9 Things Procrastination would do to you

2015-03-07T05:01:00.000-08:00

Procrastination: The primary key to failure.

Having gone through a level of education, and met a few successful people and several numbers of people who fail unfortunately. The excuse has always been the same. But among young people whom I’ve been with I realize that procrastination has always had its way.

DEFINITION: What is Procrastination?

Oxford advanced learners’ dictionary defines Procrastination as the act of someone delaying something that is meant to be done usually because he/she do not want to do it. When a person chooses to do something else at the expense of doing what was supposed to be done it is called procrastination.

CAUSES

When people procrastinate, it is often as a result of the following:

· Laziness

· Lack of time-value

· Carelessness

· Indiscipline, etc.

And these factors devalues one’s ability, it makes a once brilliant young kid engage in malpractice in an exam just because he/she procrastinated in reading for an examination. When a procrastinator discovers that the time lost cannot be retrieved again then they find an artificial means of making up for what was lost, and that is failure in the making.

Success aspirants should develop the “do it now attitude” so as to achieve designated goals. When one decides to perhaps read, write, start up a business, go to a place, change occupation, get married or do anything relevant, it is expected to be done, that is the real reason why we have more failure people working today. Many have lost their jobs, many their lives, many appointments of great importance, some business proposals, some project refusals and many other mischievous disappointment just because of one known giant called PROCRASTINATION.

9 Things procrastination would do to you.

Procrastination has resulted to several issues that the solution has been far-fetched. People are suffering as a result of procrastination either directly or indirectly, and some are:

1. Regret

2. Failure

3. Loss of focus

4. Resentment

5. Disappointment

6. Loss of opportunity

7. Degradation

8. Loss of self confidence

9. Ill-self esteem

1. Poverty.

THE WAY OUT OF PROCRASTINATION

1. Totally decided mind: a mind that has not been fully made up about doing something now will certainly be diverted if something eventually comes up.

2. Developing a value for time; people should learn how to put value on every second they spend doing something. “A well planned schedule can hardly pass a day without achieving a goal”.

3. Personal discipline: when a person is not disciplined, everything goes and that means unorganized and screwed. When asked to do something that is necessary at a set time, one has to discipline one’s self to do it at the exact time so it becomes part of you.

4. Start little: in case of business ideas/plans, maybe you have little money to start with and you perhaps search for bank loan or hope to get money for a large capital. Good but when you spend the money for minor expenses and it has come to very little, then you can’t even start again, and it leads you back to square one. But when you start with the little you have, you tend make more.

As a student, you have plans to read like 3 books a day, if it’s your first time, I advice you start from 1 before you go over to 2 then 3, because a saying goes “Rome was not built in a day”. Start from somewhere as a business person, clergyman, student, and musician, etc.

Lessons from the life of HEROES from the past 1: Thomas Edison "The great inventor"

2014-07-01T04:06:00.000-07:00

What was his pursuit and his inspirations that made him accomplish so much?

“Genius is one percent inspiration, ninety nine percent perspiration.” Thomas Alva Edison, Harper’s Monthly (September 1932 edition).

Having gone through the biography of Thomas Edison, it made realize so much about life, challenges, handling difficulties and pursuing your greatest passion. Edison was a business man as well as an inventor who had so little to begin life with.

He was born on the 11^th day of February, 1847. Milan, Ohio, U.S. and he died heroically on the 18^th day of October, 1931 in West Orange, New Jersey, U.S. (aged 84). His father ran away from his family for a disclosed reason. He was American with a reported Dutch ancestry.

He developed many devices that greatly influenced life around the world, including the PHONOGRAPH, the MOTION PICTURE CAMERA, and the first long-lasting, practical electric light bulb which lasted for 13.5 hours. He is so prolific in his inventions that he holds 1,093 US patents in the United Kingdom, France, and Germany.

His education life was not so buoyant, as he was downed by his teacher because he has a wandering mind which prompted him (the reverend Engle) to call him “addled”. This ended Edison’s three months of official schooling. He recalled later, and said, “My mother is the making of me. She was so true, so sure of me; and I felt I had something to live for, someone I must not disappoint.” His mother taught him at home. Much of his education came from reading R.G. parker’s school of Natural Philosophy and The cooper Union. HE MADE THE BEST OF HIS INABILITY TO COMPLETE NORMAL SCHOOL PROCESS.

