5 Tips for Major Examinations  Icon Omolayo    The exam is around the corner, and there's a lot to cover with such limited time. The speed of the semester is enough to make one lose motivation to try reading at all. Regardless of all these reasons, you need to come out with a good grade. Here are some simple but pivotal tips to aid your examination experience.    (1) Have a good meal. A popular Yoruba adage goes thus: "Okun inú la fín gbé tìta". It means the strength from within is what we use to carry the outside one. You need to eat healthy, not heavy. Healthy food is not in the quantity but in quality.  Also, get a good night's sleep before the examination. It isn't determined by the length either but by the quality of your rested mind.   (2) Find a reading style that works for you. You could be someone who studies well with a group or who works well alone. You might be a morning reader or a night reader. Don't enforce another person's readi

FAJ Boys and the "Stream of Life" Icon Elvis    Over the years, poor water supply has become no strange event in the course of the students' residency in the Adekunle Fajuyu Hall of Residence.   Fajuyians, as it is expected of a premordial man, have invented several coping mechanisms to survive this lack of one of the elements of living. From coping with the usage of dirty and visibly unsafe water for bathing and even cooking, to painfully spending their upkeep money on the age of sachet water.

WHAT TOUGH LOVE IS/IS NOT Icon Mofe  The concept of tough love is a quite sensitive one. Some say it's a necessary evil, some say it's beneficial to those on the receiving end. Others claim it's more harmful than good and should be made away with, anyway. This is because too often, many use it as a justification for abuse.  Let us first establish what tough love is not. Tough love will never belittle you, devalue you or demean you. Emotional abuse will. It can be as subtle as a husband telling his wife, "Look at you, see how fat you are, see your big tummy. If you continue like this, I will just run away. You're so shapeless."  This right here is not what tough love is about and it's not honesty either. It is rude, evil and hurtful. If such a person has no tactful way of saying harsh truths, that is a flaw in their communication skills and not an asset.  Another illustration is found in parent-child relations. Take a family where the child perf

Opinion: How You Can Enjoy Playing Football Locally    Icon Bisola As a lover of sports like myself, though, I love to play more football than watch it.

Another fact is that you don't have to be muscular or athletic to join a football team in our area. We don't need to go international first because we can be local champions in our areas while enjoying ourselves and being healthy.   How to enjoy the game:    1. Get fit enough; you don't have to be muscular or thoroughly fit. Just be fit  2. Get a jersey; it can be from any football club you love or not. 3. Buy or borrow a football; it doesn't have to be big like a baby's or too expensive. 4. Start with friends: drag out your stubborn friends and make them play with you. 5. Get affordable kits and boots. 6. Play with power a

Nigeria not living up to ‘giant of Africa’ status – Obasanjo  Icon Theophilus  Former President of Nigeria, Olusegun Obasanjo has said that the country is not living up to its ‘giant of Africa' status as it claims to be. Obasanjo stated this on Thursday at a book launch for Premium Times' editor-in-chief, Musikilu Mojeed whose new book is titled ‘The Letterman.' The former president told Nigerians to hold themselves responsible for their problems and not God. The book focuses on letters written by Obasanjo. According to him, when Nigeria gained independence, the expectation was for the nation to be known as “a giant in the sun” and not the “giant of Africa” as it is being referred to now. Obasanjo said, “When Nigeria became independent, it was a giant in the sun. That was the expectation. Not a giant even in Africa. A giant in the sun. That was the expectation of the world about Nigeria. “Have we lived up to it? No. If we haven’t, why haven’t we? I think we pro
