SECRET REVIEWED: How To Become A First Class Holder In Your Choice Of School. A Must Read

Now that college/university-admission letters are been published, most students (and parents) will place great importance on which of the colleges/universities accepted them (there kids), myschool.com.ng however, suggests that the most important thing about colleges/universities is not where you got admitted, but what you do once you get there.

Myschool team has deliberately taken a bold step to reach out to her members on what the best college students do to set a road map for how they can get the most out of college/university, no matter where they go.

myschool.com.ng is back with more humane, doable, and inspiring help, this time for students who want to get the most out of college—and every other educational enterprise, too. The first thing they should do is; Think beyond the transcript. The creative, successful people profiled in that school of choice —college graduates who went on to change the world we live in—aimed higher than straight A’s. They used their four years to effectively achieve what others couldn't achieve.
Little Tips for our student most especially, 2013/2014 admission seekers and our entire student please bear this in mind.

There are three types of learners:
Surface: Those who do as little as possible to get by;
Strategic: People who aim for top grades rather than true understanding;
Deep learners: Student who leave college with a real, rich education.
Things you must do while in school if you want to achieve high goal.
Pursue passion, not A’s.
Get comfortable with failure

Have a personal connection with your studies.
Ask big questions

Cultivate empathy for others.

Think differently (Positively)

We are all advised to introduce a host of real-life deep learners: young and old, scientific and artistic, famous or still getting there, although they each have their own insights. Although going to college is supposed to be a full-time job, the authors reported that students spent, on average hours a week studying and that many were skating through their semesters without doing a significant amount of reading and writing. Students who take more challenging classes and spend more time studying do learn more.

But the priorities of many undergrads are with extracurricular activities and clubs, practicing and playing sports, and partying and socializing — and let’s not forget sleeping. The results are clear.

Our desire for our students is to be the best and for all of them to acquire what he/she requires to acquire.

FG Condemns ASUU’s New Demands

The Federal Government, yesterday, condemned the new conditions which Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, insists must be met before the five-month old strike could be called off.

The three conditions were payment of four months salaries, which accumulated during the period of the strike; immediate implementation of the N1.2 trillion offered by the government to public universities, starting with the release of N100 billion this year and the balance of N1.1 trillion to be spread over five years from 2014.

The union also demanded that the salary arrears must not be paid in piecemeal.

These were some of the resolutions reached by members of the National Executive Council, NEC, of the union that met in Kano on Friday.

Supervising Minister of Education, Nyesom Wike, condemned the new conditions but assured that he would present them before President Goodluck Jonathan.

EBSU breaks ranks, recalls students
Meanwhile, the management of Ebonyi State University, Abakaliki, EBSU, yesterday ordered lecturers and students of the institution to return to classes following the inability of ASUU to end its strike.

A statement by the Registrar of the institution, Mr. Sam Egwu, stressed that the institution had resolved to resume academic activities regardless of the ASUU-FG dispute, adding that academic activities would resume in all the campuses of the institution from today, Tuesday, November 26.

EBSU chapter of ASUU however, said that lecturers would not return to classes until their demands were met in line with the position of its national body.

FG Should Pay ASUU Salary Arrears –NLC, TUC

The President of the Trade Union Congress, Mr. Boboi Kaigama and the Acting General Secretary of the Nigeria Labour Congress, Mr. Chris Uyot, on Monday, called on the Federal Government to accede to the demand of striking university lecturers by paying their salary arrears from July to October, 2013.

Both Kaigama and Uyot, who spoke in different telephone interviews with our correspondent, said that the issue at stake was too serious for the government to endanger with a minor issue as the withholding of the salaries of the striking lecturers.

Kaigama said that the lecturers should have been paid their salaries as going on strike did not mean that they were no longer entitled to their salaries.

He explained that the union went on strike because the Federal Government failed to implement the 2009 agreement reached with the university lecturers.

He added that it was not the lecturers’ fault for embarking on the strike, saying the story would have been different if it was ASUU that violated the terms of the agreement.

He said, “It is okay, they are supposed to be paid their salaries; when one is on strike, it does not mean that he cannot be paid his or her salary.

“They went on strike because of an agreement that was negotiated which the government has not been able to fulfill. The government should, pay them their salaries. The situation would have been different if they were the ones that reneged on the agreement.”

On the issue of the insistence of the leadership of ASUU that the Federal Government must commence implementation of the fresh agreement with the union through the release of N100bn this year, he said that he did not see the government going back on the agreement.

He said that the TUC and the NLC would support ASUU to ensure the implementation of the last agreement as it was witnessed by him and the NLC President, Mr. Abdulwahed Omar.

“The NLC President Omar, and I are living witnesses to the final agreement that was reached between them and the government; we will support them based on what we witnessed, based on what they agreed with the government and the new implementation strategy.