He developed hearing problem when he was thrown off a moving train along with his apparatus when his chemical laboratory in a boxcar caught fire in the train in Smiths Creek, Michigan.

When his family moved to Port Huron, Michigan, his life there was a living hell. Edison was young; he sold candy and newspaper on trains running from Port Huron to Detroit, and sold vegetables to supplement his income. He was able to struggle and studied qualitative analysis, and conducted chemical experiments on the train until an accident halted further work of that kind.

Edison then obtained the official right to sell newspaper on the road, where he began a type and print publication called the Grand Trunk Herald, which he sold with his other papers. This was how his entrepreneurial ventures began, as e discovered his talents in business. These talents eventually led him to found 14 companies, including General Electric, which is still one of the largest publicly traded companies in the world today.

I hope you can get inspired by how determined he was even to the extent that he had to sell stuffs just to survive and make ends meet in his journey of life. Of course, he was successful in doing it all. I will be sharing more of his inventions with you in my next week publication. Nothing is going to happen to that your vision except you do something about it. Am so inspired right now, I wish you could be too.

Breaking news: An important secret shared.

2014-06-20T06:25:00.001-07:00

If you are feeling somewhat discouraged by your disinclination to follow Jesus’ advice on prayer, let me share with you a way of overcoming this reluctance. I warn you it will take a little discipline, but the rewards will far outweigh the effort.

The secret is to begin your prayer time with meditation. I learnt this in George Muller’s writings from many years ago, who said that the practice of meditating on scripture before beginning his prayer time transformed his relationship with the lord. ‘For the first ten years of my Christian life,’ he wrote, ‘my habit was to wash and dress myself, and then turn to prayer.’ But often he felt his prayer time was tedious and boring. Then, as he changed his approach to prayer by first reading the word of God and meditating on it, he found his heart would leap towards prayer almost of its own accord.

He would speak to God about the things he had discovered in the Word and never again did he find prayer wearisome.

Those who must have discovered this secret also were the Puritans who lived in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Richard Baxter advocated this method; John Owen (chaplain to Oliver Cromwell) made the same recommendation, and so did Matthew Henry, the famous Bible commentator.

‘….in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. (Philippians 4:6).

Permit me now to lay this challenge before you: as Jesus expects us to pray, and to pray often, are you prepared to look at your prayer life and make a fresh evaluation of it? Jesus prayed much. Do you want to be like him? Then discipline yourself to be a person of prayer. One thing is sure: after hearing, reading, and studying God’s word, prayer is the next most important spiritual exercise.

The tale of time management 1.

2014-06-12T09:49:00.003-07:00

The truth about time management.

Psalms 90 vs. 1 to 17; Ecclesiastes 3 vs. 1 to 8; Matthew 6 vs. 25 to 33;

The book of the Psalmist chapter 90 verses 12 wrote: Teach us to number our days aright, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.

One of the most influenced pieces of literature (about time usage) I ever read was a little pamphlet written by Charles Hummel entitled: The tyranny of the urgent. In it explains that until we know the difference between the urgent and the important then we will never become good stewards of our time. Our lives are often ruled by the urgent because we have never taken the time to put things in their proper order of priority.

The man who influenced the world the most (JESUS CHRIST) was a man with a leisured heart. He was never flurried and never worried. But he always had time for the things that mattered.

Suppose we were talking face to face and I asked you: what do you propose to do at 5pm yesterday? What would you say? You might probably say: ‘Samuel, are you mad? I can’t decide what I shall do at 5pm yesterday – perhaps yesterday has come and gone.’ But what if I were to ask: ‘what do you intend to do at 5pm tomorrow?’ then you might say: ‘Ah, that’s different.’

The choice can still be made. Time past is gone over which we have no control; but time to come is time concerning which we must search ourselves because we cannot escape the responsibility of deciding how we will spend it. In other words, you decide how it goes, directly or indirectly. The use of time subjects us to a test of discipline, trying us as silver refined in a furnace.

Will your life be ruled by the important or by the urgent? YOU CAN DECIDE!

A little boy who was late for school prayed: ‘Lord, help me be there on time.’ He ran out of his house but stumbled and fell. ‘Lord,’ he said, ‘I asked you to help me, not push me.’ Don’t let life push you; you will stumble if you do.

Take my advice today, don’t procrastinate but rather develop the “do it now attitude.”

