1. HARSH WEATHER CONDITIONS: Weather conditions as gifts of nature is one of the factors contributing to the stress faced by Nigerian students in their quest to get educated. This weather is therefore in two categories, rainy and sunny. During raining season, students are faced with attending lectures in the rain thereby making them drenched by the rain. The other side of this weather is the sunny period. During this period, students still will have to attend lectures despite the scorching impact of the sun.
2. TRAVELLING LONG DISTANCE TO ATTEND LECTURES: Nigerian students, especially tertiary institutions students are faced with the stress of travelling a long distance before getting to their classrooms or locations of receiving lectures as the system of building classrooms in Nigerian institutions is not favourable to students, this is because classrooms are being built scattered all around the campus thereby making students walk miles before getting to their classrooms.

3. PRESSURE FROM PEEVISH/HARSH LECTURERS: Harsh or unfriendly lecturers is peculiar to Nigerian tertiary institutions as some lecturers are just too unfriendly and harsh to students with reasons only known to themselves. Some lecturers are just of the habits of provoking students to anger and toiling with their emotional feelings. These attitudes from lecturers towards students might be in terms of insults, body shaming or mockery of their inability to get a particular intellectual exercise done rightly or appropriately, sending them on unnecessary errands, extortion, sex for grades, or even fail some students on purpose, etc are enough reasons to prove to us that schooling in Nigeria can be stressful than thought for both male and female students.
4. POOR OR LACK OF ACADEMIC FACILITIES: The Nigerian educational system has for decades now been acting below standard as to what is expected to be available to students and what is available to students in other countries of the world. However, making learning processes difficult and stressful for students as they are left with going through manual processes of getting academic work done. In some Nigerian government-owned institutions, there are old or no research tools for students to conduct researches, no or old libraries, unavailable or obsolete academic resources for students to use in other to get their academic projects done. In some cases, students may need to contribute money within themselves to at times buy equipment needed for academic purposes or go through the manual route of getting such work done which might take time and still be inefficient.
5. LACK OF INFRASTRUCTURAL FACILITIES: This is another challenge being faced by Nigerian students. This challenge varies from a different area to the other, such as no spacious/ conducive classrooms of learning for students, no conducive hostel facilities, no practical workshop facilities, and even computer facilities. In most Nigerian tertiary institution hostels, there is an erratic supply of electricity, faulty water systems, horrible toilet facilities, lack of proper maintenance scheme which makes few of these available infrastructures fail to stand the test of time. Those factors, however, making the learning process strenuous for students going through the schooling process here in Nigeria.
