FAVORITE LECTURERS: 

I Love all my Lecturers.
MY PHILOSOPHY OF LIFE

LIFE IS NOT A ONE WAY TRAFFIC. IT IS SERIOUS A PROCESS, A JOURNEY THAT  REQUIRES VISION GUIDED BY WISDOM AND THE REALITY THAT GOD TRULY EXISTS AND HE IS THE GIVER OF DIRECTION TO EVERYONE WHO ASKS FOR HIS DIRECTION. ALTHOUGH IN LIFE, THE RACE TOWARDS ACHIEVEING SUCCESS IS NOT FOR THE LILLY LIVERED.

IT TAKES A LOT OF DETERMINATION FOR ONE TO RISE ABOVE VARIOUS TRIBULATIONS AND SURMOUNT ONE VARIED VEGARIES OF LIFE. THE ABILITY TO RISE AFTER SO MANY FALLS MAKE A MAN AS NOTHING GOOD COMES EASY. MOREOVER , LIFE IS MOST OFTEN SAID NOT TO BE A BED OF ROSES. BEYOND THE IMAGINATION OF THE AVERAGE MIND COMES THE REALITY OF EITHER LIVING ABOVE OR NOT LIVING IN THE STATUS QUO. A POING WHICH ALL MEN MUST COME TO AND DECIDE THEIR FATE, THEIR DESTINIES AND ROLES.

YOUR VERY CHOICE TO REFLECT INWARDS AND THESE RESPONSIBILITIES FOR YOUR ACTIONS WOULD SIMPLY BE BASED ON THE REFLECTIONS OF YOUR MIND, EMOTIONS CHARACTER, AND A SUM TOTAL OF YOUR ATTITUDE TO FACE THE NEXT LEVEL.

IN A WORLD LIKE OURS, THERE ARE MANYVESSELS, THE CONTENT OF WHAT ITS TO BEAR WILL ALWWAYS BE DETERMINED BY THE MAKE UP OF THE VESSEL-TO BE A “VESSEL OF VISION” IS THE GUARANTEE TO SUCCESS.

HOWEVER, IT DOSENT COMES CHEAP, NOR DOES IT COST MUCH, BUT IT DOES PAY VERY HANDSOMELY. ITS REWARD IS DETERMINED BY THE QUALITY OF ATTITUDE AND THE INGRIDIENT OF TIME. THE DREAM IS NOT IMPORTANT AS THE REAM CHASER, THE MOST IMPORTANT FACTOR IN HIMSELF IS A POSITIVE MENTAL ATTITUDE; A WILL STOP AT NOTHING UNTIL IT WINS. Its DRIVE IS IN ITSELF, THE MAKING OF A “VISION”

Best Quotes

Anyone can become angry that’s easy; but to be angry with the right person, to the right degree, at the right time, for the right purpose and in the right way that is not easy.

ARISTOTLE

The tragedy of life is what dies inside a man while he lives.                                                                                                                                     ALBERT EINSTEIN

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage and ability to change what is changeable, and the wisdom to know the difference.

ANONYMOUS

Nothing has ever existed, is existing; or will ever exist created by God for without a purpose for unto this reason will I study and prepare myself for one day my time will come.

IGBOANUGO C. ALVIN

BIOGRAPHY

My name is igboanugo chibuike Alvin, a third year student of the prestigious department of Archeology and Tourism, Faculty of arts, University of Nigeria, Nsukka.

I was born into the unique family of mr. and mrs. Herbert Igboanugo on the 24^th of February,, 1992. I hail from Isi-afor, Ofeahia, Umuhu-Okabia in Orsu lga, Imo state. my family is a family of four and I am the second son of my father. My father’s mother evangelist Ngozika v. Igboanugo and I reside at no. 206, kirikiri rd. Olodi-Apapa, Lagos.

Academic background

I had my nursery education at Holy angels’ nur./pri. Sch. Situated at no. 41 Karimu street, Surulere Lagos (1995-1997). I had my primary education at Oru Women nur/pri school (FSP, OTULU) in mgbidi, Oru-East lga, Imo state (199-2004) where I receieved my first school leaving certificate (FSLC) during the holidays I left for my marternal uncle’s residence in the person of Mr. Ikechukwu Egeonu. In lagos and this happened on the 11^th of August 2004. My first journey to Lagos alone. When it was September, I got registered into Rybeka Model College situated at no. 66 swamp street Olodi-Apapa Lagos for my secondary education (31^st July, 2010; both jnr. And snr. Sec. sch.)

