“The Children Who Try Too Hard”

Some children are not asking for attention.
They are asking for relief.

They try so hard to be “good.”
They try so hard not to stress anyone.
They try so hard to hide their tears.
They try so hard to keep up — even when school drains them.

If you look closely, you’ll see it…
Their eyes always searching.
Their shoulders always tight.
Their smile always too quick.

These children don’t explode.
They fold.
Quietly.

This holiday, check on them too.
Ask gentle questions.
Offer soft spaces.
Give room for rest.
And remind them…
They don’t have to earn love with perfection.

Because the children who try too hard
are often the ones who feel unseen the most.

If you are a parent, sibling, caregiver or teacher—
look out for them this season.

If you find our educational contents valuable, then follow us for an amazing ride.

I am putting together an eBook that highlights psychological challenges school children face and the way forward, make sure you grab a copy to keep you ready to handle any child especially when school resumes.
I'm rooting for you and your children

UNIPORT Lecturer Exposes Deception Behind ‘Sign-Out’ Jamborees

A lecturer at the University of Port Harcourt (UNIPORT), Dr. Ovunda Ihunwo, has raised alarm over what he describes as the “deceptive culture” of sign-out jamborees, warning parents to be more vigilant about their children’s true academic standing before celebrating.

In recent years, it has become common to see graduating students marking the end of examinations with “sign-out” ceremonies, often characterized by elaborate parties, designer outfits, loud music, spraying of money, and in some cases, the active participation of parents. However, Dr. Ihunwo noted that a growing number of these celebrations are misleading, as some students who participate may not have actually met their graduation requirements.

“Parents must be careful. Some of the students you see signing out are not even cleared academically,” Ihunwo cautioned. “They are deceiving themselves, their parents, and the public.”

The lecturer stressed that many students engage in sign-out events as a show of status and social pressure, even while still battling carryovers, outstanding fees, or other issues that could delay their graduation. According to him, such displays create false impressions and put parents in an awkward position when the truth eventually surfaces.

Observers say the culture of sign-out jamborees, once a simple farewell gesture among classmates, has ballooned into a social trend fueled by peer influence, social media clout, and the desire for public validation. For many families, it has become a symbol of pride, with parents sometimes funding the extravagant outings without verifying if their children are genuinely through with school.

Dr. Ihunwo urged parents to demand academic confirmation before supporting such ceremonies, while also encouraging students to focus on completing their studies with integrity rather than chasing fleeting moments of celebration.

“Graduation is a milestone that should be backed by proof of academic achievement, not just customized shirts and noise,” he emphasized.

His remarks have sparked conversations on campus and online, with some students agreeing that the sign-out craze has become excessive, while others argue that it remains an important rite of passage regardless of academic hurdles.

A staff of the Nigeria Correctional Centre, Pelumi Adebayo, suspected to be the murderer of one Ayo Aiyepekun, a young photo journalist in Lokoja, Kogi State may have committed suicide.

Oluwapelumi Adebayo’s naked lifeless body was discovered in a Lokoja hotel room at about 12 noon of Thursday, July 24.
An empty can of snipper liquid which he allegedly drank to kill himself was found in the hotel room.

He also left a suicide note which he also left in the hotel room.

Those who saw the suicide note said they could not decode the message except the last paragraph where Oluwapelumi Adebayo pleaded that they should shield the circumstances of his death from his children.

The corpse of the suspect was recovered by policemen just before journalists arrived at the hotel.

It was gathered that Pelumi checked into the private Lodge on Wednesday morning with the name Olorunpelumi Jacob. It was, however, later discovered that the name on his Correctional Centre Identity Card, where he is a Deputy Superintendent, did not include Jacob.

A source in the Lodge said he did not leave the hotel room until much later in the evening when he went out briefly and returned shortly after.

At day break on Thursday, the staff of the Lodge became curious when the guest did not come out. After knocking his door persistently without a response, they alerted the police.

On arrival, the law enforcement officers forced the door to open only to discover his lifeless body on the bed. A bottle of coke and a container of Snipper was also found in the room, fuelling the suspicion of suicide
