No one is ready, Not even the Smartest Student – Zion Edo

-
In relations to the forthcoming exams of the Olabisi Onabanjo University which is set to commence next week, students from across the faculty expresses their complaints and displeasure towards the sudden change in the institution’s calendar towards the commencement of the exams and the shortness of the semester so far.

In an interview with one Odeniyi Kehinde Esther, a 300level from the department of Corporative management and rural development, she described the forthcoming exams as a dream considering the fact that the expectations of students in general was that, the exams would commence next month till it was announced recently that it would be this month.

She described her readiness for the forthcoming exams to be 40% considering the fact that the semester has been a really busy one all through. Specifically, for her.

“This semester has been off. Some lectures will tell you they’re done with the course outline and out of shock, you are like, how? When? The semester has been quite jam-packed” she added.

In a further interview with a 300 level music student, Kolawole Isaac Opeyemi who also added that the exam came quicker than he had expected.

He stated “for me, this exam is actually more like an impromptu exam, coming quicker than I had expected. Considering the fact that it’s quite impromptu, it might affect many students as they may not be fully prepared, like me . I am studying a course that has a lot to do with practicals and theory. I need more time for my practical exams and more time for my theory exams. Looking at the calendar,it’s short and there isn’t much time for practice.”

Quite a number of students expressed their unreadiness towards the forthcoming exams.

Not only has the students been complaining about the shortness of the semester but also the fact that a good amount of the semester was spent having online classes which unfortunately declined student’s motivation to study.

A 200 level economics education student, Zion Edo expresses her predicament considering the fact that she only resumed two weeks ago and now, exams are around the corner.

” This exam is quite fast and unexpected. Nobody is ready, not even the smartest student. Funny how I resumed two weeks ago only to hear that exams is only about less than one week. I won’t lie, I’m not prepared at all for this exam.”

My Journey into Content Creation: The Story Behind My Signature Look 1

  Lately, I’ve been getting a lot of questions about my style—specifically, why I always wear native caps, even with English outfits. My response? Simple. It’s a signature, a concept, my personal brand. But beyond the cap, my journey into content creation started about four to five years ago when I was in SS1. Even before I fully understood why, I had a deep desire to learn digital skills. Sometimes, it was just curiosity. Other times, it was about filling my time with something productive. The Spark That Ignited It All I can never forget my JSS3 days. Our ICT teacher, Mr. Opoola, introduced us to coding. He taught us Scratch and a little bit of Python. I remember spending hours experimenting—creating games, animations, and whatever my mind could come up with. This was when I first dreamed of owning an animation studio, a vision I named Dream Land Animations . By the following year, I had moved on to Photoshop. I didn’t know much about it at first, but that didn’t stop me. I wo...
