ADAPTATION IN SCHOOL: EAT OR BE EATEN

The four walls of a school can be compared to a jungle because in every school there a the top tier students the middle class students and those at the bottom just as we have a similar hierarchy in the jungle.
We’re saying this not to scare our fellow students but to let them know how to handle the trials of acquiring an academic degree in a university.
The way we’ve been taught for six years in secondary school is quite different from the way we’re being taught here in the university in the secondary school our teachers had the opportunity to pay personal attention to each of our academic needs but in the university education is faster and that means whether we as students like it or not we have to learn how assimilate fast. To be honest unlike in secondary school in the university nobody has anytime to personally coach you so as a student you will have to do your best to catch up or fail not to say our lecturers don’t do their best but there’s only so much they can do like the saying goes “you can take the horse to the river but you cannot force it to drink water”.
The best way to get yourself to catch up as a student is to understand your learning ability,you will have to understand how fast and how well you learn in order to create a learning and reading plan for yourself we called this a “learning pattern “. All fingers are not and can not be equal so you will have to learn what works for you rather than following the pattern of those around you.
For example some learn faster in the classroom when their lecturer explains to them while others will have to go back to read that topic again in order to understand it. You’ll not only have to understand your learning pattern but even your everyday life style for example some can be involved in so many social activities and still have time for their books while others can’t,while some can read at night while others can’t.
So the best way for you to adapt and not be left behind in the university especially now in Bingham university as exams are fast approaching is to understand your learning pattern and life style pattern and adapt yourself to the pattern that best benefits you.

THE ELECTORAL FEVER: THE AFTERMATH

Every year students of Bingham university are given the opportunity to run for student representative council (src) and the same students are given the opportunity to elect those that will represent them for that session.

With politics and political ambitions comes tension and high emotional build up
Some will win and others will lose but the question here remains what is the political culture in Bingham university? Are our students vibrant when it comes to issues concerning school politics or do they practice political apathy?.

Yesterday the 24th of February 2021 the students came out in their numbers to cast their votes and although the voting started behind schedule our students persisted and stayed out as long as it took to cast their votes.
Well the votes have been counted and the results are in. We now have our student representative council for the 2020/2021 academic session and we would like to congratulate them and wish them success as they begin to work and tackle the tasks ahead of them.

We would also like to congratulate those who ran and lost because by running alone has made them winners and their efforts are deeply appreciated.

This goes to say they shouldn’t follow the footsteps of the Nigerian political scene and make promises to the people that they eventually can not fulfill.

Our new representatives should enter the office bearing in mind what they read to us in their manifesto and they should try to solve the issues that we the students have because at the end of the day it’s not just about getting into office but what you do for the people while in office.

THE PLAYERS WHO LOST A MATCH BUT RECIEVED MEDALS

The Bingham Football League (BFL) has finally come to an end. It was a thrilling football season filled with brilliant league football, fun, excitement and unexpected happenings.
Barclays FC or "Yellow Lions" as they're fondly called emerged as the champions, this was highly expected of them as they had the best squad a team could have in the BFL with P*e Dee Manning the goal & Wonderson at strike, victory was always certain.
After winning the final league match, players were expected to be awarded medals by the BFL organizing committee but that wasn't the case, apparently the cup, the medals weren't available. This was a huge shocker because the organizing committee should have been aware of putting things in place.
Anyways another match was fixed to officially award the players their medals but unfortunately Barclays FC lost the match, even though they were still given the cup and their medals.
The truth of the matter is that they played the match without effort as far as they knew they were already winners.
It was a really awkward moment seeing the team that lost the match recieve medals.

SAVINGS INITIATIVE FOR BINGHAM STUDENTS.