“The TUC and the NLC will back them to ensure that the implementation strategy is followed. An aspect will be implemented this year and the first quarter of next year,” he added

Kaigama said that while he wouldn’t speak for ASUU, it was his conviction that they might have been waiting for an agreement to be signed before calling off the strike.

Speaking also, the Acting General Secretary of NLC, Uyot, said that the NLC was of the view that the Federal Government would not allow the issue of the outstanding salary arrears of ASUU members to disrupt its offer to the union.

Uyot said that it was unlikely that the Federal Government would allow such a “minor issue” to derail its discussions with the union considering the fact that both parties wanted the issue of the lingering strike to be resolved.

He stated also that while ASUU went on strike, the government couldn’t be exonerated from the industrial dispute having failed to implement the 2009 agreement reached with the university lecturers.

“Well, given the spirit of the discussions between ASUU and government officials led by President Goodluck Jonathan, the issue of non-payment of salaries, we do not think, is something the government might consider because the spirit was such that both parties particularly the government wanted resolved.

“So, we don’t think that a minute issue would derail the offer that the government has made.

“In any case both parties were involved in the strike. The union signed an agreement with the government which the government did not implement, so government cannot say that it was not part of the problem,” he said.

VC Seeks Better Research On Organic Agriculture


The Vice-Chancellor of the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta, Ogun State, Prof. Olusola Oyewole, has challenged researchers to map out better strategies for organic agriculture in the country.

He said the call had become imperative, as organic agriculture had become a money-spinning enterprise.

The VC, represented by the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Development), Prof. Kolawole Salako, gave the charge at a recent national conference organised by the Organic Agriculture Project in Tertiary Institutions in Nigeria organised the conference.

According to him, in developed countries, organic agriculture accounts for about US$65bn per annum of certified organic goods and products and so it is the time for Africa and Nigeria in particular to key into the initiative.

Oyewole noted that following the importance of the organic agriculture, the authorities of the university had concluded plans to run a degree in it.

The university, which he said the World Bank has designated as an African Centre of Excellence, would continue to be a pacesetter in agricultural development.

The acting Vice-Chancellor, Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomoso, Prof. Adeniyi Gbadegesin, who also called for the development of the sub-sector, said it would help the world to avoid the effects of harmful chemicals associated with conventional agricultural practices.

Delivering a paper entitled Organic Agriculture for National Food Security, Conservation of Biodiversity and Climate Change Adaptation, Gbadegesin represented by the Heads of Department, Crop and Environmental Protection of LAUTECH, Dr. Iheme Olabiyi, said organic agriculture promoted soil enrichment, ecosystem, biodiversity and people’s health.

The don, who debunked the claim that organic agriculture would meet the world’s food demand, added that it performed better than the conventional agriculture practice on a per-hectare scale.

Also, the Vice-Chancellor of the National Open University, Prof. Vincent Tenebe, said organic agriculture, if well developed, could meet the country’s food demand, safe-guard its natural resources and promote a healthy environment.

Iyayi: ASUU still suspects foul play, asks for autopsy

THE Academic Staff Union of Universities has asked for an autopsy to determine the actual cause of the death of its former president, Prof. Festus Iyayi, our correspondent learnt in Benin, Edo State, on Monday.

The varsity teachers’ union is said to be suspecting foul play in the death of Iyayi who died after his vehicle was involved in an accident with a vehicle in the convoy of the Kogi State Governor, Capt. Idris Wada (retd.), on November 12.

ASUU’s suspicion that the cause of Iyayi’s death could not have been the injuries he sustained in the accident was said to have been fuelled by an object, which reportedly pierced through the late activist’s body.

The University of Benin chapter of ASUU, in a statement on Monday, said, “Prof. Festus Iyayi did not just die in an accident, but was wilfully murdered by the state and its agents.

“At the appropriate time ASUU and Prof. Iyayi’s family shall demand concrete answers from the state for his murder.”

The statement, which was signed by the union’s chairman and secretary, Dr. Anthony Monye-Emina and Okeri Henry, respectively, said it was aware that there were deliberate steps by the state and its agents to distort facts of the accident as it happened.

It stated, “This started with the reckless and irresponsible press statement that was issued by the Kogi State Government to try to explain away the killing of Prof. Iyayi, and there are further attempts to conceal and distort available evidence. We shall of course meet them with the facts.”

Warning state officials to stay away from Iyayi’s funeral rites, ASUU said, “Iyayi’s family are capable of giving the late professor the befitting burial he deserves.”

It also served notice that “Governor Idris Wada and those ancilliary to the accident will be made to face trial for the murder Prof. Iyayi.”

Commenting on the development, Iyayi family spokesman, Prof. Robert Ebewele, said that the issue of autopsy was ASUU’s affair and that the family would go ahead with the burial already slated for the first week of December.
