Based on the idea of Springer Encyclopedia (2010), Procrastination is the thief
of time. On the mid-21st century, procrastination meaning was someone who continually
puts things off ultimately achieves little. Procrastination is a common human behavior that
involves delaying the initiation or completion of important tasks. In despite of that,
behavioral scientists have paid only modest attention to procrastination. In this entry, the
conceptual underpinnings of procrastination are first explored, with special attention that
link between procrastination and self-efficacy for self-regulation, particularly in the context
of academic performance use. Adolescent procrastination is examined in diverse contexts
with a focus on cross-cultural contexts and on students with special needs. In the final
section, treatment for academic procrastination is considered and avenues for future
research as presented. Procrastination is the student's worst enemy. Procrastination is the
disease in eating away student productivity – with exam season, and we're facing an
epidemic.
In connection to that, Springer Encyclopedia studies that there are estimated over
70% of students "exhibit behavior". Students are biologically and socially predisposed to put
off. Procrastination as the avoidance of doing a task that needed to be accomplished. It
1
could be further stated as a habitual or intentional delay of starting or finishing a task despite
its negative consequences. It is a common human experience involving delay in everyday
chores or even putting off salient tasks such as attending an appointment, submitting a job
report or academic assignment, or broaching a stressful issue with a partner. Various types of
procrastination such as academic, non-academic, behavioral or indecisive have their own
underlying causes and effects. The most prominent explanation in present literature draws
upon "In temporal discounting, task averseness and certain personality traits such as
indecisiveness and distractibility" as the common causes of procrastination.
As of the study of Eneza Education Articles (2013), Absenteeism in school is the
habit of staying away from school without providing a genuine or any reason for not
attending classes. Absenteeism is a truant behavior that negatively affects the performance
among students. Absenteeism is caused by many factors as such as: phobic adolescence, lack
of interest, teacher approach, pamperness, private couching, diseases, school infrastructural
facilities and entertainment. Absenteeism can lead to depression and also result in poor
quality of education as a result of time lost while being away from school. It could also lead
to moral degradation that leads to drug abuse, early pregnancies and unruly behavior.
Absenteeism can be remedied by providing adequate co-curricular activities to students.
Schools should strive to have up to date learning facilities like libraries as well as sporting
facilities to make students enhance student retention. Absenteeism is not only under
documented, but is also detrimental to the success of students as early as kindergarten. That
said, almost of empirical research has examined the effects of chronic absenteeism on
student outcomes. The findings suggest that chronic absenteeism reduces math and reading
achievement outcomes, reduces educational engagement, and decreases social engagement.
2
Hence, this study offers new evidence on how an under measured aspect of missing school
impedes students’ attainment. Absenteeism can be motivationally based, where a student
may not wish to attend, these absences are generally a voluntary and deliberate decision,
whereas other absences are structurally based, where pupils must miss school due to their
life conditions having to move frequently, and thus beyond a student’s control and are an
involuntary decision, student absenteeism often begins in.
In relation to that, those articles and encyclopedia above has a connection to our
ongoing research study of student’s vices and academic performances because it implicitly
told us about the shortcomings of student’s procrastination and student’s absenteeism in
school matters. Thus, it does really affect the performance of students in academic aspect.

Vices are forms of evil, wicked and criminal actions or behaviors in the society. Vices
are social problems and have been thought of as social situations that a large number of
observers feel are inappropriate and need remedying. Vices are those acts and conditions
that violate societal norms and values. Using what was presumed as the universal assumed
that social “pathology” was the consequence of “bad” people. Social problems resulted from
the actions of maladjusted people, who were abnormal because of mental deficiency,
socialization. These “social pathologists” assumed that the basic norms of society are
universally held. In this absolutist view, social problems are behaviors or social arrangements
3
that disturb the moral order (Eitzen, 1980). Nigerian society is a highly dynamic one. The
dynamism gives rise to new issues of public interest. It also generated new problems and
pose daunting challenges for which the society and its people cannot overlook. If there is
any issue that is most pressing in the minds of people as far as education is concerned today,
it is that pertaining to the quality or standard of education. Critics point out that policy-
makers and planners are more concerned with the number educated or number graduating
rather than with quality of graduates. According to Fadipe and Oluchukwu (1999),
qualitative aspect of education should be viewed as a living and moving thing whose
goodness resides not only in its excellence relative to certain standards but in its excellence
and fitness to the changing needs of the particular students and the society it is intended to
serve.
