 10 Secrets to Making Straight A’s in Higher Institution


See the 10 Secrets to Making Straight A’s in any Higher Institution.


Behind any successful student, is a laid down simple but strict rules  for some students, for some students ,these rules are called SECRETS,have gone through books,interview, videos and excerpts and concluded on these rules as the best and sure way to make straight A's in higher institutions like University Polytechnic, College of Education etc

Before I list out the ten secrets,there are two important things I would like to share with you Firstly be aware that making parallel A's in higher institutions is POSSIBLE, some students have done it,Why not you?Example of such are,UNILAG 016 best graduating student with 5.0 CGPA,UNILAG '017 two best graduating students, Taiwo Bankole and Oyindamola Omotuyi with 5.0 CGPA,UI '017 best graduating student Nkemelu who graduated with 7.0 CGPA,to mention but few 5.0 CGPA and 7.0CGPA means these students,never got a grade below'A' in their courses. They had Parallel A's from their first year to final year.

And secondly, always bear in mind that it is also takes grace,love and favour of God to Excel in everything you do in life'Baba God is the 'Boss of ap Boss's, do not ever forget to commit your dreams into His Hands' HE NEVER FAILS.

Before we continue, take a deep breath,straight your legs because am about to help you smile on that graduating day.

Note: This article is lengthy, hence,important we break the page in five.


Let's start listing the Secret'Viz

1:CHANGE YOUR MINDSET

This ranks my list because students usually get it all wrong when they just want to make first class.

It is pertinent to mention that you ought not to read just for A or first class in examination. Let us face the truth, you're in university to acquire Knowledge, and be learned'.

When you bear this mind ,you try to understand the concept of each course and not just CRAM your textbooks. Read as if you defend your course in real world, when you need to acquire  knowledge,you will be forced to see parallel A's in all your courses it's not magic,it's reality


2: PRIOR STUDY

Prior means"Before/earlier.Merging prior with study, it means study before each lecture,it mustn't be a day before the lecture. Just make sure you literally prepare for each class lecture. This will increase understanding of the topic and create a medium to understand problematic questions you encountered while reading. Do not joke with this'i did and guess what,'In the first semester of my first year in the University of  Nigeria, I consciously ignored this point,I was like ,I will understand the course in lecture hall,'LET ME ENJOY MY SLEEP JARE'. Like you expected, I had poor grades. The next semester, I changed my philosophy, I studied before any lecture, and the magic worked' I made excellent grades.


3: ALWAYS ATTEND LECTURES

As simple as this sounds,yet some students seems to underestimate the power of this point. In University of Nigeria, and some other schools, attendance to lectures has it's own mark.Some schools will use the attendance list to admit students to the examination hall. This means if your name is not in the overall attendance list, you will not write the examination.

Now besides attending classes for the aforementioned reasons,in classes you will be opportune to ask problematic questions, answer problematic questions and most of all makes you appear responsible to your lecturers.

Since you have decided to always attend lectures then I must advice you to stay in the first three sit.

I hope I am still communicating ??? If YES,let me see your teeth...Thank you let's continue...


4: SELF ASSURANCE

Self assurance and self confidence works together believe you can break past record. Believe you can be among the best students.

To be sincere with you University course are not 

Just that easy' Some lecturers can be so threatening,some might even tell you guys  in class that "You just can't make 'A' in this course"

The scarring part is when few students still believe they can still make 'A' in that course, after a test or quiz,they see 3/30 as their score. If you happened to be in this category of students, you need to reassure yourself you can do it' You need to believe in yourself'You have to be confident that you can still make that 70% Oyindamola Omotuyi a 5.0 CGPA graduate of UNILAG is a good example? 

