He Lost An Opportunity To Work In NNPC; Who Says A Degree is Useless?-naijastudentsblog

In my previous post, I made some analysis on the importance of ideas over certificates,(click here to read post). It will be more informative for you to know that my assertion wasn't "degree is a waste of time"

 I never said a college degree was a waste of time when i said that ""degrees don't give wealth ideas do"  instead I was simply portraying  the importance of ideas with a college degree.

Now who said that a degree was useless? I tell You a story, Read This Story

A boy lost a life time opportunity of working in the Nigerian National Petroleum Cooperation (NNPC) simply because he couldn't provide a single certificate. The boy's uncle works in the cooperation and as a means of helping the jobless boy secure meaningful employment, he asked him to bring 'any'  university certificate so he could give him a job,the boy had none, he went further (or should I say lower) to ask for an SSCE certificate, the boy had none, ok bring your primary six certificate, could you believe that the boy couldn't even provide a useful primary six certificate? That was how he lost the life time opportunity of working in such huge oil firm.
(you can call this a fiction if you want, but this is a first hand story from my university friend)

The importance of a university certificate in our modern-day nigeria is enormous. Your certificate will pave the way for your idea to go far, after all Dangote had a degree in business studies. Mark Zukerberg and Bill Gate were computer scientist in their college days.

The economic circumstance in nigeria can only be survived by some one with a working an converting idea yet a college degree puts you forward in the competition. And as I said in the previous update (click here to read), degrees are the packaging and the transporter of your ideas, in addition to that your awesome idea, a college degree is indispensable , you will need it someday even if you are an entrepreneur you will need it in nigeria or maybe elsewhere.

So are you a University,Polytechniv Or Education student already?
I employ you to take your studies very serious, it might be your aid, saviour or last resort when the going gets rough and tough.
Are you a jambite seeking  for admission?
Study very hard for your matriculation and Putme exams, do all you can to secure an admission it will pay back with a huge sum in the future.

 Are you a secondary school student or  an O'level student and you're contemplating between obtaining a degree and learning a trade?
I tell you, as much as learning one trade or the other is of utmost importance, a university, polytechnic or education degree is of 'almost' greater importance.
Decide to study and obtain a degree, it is NEVER  a waste of time.

What all jambites should know-naijastudent'sblog

All and on students who had 200 and above in their jamb keep asking me one question "what are my chances". I decided to write this post to give you an Idea of what your chances are this year. First of all,it is an established fact as I have stated earlier in one of my previous articles that this years jamb had a lot of successes 200 and above is what I hear anytime I inquire on the performance of a student ( click here to read the post ) as a result the post ume exam in all universities will be keenly contested. Schools will witness crowd and multitude off students coming for the screening test. Therefore one thing is needful for all students to have in mind  'the competition will be stiff''. Students should forget about how high or how low their jamb score is,students should stop measuring their chances by their jamb score. If you applied for a university and you got 200 and above,what it means is that you have been invited for the selection test...

Why Am I Scared Of Graduating?

      photo credits: It was my first time in school and everyone seemed to be happy; they were all smiling, and chatty. Walking down the concrete pavement with friends, I couldn't just wait to be among them, or at least like one of them. I am a fanatic and lover of clean and well planned drainage system, and the faculty had just that, with lecture theatres having shiny walls, at least from the outside. This is my story on my first visit to my to-be faculty just after the UTME. What else but external attractions could entice a wannabe student coming to his dream school for the first time? The story however didn't take so long to change; if you know engineering very well then you will understand my point. I almost packed my bags and went home in my second year of study; I had never been subjected to such stress in my entire life, I was literally gasping for breath, from a tall pile of school work, and countless lengthy classes. I felt betrayed by the h...

What and How to study for 2015 post utme

To our Jambites There has been alot of questions, some students are asking about the cut-off mark of various institutions they applied for, others are inquiring on how competitive their choice department is and their chances of getting admitted. I give an answer to your questions:  The admission percentage for last year's postume was very high, this was due to the fact that the number of students who sat for the putme exam was very small due to mass failure in jamb . But this year's jamb was different. A huge percentage of candidates passed the cut-off for the institution they applied for.Leaving you with one fact that the putme will be highly contested. And as a result of this, all departments in the universities will be competitive. Those departments that students despise and call minor will now be admired, all courses this time will be highly competitive.  So what are your chances?  All candidates have equal chances,the jamb is more or less a ticket to t...
