It is no longer news that the University of Nigeria Nsukka has made it compulsory for all her students to own a blog of their own. So far, many students are still wondering why the University management made such rule. This mandate has made students of the University Community to ask series of questions and laid tremendous complains.
Some questions asked by students based on blogging include;
- What will I benefit if I become a blogger?
- If everyone in UNN starts blogging, who will then visit each others blog?
- How will these blogs help or affect the school Management?
The above questions and many more were questions by students.
To this effect,I have decided to clear students minds via this post on the importance of owning a blog and its importance to the school management.
As we all know, a blog is a website that allows users to reflect, share opinion and discuss various topics in form of an online journal sometimes letting readers comment on their post.
A blog is also an interface that allows the user share his/her opinion to the general public via the internet. Some persons within the University Community are very talented in essay writing, art designing, singing and many more. A blog also give the user the opportunity to share his/her talent(s).
