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. All these things break our heart so much that your feet fail you as you think about all these things, your thoughts fail you as you ponder on all these things, can I ever make it in life? You might have asked yourself. I  bring you good tidings, yes you can make it . These setbacks and aweful circumstances and challenges are the actual ingredients of your succ...

 As you prepare for your putme, their are five things you should/must do:  1. Forget about how high or low your jamb score was/is.  2.

Only the Man that has stayed at home for four consecutive years will understand what am intending to say. Most students in tertiary institutes across the country are actually studing course they did not apply for,they were given the courses they are currently studing by the school probably because their putme score wasn't enough or up to that of the course they had applied for so they were offered a course their screening score matched with. Are you in this category? What was your Putme Score ? Were you offered a course you didn't apply for? What are your plans,are you planning to go with the course,or do you want to reject it and take the jamb exam again?
