The brainy UNIBEN graduand Pius Ojemolon that became a national phenomenon some days ago, while speaking on his academic success said "Contrary to such thoughts, I wasn’t “always” reading; I usually read whatever my mind pointed at, and most of the time it depended on the posting I was in. So, the frequency of my reading varied and I was never able to stick to a reading schedule or timetable. Every time a new session began, I would draw a timetable but after a couple of weeks, I realised I could no longer follow it. Some could think I must have done something extraordinary, but there wasn’t any particular thing or set of things I could ascribe it to and I don’t think I’m a genius. In medical school, for example, the bulk of the learning you do comes from attending lectures and postings. So, there were some days I was lazy and I didn’t read at all and there were some days I read for the most part of the day. But most days fell somewhere in-between both extremes. And it would interest you to know that I didn’t play with my sleep at all. I had good sleep as much as I could to stay refreshed, even during exam periods. On the average, I slept for six to eight hours daily. Thus, it was a combination of God’s infinite grace and unrelenting support from my family and friends"