Use your time well.

Immunization for man's reading faculty: Choosing what to read.

2014-06-05T06:29:00.000-07:00

Galatians 6:7; Ecclesiastes 12:12; Daniel 9:1-3; Habakkuk 2:2.

“When one reads good books, it is like having a conversation with men of good breeding who lived in the past”. Renes Descartes (a seventeenth century French philosopher);

Someone also said: “every book carries the spirit of the writer”.

Reading is like having a selective conversation in which the author expresses only his innermost thoughts. As you read a book, part of the writer’s ideas and thoughts are transferred unto you. It is not all the writer’s ideas and thoughts that are noble. This has resulted to many broken homes, divorce, fighting, religious conflicts, political crisis and so many other mischief.

You, from hence forth, need to choose what you read. Bad books will corrupt you and consequently condemn your soul to corruption. Beware and be warned. Be not deceived: “evil communications corrupt good manners” – 1 Corinthians 15:33.

1. THE POWER INHERENT IN READING.

Reading is potent. It is the key that unlocks various kinds of knowledge and skills. Often, what you read directs or redirects your life. A student in a science class is likely to end up as a medical doctor, or an engineer, or a pharmacist, or as a professional in any of the science – related fields; simply because of what he she is reading and studying. Children tend to pursue their parents’ professions that they have immediate access to. When Daniel went through some books, he was influenced by what he read. It stirred him to pray and fast. (According to our test) This consequently changed the life and history of his people.

2. CAUTION AGAINST READING OF BAD MATERIALS.

“Whatsoever a man sows, that is what he shall reap”.

When you read bad materials, you feed yourself with wrong pieces of information and consequently wrong knowledge. Feeding your thought and life with wrong information and knowledge will land you in an undesirable situation. As a person, avoid materials that contain traits you wouldn’t want to be part of you. E.g. romance, pornography, divorce, quitting jobs, dropping out of school, cultism, wrong religious teachings, and so many others. They will pollute you and also lead you to confusion, regret, and condemnation.

The initial implications of such materials are as follows:

· The fictional deceptive stories will cloud your vision of reality;

· They will stir up strong feelings and curiosity which could end up in wrong relationships;

· They will change your perspective about issues;

· They will aid you make several wrong decision.

These will surely axe your strength down in everything. I know of a beautiful woman happily married with her husband, blessed with great kids. She incidentally met one of her youth day lover of whom she fell in serious love with but couldn’t get married to him. They both had a nice chat, perhaps a drink at a bar close-by.

Due to a book she read by an author (of which I will not mention the name). The book advices people in relationships (that is in marriage) to quit if they find any other person they love more. Any I wonder if marriage is just any other ordinary relationship, or just a meeting between two people to produce children. After reading the book, the woman jumped at the guy at his proposal for another marriage, and this prompted her to leave her husband and those lovely kids. Oh, what a wrong idea shared into her! But unfortunately, the man she supposedly loved more and went after never loved her same way. He just wanted pleasure because he is a flirt. After using her, he dumped her and she was left stranded with nobody to turn to except the husband she had left.

Even as the husband forgave her, peace has not been really in the family as it once was. WHAT DO YOU READ?!!! Pause* and Ask yourself this question. We need to be careful.

3. COUNSEL FOR GOAL ORIENTED PEOPLE.

As they say: Readers are Leaders. Show me a great inspired individual with exceptional qualities among peers, and then will I point to you a great reader.

But you must ensure that you read the right materials. The materials you read must positively offer you one or a combination of the following: (I) inspiration (ii) information (iii) good education. So these are my advice:

1. Be selective of what you read;

2. Avoid novels that arouse immoral feelings or lead to unrealistic expectations;

3. Read Christians literature, science and good history books;

4. Read more of the bible and bible-related publications, example like the one you are reading all this from now; Subscribe to get our publications weekly via email address.

5. Carry out a thorough survey of the book you wish to read. Check out for the title, preface, foreword, table of content, “about the book”, and more importantly ‘about the author’. You must know his intent for writing the book. When you suspect that the content will not help you positively, drop it immediately please. Don’t gamble with your knowledge! The human brain is like a computer data base. The moment a virus enters, it spreads until it overtakes all its activities. This is the anti-virus you need to stop that wrong flow of information.

