Idoma Boy Bags First Class After 17 Carryovers by bankybobo11: 5:23pm On Feb 26, 2016 |
The story of Agbo Odeh Hillary is the story of time
and chance, Hilary was born on the 23rd
December, 1985 in Otukpo Local government of
Benue State.
He had his secondary education in LEA Primary
School Otukpo and the proceeded Federal
Government College, Otobi where he graduated in
2003. He thereafter applied for remedial studies at
the Benue State University in 2005 for a pre-degree
program with intention to study Medicine.
According to him, he worked extremely hard and
was one of the best in the Remedial Studies of that
year but in a twist of fate, Medicine was offered to
only 2 Remedial Students of Tiv extraction while he
was offered admission to study Physics instead of
Medicine and Surgery. In frustration, he took he
took the bait and settled with the Physics he was
offered with little interest in the course.
IDOMA VOICE learnt that determined Hillary
struggled with the course due to lack of interest. It
wasn’t surprising at all that Hillary could not cope
with studies as frustration and depression set in in
his academic pursuit.
Hilary was at his lowest ebb in in his final year
when his 300 level result was published. Bravo! He
was at the bottom of his class crawling with
Seventeen (17) carryovers, albeit he was placed on
probation by the school authority. Hilary became
the subject of mockery in the school among his
colleagues. Like the four men with leprosy in 2
Kings 7 at the entrance of the city gate who said to
each other, "Why stay here until we die? Hilary
came to a decision point, why stay here and be
withdrawn? He told himself the hard truth, it was
time to move forward regardless the storms.
Undaunted, the young Hilary said he was led of
God to pick a new JAMB form. Motivated by his
desire to study Medicine which was practically
impossible to get, he applied for Psychology which
also had something to do with human beings. By
the second Semester in his 400 level, the JAMB
admission was out and he was admitted to study
Psychology hence, he withdrew himself from
Physics Department and started a fresh academic
journey in the department of Psychology.
It is said that adversity builds character, but it is
also said that adversity reveals character. It is
pleasantly not surprising that Hilary’s story is that
of the grace of God at work and sheer resilience.
He persevered, and not just blindly. He took the
best of his life and got rid of the worst part of his
life, and moved on, realizing that he could make a
choice to take the good. The young Hilary took the
story of frustration and turned it into the best
orchestral in the history of Benue State University.
The young resilient Idoma boy from Ohimini, the
worst student in Physics, with 17 carryovers to his
name will subsequently graduate from the same
University from the Psychology Department with a
First Class Degree with a CGPA of 4.57. His
outstanding performance broke many records in
the University; the first “First Class” result in the
Department of Psychology since inception of the
University in 1992. He also became the overall
best graduating student of the 14th & 15th
combined convocation of BSU held on 17th
January 2015. His exploit came with several
rewards, he bagged seven academic awards
including the Tony and Awele Elumelu price for
excellence.
When asked what was responsible for his rare
achievement, Hilary attributed it to God. According
to him, he has a photographic memory with
capacity to retain and reproduce anything he takes
in. He also said that there was a time in School
that he had to read for 15 hours at a stretch.
Hillary love to read and engage in creative thinking.
He dreams of becoming a professor of clinical
psychology and a preacher of God's Word. |

WHAT ARE INDEPENDENT AND DEPENDENT VARIABLES? Question: What's a variable? Answer: A variable is an object, event, idea, feeling, time period, or any other type of category you are trying to measure. There are two types of variables-independent and dependent. Question: What's an independent variable? Answer: An independent variable is exactly what it sounds like. It is a variable that stands alone and isn't changed by the other variables you are trying to measure. For example, someone's age might be an independent variable. Other factors (such as what they eat, how much they go to school, how much television they watch) aren't going to change a person's age. In fact, when you are looking for some kind of relationship between variables you are trying to see if the independent variable causes some kind of change in the other variables, or dependent variables. Question: What's a dependent variable? Answer: Just like an independent variable, a dependent exactly what it sounds like. It is something that depends on other factors. For exam test score could be a dependent because it could change depending on factors such as how much you stu much sleep you got the night before you test, or even how hungr you were when you took it. Usually when you are looking for a relationship between two thin |

ugonna1054: Lol. I would have joined you to shout: Ojoro! Nevertheless, what's the relationship between medicine and psychology? |
