1. Before you even get the admission to study mass communication in any institution, start learning how to trek like you are applying to go and kill Boko-Harams in Borno.

Learn it because your leg depends on it. This is because when you are asked to go under the world to look for Osama Bin Laden’s nose; nobody will give you shishi except for good wishes like “happy trekking”.

2. Have a bag that can pack everything from your ear piece to your flash, phones and any other thing you move around before it will gain wings at an unfamiliar bus stop because you will be in a lot.

3. Hold your parents and everybody close to you high because you will not work in their company but, it is from them your allawee will come from.

If you like, don’t hold them well oh, when the monsters in your stomach start to eat your intestines, you will learn to greet your daddy good morning sir with a big smile 100 times before he leaves the house.

4. Do not bother about buying data because trust me, it will waste. This is coming from an internet freak like me; you will come back so tired that the only thing you want to do is eat and sleep like a dead person.

5. Have friends that know everybody oh in where ever you stay because they will always be a blessing to you. When you are giving impossible task that will make you think of packing your clothes and yourself in a rice sack to your village, just one call to them and your wahala don finish.

6. Lastly, pray and fast not to be posted to news and current affairs department because my dears, even Buhari’s body guards’ names, you will unconsciously know. It will be you in boiling oil, not Saint John.
