Dear Jambite,
Please do not be offended by the title I appropriated to you above. It isn't for want of words, but it is a tradition in our country. You would of course understand that we were all once called that. It is only right that you are called the same, at this point. I hear you have written and passed the dreaded Joint admission matriculation board exams. Congrats, that stuff gave most of us sleepless nights and weightloss that was unsolicited. You see, yours truly is one who has passed through that same hurdle, so like a black brother in the slave era, I can identify with the struggle. I can identify with that exctited look you had on your face when you saw a score that was above your expectation, somehow, we all think we are supposed to fail jamb or perform poorly.

Next up is the university screening, I hope you are preparing for that too. It usually isn't easy. In my time, it was another exam on it's own. I hear the current education minister has made it easier for you guys. Yes, I know, what lucky negroes you all are. I am also aware that most of you have lofty dreams of what you would accomplish when you come on board. But hold on, don't get too excited, what we have here is different from what you think. Here we have
1. Lots of Unserious folks : Oh Jambite bro, here we have people who came to school just for the sake of being called undergraduates. You would meet distractions from all corners. If you are gregarious, sorry, bold, you would get carried away. Here you will see and meet Economics students who can't define economics in simple terms. You would meet English undergraduates that don't understand how grammar works or what syntax means. Impossible? Wait, we have final year students who can't draft a simple formal letter here. Sadly, unserious students greatly outnumber the serious ones. In truth, unversities graduate less than 50,000 graduates every year. Forget the numbers that say 500,000. Thing is, this unserious students abound and are here to distract serious ones like you. They would lure you to parties, make you feel dumb when you don't join them. They would greatly persecute you and call you all sorts of not-so-fancy names like "bookworm" or "nerdy geek", bro, we face alot of persecution. That is the purpose of this letter, so you will come prepared. After persecuting you during the semester, they run to you and become friends once exam bells ring. Do not be decieved, they seek to distract you during this period in the hall and if possible get you rusticated for malpractice. Ignore them, the same way you did all semester.
