seniorboy1: The question is: what are your mid-term (I'd say 7-10 years) and long-term (I'd say 15-25 years) career goals, and how will getting involved in politics get you closer to achieving them? If you can identify a direct link between politics and your goals, then go ahead. Otherwise, forget about politics and identify other activities that are more likely to help you along your career arc faster. 1 Like |

Seniorboy, I strongly advise that you finish your academics with the highest grade you can make. It would be foolish to pass on an opportunity to be the best graduating student in the university, just for some political position that you may certainly not be remembered for. Please forget politics!!! |

seniorboy1:It's actually possible for you to drop from 4.7 to even 3.9 if care is not taken. This is what you need to do if you still desires to keep the fit as a First Class Student. Let it be politics and academics only, don't mix it with other campus activities, as a president of your depatment, some distractions that's got nothing to do with even the affairs of your office will come, you have to frankly do away with these distractions such as ladies, invitations to social events and gathering with frnds unnecessarily etc. Just make sure you balance your responsibilities as a president with your primary assignment as a student. Every other thing shld not be relevant. I can continue but no time.. In summary, plan and manage your time very well. All the best. PM me to see if i can tell some of my buddies in your school to support you. That's if you're in the same department. All the best. |

From experience, I will tell you that it will surely affect your academic studies unless you're not going to partake fully in it but that could be difficult because of the post you are aspiring for. Secondly is that, you may need to go against the school management at a point in time which will definitely affect your ambition. It's a very big decision to involve yourself in cos it is going to take a lot from you. My 2 cents. Edited I could see it is faculty and not SUG. You can do it but will still demand a lot from you. |

Bro, I'll strongly advise you go for your political ambition. BGS and all shii ends on convocation day. I'm very sure your political career in school will link you up with influential people and also build your leadership skills on the long run which is very vital for your career in Life. There are so many first class graduates out there with no jobs. Face the reality Bro, You don't need a first class degree to be successful in life although I'm not denying of it's goodness. But of course, the ball is always in your court *cheers*

seniorboy1: Bro... We are in the same shoes. Read mine.. I'm a student from the best University in Nigeria. I study History and International Studies. Am in my second 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. |
