Abbey's Gist

With great joy in my mind, on this 31st day of August 2017, EchoesMinds Campus Gem's officially Opens in the Name of the Most High, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Every week Echoes brings you a Gem from one of Nigeria Institutions, to inspire and motivate the youths in the country, being in the higher Institution isn't just to study to end up in an office but to create and innovate and it's now you can, you have to see beyond being an employee after life in the institution but to become an employer of labour... With God and hardwork, we hope to take Campus Gem's beyond Nigeria in the nearest future. BE AN INNOVATOR NOT THE INNOVATED....... This month we will be introducing to us four Gem's and they are : PEBZY, DERIN'S FACES, HONEY MIX and WITTY GAB... Great Nigerian Students, aren't you curious as to what this four Gem's are into respectively? Well, I want you to be curious, but there is a free 1k(one thousand naira) call card to the first person who can ...

Today we celebrate and honour every single African child, home and abroad, dead or alive, rich or poor, living in the woods, on the streets, in mansions, in refugee camps, in war Zones etc. With a broken heart, and a shivering mind, I send out my utmost wishes to every African Child who have to walk miles to school and back home daily, African child who have to hawk over 16hrs daily just to have a sip of water and a tiny loaf of bread to survive,  those who are casualties of meaningless Wars and violence, Victims of child trafficking, those who were made to watch their homes burn to Ashes, and their family destroyed. Remember we are the king of the Jungle, fear nothing and keep being strong, we were born strong, our roar will one day give us freedom. I have a dream that one day we won't have to walk miles to school daily, for education will be at our doors, a dream that one day we won't have to hawk to survive, for our parents will be employed legally, a dream that one no Afric...

What if I told you in just 10 seconds a day, you can sleep better, make more money, reduce stress, and lose weight? Sleeping naked can do all these things and more. All you have to do is take off your clothes. While there are countless strategies floating around out there to help you improve in these areas, none is as simple—and many are less effective—as stripping down before you go to sleep. Since only 8% of people sleep naked, most everyone can discover the benefits of sleeping in the buff. This may sound far-fetched, but hear me out before you throw those cozy flannel pajamas on. You Sleep Better Naked We've always known that quality sleep is good for your brain, but recent research from the University of Rochester demonstrates exactly how so. The study found that when you sleep your brain removes toxic proteins from its neurons that are by-products of neural activity when you're awake. The catch here is that your brain can only adequately remove these toxic proteins when y...

One of the most common questions asked of job search experts is, “Do I really need a cover letter?” To set the record straight, yes, a cover letter is necessary. The cover letter influences the reader’s first impression of you. It serves to sell you as a viable candidate or it knocks you out of the running.

Step 1: Analyze The Opportunity Review the job posting or information on the employer’s website. Determine the requirements of the job.

Ones a child is born, as early as age three, the child begins the adventure called Education, three years in the kindergarten/nursery school, immediately moves to the primary school where he/she spends six good years of his/her life with a lot of different subjects (as much as 16 different ones). then straight up the child moves to the secondary school (high school) where he/she spends another six years with so much subjects been enforced into the child's brain. Its of recent i just started asking myself , how did i pass through this stressful stages of my education life? when ever i see a 7 - 8 year old child going to school with a big filled bag that appears to be heavier than the child itself. 16 subjects for a seven year old child? waoooooo, please how do the teachers expect this young ones to know the sixteen subjects? well, adaptation i think it is. After spending the six years in secondary school, now he/she must face some examination bodies which will qualify the child for ...

I don't know if i am the only one pondering about the poor state of electricity in First Gate area of the Lagos State Polytechnic Ikorodu Lagos State. Well, i guess it isn't possible for me to be the only one thinking this, since i ain't the only one leaving in the vicinity, my guess is people most especially students have just decided to keep quite about it or show less or no concern since their representative body (SUG) isn't doing or saying anything about it . For those of us who are in HND (Higher National Diplomat) and had our ND (National Diplomat) here in LASPOTECH, i believe and know you would support me on this, that the state of electricity is now worst, i can't just use the tag "very worst" for the state. Two - Three years ago, electricity bill was more cheaper, and the electricity was constant, we don't have to worry about ironing clothes, charging of phones and systems, fetching of water, nor reading at night. But now, we over worry on ev...

His excellency Governor Akinwunmi Ambode graces the Lagos State Polytechnic 25th Convocation, and made it a day worth it.

You honored us and showed to us you are a Man For All and t...
