There is no gain in Laziness
Johnny was a lazy student in a higher Institution, he did not like reading his books. When the examination period was getting closer, one of his classmates complained of his nonchalant attitude towards his studies, he said to him; "Johnny, you have not been coming to school, you have been missing a lot of lectures, even the mathematics revision we just had this morning you missed it, and you know exam starts in a week time, how will you cope? How will you pass the examination now?
Johnny replied his classmate and said:
Mr Man, forget about that one you are talking about, every time you will be saying i should come to school, is it by coming to school? In fact, i don't need to go to school before i pass my examinations. See! As i am now it is on examination day i am going to come oh! I know my ways, i know how i will run my stuff, and pass my exam well.
His classmate didn't say anything again, he went straight to his own house.
Now the examination was to start tomorrow, Johnny started thinking what he would do so that he could pass his exam.
All through the night, instead of him to be reading his books, he was having series of Thoughts on how he would cheat in the exam, all the Thoughts he had seemed not to be very perfect as he wanted. So, early in the morning he quickly ran to the house of another classmate of his, who was living close to him, on getting there, he told him "guy our exam starts by 10am this morning, and i have not read, so help me you know we are friends".
His classmate smiled and said to him "Johnny you know you've not been coming to school at all, most of our classmates you don't even know them. As examination starts in 3 hours time, the only help i can render to you now is that i will give you the picture of the most intelligent student in our class, if you are sharp enough to sit beside her and copy her answers, then you will pass". Johnny said wow!! He danced!!!
Without wasting time he brought out his phone and switch on the Xender, send it now! He sent the picture into Johnny's phone, and Johnny was very happy.
He said to himself "now that i have gotten the picture of the most intelligent student in my class, let me just go home and have a short sleep, i will wake up 2 hours before the exam". He set his alarm and began to sleep. Unfortunately for Johnny his alarm didn't ring, it was 3 minutes to the exam he woke up. As he woke up, he quickly held his phone in his hand, picked his writing materials, and he ran out with speed to look for bike that will take him straight to the examination centre, luckily he saw a bike Man, but that one charged him costlier than he should, but Johnny had no choice, he took it like that.
Now, he has gotten to the examination centre, fortunately for him the exam has not started, he met the students on the queue, they have not all entered.
The invigilator just started ushering them into the exam Hall. Johnny quickly brought out his phone, opened the photo folder to see the picture of the most intelligent student that was sent to him. As he saw the picture, he began to move up and down, checking the faces of the students on the queue, he was looking for the girl, he checked and rechecked but couldn't find the face that resembled the girl, maybe because he was rushing. He said to him "where can this girl be oh?! Has she entered? Where can i see her now?".
Now he changed the mode of his checking, he started checking slowly, now he saw a face of a girl that looked like the one on his phone, without wasting time he ran and queue at her back. Went into the exam with her, sat by her side and whispered to her "please, i will copy your answer oh". The girl agreed and said: okay no problem. As the exam began, Johnny observed that the girl he wanted to copy could not answer any of the questions. Johnny became stranded as his plan failed, nothing he could do again, went to submit empty booklets like that.
It was after the exam he knew that was not the girl he was directed to.
That was how Johnny failed his exam and carried the course over, because he allowed laziness to take over him. Had it been he had shun laziness, and took his time to read his books, and prepare for the exam, he wouldn't have ended up in Failure. Sincerely there is no gain in laziness.

This is very common in our Nigerian Universities among lazy students who want to pass through short corners to make success but they are always disappointed in the end just like Johnny. This isn´t limited to studies alone but in all spheres of life. There is no gain in laziness.
