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...

Do not marry a Robot

Everyone is Unique. We all have our different opinions, visions, ideas. And even when we get married, and two become one, this still remains so. Being in a relationship with another person and succeeding in it entails having a listening ear and heart. Hearing is not enough, we must truly listen. However just listening is still not enough. This post is about striking a balance, between listening to your spouse's opinion, having your own opinions heard and doing the right thing. You should - • Listen to your spouse. Men make this mistake more, thinking that a lady's place is to rear babies, and not to talk. How naive. I once heard a man say: "what can a lady know?" Even the ladies fail in this regard too. It is important you have a heart that listens. No one is an island or a custodian of knowledge. Many homes have been saved by the advice of the supposedly 'ignorant' spouse. Abigail saved her husband's life from David by her wisdom in 1 Samuel 25. ...

Eggshells (Episode 7)

Jessica got up from her daughter's bed as she heard a knock on her door. She wondered who would want to see her that early on a Sunday morning. She walked to the sitting room and took the keys from where it was hung on the wall and unlocked the door. The man who stood outside was a man she knew so well; a man who had been in her past, Tunde Balogun himself. He was dressed in a white Ankara fabric as his car keys were in his left hand. He was holding a nylon bag which looked like a gift pack he had got from a children's store in the other hand. Jessica gave him a straight face. "How can I help you? It's too early to come to my house." "I didn't come to see you. I came to see my daughter. Is she in? Can I go in?", he said and tried entering. Jessica blocked him. " Are you out of your mind? Who is your daughter? No one is in here so leave now." Tunde laughed. "You don't have to be so defensive, Jessica. You and I know our daugh...

"Okay. I will call Tunde and talk to him", Jessica said as she withdrew herself from Daniella's embrace, wiped her tears, and went back to the pot of stew on the gas cooker. She opened it, stirred it a little, tasted a bit of it, and thought it was okay. She added a little quantity of water to it and closed the lid. Then she reduced the level of heat of the gas cooker as she turned her back and rested on the kitchen cupboard. Daniella had been all the while beside the refrigerator folding her arms watching Jessica as a hen watches her chicks closely. "Are you sure you are ready for this?", Daniella asked her. "I don't know Dani. But I have to. I just have to, for the sake of my daughter." "Are you ready to tell your daughter the truth? That her father is alive and that he is the nice uncle who sends her gifts you throw away." "Oh common Dani. Why won't I throw them away? Who does that piece of garbage think he is to send my d...

I Conquered Masturbation, You Can too!

I started masturbating when I was exactly 14 years old. It was such an experience I never believed I could break off from. I grew up in a 'ghetto-like' place, which exposed me to different kinds of persons and experience. I had to run errands for my Grandmother and in the process, stumbled on neighbours watching movies with Adult content and sometimes saw some of them in the act, and because they felt that I was a small boy, the girls either didn't bother to cover themselves leaving their bodies bare as they attended to me, or continued in the act and never cared to pay attention to who it was that was around. Some of the ladies around who were not married would then touch my private part and tell me things they would have done with me if I was older. These were seeds that were being sown in my mind, and unknown to me that it would later lead me into a deep mess. The kind of friends I had both in school and home were those from the privileged class who had access to th...

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

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...

"That is what happens when you get too close to the opposite sex all in the name of friendship!", Daniella said as she munched some cookies in the kitchen with Jessica. Jessica was busy cooking as they both discussed. "I know but now the deed is done. He is getting married and I'm here with my child. And to think that Tunde has been disturbing me for a while now", Jessica said as she stirred the boiling pot of stew on the gas cooker. Daniella put down the glass of juice she was drinking in a hurry as if she was forced. "But what about the restraining order?" "Restraining order? I was told I could not get one against him since there was no proof that he has been violent." "That's serious. What exactly does he want?", Daniella asked as she folded her arms. " I don't know and I don't care. I mean, if his wife had bore him kids, would he even remember that I was once pregnant for him?" "You're righ...

3 Idiots (2009)

I thought of the second movie to write about and I picked this one. It is one amazing movie I love to watch repeatedly. After the first time I watched it on my mobile, it was deleted. I had to search for it and get it back, and since then, its been there. 3 Idiots is an Indian movie starring Aamir Khan (Ranchoddas Shamaldas Chanchad / Chhote / Phunsukh Wangdu), R. Madhavan (Farhan Qureshi), Sharman Joshi (Raju Rastogi), Kareena Kapoor (Pia Sahastrabuddhe), Boman Irani (Dr Viru Sahastrabuddhe; the Engineering college Director), Omi Vaidya (Chatur Ramalingam) and Rahul Kumar (Millimeter), among others. Photo Credit: Wikipedia Readers, if you haven't watched this movie, I'll recommend you do. Let's see what I learnt from the movie: • Life is actually a race, but not a race to compete with others; it's a race with oneself. Follow Excellence and Success will chase you! Rancho taught this lesson to his friends, Raju and Fahran. While Rancho came first at...

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...
