When you read this Title the next thing that comes
to your mind is JAMB. Right? Yes of course!
There are so many reasons why students do not gain
admission easily into the Nigerian Universities. Some of which are on the parts
of:
· Students
· The
government
· Teachers
· Parents
· The
educational institution
· The
Matriculation Board (JAMB)
· And
most importantly the existent Competition
Let’s take a look at the role of the following
people and body on how they affect a student’s admission process into the
University.
STUDENTS
Take the Decision to get admitted into the
University, Be determined and be disciplined about it.
You
are responsible for what happens to you. You cannot blame anyone for your
failure neither can you blame anyone for your success.
What’s
my point Here? As a student, you must be serious (take note of the word “must”).
You should face your studies fair and square; nothing in this entire world
should distract you from your studies.
A student should know where He/she is heading to in Life.
A student should be focused, determined, enthusiastic and charismatic. A
student with the following characteristics has a targeted future and is headed
toward the right path.
Now
let’s take the scenario of a non-chalant student, who gets easily distracted
with his environment, the new trends and hardly faces his studies.
Such a student has no focus, no hunger for success
in his academics and will obviously not do well in his academics.
The 21st
Century Nigerian Student/Teenager is exposed to a lot of things;
Technology, Internet, Relationship and
Sex.
This non-disciplined student will spend more time on
the internet than on his studies.
Come to
think of it, about 95% of Nigerian Students/Teenagers are exposed. Be it Teens
from the Island or the Mainland, they are all exposed.
Technology
Technology is a craft of Handwork by Man to improve human life and
promote well being.
About 75% of Students/Teenagers in Nigeria misuse
Technology and the internet. They surely don’t promote learning with Technology
and Internet because they spend more time networking on Social Media and doing
lots of irrelevant things that do not benefit them.
They use their smart devices to do things they can’t
even disclose to their parents like watching porn videos.
The remaining 25% use Technology to promote their
learning.
A student who uses Technology to maximum and optimum
use will promote learning on his path by Researching different Topics (already
taught or not), Watching educational Videos, Listening to Educational Audio
Lectures.
Students are strongly advised to use technology to
their advantage in terms of Learning.
The
Internet
Everyone is familiar with the internet. It is
because you’re on the internet makes you able to read this, 100% true. As a
student, you cannot be taught how to use the internet, “except you are a dummy”.
Use the internet wisely, Make research, and gather
information that is beneficial to your admission course. Most importantly feed
your brain with the right knowledge.
Download the right past questions, for the
University you’re gunning for, make sacrifices, when you are asked to buy what
is beneficial to you; do so. It’s important to you.
Relationship
and
Sex
Now let’s dwell on student’s relationship with the
Opposite sex.
Every teenager wants to be involved in one
relationship or two. Being in a relationship as a teenager and as a student is
not in any way advisable but if you dim it fit and you have the maturity to
handle a relationship, you can go ahead.
If you are one that is emotionally unstable, you
should pull out of that relationship now, if you want a fulfilling future.
