EJEH: Like I always say, most importantly, all average ksuites must be sensitized on the need for all hands to be on deck for us to be collectively "Repositioned", "Revamp", and most importantly give the chance for the "REDEFINITION" of the Union. And we will put it up upon ourselves on the need to get and share good ideas across the board thereby giving an average Ksuites that sense of belonging and responsibility. The central theme or core is that ksu and its SUG must be better.

**Reporter: Sir, in one sentence what is the core of your belief/Ideology?**

Students, Start Now To Prepare For Life After School (A Must Read For All Students)

Let’s make something clear, “students think”. In fact, students think a lot about money, drinks, parties, opposite s*x 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”.

Types Of Students You Would See In School During Holiday



Students staying in school when the school is officially on a break is not something new or unusual.

Most students i guess, prefer to stay in school whereas some don’t joke with their holidays o, even if it is for 30 minutes, they would go home.

SO today, i present to you: Types of Students you would See in School During Holiday;

The Book Worm: Ogbeni o! This ones takes everything too serious like say tomorrow no day.

They prefer staying in the hostel and jacking everything jackable before others resume

One thing with this set of fellow is that they never come out all through those periods till school resumes. Am Afraid of this kind of people o.

The Jonsers: This set use the holiday period to jonse up and down the school.

They make research and do things they never did while school was on. One thing with them is they understand that when school resumes, no jonsing and hence use the few days/week to flex around

The Cooker: Choi. you see them washing pot as if they are leaving with their parents while in the hostel.

Seems this set cook morning, afternoon,night and mid night. The next morning, you see them with different sizes of pot and you begin to ask yourself if you are a student at all.

The Prayer Warriors: Choi. Staying with them is hell you must be forced to pray o or Else…

The Computer Addicts: Hala! This ones would be on their computer as if the world is ending tomorrow.Most times, i imagine all they do there.This consist of the bloggers, Web developers,Graphic Designers,Gamers etc.

The Movie Freak: Smart People. They don’t mind watching 15 movies daily till school resumes.

Jackometers: Actually, this is different from the book worm. The Former stays in his room without letting you know whats up while this set of people keep carrying big big books up and down looking for who to intimidate and yes, they are very good in intimidating students because once you see them you would be like “Jeez, I have not started Jacking anything o”.

The Crashers: This set can crash for life.Their routine is very simple: Wake, Eat,Crash and the loop continues I fear this set.

FYB NEWS: 5 THINGS TO WORK ON BEFORE GRADUATION



THINGS TO WORK ON BEFORE GRADUATION

1. SPOKEN ENGLISH
It is so sad that majority of
Nigerian students in tertiary
institutions don't bother about
polishing their spoken and written
english.
Some graduates speak
English worse than a toddler, making
One wonder what they spent 16yrs
doing in school.
You hear them spew gabbage like "he come and slap me and I come and beat him".  If you speak such english to an interviewer, even with first class clearly written on your CV, he will probably think
you runzed your way through school.
The use of words like yeah, goddamn,
omo, sh*t, f**k etc should be stopped cos they don't portray you as a decent person.

2. Mode Of Dressing
Looking fly on campus was one of the
things I enjoyed during my undergraduate days. It was fun cos you had so much of the opposite sex around to admire you. The moment I graduated, my orientation changed. Not that a graduate should stop
wearing denims and sneakers, but sagging and putting on studs with crazy hairstyle should come to a stop if such a person wants to fit into the corporate world.
In the corporate world, you get to mingle with matured or married men with enough
decency.
Sagging in their midst will make you look kiddo. Just cos your favourite musician davido sags his trousers doesn't mean you should do the same.
He gets paid to do that while you could get fired for doing the same.

