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

By -

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...

Nothing Good Comes Easy (Dr. Nosa's Success Story)

Image
This is an inspiring Success Story by Dr. Ewere Thompson Nosa, a Medical Doctor and graduate of the University of Port Harcourt (UNIPORT) Dr. Ewere Thompson Nosa ----- After rounding up my Secondary School education, and losing my Dad to the cold hands of death in 2009; I decided to fend for myself, and complement the support I was getting from my wonderful siblings. I had to do this because I don't like depending on anyone wholly, plus the fact that finance was limited and things were not all rossy. So I started off as a phone technician at Third junction in Benin. It wasn't easy for me as I was a bit too young and innocent to hussle in such kind of environment. I faced a lot of reproach, rejections and oppressions. I can remember a day I was beaten up at my work place, by some cultists for not fixing their phones to their specification. I also faced a lot of disappointments even among my loved ones. Well, that's all history. I endured all and passed...

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...

Do not excuse failure for any reason

By -

"Do not Excuse Failure, for any reason on any account" – Cobhams Asuguo. "I was born blind. No one else among my six siblings is blind. There was no cause for my blindness. No explanation. Doctors just said to my parent that I cannot see with my eyes. And since I’ve never experienced sight, and my mum won’t stop sending me on normal errands, I wasn't aware that I was without sight. So, as a young boy, I indulged in everything. I ran everywhere. I ran into walls and furniture. Ran into people. Jumped over gutters. Played hard and fought even harder to the extent that onlookers will shake their head and say in Pidgin English: 'Person wey we dey feel sorry for, e no dey feel sorry for himself.' But I never mind because I didn't understand what the pity was all about. But as I grew older and I gained more understanding of the intricacies of living as a sightless person in a world designed for sighted people, I was faced with the looming possibility of failu...

The LUST Question

By -
Image
The LUST Question series answers questions on the topic of Lust and tries to clarify some beliefs about Lust. This article is divided into four parts. Dr. Olulade Ebenezer, Your Intimacy Coach writes. ----- Part 1: I remember the first time my brother asked about wet dreams. What!? Many African parents are wired to protect their kids from the consequence of their own curiosity especially when it is sexual. It is hard to imagine that he was answered satisfactorily... not to mention that words like 'lust' and 'hell' must have been used in the same sentence during the conversation to convey a fearful severity on the matter. Have you ever asked your parents how they dealt with being horny in their single days? Your cheeks would have boiled from a slap one second before you wrongly conclude... "maybe mommy and daddy never felt 'sexual' back in the day. Maybe this "lust" affair is just you; your inordinate, sinful, unregenerate problem!" ...

Two Great Forgivers make a Great Relationship

By -
Image
If you have been dreaming of the perfect home, perfect relationship, (you know - all sunshine and rainbow; the lady kissed the frog and it turned into a handsome prince (Lol); they got married and went to live in his castle and they lived happily ever after) Think again, well. The living happily ever after is a great relationship goal and quite possible but to assume all will be all sunshine and flowers every minute of the day, wouldn't be that cool. You will offend and be offended, as long as you are two different individuals, there will be cause for offending and forgiving. Knowing this in advance, one of the tools you will use to sail through the minefield of offenses in relationships and marriage is forgiveness. Statements like: "I don't forgive easily", "It's just the way I am", "I forgive, I don't forget", "hurt me once, lose my trust for ever"; do not spell a bright future for such people when they enter into relationship...

Attitude is Everything by Jeff Keller

By -
Image
Jeff Keller's Attitude is Everything, is another great book to read. Before I read this book, I thought it's going to be all about attitude (a person's behaviour, character as I understood it). It is all about attitude anyway, but a broader scope of it, one that I hadn't imagined and understood till I read the book. There's so much to learn, know, gain, from reading books. People who don't read books, or who hate reading are kinda dead in knowledge and such death most times reflects in their attitudes, which is a product of the vacuum in their mindsets. As I've done with the other books I've written about, I'll share a few of the many that can be learnt from Keller's book. • One's attitude is the person's window to the world. It's just how the person sees and perceives the world. Everyone was born with a clean mental window, one devoid of dirt and stains. As some persons (a lot of persons actually) grow up, the window gets dirty. ...

Towards Mental Exploits by David .O. Oyedepo

By -
Image
I read this book about four years ago, and it was a big turning point for me. Much was learnt, I'll share few of them today. You should check it out. The lessons: Death begins when one stops learning, and ageing starts from one's mind, not one's body. One remains young as far as he or she keeps learning; One starts crashing once he or she stops pushing. One's ability to excel mentally is paralyzed once one stops trying and accepts that the results obtained is the best he or she can attain; One's life becomes a burden when one's life is void of progress. And when one's brain isn't working towards anything, it becomes a weight on the body. The brain is motivated when it sees something ahead, something to work towards for; One's success does not demand prayer and fasting, as much as engaging one's senses positively.

Never Ask Them For Money

By -
Image
When you meet Dangote today or someone who can take you to the next level, what would you ask from him? How would you play and how would you beg? The worst thing you can ask from wealthy people or those in position of authority is money, because they wouldn't give you enough if they even give you at all. That doesn't mean that they are wicked people who don't like to give or help, it is because they are wealthy not rich, so they don't have much to give you. If you are "cash happy", you are said to be rich. If you are "asset happy", you are said to be wealthy. And since being asset happy or acquiring a lot of assets is one of the ways the wealthy get their money to work for them, they are more often than not well invested in their businesses and assets to have enough cash with them to share around. So, they hardly have money to give. And it stresses them when such request is slightly suggested. This is why your high earning uncle who works wit...
