I Okereke frederick chigozie solemnly think that I am actually in a better position to
write this article; reason being that I have
Experience this tragedy . Experience they say is the best
teacher. I disagree with this statement, as wise
people learn from other peoples experiences. This
is my personal experience and I believe if you are
wise enough you will learn from it. Without much
introduction, let me go straight to the reasons
most students fail to gain admission into higher
institutions:
1. FEAR ....Fear simply means false evidence appearing real,
fear is on the basic reason why student find it
difficult to gain admission into the higher
institution. Many a time it’s a fear of the
unknown. In the book of II Timothy 1:7, the Bible
says: for God hath not giving us the spirit of fear,
but of power, and of love, and of sound mind.
Fear will make you believe and think that you
won’t have the admission, remember we become
what we think (Proverbs 23:7). See your self in
school already and eradicate fear from your life.
2. NEGATIVE REPORT
Negative report is reporting words or statement
that contradicts what God said or is saying
concerning you. In the Holy Book in Numbers
13:1-33 when twelve spies were sent to secretly
watch the land God promised them, afterwards
Ten spies came back with negative report
whereas two came with positive report.
The two spies that came with positive report were
Joshua and Caleb, they were the only ones
among the twelve spies that got into the promise
land, although in God's original plan, all ought to
get there, but negative report interrupted that,
that's how dangerous a negative report is.
3. EXAMINATION MALPRACTICE
Examination malpractice is a menace that has
eaten deep into the Nigerian educational sector.
We all know what examination malpractice is i.e.
‘EXPO’. When you indulge in examination
malpractice, you are indirectly limiting God and
yourself. It is better to fail honourably. If God
must help you to secure admission you must
shun examination malpractice.
The First JAMB I wrote in 2014, I had 166, don’t
judge me, examination malpractice got me that, it
was my first attempt, I was naïve about the paper
type, I was given EXPO that didn’t fit my paper
type. If I had humble myself and permit God to
help I would have done better than that. 2015 I
went for tutorial, studied my text books cover to
cover but I tangled with Examination Malpractice.
2015 I obtained another form, no tutorial, studied
less and I got 185. During the examination the
supervisor suggest that anybody with EXPO
should use but we must not make noise, thank
God I didn’t, when I contacted the guys I wrote
the examination in the same hall with, they failed
woefully.
4. NEGATIVE MOTIVE FOR SCHOOLING
Your motive defines you, is the driving force that
keeps you moving. Motive can either be negative
or positive. If your motive for schooling is
negative e.g. taking school as a free-zone for all
sorts of ungodly stuff—drinking, smoking,
intimate affair, exploit your parents, dating,
clubbing/parting, cult activities.
With such motive for schooling, God may deny
you the admission even do you deserve it, reason
being that it will lead to untimely death which is
not the plan of God for you. Having positive
motive for schooling such as wanting to study
hard, involve in campus fellowship, be of good
conduct etc., with such motive God will catalyst
your admission.
5. LACK OF PREPARATION
Proper preparation prevents poor performance, if
you fail to plan, you plan to fail. God is a God of
speed not a God of rush. When preparing for
external examination such as JAMB, WAEC,
NECE, POST UTME etc, the secret to success is
proper preparation. Read hard like you don’t pray,
pray earnestly like you don’t read.
The best ways to prepare for external
examination is by using their syllabus and pass
questions, don’t forget to consult your
recommended textbooks for the particular
examination.
6. G-FACTOR
G-factor simply means God factor. This is the
last but not the least point. I consider this point
as the most powerful of all, because God is the
most powerful. The scripture in Matthew 6:33
says ‘But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and
his righteousness; and all these things shall be
added unto you’, ‘all these things’ could be the
almighty admission you desire. For you to get ‘all
these things’ you must seek God first.
Is there anything too hard for God to do,
absolutely NO! With men it may be impossible but
with God all things are possible. For God to help
you, you need to have an intimate relationship
with Him by giving your life to Him. If you give
God your life, He will take care of you.
