Lecturer Warns Students Against Paying More Attention To Entertainment

Undergraduates in the country have been called
upon to focus on their academics or risk affecting
their future adversely by being carried away by
the height of achievements in the entertainment
industry.

The call was made by a lecturer in Lagos State
University, School of Communication, Mr Lanre
Biobaku, who said social media has made many
graduates seek the easy way, thereby seeing
expensive cars and houses bought by artists and
celebrities within a short period of time as the
height of achievement.
He advised undergraduates to remain focused and
committed, as the trending achievements in the
entertainment industry occasioned via social
media, will fade. He added that he disagrees with
the assertion that academic excellence is not
accorded the same recognition as entertainment
achievements,
He stressed that what they see on social media is
usually over hyped but less enduring, while
academic excellence is more enduring and
prestigious even though it is less financially
rewarding.
He concluded by saying that for undergraduates
to achieve academic excellence and avoid being
unduly exposed to social vices, they have to
concentrate, more rigorously, on studying and
research.
