2ND best thing to do in any Nigerian University.

2ND best thing to do in Nigerian University


One of the hardest things students encounter while applying for a university admission or even when they are in it is solving the puzzle of the optimal way or ways to go around the 4/5/6 years to get the very best out of it.






Ready made solution templates come in several formats,  some of the common ones are
1. Pray to God he will direct your every path after all 
the physical is controlled by the spiritual.
2. Lectures-Read-Eat-Read-Read and then repeat the cycle,  if you noticed this method doesn't even have sleep plan because we all know that 
the heights that great men attain is not by sudden flight but while their contemporaries slept they but the the midnight candle.
3. Pay the bills : It's either you know the tuition source is going to run short soon or you are actually the source, either way finding ways to get money within or outside school is the priority, I don't judge your preferred method unless your earning removes from mine without my consent. 
You don't have time for the lectures so it's either you reimburse a percentage of the earning for the legit sorting or just accept the Es as they come and blame the Fs on missing script.

4. Mahadum; I don't know why this is my favorite, probably because it flows better with my language. It is a university,  you came here for universal knowledge and I don't mean how cars work, better ways to pass information along, human anatomy, law or how to remove mole from a tooth.
Am talking about relishing and cataloging girls asses/guys' tight packs depending on which ever grinds your gear. I am talking about being in first name bases with the bar tenders and party planners in school. But remember that you can't have real fun unless you are high from booze or decide to smoke your vegetable rather than add it to the soup.

Who wouldn't want to walk in to a cheer and standing ovation at a party?


'Sorting' solves all students problems after all every lecturer is 'sortable' , it simply depends on your ability to meet his price.

Now let's see why I still don't consider these the best or more importantly the 2nd best things one can do in school;

  • Firstly your parents told you not to join bad gangs though it isn't your fault, simply because no body took out time to explain to you the various scenarios that can be tagged as bad gangs.
It isn't there fault though since you all watch rented Nigeria films where Jim Iyke is killed because he is a cultist who smokes weeds and shisha on the same day that he downed a carton of beer. Maybe just maybe it's the combination of all of them that made it bad, it wouldn't hurt at all to take one of those and share with some like minded friends?
  • Secondly, from what we've learnt in the time past none of these are the direct way to success from the Nigeria schools.
Now some may argue that our schools are trash at least not as good as before (old people's version), but let's look at the other countries they are running to, I wouldn't even talk about Ghana because the amount of drug addicts and fatherless babies they produce should keep them miles away from  this article.
Look at the wonderful America with the awesome American dream, I would talk about the American dream in another article  but it's failed too.
Our education is one of the best if not actually the best,if you doubt it answer me how do we produce such great minds.


Now to the point
So we may all agree that keeping the above mentioned below in the list that the second best thing you can do in 9ja uni is to build your dreams , join a theater,  learn to play the guitar build your blogging skills, learn to skate, train your voice and by all means model for every agency you can find. You've got it girl you need to flaunt it but while you do this in the name of all things holy, lead people to Christ, become the evangelism coordinator in your fellowship because the greatest mistake is struggling to success without working in the Lords vineyard even if it's just weeding, right?
 
Are you course rep yet?
No!! that isn't a problem. I have a solution just for you. Contest for any position, as far as there would be campaigning and an election, sign up. Lodge area ambassador, lodge president,  village union king or if you prefer the likes of Saraki try out the students representative council but remember it helps your cause if you are already a rotract member,  a student lawyer and an active member of a party because we don't want the stake holders saying they can't deliver you.


You have been working on building to your self,  free up its life you are a youth and life is short so go out and get a drink, attend some parties increase the number of side chicks you have now, you wouldn't want to be the silent one when 30 years later you friends are telling stories of the points they gathered in the good old days. 


But in all these do not forget to read because this is why you are here, go to night class to cover up , there is no shame in sleeping once or twice there or even every single time, what matters is that it's obvious that you are making affords. 

The Nigerian university is a community and making sure you partake in all this is getting close to the best thing in school. Don't deny yourself any of them.
You have 24 hrs who said that isn't enough time?
Don't just participate, be at the helm of affairs in all these SUG Official, party organizer,  top blogger,  tutorial genius, play boy/Runs girl, fellowship president , Music and dance artist.
Like Nike always says Just do it!!!




That's the second best thing you can do in school but the very best thing you can do in a Nigeria University is not to attend at all!!!! RUN if you aren't there yet.
If you are there already find the fastest way to get out.
Or just don't go back for the next semester no lecturer would miss you in a sardine packed lecture hall with 500 2nd best students.

DEAR FUTURE HUSBAND

Dear future husband, I've been awake trying to imagine what it'd be like to live with one person for the rest of my life. I don't know if I've met you already, I just wonder if you also think about living with me. I watched The Wedding Party for the third time today and it gives me the same feeling each time. I definitely want to have a dream wedding, which girl doesn't? So I beg you please be responsible. I really hope you're doing something tangible with your life cause am trying my best here. The only thing that scared me in that movie was Broda Banky still asking how he could stick to one person for the rest of his life on the morning of his wedding. Pls I'm begging you in the name of God, figure that out before you even engage me. I cannot come and be crying and be running up and down on heels for that matter. But then am also learning it's more than just having a dream wedding but having a happily ever after marriage. I believe it exists but we b

Musings of a Young Dreamer Girl: PERHAPS

Just like this picture, we'd want our lives to be prim and proper. But fortunately it doesn't always turn out that way. Why fortunately? Well, perhaps, there's a possibility that we would sink into a routine, running around in circles, never going back but yet never moving forward. Perhaps, there would be no aspirations, no dreams, no hope, and what is a man without hope? Dead. Perhaps, we would then rest on our oars and pride in the fact that we made it happen all by ourselves. This is seemingly possible as man has always tried to play god, most times to his detriment. Maybe the problems, the challenges, the bills, come so that in the process of dealing with them we bump into our purpose, our reason for being created, our existence. Perhaps they come that we may realize the endless possibilities of faith, increasing by each victory. Perhaps, the untidiness of a partner or the unruliness of a family member would teach us to love even when we do not feel like it. Perh

Love and Landlord

        I just wanted to get ingredients 4 my breakfast 4rm Mama Dorcas,the woman who sold provisions down d street. As I came out of my gate, everywhere was calm and quiet as expected, most children were probably in school by that time of d morning. As I walked into d store, I greeted Mama Dorcas just as I noticed a dark complexioned pot bellied man standing at a corner in the shop. This wasn't a strange sight at all, though not quite pleasant for that time in the morning as don't actually know what will end up spoiling your day. When he smiled at me he exposed his set of 'it-was-once-white-now-brown-teeth' .Immediately I lost appetite for breakfast that morning. Then he told me he'd be the one to attend to me because he liked fair people...who cares?       I just wanted to get what I came for as soon as possible. So after getting everything I wanted, I proceeded to leave and he called me... "what on earth did he want?" that was the only ques
