I wish myself and all other Nigerian students studying or writing their tests/exams a retentive memory to remember all read and studied🙏.

 Success is ours everyone 🙋🏽‍♀️.  

The Entrepreneurship Studies presentation is a compulsory exercise/practicals that students in Nigerian universities carry out every semester. These practicals are done to test the knowledge of entrepreneurial skills(which is usually taught in the 2nd year). Students are being asked to prepare and present a project with a detailed business plan which would be beneficial to the society and to themselves as purposed business men and women in the country. 

Students are offered the opportunity to propose 3 projects and 1 of them will be chosen by the supervisors from the department of EPS. In my group, we proposed furniture, shoe & black polish production and palm oil production. The supervisors chosed furniture and they asked us to make and present a center table with a complete set of stools. 

This was a heavy task but we never really knew how heavy, stressful and draining it was till we started making arrangements for the project after the 8 months ASUU strike😣. Things became very difficult due the sudden resumption, no or low money in circulation and the current economic situation in Nigeria especially the irregular and unfair hike in price of goods and services.

Most of my group members complained of no money for the 4k individual contribution to the project but hopefully we were able to get our project started on Thursday, 10th November,2022 when I gave out the details of our feasibility study to the Cafè for typing, editing and printing. Later that evening, we went to the carpentry shop where two of my group members knew and worked before. At the shop, we discussed and made a downpayment for a center table and two side stools(that is what we could afford). 

On the 11th, Friday, I was supposed to go to the EPS office and present my group's issue with the presentation for not meeting the demands but I couldn't because I had serious chest pain from yesterday's stress. Also other group members and myself were busy with preparing for our afternoon presentation in oil and gas law. After the afternoon presentation, I came back so stressed and in deep pain that I slept right after my daily meditation routine. 

I woke up so healthy and peaceful the next morning(Saturday) by 2am. 

At 6:30am, I left my house to the Cafè to collect our ready copies of the feasibility study of the BLUE ORIGIN FURNITURE LTD🤗. While I was at the computer shop, I received a call(from the other group members) that the manager of the carpentry shop refused to release the furniture pieces( which were made by his workers, his tools and two of our members) till we completed the full payment. Not long after that, a member came to pay his Contribution of N4,000. The money was added to the cash I had then I transfered to them and the payment was completed.

The presentation actually started by 8 am but the furniture arrived at 11:30am and since we came late, we waited for more than an hour before we presented our project to the supervisors. Of course, they did complain that we didn't follow the demand in the proposal and the woman did also promise not to award us 'A' for not following the requirement of complete set of side stools despite our late complaints.

From there, we took our unique furniture to their office on foot before we left school around 3pm. Saturday was a really stressful day but I'm glad we are through with the EPS presentation so I can now focus on my assessment and exams ahead.
