the school.
Ambode said the law was aimed at raising the standard of the school to an enviable position and making LASU a school to be proud of.
“It is the desire of the state government to build a LASU that will produce better students. In the next
few days, changes will begin to happen in the school.”
Ambode stated that the law was a demonstration of his commitment to actualise the dream of the founding fathers of the institution, while adding that
he was determined to see LASU develop and churn
out young professionals.

Rankings UNIPORT makes list of top 30 University in Africa

The Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to the Vice President,Mr. Laolu Akande, in a statement on Sunday, January 3, revealed that the Federal Government would not import food for its school feeding programme.

The School FeedingProgramme, which is another aspect of the social intervention programmes, would be entirely homegrown, unlike previous Federal Government plans in the past which relied on importation.

Akande said, “Homegrown school feeding programme will commence in public primary schools in the New Year providing adequate nutrition to schoolchildren, promoting local farming, boost agriculture and create jobs and wealth locally.

“We have experts working in the Presidency, collaborating with experts from global bodies who together will bring to bear international best practices working on how best to implement these programmes.

I can tell you that no sooner had President Buhari resumed work than many of these experts have been meeting and planning on how best to implement these plans.

“We are not talking here of something hurriedly put together or a programme where some consultants would take the huge chunk of the resources.”

He also said provision had been made for about one million jobs in 2016, including 500,000 graduate-youths to be engaged as teachers and another 500,000 non-graduate unemployed people, who would be trained as artisans.

University of Ilorin JAMB increases university's admission quota to 9000 - VC

Prof.AbdulGaniyu Ambali, the Vice- Chancellor,(V-C)University of Ilorin, (Unilorin) inKwara, on Monday said that theJoint Admissions and Matriculation Board(JAMB) had increased the university’s admission quota from 7,800 to 9,000.
Ambali who disclosed this during an interactive session with newsmen inIlorinsaid that the development had afforded the institution to increase its students’ intake.
The V-C also said that the university management had acquired additional laboratory equipment that would ensure an enabling learning condition for its students.
“We are looking forward in 2016 to re-emphasise and concentrate our efforts to sustain the feats the university had achieved in the previous years as the best,” he said.
Ambali, however, dismissed the agitation from some quarters of passing into law the “banking of JAMB results”.
This would afford a candidate the opportunity to use the same result obtained at one sitting of JAMB’s entrance examination to seek admission into the university for two years instead of writing it annually.
The V-C said that candidates re-writing examinations annually would perform better than they had done in previous ones.
Ambali also said that investors were already on ground to build additional a 5,000-bed-space hostel for the institution.
He said that this would assist the university to achieve its vision of providing hostel accommodations for thousands of its students currently living outside the campus
