As a nigerian student, it would not be an understatement to say you are surrounded with circumstances that do nothing but beckon on failure. You are always discouraged by what you see and hear: From the want in the family, to the poor academic start in your primary school days;from endless writing and rewriting of waec and her cohorts to writing and overwriting of jamb for years before finally getting admitted; from the financial constraints in our tertiary educational system laced and polished with bribery and corruption,laziness and indifference of lecturers to poor learning facilities in our schools and lots more.