3. SPENDTHRIFT ATTITUDE
The first time I heard someone say
his salary is 70k, I hissed and mocked him in my mind cos that was the same amount we students spent on phones just to oppress each other.
Now I've seen people earning less
than 45k even with years of experience. What kind of person do you think you'll turn out to be when all you want is the latest expensive gadgets? In the real world, no one cares about the kind of phone you use.
Even on naija campus these days, girls have stopped falling for a guy because of the phone he uses, they now trip for flashy cars. So, before you spend that huge amount on a phone, ask yourself this
question: "is it going to improve my
standard of living?". I didn't know I could turn my smart phone to a mini laptop with WPS, Excel etc until I got employed.
My phone was all about bbm, whatsapp and facebook. I now saw the full potential of the phone.
You need to cut down on your spendings. Also, get the idea of clubbing off your mind or it might ruin your pockets. The money saved from disciplining yourself can be used to start something great. Use
your head.

4. LAZINESS
You remember how you use to complain about the large notebooks you have to read for exams? If you lack a good reading culture, it is certain you will be bereft of ideas to contribute to a company's growth.
You are always seen reading gossip blogs where you are updated with the lifestyle of celebrities but lack the idea of what the top 20 questions interviewers ask. Scaling
through campus days as a lazy person doesn't mean such is likely to continue in the real world.
Carrying on with laziness is what leads to
prostitution, where a lady feels she can use her body to fetch her daily bread instead of her brain, or where a guy still expects his uncle to be the one to help him achieve his targets even after getting him a jobthrough nepotism.
You get to wonder why they spent 16yrs developing their brain in school.

5. PRIDE
I remember when I was in my final year at school, I was always happy about what the future held for me. I knew I was going to get a job that pays 350k immediately I graduated.
Reality slapped me in the face when my first offer was a job paying 30k. I had no choice but to take the offer cos I was already tired of adding more months to the six months I had spent at home just sleeping. Luckily for me, that job paved the way for abetter one cos it gave me the
needed experience recruiters want tosee on a CV. I've now realise that 350k is only feasible for those in the oil sector and those with huge years of experience, not a fresh graduate who doesn't know his left
from his right. As you are about graduating, never see any job as demeaning. Take it up while you continue searching for a better one.MnThis gives you experience. A bird in hand is better than a million in the bush. Remember, you are a nobody and no one gives a damn about you out there. So, drop your pride and use your head and hands or end up
spending years still eating your mum's food with insults.

If it make sense to you share and invite student's yo collect amen

SHOCKING TRUTH:FIRST CLASS STUDENTS NEVER BECOME FIRST CLASS IN LIFE



Hardly do first class graduates become first class personality While in University, we often spend too much energy in acquiring good grades that we forget to acquire good class personality.

After concentrating all energy in acquiring the first class grades, we transform into a society where first class grades don’t matter much as having a first class personality.

In school, its easy to read,memorize and pass exams, but in real life, there is no sure book of life to progress, no memorizing, no exams, just you and your inbuilt capability which require no contest with anybody.

Those who eventually become big in life are mostly people who hardly make good grades inschool.

Prof. Abletor Sedofia from University of Ghana has this to say to us:“Academic excellence is overrated! Did I just say that? Oh, yes, I said it. Being top of your class does not necessarily guarantee that you will be at the top of life.

You could graduate as the best student in finance but it doesn’t mean you will make more money than everybody else. The best graduating Law student does not necessarily become the best lawyer.

The fact is life requires more than the ability to understand a concept, memorise it and reproduce it in an exam.

School rewards people for their memory. Life rewards people for their imagination and innovations. School rewards caution, life rewards daring. School hails those who live by the rules. Life exalts those who break the rules and set new ones.

So do I mean people shouldn’t study hard in school? Oh, no, you should. But don’t sacrifice every other thing on the altar of First Class. Don’t limit yourself to the classroom. Do something practical. Take a leadership position.

Start a business and fail. That’s a better Entrepreneurship 101.Join or start an association. Contest an election and lose. It will teach something Political Science 101 will not teach you.

Attend a seminar. ...Read books outside the scope of your course. Go on missions and win a soul for eternal rewards. Do something you believe in! Think less of becoming an excellent student but think more of becoming an excellent person. Make the world your classroom!Have a great life!