Don't get discourage when you fail test/quiz


5:DO NOT CHEAT NATURE

Don't cheat nature??How do I mean?? This probably should be your question, it's all right, I will answer it right away'  A little story, I had a friend in high school, during our Early years,he  always read 10hours(7.00pm-5.00am) per day,after reading, he takes just two hours sleep and most times do not eat till 12.30pm. When I approached him,he said he is doing FASTING/PRAYING. I tried to convince him to help himself, I used to be like 'My guy eat very well since you're reading very well'.His response will be "Bros,don't worry about me,My God can do all things, he is God of impossibility" You know what I did? I never talked to him about it again. Towards the end of the semester, he got I'll and was admitted into our general hospital. He barely wrote exams he has been preparing for .Results came out and like I expected,he had poor results'its not that his philosophy about God is not true,but the point is HE WAS CHEATING NATURE. Some will say give to ceaser what belongs to Ceased and to God what belongs to him.

If you've some church activities, cut down your reading hours, have some nice sleep, sleep at least 5-6hours a day! Eat nice foods and exercise.

Least I forget to complete my story, he next session, I met that my friend and after sympathizing with him,I told him not to cheat Nature.It worked perfectly for him.


6:STUDY IN A SUITABLE POSITION

Some students prefer reading in a cool environment while some others love reading with music playing at the background whichever, case you find yourself, take advantage of good study location do not go to the library because your friends always read in the library.


7:HAVE SMART FRIENDS


I have come across students who always say "I people for not influence me,rather I influence  them,don't be deceived because 'the good are easily influenced'You just have to get  a friend that has same vision with you when you guys share the same vision, you achieved same vision, make friends that are smart brilliant and intelligent.

8 HOW MANY HOURS TO READ


Many will advice you read 10 or six hours but this solely depends on personality.One might read 2hours and understand the concept, while others reads more time.the necessary point should be,make sure you read prior to lectures,Revise the notes you made in lectures, Do not procrastinate .


9:DO THE RIGHT THING AT THE RIGHT TIME!


Oh yes'don't play with this  guy!It can be very tempting and most time begs you to compromise. Him do not wait until the last minute before you do your assignments, termpapers,seminar, mini-Projects etc


10: DREAM BIG,THINK BIG

Do not limit yourself to having a good grade like B or C.aspire to smash  A's in all your papers and more importantly, do not just read to pass examination, read to understand the concept and for  KNOWLEDGE'.

That's all we hope this will be helpful! Best of Lucks in your academic pursuit.

BUHARI DEEPLY CONCERNED ABOUT POOR RANKING OF NIGERIAM VARSITIES — TETFUND The Executive secretary, Tertiary Education Trust Fund(TETFund), Professor Suleiman Bogoro has said that the President of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari, is deeply concerned about the poor ranking of Nigerian Universities. Webometrics latest global (July) ranking placed the best Nigerian University, the University of Ibadan as the 1196th best University in the world, followed by Covenant University Ota which came 1314th university in the world. However, Bogoro, while speaking at a ceremony marking the 10th anniversary of TETFund in Abuja, reeled out some key areas of intervention funds allocated to the beneficiary institutions, which were aimed at upgrading them to world class institutions. Aside from the normal interventions, TETFund has, under the High Impact Projects, invested over N109 billion in public universities, polytechnics and Colleges of Education to support their emergence as centres of excellence. The Fund has also constructed multi-media teaching laboratories in 58 federal and state Colleges of Education with the rehabilitation and equipment of laboratories in 51 federal and state polytechnics as part of its commitment to making tertiary institutions in Nigeria become globally competitive in teaching, learning, research and innovation. The Executive Secretary noted that the funds allocated were aimed at enabling the tertiary institutions become world-class institutions, thereby improving on their global ranking, a situation he said was of deep concern to President Buhari who is determined to reverse the trend. Speaking on the efforts to make Nigerian tertiary institutions globally competitive, Bogoro said: “TETFund has also been providing support for teaching practice in federal and state colleges of education across the country. “So far, the Fund has supported over 71,263 lecturers under its Teachers’ Supervision Programme. “Considering the vital role that libraries play in educational institutions, TETFund has also allocated substantial funds to public federal and state tertiary institutions for the acquisition of library books, e-library resources and academic manuscript development to books in order to promote and support research, teaching and learning. “So far, the Fund has procured over 2,080,041 books for use in the libraries, 152,844 e-resources and 380,778 equipment as well as furniture were distributed across public tertiary institutions in Nigeria. “I am pleased to inform you that the Minister of Education, Malam Adamu Adamu, and President Muhammadu Buhari have approved that TETFund should complete the National Library which symbolises institutional repository of knowledge and research globally.” “In 2011, the Fund launched the National Research Fund (NRF) with a seed fund of N3b as its take-off grant to support cutting edge research in areas of critical national need and development; and in 2015, N1b was added. Following the approval of TETFund Board of Trustees in 2019, the NRF allocation became annual and N5b was approved for that year. “In 2020, President Muhammadu Buhari approved additional 50 per cent increase in allocation to the NRF, being N7.5b for that year and N8.5b in 2021. “So far, a total sum of N9b has been accessed by lecturers to finance their research activities. A total of 457 research projects have been approved across the country, some have been completed while some are still ongoing. “Apart from the above intervention mentioned, the Fund also allocates funds on an annual basis to support Academic Research Journals and institution Based Research (IBR) for research projects that are not more than N2Million per project across public tertiary institutions. “So far, about 2,175 projects have been approved for Institution Based Research and 342 Academic Research Journal projects were undertaken between 2011 and 2021,” he stated.

