Today we will be focusing on Nigerian students at large. We bring forth to you this post in order to help you as a student that you are.
This post is not just for university scholars, it is also meant for aspiring student too. No knowledge is a waste. I hope you still remember that? It is a very good thing to harness the educative value of the web. It is not just for entertainment and social networking.
In a bid not to derail from the main objective of this post, let’s go back to the main reason why you are here. Below are the 9 websites every Nigerian student should know and use. The objective is not just to know them, but to put them to use.
1. Google:
If I fail to mention this one, know then that I haven’t really started. I personally think this is the most resourceful. Google is a search engine website which gives you a top notch to access almost everything on the web. It is the world’s most commonly used search engine. Another amazing thing about this Google is its speed of operation. Google can go through millions of pages in a second and ranks them based on about 200 factors.

2. Nigerian University Scholarships:The benefit of this site to Nigerian students is as lengthy as its domain name. Most Nigerian students enjoying scholarship benefits will always testify to the quality and usefulness of the website. It is indeed an awesome site.
Nigerian University Scholarships (NUS) are very good at dispensing information about scholarships all around the globe. It didn’t just stop at that; they assist students with scholarship applications, remind them of things on board using sms and can as well run scholarship applications for students. They also provide students with salient news about the various universities most especially, Nigerian universities.
They also supply students with past questions for various examinations.
I personally recommend this site to every Nigerian scholar. You can’t afford to miss some scholarship opportunities that this site might bring to you. This site is powered by Ajah Excel Anayo, a final year student of Information Management Technology in Federal University of Technology, Owerri.
3. Nairaland: This is not a website per say, it is a forum. Here you get to meet up with conglomerate of the good, bad, beautiful and ugly ones in the society. This is a forum I got to understand what mentality variation really is. One particular issue can be dissected from what makes no sense to what entirely makes a whole lot of sense. There are various sections in the forum where you can get equipped with something you need.
One amazing thing about this forum is its immediate response when you post a particular question in the right thread. Please, I didn’t say you should go and stick your life to ‘Romance’ section oo (it is useful anyway), BUT don’t join the ‘wailing wailers’ or ‘Name checkers Association’. Make sure you make very good use of it.
