Success Story: How I went from a CGPA of 2.29 to 4.00 within a Semester

By -
Image
This is a Success Story shared by Olusola O'sola Fapohunda, a graduate of the Federal University of Technology, Akure. ----- In early 2010, I went with about four other guys in my department - to visit our level registration officer. We wanted to check our result. Each one of us, was with a paper and a pen. The lecturer in charge asked for our matriculation numbers and one after the other, he was reeling off grades, GPA and CGPA. He eventually got to me and I heard a digit that sounded like I've been shot. God! Me! 2.29. I've earned myself Grade E in some three unit courses and my best course was APH301, which I had a B with a score of 69. About six months later, I went to check my 300 level second semester result and I now had a CGPA of 4.00. That was the happiest day of my University education. I was rolling on the floor of the room. The previous semester has been hell, yet the one that followed it yielded this awesome result! What did I do? What did I change? What s...

Why Salt kills earthworms?

By -
Image
A lot of us have become used to using salt to kill earthworms when we encounter any in our houses. I've thought about this for a while now, but I recently decided to check it up and I'll share what I learnt about the science. Before that, I'll share some points about earthworms: - They are in the lumbricus genus, there are various species of earthworms, but the common earthworm's scientific name is lumbricus terrestris - Their digestive system runs through the length of their skin - Earthworms respire through their skin - They are hermaphrodites (each one carries both male and female sex organs) - They lack either an internal skeleton or exoskeleton , but maintain their structure with fluid-filled coelom chambers that function as a hydrostatic skeleton. Okay, let's talk about salt and earthworms: Earthworms respire and secrete mucus through their skins. Salt (sodium chloride) has the ability of absorbing moisture (desiccant). When a large quantity of salt i...

Results OR Regrets?

By -
Image
Five Years from now, you will have either of two things; – Results or – Regrets Results will happen because You followed your Passion and dreams, and refused to listen to or accept any excuse why you couldn't and shouldn't, (results like certificates, degrees, a happy home, your own company, books you have written, your own fashion house, lives you have touched, that dream house, dream car, dream political office, or career). Regrets will happen because you denied yourself, you refused to pursue your dreams and follow your passion, you listened and accepted the excuses that people gave you about why you couldn't chase and achieve your dreams and why you shouldn't. Which would you want to have in five years time? You know what to do. #LIVEWELL By: Musa Gift (MG)

Treat Him like a King

By -
Image
I love to talk about men. And the reason is very simple: • All men are unique. • They are our pride. • They are the beauty that we have as women. Most times, I tell my friends that when you treat your man like a King, he will worship you like a Queen. Never disrespect your man, he is the reason why people are calling you Madame. Stop looking down on him because you think he is already your husband, and so nothing can happen. Believe me, there are a lots of ladies out there who are willing to pay any amount just to have that same men you are insulting everyday. If you learn how to take good care of your husband he will always make you the envy of all. Don't be ashamed to try new things. A lady is a blessing to her husband, not trouble, pain and heartbreak. Make your husband your best friend. Your husband should be able to say, "Honey, I'm favoured because I have You as my wife". Your calls and presence should never remind him of how much a mistake he may have ...

Reframe the meaning of your past experiences to be able to excel in the present

By -
Image
You can either carry the pains of your past as excess baggage or convert it into a fuel of love to propel you into your greatness. The choice is yours, because the past is gone and cannot be undone. However, the meanings we ascribe to the tragedies of our past is hardwired into our subconscious and dictates most of our thought processes and decision-making in the present. The way we interpret those events can be rewired to give positive meanings to our pain. We must see those ugly experiences as part of a grand design that is intended to bring out the beauty in us. We must see our past as a strengthening process, a necessary refinement procedure that was aimed at leading us to our authentic self. Some of us have been through events that were not any fault of ours but we cannot continue to wallow in self-pity because life just keeps moving forward. Most times we are not aware that our past is haunting us but if we sit down to reflect in honest meditation, the truth will reveal itself. L...

Relationship Series (Part 1)

By -
Image
Our present society is a mixture of different persons of different family values. That's one of the major reasons why people have different understanding of an issue or situation. One from a family with high personal and moral values may not agree with the other who has his or her own values, and who feels they are justified and right. You see situations where people can't relate because of their parallel opinions and beliefs which are antagonist to each other. You see situations where people "mind their business" because they feel that the actions and activities of other persons, has no significant effect on them. One thing I've learnt about life is that everyone, has an effect, positive or negative, on the entire system. It's like a chain reaction. And the only way to ensure there's a general positive effect is by everyone who knows what's right, do what's right and help promote such positive vibes in the little way they can. I can be of help to...

Some WORD Quotes

By -
Image
I will share some quotes, credited to a friend of mine – Abraham Owunna. The Quotes: • Rest is a Divine Weapon given to you by God. The Enemy hates it because he wants you stressed and occupied always. • Beloved, The First Great Business of our lives is to be a Missionary at Home (Your neighborhood)... • We (You and I) might not be able to see everyone HE used us to touch their lives on earth... Some of them are on Social Media, Articles we have written, Music ministrations, Sermons, Our Behavior, etcetera.. But let us make every effort under Grace to see HIM (Jesus) who sent us.. • Some of us might have received the right Gospel but if our approach/response towards the Gospel we have received is Passive, we'll never be able to affect our Generation. • Not everyone will Understand your Journey, that's Okay. You're here to progress for a Divine Assignment, not to make everyone understand. By: Abraham Owunna

Leadership and Politics Quotes, this Week

By -
Image
A Leader is best when people barely knows he exists. When his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will say: we did it ourselves (Lao Tzu) The first responsibility of a Leader is to define reality. The last is to say Thank You. In between, the Leader is a Servant (Max DePree) Leadership is lifting a person's vision to high sights, the raising of a person's performance to a higher standard, the building of a personality beyond its normal limitations (Peter Drucker) You don't lead by pointing and telling people some place to go. You lead by going to that place and making a case (Ken Kesey) All of the great leaders have had one characteristic in common: it was the willingness to confront unequivocally the major anxiety of their people in their time. This, and not much else, is the essence of leadership (John Kenneth Galbraith) It is better to lead from behind and to put others in front, especially when You celebrate victory when nice things occur. You take the front line...

This Door

This morning (on the day this was originally written), I and mum had a good mom-to-son discussion. I was listening to Tim Godfrey's 'Gbemisoke', with my earpiece tightly clung to my ears. The instrumental portion of the song forced me to dance along the rhythmic steps with a great fervour. Actually, the earpiece was already half-dead, and wouldn't be accepted by a layman even if gifted. I wasn't ready to buy a new one. I danced so passionately that my mum couldn't help but laugh. And suddenly, the song abruptly stopped. I wondered why it stopped. Later, I found out that the earpiece died itself. It was time to have it thrown out. My mum laughed at me. Then she said something that triggered a discussion. "Olorun moomo je ki earpiece yii baje, ki o le ramin" (God has deliberately allowed this earpiece to spoil, so you'd buy a new one." Then she said further, "When God closes a door, He opens another. Go and buy a new earpiece." Th...
