A STUDENT! What else?

A STUDENT! What else?

By Olympus Ade-Banjo

At 13, he enrolled in the Lakeside School, a private preparatory school.
When he was in the eighth grade, the Mothers' Club at the school used proceeds from Lakeside School's rummage sale to buy a Teletype Model 33 ASR terminal and a block of computer time on a General Electric (GE) computer for the school's students.
Gates took an interest in programming the GE system in BASIC, and was excused from math classes to pursue his interest. He wrote his first computer program on this machine: an implementation of tic-tac-toe that allowed users to play games against the computer. Gates was fascinated by the machine and how it would always execute software code perfectly.
After the Mothers Club donation was exhausted, he and other students sought time on systems including DEC PDP minicomputers. One of these systems was a PDP-10 belonging to Computer Center Corporation (CCC), which banned four Lakeside students
-Gates,
-Paul Allen
-Ric Weiland,
and Kent Evans – for the summer after it caught them exploiting bugs in the operating system to obtain free computer time.

At the end of the ban, the four students offered to find bugs in CCC's software in exchange for extra computer time. Rather than use the system via  Teletype.

The following year, Information Sciences, Inc. hired the four Lakeside students to write a payroll program in COBOL, providing them computer time and royalties.

That's the Success Story Of Four of the Most Successful People In The World.

What will be written about your Life that Started since being a student. Let me help you; You waited for the Monthly allowance, You dressed to-kill, You knew the latest dance, You were able to Cram your grade up, spend the whole day waiting for a lecture that won't hold.

 My Advice : The Society is not waiting for the next liability who'll be carrying paper around, Nigeria needs the Emergence Of Mature and Liberated minds and if this does not HAPPEN ON CAMPUS, you are just another wasted Investment Who WILL GO BACK AFTER Bsc TO WASH THE PLATES YOU LEFT BEFORE LIVING FOR SCHOOL!

THE NIGERIAN CAMPUS IS THE MODERN SLAVE CAMP, LIBERATE YOUR MIND.*- You Deserve It

The Tale of my Path

By:  Omole Tabel T. The Tale of my Path. I thought of dropping several things, seeing an ant turn enormous right before me. Becoming unbearable is the word that leaves our mouths. Getting to an end is certain, how to pass is blot. I see the path I was to tread so obscure, All in my thought; I just need to focus and I will be there. To my surprise, the wing of an elephant can not make it fly. Yet, still in my state of dry rain, I drop everything in my hands to embrace the shadow that never comes to my grip. All in the name of one thing. Despite the journey filled with thorns, The slogan remains; Never Give Up All in the name of one thing. At last my journey has come to a bay the best complain, the average prate " the journey is for the strong and the mighty" all in the name of one thing. Whenever you are met, the questions you are asked, and how people relate with you on surface is based on this one thing. *And for you, not to fail though it may

STUDENT RIGHTS ABUSE Article by: Bajela Oluwadamilare. Student Rights  are those rights, such as civil, constitutional, contractual and consumer rights, which regulate students rights and freedoms and allow students to make use of their educational investment. These include such things as the right to free speech and association, to due process, equality, autonomy, safety and privacy, among others. However, it is unthinkable that these rights which are supposed to be the priorities of teachers, lecturers, school management and government are being despised, disregarded, vilified unjustly and in other words, abused.  I see it a matter of necessity to look into this key aspect of the Nigerian Educational System as it is an important factor which undermines the  attitude-to-education  of students nationwide. Research has it that many institutions worldwide engage in Student Rights Abuse but more emphasis will be made on our dear country. Efforts have therefore b
