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...

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...

World Fastest Divorce Cases

• The man who divorced his wife within seconds of marrying her.. In 2012, a Dubai man divorced his wife within seconds of marrying her. Immediately after the ceremony, the man ducked out of the courtroom where the wedding occurred, and into another nearby courtroom and divorced her. His reason? Abdul Salam Darweesh, director of the family rehabilitation and guidance section at Dubai's court, explains: "The groom said that his bride's father made a condition that his daughter must keep her job after marriage and that he accepted this condition because he was too embarrassed to say no….he said that he had thought the problem was sorted out with his bride but that she insisted on keeping her job." • The bride who was attacked by her new husband.. In 2012, Tammy Driver, then 21, and Nicky Pearce, then 29, split after just four days of marriage; when the groom accused his bride of flirting with the best man, then beat her up and smashed all their presents. After the c...

Why do People think that Introverts are Rude or Arrogant?

By -
Image
Myth #1 – Introverts don’t like to talk. This is not true. Introverts just don’t talk unless they have something to say. They hate small talk. Get an introvert talking about something they are interested in, and they won’t shut up for days. Myth #2 – Introverts are shy. Shyness has nothing to do with being an Introvert. Introverts are not necessarily afraid of people. What they need is a reason to interact. They don’t interact for the sake of interacting. If you want to talk to an Introvert, just start talking. Don’t worry about being polite. Myth #3 – Introverts are rude. Introverts often don’t see a reason for beating around the bush with social pleasantries. They want everyone to just be real and honest. Unfortunately, this is not acceptable in most settings, so Introverts can feel a lot of pressure to fit in, which they find exhausting. Myth #4 – Introverts don’t like people. On the contrary, Introverts intensely value the few friends they have. They can count their close fr...

Your personal health and fitness is essential!

"I am as passionate about personal health and fitness as I am about financial health. I believe your health is your most prized possession. It amazes me how many people pay no attention to their health. ... You know what you’re supposed to eat. We all do. Fresh fruits and vegetables, complex carbs, salads, whole foods, lean meats, more fish and poultry than beef... You know it, I know it, we all know it. So why do so many of us still go out and chow down cheeseburgers and fries every day? I’ll tell you why: because it won’t kill us. Not today. If you ate a cheeseburger and immediately suffered a near-fatal heart attack, would you ever go near a cheeseburger again? I doubt it. It may take twenty or thirty years, but when you add up the compounded interest on all that high-fat, artery-clogging dietary mayhem, eventually your poor overworked heart just quits, stops dead. And so do you. It has been said that we dig our graves with our teeth. It’s easy to ea...

I am a member of "The Let's Talk About Series" community. I'll be sharing notes from Olajide Alex-Oni on Becoming an Entrepreneur, a lesson delivered this year, in the month of January. Let's Talk About Series is a personal and career development discussion platform that discuss diverse topics to help boost people's productivity and build personal confidence. They are passionate about self discovery, and believe the strife for personal development helps in adding value to one's life; creating opportunities and setting priorities for the areas that make them most effective. You can check out the community on Facebook. ---------- Olajide Alex-Oni : Entrepreneurship means different things to different people. Some see entrepreneurship as starting a small business. For me I will say Yes, and define “Entrepreneurship” as the capacity and willingness to develop, organize and manage a business along with any of its risks in order to make a sustainable profi...

Reasons Why it never worked out with Your Partner (by MG)

By -

This is a combination of two posts written by Musa Gift (MG). The first is: Reasons S he left You / turned You down . The second is: Reasons H e broke up with You / never proposed . ----- Reasons She left You / turned You down So she just woke up and told you that it is over, or she said she can't go out with you, or be your "friend". But you have prayed and feel led to her, and she is stalling, or she just changed everything months or years into the relationship. You asked her for a reason and she said it is not you, it is her, and well, or that it is no longer working, or that you people are just not compatible. My brother, I know, sometimes these things happen like that idiopathically, but there are reasons, real reasons ladies break up with guys or reject proposals that they may not tell you – different reasons ranging from fear to the fact that they don't want to hurt your ego. So I have compiled a list, from what I have heard, read and per...

(Part 1) "I think my husband is cheating on me" Eukera informs her baby Sister. "How do you know, or did he confess this himself?" Esther asks as she returns to the sitting room with a tray containing fruits.. She always entertains her Sister this way. "I know it, I'm not a baby you know.

She grabs another apple, hurriedly g...

Later again, his mum had to readmit him at the workhouse. At age 9, on one of the number of times the mum was committed to mental asylum, Charlie and his brother went to stay with the dad, whom t...

I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven (Matthew 16:19) ...but whoever would be great among you must be your servant, and whoever would be first among you must be slave of all (Mark 10:43-44) Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours (Mark 11:24) Behold, I have given you authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy; and nothing shall hurt you (Luke 10:19) But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, "Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste, and a divided household falls, And if Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? (Luke 11:17-18) *WORDS from Revised Standard Version (RSV)
