Explanation:Abstract: This study investigated the influence of personality traits on academy achievements of secondary

school students in Cross River State. Two research questions and hypotheses were tested at .05 levels of

significance to guide the conduct of the study. The research design used was casual-comparative or ex-post

facto. The population of the study consisted of 13, 838 SSI students in all 239 public secondary schools

throughout Cross Rivers State. A total of 7 LGAs were randomly drawn out of 23. Then 20 schools were

randomly selected, from which a sample of 8530 SSI students was finally drawn. The instrument adapted for the

study was the 44-item standardized questionnaire known as the big five personality model by Robert McCrae

and Paul Costa (1999). This was validated by expert in the field of measurement and evaluation; the reliability

was established using the test re-test method and the reliability coefficient was calculated using Pearson

moment correlation coefficient (r) and the reliability indices obtained were, 0.68, and 0.62 respectively for

conscientiousness and agreeableness. The data collected were analyzed using the mean (x) and standard

deviation (SD) to answer the research question. The independent sample t- test was used to test the hypothesis in

order to determine whether there is a significance difference between the means two independent groups being

compared for each trait. A significant difference was found between the achievements of students with high level

of conscientiousness and agreeableness, and those with low levels of the traits. Based on the findings, the

following recommendations were made. Parents and teacher should encourage their children/ wards or students

to set clear goals, and ensure that they are disciplined and careful to consistently achieve them. Incentives

should be arranged to accompany success to encourage continuous positive performance. This will serve as

positive reinforcement. Teacher should endeavor to be close to their students through interaction outside the

classroom. Government too can encourage more sponsorship programs to encourage the indigent but

conscientious students further their education. Also Neurotic tendencies such as anger, depression, anxiety, and

a low self esteem should be discouraged in students at all levels both at home and in the school. Parent should

inculcate self confidence in their children by affirming them whenever they do the right thing and correct in love

whenever they do wrong. Teachers and counseling psychologists should help them have a positive self esteem

through affirmation. This is why guidance and counseling units must be encouraged in all school where this is

not the case, especially in the rural areas.

In 1668, Francesco Redi proposed a different hypothesis to explain the specific example of maggots that appeared on spoiled food

anygoal [31]

<h2>The following is an explanation of how Redi disproved the idea of spontaneous generation: </h2><h2> </h2>

Redi kept the food in two different jars and covered one of them, while kept the other open.
The jar that was open attracted flies and soon exhibited the development of maggots.
On the other hand, the jar that was covered did not attract any flies and there was no formation of maggots on the food in the covered jar.
Hence, Redi proposed that spontaneous generation of maggots is not true as the cells for the generation of maggots were carried by flies and introduced to the food.