DELSU STUDENTS ACCUSE VC, BURSAR OF EXTORTION Delta University Students Accuse Vice-Chancellor, Bursar Of Extortion, Collecting N4,000 Each For Magazine they never received. The students of Delta State University Abraka, have accused their vice-chancellor, Andy Egwunyenga, and the bursar, Justice Egbare of extortion. According to the students, the alleged extortion has been going for almost 2 years. The students disclosed that every 100 level student or fresher is forced to pay N4,000 and the students do clearance after graduation for schools magazine- DELSU@25- which they never get. According to the students, the alleged extortion has been going on for almost two years. The students alleged that 100 level students or freshers are compelled and students doing clearance after graduation are compelled to pay N4,000 for the school’s magazine –DELSU @ 25– which they never get. Speaking to newsmen, a new student of the Delta State University, Oleh campus, who spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of victimisation, disclosed that in March 2021, he and other new students were compulsorily made to pay N4,000 for the school’s magazine, known as ‘DELSU @ 25’ which was not given to them. The student said, “As we talk, the magazine is moribund but still the VC and the bursar forced new intakes to pay the N4,000 each for the same moribund magazine, ‘Delta @ 25’ that we don’t see till we graduate. Even those doing clearance after graduation are made to pay this N4,000. “That is, if you escaped it at your 100 level registration. Others and I paid the N4,000 in March this year during my 100 level registration and while others paid theirs in February this year into the school’s Unity Bank account after which you go and convert the payment into DELSU receipt which I just gave to you now.” Another student in 200 level, who also spoke on condition of anonymity, confirmed the payment of the N4,000 for the school’s magazine. The student said the magazine had not been given to her till date, describing the act as “a serious fraud going on unnoticed in the institution, especially in the bursary department headed by Egbare”. “The school magazine, ‘Delta @ 25’ has been rested for some time now following some disagreements between the Vice-Chancellor and those in charge of the magazine publication because it was given out as a contract. But even as the magazine has been rested, the VC and the bursar still collect N4,000 each from new students who don’t get to sight a copy of the magazine which they have paid for. This is a serious fraud against the students. This fraud is committed yearly,” the student said. A graduate of the school who is currently doing his clearance at the institution in Abraka, displayed a document showing a payment of N4,000 made in favour of the institution. He said the sum of N4,000 was allegedly extorted from him by the school’s authority on Tuesday, December 2, 2021 when he went for his clearance in Abraka. “The magazine was not given to me,” he noted. “This is a draft showing payment I made in favour of the school at the bursary department. You can see in the draft, a total sum of N29,000 was paid, N4,000 was for the institution’s magazine called ‘DELSU @ 25’ that we don’t ever see, N15,000 was paid for a certificate while N10,000 was for the penalty for late clearance for collection of the certificate as shown in the draft. “Students are being made to pay this N4,000 every session for a magazine they don’t see till eternity. Graduates doing clearance are also forced to pay this N4,000 for the same magazine that is not in existence. Is that not fraud and a corrupt practice? This is how the VC and the bursar have continued to extort innocent students yearly,” the student