Remember, readers of good materials are leaders. Therefore, read to empower yourself positively so as to live a successful and valuable life. Joyce Meyer wrote on her twitter page: “ignorance should be feared more than the devil” Be wise and accept this immunization.

How to improve your thinking ability: CREATIVE THINKING.

2014-05-29T05:53:00.001-07:00

Proverbs 23:7; Philippians 4:8.

For as a man thinks in his heart, so is he: ………

Creative thinking is a specific thought-process which improves and maximizes the ability of the brain to generate new ideas.

Your thinking controls your life. The quality of your thinking will always determine the results you see in your life. Every known human accomplishment of repute, either of machine, technology, or ideologies, was born out of deep and qualitative thinking. We must learn to exercise and exert our brain more than we are doing at the moment.

We should tackle our personal and social-economic challenges, as solutions of many earthly and human problems are embedded in the deeper thinking ability of man. The human mind is a factory that can create and manufacture new great innovative ideas.

THE POWER OF CREATIVE THINKING.

When it comes to creativity, the good news is that significant creativity is within everyone’s reach. It is highly attainable to any one irrespective of age, social class, financial class, or whatever different category in life. It breeds happiness; efficiency; productivity; and technological advancement. Apart from this, we are able to solve the little problems that confront us daily.

1. Bill Gate became richer by thinking deeply. When he was a teenager his, mother recalled that he spent so much time alone. Thinking gave him ideas that led to the building of the most awesome software company in the world MICROSOFT CORPORATION.

2. There was a time when street lights were powered by kerosene. Thomas Edison started to think deeply about how to produce better light. Today, the world is a lot brighter because of Edison’s creative thinking.

3. A janitor was disturbed greatly by dust anytime he cleaned and swept. The dust made him to cough and sneeze. He came up with an idea which brought about a workable vacuum cleaner that sucked off dust. This idea induced a company H.W.Hoover to finance it. Deep and creative thinking has brought about many inventions e.g. The refrigerator, aero plane, computer, wireless phone, internet, etc. All these have helped, in no small way, to ease the problems of man.

4. A man preparing to host a lot of invited guests at a big wedding party in Nigeria observed that there were only a few toilets available for thousands of guests expected at the venue. His thinking brought about the idea that was to change the entire course of his life – Mobile Toilets! Today Otunba Gadaffi’s concept has made his company the only local manufacturer of mobile toilets in West Africa.

TIPS TO IMPROVING YOUR THINKING.

1. ASKING THE RIGHT QUESTIONS: Creative thinking starts with asking the right question. E.g. “What are the problems areas? “What is the way out? “How can I do it better? How can I solve these problems?” Please understand that, there is a solution for every problem and whatever you do, there must be a better way to do it and achieve better results. Do not settle for mediocrity…. Click here to read more about it.

2. OPEN UP MIND TO IDEAS: The moment you set your brain thinking, you must open your mind for a “stream of ideas” to flow in. Do not make fun of ideas that comes to you; rather allow the ideas to come in.

3. BE A QUICK CAPTURER: The next stage is called “capturing”. The main thing that distinguishes “creative” people from other people is that, the creative ones have leant ways to pay attention to and preserve some of the new ideas that occur to them. They have capturing skill. Let’s see how you can improve your capturing skill.

· Always have a pen and pad with you – even at your bed side, in your hand bag. Great ideas can flow anytime and you write them down.

· Watch out for certain settings and times. For example some people have greater flows of ideas when they are alone, especially in bath, on bed, or on the bus.

4. ALWAYS ASSESS YOUR WRITTEN IDEAS: Proper analysis is needed in all the ideas you have at your disposal and the ones you have written down and eliminate those that are not applicable or relevant.

5. FINALISE YOUR PLANS IN THE BEST OPTION POSSIBLE: Come up with the best strategy after examining the pros AND cons. I always tell people to keep on pressing forward, do not settle for less. Bring out the best method and work towards achieving your goals.

How to step out of being average and move to perfection

2014-05-22T12:00:00.000-07:00

MEDIOCRITY, AN ENEMY OF PERFECTION

Perfection is the product of years of struggling, imperfection, mediocrity and mistakes. It also means being entire, complete, or excellent.

People tend to scare away from becoming perfect, they escape with the phrase “nobody can be perfect” while someone can actually be. It is not impossible, it is farfetched but not out of this world.