These days youth feel to young to save their money or invest but on the contrary money that is invested or money that gets put away in savings can turn into wealth and serve a financial back up plan for future emergencies .
According to financial expert Robert Kiyosaki “it’s not how much money you make, but how much money you keep, how hard it works for you, and how many generations you keep it for.” –
This financial expert is emphasizing the fact we should learn how to keep our money and make it work for us and the best way to make your money work for you is by investing and saving because that is money that you will not touch but keep to make work for you in the long run and serve as either an emergency fund or financial safety net.
Another financial expert Arese Ugwu in her book “Smart money woman”talks about dividing your income she says “ money budget is a way of allocating your resources.
First, divide your income into three parts:
• Long-term financial goals
• Short-term financial goals
• Living expenses
Long-term financial goals (LFG): At a minimum of twenty percent of your income, it represents a proportion set aside towards improving your net worth, i.e. buying assets that will provide you with an income. Good examples are towards purchases like land, property or a stock portfolio.
Short-term financial goals (SFG): The proportion of your income set aside for treats — a Chanel bag, an iPhone, or a luxury holiday; whatever tickles your fancy.
Living expenses: Your monthly contribution to your rent, health insurance, cable/satellite television, petrol, service charge etc.
These long term financial goals with help you in the long run and help your money grow and work for you that is why it’s we should start saving at a young age so this money can grow with us.
There are so many ways to save and invest money and that is why we are so proud of a Bingham university 300 level student named perpetua Anejo that used her innovation to create a way to help her classmates save called Pep’s savings initiative and she gave us a breakdown of what it is about:
• This savings initiative is to empower students of BHU to have something saved at the end of the year
• This savings initiative is available to only BHU students
• Save 2,000 every month and cashout 24,000 at the end of the year
• All you have to do is pay 2,000 & a due of 200 from January to October, then in November you'd pay for both that month and December which is 4,000 with a due of 400.
• If you're interested, click on this link and join the group chat to officially register as a member
• After registration you'd be provided with e account number
• After you make your monthly payments you're to provide proof (screenshot/bank statement) to PEPS SAVINGS
• You can be assured of the safety of your money and also once you pay you won't be able to retrieve your cash till the designated date at the end of the year.

• PEPS SAVINGS is a reliable brand that you can trust, so join us let's do business, let's grow together.intrested persons should reach her through this numberFollow this link to join my WhatsApp group: https://chat.whatsapp.com/H0NE3hfsEnVB8ZjEK8GCtG

This is such a smart way to get students to again financial intelligence and we encourage more students to not only participate but bring up ideas like this that will encourage students to start the smart money journeys from now.

SOME OF THE FACTORS THAT DESTROY THE LIFE OF A STUDENT.

The life of a student is one of the most beautiful life one could ever experience throughout his or her life. At that stage you either mould your life in a positive or nigative way, while some are lucky to build their life in a very wonderful way at these stage of their life some are not really lucky to do so.
Is at that stage of life that so many people are involved in some elicit act or behavior, some are in involve in drugs while some get them self involve in some kind of relationship which is not good. But I tell you most of these mistake are cursed by some factors. As a child in a Nigeria home we are most times locked up inside our house not given the freedom to express ourselves in the presence of our parent so when we make mistake we can be corrected.
So when we leave home to school we have some kind of freedom to express ourselves and at that point nobody is watching that when most make the biggest mistake of their lives. While some are still trying to find their self esteem or still trying to be bold they involve them self in some bad gang sh**t that eventually take their life or leave them miserable for life. I believe some of us have heard about the cult clash at University of Lagos on Valentine's day between the Black Axe and Buccaneers that clam the life of two student who are the members of the Black Axe group and we all know that those Black w members must seek revenge which sometimes might take months or even years.
The other characters of student killer is the wannabes, when a person look around them or their friends and see how lovely they live their lives they try all possible means to be like them which leads them to either living a fake life or having sugar daddies and mummies that will give them that life they want which most likely leads to their Doom. Thereby some meet ritualist unknownly to them and they get killed and most connect some deadly disease thereby fighting for their lives.
