The heading is the word of a part one student of Obafemi  Awolowo University  to me one glorious afternoon when I asked him  why he did not enter the class for lecture,when  we met at ODLT lecture theatre. One of the major academic disasters of Obafemi Awolowo University is lack of  conducive  environment for learning, as the school is named great Ife but I repetitively question my self if the school is truly great. While waiting for a lecture at   ODLT lobby, myself and my friends were seated chatting, something sardonic just caught my attention and that was the discomfort position of some part one students while receiving lectures.                                                                    s These student were seen standing up to receive lectures, in fact, the lecture hal...

Olamide  Adedeji AKA Baddo is an artiste you will always admire his work ethics. The YBNL boss has worked damn hard  to finally get to this point in his career and has put in even more work to sustain the momentum. You’ll already know there are no dull moments with the Bariga breed rapper.  Olamide  Never Sleeps! On a personal level, he has achieved much; he has won a lot for himself in less than a decade.

How many more students would die because of poor welfarism?   How many more candle-light processions would we hold? Many a students, especially those whose relatives are alumni of this institution must have been baptised with sweet tales of Great Ife. The unequalled & unparalleled infrastructures, academic excellence & strides recognised within the national & international community. Those (alumni) who witnessed the paradisic era on this campus can testify to the great welfarism of students & the inexpensive cost of schooling. A lot have even talked about the issuance of meal tickets to students at the beginning of semesters which runs till the semester ends, in which students are being served with nourishing & nutritious meals(with chicken) at various cafes in different halls of residence. (I am very surprised; a lot of students don't even know the initial use of their adopted reading hall). Ranging from the conducive, habitable & non-congest...

   Education is believed to be one of the major tools to liberate us from ignorance, and unwitting mental, psychological, and emotional contingencies. Otherwise, it has been observed that in a bid to acquire education, most tertiary institution students have become victims of what this should have done to them due to poor stress management. Stress has been defined as a negative emotional, cognitive, behavioral and psychological process that occurs as someone tries to adjust to deal with tensions and pressures. It is no news in tertiary institutions that stress has been associated with academics as ‘a mental distress with respect to some anticipated frustrations which result in academics  failure or even unawareness of the possibility of that failure’. The etiology and pathogenesis of stress is complex and multifactorial, and varies across environments. Among university students for instance, Perceived stress may take the form of academic stress with multiple triggeri...
