  • You must be 18+ to view this content
  • Before NYSC

    1. Get your statement of results
    2. Request your academic transcript or download the one on your portal and merge it into a PDF.
    3. Request for proof of English as the language of instruction in your university (letter from the registrar's office).
    4. Ensure that you have a good relationship with at least 3 lecturers.

    Done and dusted is dangerous!!!!
    You are not done until you are done.

    During NYSC

    1. Write standardized exams in line with your next phase of life (GRE, TOEFL, GMAT, etc)

    Note: The US embassy in Nigeria funds some of these through the opportunity fund program.

    2. Explore professional training and certifications (ICAN, NIM etc).

    3. Do not ignore the opportunity to Intern (research assistantship, Ass. QC analysts, etc).

    4. Explore Opportunities (some described below).

    A. Scholarships

    Local: BEA, OFP (US embassy), NNPC, Shell, etc.

    Regional: Pan African University Scholarship etc.

    International: Chevening, Commonwealth, MasterCard etc.

    Institutional: Vice Chancellor scholarships, sports or art scholarships etc.

    NOTE: If the International scholarship is your choice, no one needs your NYSC certificate before you can start applying.

    B. Grants

    Regional: Tony Elumelu Foundation Grant....

    International: Geneva Challenge.......

    C. Fellowships (No international trip during NYSC, don't forget )

    D. Conferences (No international trip during NYSC don't forget )

    5. Let your CDS contribution be remarkable (a recommendation letter acknowledging your role will be important).

    6. Don't run with the multitude, realities after NYSC differ.

    7. Don't be under pressure (After NYSC what Next???), You may hasten yourself to many errors.

    8. Grow yourself in Welcoming rejections, you may get a few while applying.

    9. Apply as much as you can

    10. Pray as much as you can.

    Note: Create two CVs (one academic and one general). It helps to maximize your applications.

    After NYSC

    If you haven't accomplished any of the above,

    1. Be truthful to yourself (Are you willing to stay in the state of deployment or go back home?)

    2. Resist pressure (Being alive is more important than anything else, don't let anyone overpush you).

    3. Develop a mindset that no one owes you anything (It helps in managing disappointment).

    4. Identify platforms where legal opportunities are shared.

    A. LinkedIn
    B. Twitter
    C. Opportunity desk
    D. Opportunity for Africans
    E. Scholarship hub.
    Etc.

    5. While applying and waiting, get yourself busy

    1. Write a manuscript from your undergraduate project
    2. Submit conference abstracts
    3. Register with an organization (volunteer) and start gathering experience.
    4. Start learning a hands-on skill that you may need later in life. Could also be digital training in Bioinformatics, data science, AI, ML, Coding, Programming, etc.

    If all of these fail????

    Keep trying!
    You only need one major opportunity!
    When it comes, you'll forget the days of pains
    Let that keep you motivated.

  • The concept of an animal surviving for an extended period without food and water might seem fantastical, but nature has evolved remarkable creatures that exhibit such extraordinary resilience. One of the most fascinating examples is the tardigrade, also known as the water bear


    Tardigrades are microscopic, eight-legged animals renowned for their incredible survival capabilities.


    Tardigrades can endure extreme conditions that would be fatal to most other forms of life. This resilience is largely attributed to their ability to enter a state of cryptobiosis, a form of suspended animation. In this state, tardigrades essentially shut down their metabolic processes, allowing them to survive without food and water. During cryptobiosis, they can withstand desiccation, extreme temperatures ranging from nearly absolute zero to over 300 degrees Fahrenheit, high levels of radiation, and even the vacuum of space.

    Cryptobiosis in tardigrades involves the loss of nearly all their body water, which is replaced by a protective protein called trehalose. Trehalose stabilizes cellular structures and prevents damage caused by dehydration.

    When the environmental conditions improve, tardigrades can rehydrate and reactivate their metabolic processes, returning to their active state. This ability allows them to survive for decades, and in some cases, even longer, without the need for food or water.

    Tardigrades’ remarkable durability has sparked significant scientific interest. Researchers study them to understand the mechanisms behind cryptobiosis and explore potential applications for human technology and medicine. For instance, understanding how tardigrades survive extreme dehydration could lead to advancements in preserving biological samples and developing new techniques for protecting cells and tissues in medical treatments.

    In conclusion, the tardigrade stands out as one of the most resilient creatures known to science, capable of surviving for decades without food or water through its unique cryptobiotic state. Its extraordinary survival strategies not only highlight the incredible adaptability of life but also offer valuable insights into the potential for biological preservation and resilience in extreme conditions.
