You will have violence in your own country
And then you'll continue to have violence against the government. Hi guys, welcome back to the Student Feet YouTube channel
Today I'm here live at the University of Nigeria. I'll be going around, asking students information about their course of study
I can say that you are going to find this video helpful. So make sure you like this video and subscribe to this channel
Okay. Wow, wow, wow. Nice to meet you. Okay
So you're a student of psychology, right? Yeah, yeah. So what is psychology all about at a course in university
You know, there's a conventional definition for psychology, which is that the study of human and animals, their covert and overt behavior
But then it's subjective, so you might have a definition for psychology as you go on
I also have a definition for psychology. The general definition is the study of behavior of human and animals, both covert and overt
Those are the two covert definitions that I think psychology is all about
And then we have under psychology, we have several schools under psychology
So we have the clinical, the industrial, the sport psychology, and so on
I need to address my conversation. When you say world psychology, departmental psychology, those things are all known
Okay, let me tell you. I did not apply for psychology in this study
I applied for political science. So, you know, I have a job right now
We don't know how to combine subjects, all those things. So I, when the admission list came up, I found myself in religion
I went to political science. I found myself in religion. So, and then I took up the admission because I, at that point, I just wanted to go to school
Yeah, just get there. So, when I took the admission, you know, but just three weeks to examine
So I started to see that some of my departmental guys, they started changing departments
I was like, ah, what's happening? So they don't have to allow me to go to all of them. So when I went to check, the phone of the professor, let me just check his name
He said, okay, you go to admissions, you don't have to allow to go to them
They will change department. Whether you go back to full-time or you don't. So when I got there, when they were checking, I ended up seeing myself in psychology
I have biology. So at that point, they are not grading me based on my, they are not, at that point
they were not judging me based on my post-GME and exam. They are actually using the whole level
So I have biology, math, and politics, that's what I took up
So, but then, it was just three weeks to examine. No, three weeks for the exam, three weeks to examine, it's just something like that
And then the department had known nothing about it. So I just have to take care of the whole question
So I was supposed to have graduated by now, but I have to take care of the question
Have you had any regrets, though? I don't really have any regrets about it
Not really, because as time goes on, I fell in love with the department
Because, I mean, you know, there's this conception that people have about psychology. You talk about psychology, you think it's all about the math people
But let me tell you, I think that's about, love actually is huge under psychology
I think it's just one. It has to do with the mental, I think, or clinical psychology
Yes, and I think under biology, you also have, like, three segments under it
So, one, there's a conversation about mental health. Not like, you are dealing with math people, no, no, no
So, maybe it's about the other stuff, I don't know. So how did you take these psychology records in Nigeria
The truth is that here in Nigeria we did not have any psychology
Because we did not have land records from this department. Psychology records, like, we were supposed to have it in every sector
You understand? We were supposed to have it in our police, we were supposed to have psychology there
In our industry, our schools, we have that very fun vocational school
And various sectors we were supposed to have psychology records. But you know that, you don't see that, like, when I say come here I'm talking about psychology
No, no, no, no. But I have to take out my time to explain to the person what psychology is all about
It's not that math people, math people, math people don't have any of that
Is it a practical experience, like, maybe go to high school, like, what are the studies
Yeah, I think what they are supposed to be doing in second semester in high school, you are a practicum, going to a psychiatrist and trying to do an algebra
You are a psychologist, now you are not, after graduating, you know you are a psychologist
you come back from master, when you specialize. Either mental psychology, gastro-psychology, scientific psychology, clinical psychology
You come back from master. You come back from master? Yeah, but now I'm just a trainer of psychology
Oh, oh. So, how did you work like? How challenging is psychology as a course
For me everything is challenging. And it's not challenging at the same time, it's one of the interests
You are speaking... Because, so far, let me talk about this semester, this semester, although I have to come to
mosque because of my wife. Oh my God. It was very challenging for me
This, actually my worst semester. But thank God for the previous one, so I was actually using that one to balance it for me
Everything is in there. You have to find out what works for you. You just know the psychology of the matter I was teaching you
Some matter was like, give me what I gave to you. Some matter was like, teach me what I'm saying, like good examples, talk about what you know
Don't tell them that thing they told you, like, this is what I know, that is it. Right
Yeah, they just want it like that. That's what... There was no particular discipline or anything
I would say that is easy. I would say that is the word, easier. Okay
Because it's not about interest. They all have their interests. Yes, I'm telling you, yes. And I also noticed something
You put in more effort, depending on the challenge that is coming. Okay
Yeah, you put in effort, more effort, depending on the challenge that comes
So, over time, that's what I saw. Does the course allow students to engage in other psychological activities like psydozoos and etc.
I think the question is something like... Right, psychology of the course. Looking at the demands, like the academic workload, does it allow students to engage in other activities, maybe psydozoo, another, you know
You know, like I said earlier on, all the things is subject to your level of how you approach things matter. Okay
How you approach things matter, your flexibility. Some persons, they like to concentrate. Okay
So, if it's not study, study, study, study, they don't engage in other activities. Yeah
It could be political, listening. There are some people that are doing well in this course once a year, so they engage in political, and then in the long run, they are just going back. Okay
You understand? There are some people like that. I'm not saying that there are not people that are doing well too, by the end of the course, but these persons, I think, they don't get to find out what really works for them
Like, okay, if I'm doing this thing, let's have time for this, let's have time for that
You just need to understand. So, you cannot say, you're doing study, and you're doing another thing
But for me, I have some projects that I'm doing. That's the best thing I could
I don't know about other things. So far, have you had any memorable experience, you know, any challenge? Academically
Yeah, I had one, and I'm sure that's the later I tell you I'm going to, in the research that I selected in the summer department
But the recording is up to, and this is my final, I mean, I did not do anything about it
It's a college, it's a college summer. But thank God that the results have been streamed
And there is also official, normal proceedings that I need to follow up
Yes, I hope it's all right. So, what advice do you have for someone that wants to study psychology in the industry
Okay, first of all, you, just, no more like an advice, just forget them
Forget them. You need to know the Indian, oh, you don't need to know the Indian, the overview of what psychology is all about
And then, just as I'm saying now, you know that after four years you need to come back to master to specialize
And then know the particular area that you're going to need to ask that you're going to
And another thing is, even if you do not get psychology, if you have that sort of a career, you can pick up another course
And the course of 30 years, after your first year, it is just a two-term course
You can apply for single department, single course, $1000, so, don't know the advance number
but $10,000, $15,000 in that course. And then you're good to go
So, that's, I, you just have to know that in your company, you will have knowledge, you will own it
And then your company will have knowledge, mathematics, government, English, so forth
Yes, yes, biology, English, economics, government, whatever, but make sure you have biology
Because that's the, that's the thing. So, thank you very much. I know with this, any students that are trying to study this course
we get the complete information about what's key. Yes, it's complete, sir
I think, well, at least. I know about you, I know about you, yes, yes, yes
And I think when you get here, you will get more information about what's key, as well
All right, thank you very much. I appreciate it. Okay