Jesus spoke his disciple telling them “Be you perfect, even as your father who is in heaven is perfect”(Matthew 5:48)

Is he a soothsayer for him to tell you to do what is not possible? Is he insane? It cannot be, because he was a discipler with results, he was totally successful in his field so for him to tell you to be prefect was because he has seen the possibility in becoming perfect.

Mediocrity is the act of being average, not ahead or below, just in the middle. This is a great danger to perfection. It should not be overlooked.

A thief could start stealing from coin to cash, from cash to cheque, then eventually armed to the bank, you can see he is actually growing in what started from the cradle, he is said to be becoming perfect in his stealing, same goes with a liar. A liar lies from the start with fear but as time goes on, he doesn’t even think before he lies, it has become part of him. So likewise perfection is possible.

What is stopping you from becoming perfect? Why can you not be complete?

IT IS BECAUSE WE ARE HUMANS. That is pure mediocrity.

“It is human to err and it is God’ to forgive” like we would say but he said become perfect.

When God created you, he made you perfect. You are made wonderfully (Psalm 139:14)

FAILURE, A STEPPING STONE TO PERFECTION

Great men are born out of great challenges. Without a failure, there will be no aim for success. The intensity for perfection would not be actualized except there is a stain of failure.

If you are not failing, you are not growing. Failure is delay, not defeat. It is temporary detour, not a dead end road.

Edison failed several times before he perfected modern electric lamp. The average man would have quilted at the first failure. That is why there are so many average people and only one Edison. I would rather fail in a cause that will ultimately succeed than succeed in a cause that will ultimately fail.

People are not remembered by how few times they failed but by how often they get up from it and try again. Don’t fear failure so much that you refuse to try new things.

Look at what you have left and not what you lost. THE WORD FAIL IS AN ACRONYM OF FIRST ATTEMPT IN LEARNING. If you won’t take the risk of failing, then perfection and success shall be far from you.

So aim for perfection in your life style, career, business, family, attitude, and whatever your hand finds to do. DO NOT SETTLE FOR MEDIOCRITY, WHEN YOU CAN BE MORE THAT PERFECT.

It is time to overcome our worst fears and take a bold step at becoming perfect.

9 THINGS NOT TO SAY WITH THE TONGUE

2014-05-14T10:14:00.000-07:00

“There is that speak like piercings of a sword:but the tongue of the wise is health” (Pro. 12:18)

You can tell a wise man by the kind of words that come out of his mouth. Words are not to be used as swords and spears but as medicine. Your words should bind up broken heart, and give hope to the hopeless. Anytime you speak right, your words give healing to your listeners. While speaking, purposely select your words from today, words that are mild, soothing, encouraging, and edifying.

Things the tongue should not say are listed below:

1. DON’T SPEAK EVIL AGAINST PEOPLE IN AUTHORITY: whether it be your president, governor, general manager, religious leader i.e. perhaps pastors, leader or ruler of your people, parents, no matter what they do or what you hear about them-don’t carry it about, Pray for them.

2. DON’T GOSSIP YOUR COLLEAGUE, FRIEND OR PARTNER: “Did you like what he did?” “I didn’t”. The next time you make such a comment to anyone apart from John himself, you are gossiping John.

3. DON’T BOAST: Are you a fine orator? Remember King Nebuchadnezzar in the holy scriptures who bragged of who he had become and God sent him into exile for seven(7) years where he ate grass and became like a monster until he recognize God as the only sovereign of all creature. Always remember the role God plays in your life.

4. DON’T COMMENT ON ALL YOU SEE: Have you become an unpaid vendor? You sight a newspaper headline in London and you start running commentaries on its implications to America, without reading the content of the article.(Half truth is dangerous)

5. DON’T FORESWEAR YOURSELF: Be it in the court of law, there is a provision for you to merely affirm your words. Always “let your nay be nay and your yea be yea. Whether its relationship oath or so, do not foreswear. Don’t be a fake person, I dislike them. Be truthful and trustworthy.

6. DON’T CONFESS NEGATIVE: Someone asked about your health and you replied, “Fine, but am still cold, having headache, am not even sure I could survive it”. Be positive, act to get well, and have the faith that you will get up soon.

7. DON’T BE A TALKACTIVE: Don’t “parrot” for the sake of being called a good social mixer. “A fool is full of words” (Eccl. 10:14) Why be a talkative?

8. DON’T CURSE: “Does a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?” How do you bless God but curse human beings with the same tongue? Be wise. Tame your tongue to bless always.

