GPA KILLING MISTAKES YOU MUST AVOID.

1. FAILURE TO OVERCOME PROCRASTINATION
The 14 letters above is the grave where opportunities are buried. Don’t push things to the future if you can address them in the present. Killing time is not murder, it is suicide. Don’t wait for the exams to be close before you begin adequate preparations.
One reason you should stop swimming in the ocean of procrastination is that you cannot predict the future. Today is the only asset you are sure of. Say no to procrastination.

2. COMPARISON
Comparison is not a proof of anything. Life is not to compete but to complete. You say; “Mr A uses this approach and it works for him, so let me do the same” or “I want to be like peter”. Now, who is Peter? I don’t know but certainly not you. Just be unique; look for what produces the best result for you and stick to it.

3. PRIDE
Nothing kills your GP faster than when you begin to form ‘Mr Pompous’. when you are proud, you become too heavy for people to carry. Humble your self to learn what you don’t know. Ask questions, seek help even from your juniors.

4. YOU ARE TOO SHY
You are too shy to relate with people. Have you forgotten that according to research, you
remember a lot when you teach others or engage in group discussions? if your GP being affected because you are shy, it is time to work on yourself.

5. BAD COMPANY
Are your close friends those who are not serious academically? then stop complaining about your poor performance. Like I always say, your friends are the picture of your future. Review your association immediately.

6. YOU SLEEP TOO MUCH
You can’t be sleeping too much and expect your GPA to be awake. Too much Sleep hasn’t helped you o. You need to check and balance that thing that makes your eyes always close.

7. YOU BLAMES OTHERS
You always have reasons to blame your lecturers or friends for your poor performance. In the beginning, it was not so. The earlier you start taking full responsibilities for your life, the better.

8. YOUR LAST SUCCESS
You relaxed because you did very well the other time. Have you forgotten so soon that your last achievement is your greatest enemy? it doesn’t make sense, but it does. Look back occasionally but forward continuously.

9. YOU SETTLED FOR LESS
You decided to take anything that comes your way. Have you forgotten that any GP can be 0.5? go for what you want. Don’t let anyone tell you to settle for less. Your GPA trend continues until you decide to aim for the very best.

10. INCONSISTENCY
It is better to die standing than to continuously live in your kneels. Don’t have a scattered academic or reading life. Be consistent in your dealings.

11. SKIPPING CLASSES
Some of the things your lecturer say in class are the prophecies of your exam questions. You skipped the class, there you missed the rhema. Academic Rhema is the key to your success.

12. YOU DIDN’T COMPLETE THE SCHEME
The part you left out may likely come out on the exam. Try to cover as much as possible before the exam. The issue of not completing the scheme can be overcome by starting early and being consistent.

13. ADDICTION TO TECHNOLOGY
Your addiction to Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, twitter, games, films, phones and so on, are not helping matters as well. Try to put some limits on your social life.

14. NOT IMPROVING YOURSELF
Self improvement is the beginning of self discovery. Don’t use last session’ information to solve this semester’s reality. Learn how to answer exam questions. 15a in school politics/unionism you are there without thinking of what brought you to campus it will also make your GPA drop

15b . DISTRACTIONS FROM OPPOSITE SEX
You should be able to explain this one better. You are permitted to allow distractions from the opposite see b . That is, if it doesn’t’ affect your GPA. Else, run very fast. Tell yourself the truth in this aspect. I just want to make common sense..

Why government job? Here are 5 businesses to startup in Nigeria.

While a majority of the Nigerian population are forcing their way into the public sector to meet ends, a lot of opportunities are dieing down, and remain untapped in the country.   A nation that have produced the richest man in African, richest woman in Africa  and a growing large telecom company, but yet its citizens still run to government to offer them jobs. I picked sectors in the country that have a lot of opportunities to dig into. While it might differ in location, these are the ones i found in my place. Feel free to add yours at the comment box below. 1. Poultry Farming.   With the festive periods drawing close, chicken is not only needed but eggs also. These eggs can be supplied to restaurants as well as sold to retail outlets. Believe me I've seen a lot of people make it in this business. If you start with 1,000 birds and manage your poultry farm properly, when the turnover on investment begins to come, you will be making millions annually. ...

Sir Isaac Newton would pass for the definition critical thinking personified. It was recorded that Newton was taking a peaceful walk in his garden when he suddenly spot an apple falling from a tree. He sat thinking why the apple did not fall sideways or went back up, but fall down to the ground. From that unfolding, he embarked on a research and came up with the law of gravity. Yes, whatever goes up must come down.   But you know what? Apples fall everyday. Yes, the little things that happen to and around us daily are like the falling apple in Newton's garden. If only we could be ...