said. New students and graduates of the institution have however cried out to the state governor Ifeanyi Okowa and the general public to prevail on the VC and the bursar to stop the alleged extortion and refund all the money so far allegedly extorted from them. Speaking with SaharaReporters on the issue, an official of TONDEK Agency, the firm publishing the institution’s magazine, ‘DELSU @ 25’, Anthony Arugba, described the N4,000 payment for the institution’s magazine by the students as a ‘monumental fraud’ going on in the school. Arugba said, “’DELSU @ 25’ publication is a contract from the institution but solely initiated and financed by TONDEK Agency with a life span of five years. However, shortly after the Vice-Chancellor, Andy Egwunyenga took over, he willfully breached the terms of the MoU, and when his opinion was sought on the issue, he boasted that he owed nobody an apology and that whatever agreement reached by his predecessor, died with the man that initiated the agreement, irrespective of the fact that the agreement was reached between the Agency and the University. “As of this day, Egwunyenga has blatantly refused to acknowledge every effort Tondek has made to reconcile the account with the university. “It is even strange that Egwunyenga who openly described the anniversary magazine as ‘useless and outdated’, has continued to connive with the school’s bursar, Justice Egbare, to extort the sum of N4,000 each for the magazine from new students, those doing clearance after graduation, as well as those applying for certificates. “What even makes the whole action somewhat fraudulent is that apart from his sheer refusal to remit Tondek’s share of the proceeds, a number of new students who paid for the magazine, particularly in Oleh campus of the university, were never issued the magazines till date. Therefore, what he has done could be likened to obtaining under false pretences. Does such action by Egwunyenga amount to honesty or fraud? Your guess is as good as mine!”

```“FG is blackmailing Us,” says ASUU as they postpone the decision on strike``` The Academic Staff Union of Universities has postponed its decision on strike, saying that consultations are still ongoing. This was contained in a press statement issued by the union after its National Executive Council meeting. The meeting held at its Festus Iyayi National Secretariat, University of Abuja, on Saturday, December 18, 2021 to review the level of government’s implementation of the FGN-ASUU Memorandum of Action of December 23, 2020 and other related matters. In the press statement titled, ‘Enough of blackmail’, signed by ASUU president, Prof Emmanuel Osodeke, the lecturers regretted that the Federal Government had turned its back on the plan to set up an inter-ministerial committee to review the draft Renegotiated 2009 FGN-ASUU Agreement. Part of the statement read, “NEC was worried by the spirited efforts of government agents to reduce the demands of ASUU to a regime of intermittent payment of watered-down revitalisation fund and release of distorted and grossly devalued Earned Academic Allowances. “ASUU shall not relent in demanding improvement in the welfare and conditions of service of our members. However, we shall resist any attempt to blackmail the union and derail our patriotic struggle for a productive university system by official propaganda founded on tokenism and crumb-sharing. “NEC concluded that government has failed to satisfactorily address all the issues raised in the 2009 FGN-ASUU Agreement and subsequent MoUs and MoAs. “However, considering the ongoing intervention and consultation efforts, NEC resolved to review the situation at a later date with a view to deciding on the next line of action.”
