Some night class addicts at Usmanu Danfodiyo University, Sokoto have opened up on why they prioritize going to class at night to cast their eyes over their books.
These particular category of students are hardly seen with “morroco” partners—as their concern is always built on the foundation of having grade “ A’s” in all their courses right from 100 level to 400 level of academy, base on the nature of the course of study.
Speaking with The News Digest Press, Bolaji Maryam, a fan of night class reading and 200 level student of Faculty of Agriculture, explained why she chooses night as the best time for her to cast over her books.
“ I do assimilate everything I read at night class night quickly. Any day I fail to go to night class, it seems like I’m cheating on myself,” said Maryam.
Maryam, in her words added that she goes to night class purposely because she often gets distracted and unmotivated while trying to read in her hostel at night.
Also speaking, Alfanla Adewumi Shukro who is also another night class addict, told The News Digest Press that she gains a lot in going to class at night to peruse her books.
However, the 200 level student from the History and international relation Department, recounted that night class is full of different categories of students—noting that the category of noise maker often diverts her attention from grasping easily whatever she reads.
According to Abdullateef Faruq, a 100 level student of Education in English, he believes that all that he was taught during the day can only be assimilated properly at night.
“ I do Till Day Break (TDB) purposely to be among the best that would graduate from my school and my department. I believe in this and that is why I choose to come to night class every night,” he said.
Contrarily, to Adeola Aisha, a 200 level student of Economics department, going to night class doesn’t imply that one is serious than other people who choose to read in their hostels,
In her words: “ I only come to night class if I have a note to read times without numbers before I can understand. And another thing is that I come here at night just because there is no electricity in the hostel.”
Adeola stressed further that there is nothing special in going to night class, adding that not everyone who goes to class at night has the interest for reading.
“ Some students come to visit their “morroco” partners at night class and to disturb those who come for the purpose of reading.”