9. DON’T MURMUR AND DON’T COMPLAIN: Mariam did it and became a leper (Num. 12: 1-10). Korah, Dathan, and Abiram did it and the ground swallowed them up alive with their entire households (Num. 16:1-33) BUILD-UP WITH YOUR TONGUE (Prov. 14:1) Do your words heal of kill?

THE SECRET OF GOOD SUCCESS

2014-05-07T08:51:00.001-07:00

The Secret of good success

"a man without God's word is like a traveler without a map"

This has been sought after for quite long,

people have always sought after a success

that would last and have a guarantee.

Where can true success be found? Some

go as far as praying dangerous prayers,

some engage in sacrifices, some blood money,

some could kill relations and business partners

just for a success that will not last. It’s so

awkward the way we all search.

Even the richest men on earth still search for

success. If not so then why don’t they close

their area of revenue? And give all their wages

to the poor. Why do they insure their companies,

houses, life, and assets? when they are supposedly

successful. This is just a symbol of their temporal

success; their success is not permanent and divinely

insured. Men got to see answers and that would

bring them back to who created them.

FROM THE CREATOR’S TABLE

God gave a command in Joshua 1:8, “This book of

the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou

shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou

mayest observe to do according to all that is

written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way

prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success”

Can we not see the map to success in this? Can we

not follow this simple principle from the one who

has created us? No, we are stubborn and perverse;

we have neglected him and his word.

He also said in verse 9 of that scripture “Have not I

commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage;

be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the

LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest;

We can now see that true success is in God’s word,

we have been searching where there is no success,

now we know let’s turn unto him now he may be found.

STUDY GOD’S WORD DAY AND NIGHT

Follow up with this other scriptures De 17:18-19; Jos 1:7; Ps 1:1-3

SAY NO TO RACISM AND DISCRIMINATION

2014-05-01T07:16:00.001-07:00

STOP RACISM AND PROMOTE UNITY IN ALL RACE

SAY NO TO RACISM AND DISCRIMINATION

Why is racism common among white? Why do they discriminate the most? Is God white or black? Is there anything special in being white or black or red?

Let us join the online initiatives to raise awareness of the battle against prejudice, ignorance and intolerance within the world. It is something that is even in football where a banana was thrown at a player (Dani Alves) while a game was on in Spain {Villareal vs. Barcelona} but to his credit, Alves responded in the best way possible by picking up the banana and eating it inside the field.

“We are all equal, we are all monkeys, say no to racism” wrote by Neymar Da Silva jnr.(fellow teammate of Dani Alves@fcbarcelona) on his social media site instagram to express his disgust at what had happened. He accompanied it with a hashtag #weareallmonkeys.

It’s a shame that there’s such prejudice in this modern age. It is time for people to raise their voices against this ludicrous action.

To show your support against racism, send a picture of you eating banana to my twitter account @iamsamiejames then using the hashtag #SayNoToRacism.

And also share this to your friends on facebook and other sites too.

JAMB RESULT 2014: EVIDENCE OF CORRUPTION

2014-05-01T05:14:00.001-07:00

JAMB RESULT 2014: EVIDENCE OF CORRUPTION

What?! exclaimed by a potential jamb candidate after knowing that #1500 is the amount to pay before checking his jamb result 2014.

It is arguably confirmed that the UTME board has developed this scheme for 2014 to increase their income through scratch cards. Last year, it wasn’t so. A student could pay a maximum #500 and in the next few minute it’s out.

This could be regarded as abduction done to these students who are just in search for admission. The UTME board knows that a minimum of 90% of students who wrote the exam must attempt to check their result and must pay that amount which would general lead to about several billions of naira. This is just for checking a UTME paper and pencil test results. This is quite a scandal, why would they charge like that? Which other country does jamb? Corruption is now fully in Nigeria’s education.

Same thing happened with the immigration service in Nigeria where several thousands of Nigerians (graduates) registered with #1000 just to sit for the test. Millions were made from it while many were rumored dead as a result of the stampede that occurred meanwhile not up to a thousand is needed for the employment. What is this?

This is highly scandalous; I wish young Nigerians could get up and fight against this. Let’s change this mindset and develop into a true patriotic and generous citizen. Let us stand together and fight against this corruption, and it begins with a change from YOU.
