RE: Sam’s Hangout #110 - “HARDSHIP IN TERTIARY INSTITUTIONS”
Imagine a student who is going for lectures with an empty stomach and has no plan for what to eat, a student who hasn't payed his departmental fee talk less of school fees or his course handouts, I have not even talked about data or transport fare or even money they didn't budget for. Trust me, all these will have effect on any student and it will definitely slow such student down academically. They said it's the strength of the inside that we use to carry the strength of the outside. If any student is in that position I mentioned, I'm sure their minds won't be on book, they will definitely be calculating how to survive. What I know is that if some basic needs are not accessible to students, they will be affected and might have equally fall apart.
And on the side gig question, that is not new because I know a lot of students back then and even now doing that..I have a lot of them on my WhatsApp selling one or two which is absolutely good especially in this economy that we find ourselves. So for the latter, I'll say they should not be discouraged, in fact, if any student have the ability and can carry on with the two without one stopping eachother, they should because at the end of the day, the job outside now is by who Sabi person, and the earlier they handle their side gigs well, the better. My small two percent on this.
This is way more than two cents... This is 50 Cent 😁😁😁..

This is more than two cents bro. This is a hundred cent hahaha. Your first paragraph got me. An empty stomach won’t be able to stomach anything in class… side gig is definitely a way but then a whole lot is attached to it, especially for someone who wants to achieve the best as a student…
Brr, I remember one time like that. I went for a morning lecture, 7am, that was supposed to be the only lecture for that day. The man said 7-10, Omo, after 4, we still dey there oo. I lost concentration at some point. Now imagine some student in the situation for days, throughout the semester ooo, na just one time experience I felt that way. That is why back then, if any student or coursemate, or hotel mate come to me for one or two, I give the little I have cos I know what it means to be in that position.
Yeah, it's a whole lot, that is why I said they must learn to balance it so one won't affect the other
