| Campus Politcs Or Self Development? by Crispels(m): 8:08am On May 30, 2016 |
Am a student from the best University in the South East. I study History and International Studies. Am in my third year. Presently, am faced with a puzzle. Firstly, am a student politician/unionist/leader. I currently serve as the General Secretary of my Faculty. A position I took as the youngest in the History of my institution. Based on my track records, leadership qualities and innovative ideas, the Students' populace are urging me to test the waters of Students' Union leadership. However, am contemplating pulling out of Campus politics so as to explore other opportunities as an undergraduate. These opportunities includes - Taostmaters international programmes and certificates, debates, conferences, lectures etc. For instance, I will be a delegate at an upcoming United Nations programme. Am a decent 2'1 student, and I thirst to study harder to increase my CGPA that has dwindled as a result of my participation in campus politics. Campus politics consumes lots of money, time and energy. And even when you emerge, it brings about more stress and problems to face. In terms of money, am okay, I lack no basic needs as am not even into campus politics for money but for the life lessons one learns from it. In terms of connection, am closer to my VC than even some SUG representatives as he loves the ideas I bring on board. In summary, I want to focus more on my studies and seal my 2'1. I also want to explore other aspects of international opportunities like Toastmasters international, UN models, conferences, debates , improved scholarship et al. More so, I already received a certificate of honour from the University authorities for my leadership qualities and contributions. However, I believe am a born leader, filled with ideas and I evidently can serve the Student populace the best way possible. I see myself as a missing link. What is neeeded. I can't combine the two, one has to step down for the other. I plan to proceed to the United States for my postgraduate after my degree in Nigeria. Your advice? This happens to be the biggest decision of my life. |

Decide what you want to do and commit yourself to it. Where do you see yourself in the future? The long-term rewards of campus politics are negligible. The dynamics of real politics in Nigeria is not contingent of how much experience you have gained from campus politics. Focus on gaining exposure and academic experience while as an undergrad. Expand your network and skill-set. Work towards getting a high CGPA so you can get some scholarship to future your education |
