So guys, there's this dude that broke up with his babe because of poor academic performance.
In his words: "I once broke up with someone because she was failing miserably in school. How can you be on a 1.5 CGPA? Can’t be my babe, please. I deserve better. 🙏🏽
"She wasn’t making any genuine effort to improve her grades. I’m forgiving of failure, but the deal breaker is your attitude towards it. You have to at least be trying to improve your chances of success.”
Some reactions to his action:
commented: “Lmfaooo this is valid please 😭”
asked, “You go manage 2.0?”
replied, “Wahala for those who don’t know book 😭”
said: “Valid tbh, imagine your kids inherit her brain.”
What's your own take?

Former NMU Deputy Chief Cadet Captain Asiwa David Onyeka Earns Erasmus Mundus Scholarship for Master's in Europe
Asiwa David Onyeka, a graduate of Nigeria Maritime University (NMU) and former Deputy Chief Cadet Captain, has achieved a significant milestone by securing the highly esteemed European Union Erasmus Mundus Scholarship. This prestigious award will allow him to pursue a Master of Science in Marine Biological Resources (IMBRSea) at top European universities.
Onyeka, who graduated from NMU’s Department of Environmental Management and Pollution, will be studying at Ghent University in Belgium, University of Oviedo in Spain, and Gothenburg University in Sweden over the next two years. The Erasmus Mundus Scholarship, known for its competitive selection process, also provides financial support, meaning Onyeka will be paid while studying.
Reflecting on this achievement, Onyeka shared,
“I graduated from the Department of Environmental Management and Pollution and have been blessed to win the prestigious Erasmus Mundus Scholarship. I’ll be studying in the International Master of Science in Marine Biological Resources (IMBRSea) program at several European universities, including Ghent University (Belgium), University of Oviedo (Spain), and Gothenburg University (Sweden)."
Currently based in Belgium, Onyeka offered words of advice to current NMU students, encouraging them to remain focused on their academics and trust the process:
“To those still in school, just make sure you finish well with a good grade. It will be less tedious from there on. There are a lot of intelligent people I’ve come across while in NMU, but the nature of your environment may hinder you, let you go into bad things because of fear of the future, and make you settle for less. Don’t let it define you. Trust God and trust the process. God has always been by your side.
Ps: I’m furthering my education and being paid to study."
Onyeka's achievement not only highlights his perseverance and hard work but also serves as a powerful reminder of the opportunities available to NMU graduates. His journey underscores the importance of academic excellence and resilience, despite environmental challenges.
With the Erasmus Mundus Scholarship, Onyeka joins an elite group of international scholars committed to advancing marine biological resource research. His success is expected to inspire many NMU students to aim for similar achievements abroad.

As we celebrate the remarkable achievement of Kenny Bankejesu,
His story is a powerful reminder that success is not a matter of waiting for opportunities to come your way, but about creating those opportunities through hard work, innovation, and perseverance. Kenny didn’t wait for doors to open; he worked tirelessly, stood out among his peers, and carved his own path. You have the same potential within you.
To the Graduates and Cadets of Nigeria Maritime University, let this be a call to action:
- Seize every moment to learn, to grow, and to push your boundaries.
- Be proactive in seeking out knowledge, developing your skills, and putting your ideas into action.
- Innovate and be bold enough to present your work to the world.
The world is full of possibilities, and just like Kenny, you too can rise to great heights. Don't wait for opportunities—create them. Your hard work today is the foundation for the achievements of tomorrow. Go out there and make your mark!
The entire NMU community is rooting for you, and I look forward to seeing more stories of success like Kenny’s.❤️

Remember the Kodak company? In 1997, Kodak had about 160,000 employees.
And about 85% of the world's photography was done with Kodak cameras. With the rise of mobile cameras over the past few years, Kodak Camera Company is out of the market. Even Kodak went completely bankrupt and all his employees were fired.
At the same time many more famous companies had to stop themselves. Like
HMT (clock)
BAJAJ (स्कूटर)
DYANORA (TV)
MURPHY (RADIO)
NOKIA (Mobile)
RAJDOOT (Bike)
Ambassador (car)
None of the above companies had bad quality. Why are these companies out yet? Because they could not change themselves over time.
Standing in the present moment you probably don't think how much the world could change in the next 10 years! And today's 70%-90% jobs will be completely over in the next 10 years. We are slowly entering the era of "Fourth Industrial Revolution".
Check out today's famous companies-
UBER is just a software name. No, they have no cars of their own. Yet today the world's largest taxi-fair company is UBER.
Airbnb is the largest hotel company in the world today. But funny thing is they don't own a single hotel in the world.
Similarly, examples of countless companies like Paytm, Ola Cab, Oyo rooms etc can be given.
There is no work for new lawyers in America today, because a legal software called IBM Watson can advocate much better than any new lawyer. Thus, almost 90% of Americans will not have any jobs in the next 10 years. The remaining 10% will be saved. These will be 10% experts.
The new doctor is also sitting down to work. Watson software can detect cancer and other diseases 4 times more accurately than humans. Computer intelligence will surpass human intelligence by 2030.
90% of today's cars will not be seen on the roads in the next 20 years. Leftover cars will either run by electricity or hybrid cars. The roads will slowly become empty. Gasoline consumption will decrease and oil producing Arab countries will slowly become bankrupt.
If you want a car you have to ask for a car from a software like Uber. And as soon as you ask for a car, a completely driverless car will come and park in front of your door. If you travel with several people in the same car, the rent of a car per person will be less than a bike.
Driving without driver will reduce the number of accidents by 99%. And this is why car insurance will stop and car insurance companies will be out.
Things like driving on earth will no longer survive. Traffic police and parking staff won't be required when 90% of vehicles disappear from the road.
Just think, there used to be STD booths in the streets even 10 years ago. All these STD booths were forced to close after the mobile revolution came in the country. Those who survived have become mobile recharge shops. Again online revolution in mobile recharge. People started recharging their mobile online sitting at home. Had to replace these recharge shops again. Now these are just mobile phones to buy and sell and repair shops. But this will also change very soon. Mobile phone sales are increasing directly from Amazon, Flipkart.
The definition of money is also changing. There used to be cash but in today's age it has become "plastic money". Credit card and debit card round was a few days ago. Now that too is changing and the era of mobile wallet is coming. Growing market of Paytm, one click of mobile money.
Those who cannot change with age, age removes them from the earth. So keep changing with the times.
Keep creating great content, keep moving with time.
