King Nebuchadnezzar of the Babylon in one of his conversations on education with his Chief of Staff gave us a clue on how prepared a higher institution prospective student should be. He said, “young [people] without any PHYSICAL DEFECT... SHOWING APTITUDE for every KIND OF LEARNING, well INFORMED, quick to UNDERSTAND, and QUALIFIED to SERVE in king’s palace.” (Source: Holy Bible: Book of Daniel1:4) In order to know if you are ready for higher institution and if you will achieve the very best both academically and educationally, you must follow king Nebuchadnezzar's views on that aspects. PHYSICAL DEFECT: how is your health? The very first thing the king talked about is health. By physical defect don’t think it is all about disability. Health statistics shows that every human being is disabling either physically or mentally/psychologically. We are all the same only that the conditions of some are better than the other. In academic world, physical health challenges are

With the increased rate of high school best brained dropouts, we at Life Pyramids Orientation Centre felt there is a need for urgent solution-action in whatever capacity within the reach of any educational minded person in the world to prevent the following: School system from losing its respect completely; Cultural values and morality from being lost; Children and youths from becoming 'too carefree' in their ways, and The world from becoming un-organised when being controlled by unconstitutionalised minds (who are the school children of the present generation. We know that school system deserves more respect from the member of society than it's getting in at present for its profound impact in history; we can also see the little slackness in inculcating our cultural values and morality into the incoming generations in form of disrespect to individual, established authority and institutions and societal laws - and that is probably one of the explicit i

WHAT IS THINKING? Thinking is like digging down into the ground to see the different layers of it. It is a way of turning a stream of knowledge to an ocean of knowledge. It is a way of multiplying or increasing knowledge. It is also a way of polishing knowledge. It is also a way of breaking down knowledge. It is like when you are breaking a big stone to many pieces of stone. It is also a way of putting different pieces of knowledge in their right places or putting many different pieces of knowledge of the same relation together through selection. HOW DO I DO THINKING Jesus Christ gives us a clear description of how thinking goes. Bible describes Jesus as the word of God that became flesh, that is, human being. Therefore, that gives the idea that Jesus Christ is a word of God to humanity to think about and to focus on. So when Jesus talks about how thinking should be done, He says, “…unless you EAT the FLESH of the son of man…you have no life in you.” This is a great analogy a

WHAT IS INTELLIGENT QUOTIENT ACCELERATOR? If intelligence means the activity or working of the brain to perceive and intelligent quotient means the speed at which the brain works in perceiving, then intelligent quotient accelerator means something that increases that speed from certain level of perceiving to higher level of perceiving. Some facts you should know about knowledge in relation to intelligence include the fact that it is knowledge which determines intelligence due to its (knowledge’s) diversity. Diversity in this context refers to the fact that different kind of activities requires their different individual knowledge. For instance, there are different kinds of knowledge for different sport activities; there is another one for different scientific workings; there is another one for cooking, etc. for as many activities you can mention, each has its own knowledge. Now the kind of activity or profession or subject that fits a person's natural endeavor or that in

WHAT IS INTELLIGENCE? Intelligence is a term given to describe the ACTIVITY of the BRAIN or MIND. It is your mental (brain or mind) power to acquire or perceive something. This, therefore, simply means that anyone who has brain within their skull is intelligent, if we must use the term intelligent. In simple term, intelligence is a process of acquiring knowledge or information from any source of knowledge. For instance, if you are reading a book or you are studying your environment and your brain or mind is acquiring information in the book or in the environment, that interaction between your brain and the book or environment is called INTELLIGENCE. Intelligence means the power or ability of the brain or mind to perceive (or to sense, to acquire, to discern, to notice, etc.) something; something which is then called 'knowledge'. Once you have brain, even a 'small quantity' of it, and it's still working (that is, you are still alive) you are intelligent. Tho

We have probably heard of many personalities, young and old, within and outside our individual country, who have done and are still doing great things that have changed the world to better and redirected people’s ways of thinking and living; people such as Jesus Christ, Muhammad, Andrew Carnegie, Nelson Mandela, Wole Soyinka, Aliko Dangote, Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Martin Luther King Jr., Mohandas Gandhi, Mother Teresa, Margaret Thatcher, Pele, E. A. Adeboye, Muhammad Ali, Michael Jordan, Mark zuck, Barack Obama, Malala Yousafzai, Akerele S. Bamijoko, Leke Alder, Albert Einstein, Don Moen, etc. their number is limitless. Looking through this list, whatever names you are able to identify or that you can categorize as one of them are not there because of their later status (wealthy and rich), the only thing that qualifies any of them in that list is no other thing than their KNOWLEDGEABILITY. There are many rich and powerful people in the world whose names are not qualified to be in

One of the major reasons why most students finished high school or high institution unqualified is due to their lack of essence of being in that particular level of formal education - be it secondary school or tertiary institution. H. B. Drake once said, “The student is like a traveler; but before a man can travel with enjoyment and profit he needs both preparation and experience. First he must understand the language of the people among whom he is to travel. Second, if he is wise, he must on arriving, find a reliable guide who can point out to him the chief features of distinction and interest. After this he will be equipped to wander by himself and make his discoveries otherwise he will be bewildered and go astray.” When you know your needs and where they are, you will be willing to use whatever necessary to get them and acquire them. So it is in terms of knowledge acquisition; if our students know what is most important to achieve at a certain level of education, they can work

Issue of school in regards to its meaning is one of the modern topic amongst educationists. While school is described in a layman term just as a place of learning; it is professionally described as an organized environment for formal education – which means education that follows certain processes. And the features of school, as it is being often mentioned, include: school authority and staff, classrooms, laboratories and libraries, textbooks and lesson notes, students, tables and chairs, various buildings and offices, ink or chalk boards and other materials of instruction. But school, in the real sense, is more than all that have been mentioned as the major features; my description of school is simply a place of getting additional knowledge to one's own natural knowledge. Therefore, the real features of a school is everything and anything that contributes to the growth of one's knowledge, causes the expansion of one's mind, increases one's intelligence quotient,

An extract from The Radical Road Map for Undergraduates. Another reason for writing this book is as a result of most students and parents’ perspective of education. Some people don’t know what education really is, and knowing education is the genesis of how to be educated, and the lack of this understanding has indeed rendered most of our students and graduates unemployable. It is no doubt that majority of graduates today are UNEDUCATED LITERATE. This is because literacy is not education and education is not literacy… Somewhere back in this note, I say, job standard does not change, though what we have in our society seems to prove otherwise because jobs opportunity keeps asking for standard and quality education. The fact that jobs are demanding for standard and quality education does not mean job standard has increased. This we need to understand: job standard is never built on academic level, but on educational capacity. Some might say, “But we have graduates with educati

I have heard of many agitations that say one doesn't really need education to make it in life; while I don't argue with this view, I also say that talent is never enough just as John C. Maxwell has rightly made clear in his book 'Talent is Never Enough' because I know that those agitators are implicitly saying that talent is all that's needed. But let me say this to you that whether education or talent, it's all depend on the level you want to reach in your society. Talent is never enough, neither is education enough because, in the real sense, both have the same capacity to help individuals reach the same level in isolation. This means that talent without education can only take you as far as education can take you without talent. This, therefore, indicates that to make it to the highest level of any society one needs both education and talent together.
