Test Season at FUTMinna: The Vibes Are Different

-


There’s a certain electricity in the air right now on campus. You can almost smell it — not NEPA light (God knows that one is never stable), but the restless energy of FUTMinna students gearing up for tests.


The library is packed like it’s Juma’at day. Hostels are buzzing with last-minute revisions, whispered group discussions, and that one guy who always pretends he “hasn’t read anything” but is secretly a walking textbook.


Every corner of campus carries the sound of scribbled notes, calculators clicking, and the occasional “Omo, I no go fit” muttered under someone’s breath. Even the food sellers know test season is here — they’re serving extra pieces of Awara  for students pulling all-nighters aka TDB!


But here’s the beauty of it all: amidst the stress, there’s unity. Shared struggles, shared laughter, even shared pens when someone’s biro decides to die at the worst possible time. FUTMinna test season is a rite of passage — an energy that binds us together, from 100-level freshers to final year warriors.


So as you step into that hall, remember — you carry the strength of every sleepless night, every hurried lecture, every whispered prayer. You’re not alone. This is FUTMinna. And this is where champions are made.


 Good luck, Minna gladiators. Go write your history.

Surviving Test Period at FUTMINNA: My Experience + Tips You Need

-

  Test period in FUTMINNA is an entire survival game. If you’re new, it feels like being thrown into a jungle with no map—only your courage (and maybe your GP). I learned this the hard way during my first test period. My Story It was test season, and aside from the normal tension and frustration, I wasn’t yet used to FUTMINNA’s system.   First, my phone was stolen. Yes, just like that. That’s how I learned... The hard way. Rule No. 1: Don’t take your phone to school during this period unless you have someone trustworthy to keep it safe.   I was devastated and angry, but I still had to face the test. On my way in, I suddenly realized I had my small push-button phone in my pocket.  Rule No. 2: Always check your pockets for incriminating objects before entering the exam hall.  As if that wasn’t enough, when I got to the convocation square, I was asked to go back to the gate because I was wearing slippers instead of sandals or shoes. Imagine my frustration. That’s w...

Writing Scenes & Sequels with MRUs

-
Image
  When I was writing my novel Awake , there was a moment when my character stood on a bridge, staring at the midnight water. He’d just discovered a secret that would tear his family apart. I wanted the reader to feel his pulse racing, the ache in his chest, the rush of thoughts scrambling for order. But I also wanted the story to move forward in a way that felt natural, not chaotic. That’s when I leaned into MRUs — Motivation-Reaction Units — the secret sauce that makes scenes breathe. What are MRUs? Think of MRUs as the heartbeat of fiction. They’re the smallest units of cause-and-effect that build up your scenes: Motivation – Something happens (outside the character). Reaction  – Your character responds (inside and outside). String enough of these together, and you get a scene that feels alive. No flat paragraphs. No robotic characters. Just action-reaction, cause-effect, like dominoes falling in rhythm. Step 1: Writing the Scene (the action beat) A scene is about doing. Con...
