A businessman once bought a massive diamond in South Africa, about the size of an egg yolk.
But to his disappointment, the stone had a crack inside.
He took it to a skilled jeweler, hoping for advice.
The jeweler examined it carefully and said:
“This diamond can be split into two perfect gems, each worth more than the original stone. But one wrong strike and it will shatter into worthless fragments. I won’t take that risk.”
The businessman traveled the world, showing the diamond to jewelers in many countries.
Each one gave the same answer: "Too risky".
Finally, someone told him about an old master jeweler in Amsterdam known for his golden hands.
He flew there the same day.
The old jeweler studied the diamond through his monocle and warned him again of the risk.
The businessman interrupted:
“I’ve heard that story before. I’m ready. Just do it.”
The jeweler nodded, agreed on the price, then turned to a young apprentice working quietly nearby.
The boy took the diamond, placed it on his palm, and struck it once, clean and precise.
The stone split beautifully into two flawless gems.
Without even looking up, he handed them back to the master.
Astonished, the businessman asked:
“How long has he been working for you?”
The old jeweler smiled.
“This is his third day. He doesn’t know the real value of the stone, that’s why his hand didn’t tremble.”
Sometimes the more we fear losing something, the less capable we become of doing what needs to be done.
Treat life’s challenges as if they are lighter than they seem, and your hand will stay steady.

In my 100lvl, I scored 33/30 in MAT111😅
I had 20/20 in test and 8/10 for attendance. The lecturer once held a 7am class and gave 5 marks to all attendees.
So, 20 + 8 + 5 = 33.
The result was pasted publicly, everyone started calling me 33/30 till I graduated 😂
I failed a course because I wasn’t available for the field trip while I was winning a gold medal for FUTA at the Nigeria University Games in 2013.
The professor said he got the exemption letter from the senate, but he didn’t care because his class was ‘more important’.

158 of Nigeria's 298 universities are privately owned. They’re wildly unevenly spread: in the South‑West (52), South‑South (25), South‑East (23), and North‑Central (36). Meanwhile, the North‑East has only 19 and the North‑West just 5.
At independence in 1960, Nigeria had only two universities: one still tied to the UK (the University College, Ibadan now the University of Ibadan), and one just opened (the University of Nigeria Nsukka).
Until the 1950s, some African colonies had fewer than five secondary schools for entire countries — and university education was almost non-existent. Colonial powers feared educating Africans would ‘disrupt control’.

Teacher: It’s all part of the curriculum vitae, my dear. Now, let’s grade-ually move you from confusion to clarity.
Student: I’m really struggling with this subject, ma’am. I feel like I’m failing forward.
Teacher: Don’t worry, learning is all about trial and erudition. Let’s chalk it up to experience.
Student: But every time I think I get it, a new topic pops quiz out of nowhere!
Teacher: That’s just your brain doing some mental gymnastics. Remember, even Einstein had class struggles.
Student: I’m trying, but the more I read, the more I sentence myself to confusion.
Teacher: Then it’s time we underline what matters, highlight your strengths, and