I recall the days of my secondary education as a very unique and splendid experience as I was opportune to serve as a class prefect (jss 3), became the labour prefect of the school on the 8^th of May, 2009 and was also (during my ss2) elected the vice- president of Rybeka model college student’s fellowship (R.M.C.S.F) on the same day.

I sat for my WAEC/NECO examinations during the May/June, 2010 examinations and by His grace came out successfully in flying colours. I had my graduation and valedictory service out o fsecondary school on the 31^st of July, 2010 and graduated from R.M.C Lagos as the BEST OUTSTANDING PREFECT OF THE YEAR 2010.(2009/2010 academic year). All glory to the almighty, Amen.

After my secondary education, the passion and the zeal to further my education, the next thing in my mind was my dream, passion and zeal to further my education to the higher tertiary in situation and to this effect aspired to sit for the 2010 JAMB Examination, but unfortunately was not able to do so due to some unforeseen contingencies/circumstances.

That not withstanding, I was never deterred as this kinded, the determination in me to further my education to the university level. In preparation for this, I decided to engage myself by doing the following:

 Studying and reading motivational/inspirational books by Christian authors. I was able to attend a good number of academic leadership and ICT empowerment forums, seminars, conferences, workshops and debates organized by both my residential organizations (NGO’S) in my locality.

  Attended a scholarship conference at best western hotel (Victoria Island Lagos) ie. E.S.C.C study in UK.

  Also had my first working experience at Almond Inter-trade link (no. 250 Kirikiri rd. Olodi- Apapa, Lagos) whre I worked as the secretary and Unik communications @ no. 8 Cardoso str. Kirikiri town, Lagos where I worked as the cashier/ computer operator (typist)

  In year 2011, I purchased the JAMB form for the examination stated for May 18^th, 2011, attended JAMB tutorials and sat successfully for the examination.

After this, I sat for my POST-UME examinations at UNN (August, 19, 2011) where I wrote for the department of Archeology and tourism, and by his grace I gained admission into the University of Nigeria, Nsukka on the 21^st of Sept. (Wednesday), 2011 (on merit. Published in the daily Sun of 21^st Sept. 2011) where currently my 1^st degree B.A programme in Archeology and Tourism (300 level).

HOW I CAME INTO ARCHAEOLOGY AND TOURISM

I strongly believe that all things worketh together for good to them that love and to them that are called according to his purpose. In order words, everything happens for the good. What do I mean? Initially, after my Jamb examination and when going through the brochure, I was searching for tourism as a course but when finally I came across the word “Archeology” together with tourism under UNN, I fell I nlove with it upon discovering that it was in line with my zeal and passion to study the past history of people, culture and civilization. This was because I loved historical stories and enjoyed watching adventure (epic movies). Not forgetting at this point my love and flare for travelling, meeting people and visiting places (Tourism).

Consequent upon this fact, I went further to sit for the 2011 post-ume examination into the department of Archeology/Tourism on the 19^th of August, 2011. One month later on the 21^st of September, my name appeared in the UNN merit admission list of the Daily Sun (page 48, dated 21^st September, 2011). I received the news with a great Joy and that was how I began my Journey into the department of Archaeology/Tourism for my B.A (hons), 1^st degree programme and I am currently in my 3^rd year (300 level) studying Archaeology/Tourism- “the science of beginning and development”.

MY WORK WITH GOD

It is indeed pernitent to note at this stage that living and keeping the Christian race has not been an easy task at all as it has its changes also but that notwithstanding. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me (Phil. 4: 13)

In tjis regard, by His grace, the Lord found me and I began my walk with Him during my confirmation and first Holy communion on 5^th and 12^th oct. 2008 respectively. And this was held at St.  John’s Anglican Church, Lagos and St. Peter’s Anglican Church Olodi-Apapa, Lagos. Respectively. By His grace, I am still walking worthy of His call.
