INTRODUCTION
Counseling is a learning process in which a counselor helps an individual or individuals learn, understand themselves and their environment and be in a position to choose the right type of behaviors that will help them develop, grow, progress, ascend, mature and step up, educationally, vocationally and socio personally, Ebizie E. Nkechi ( 2016)
Guidance and counseling is an important educational tool in shaping the orientation in a child from negative ideas that is planted in the child by his/her peers. Hence the need school for the counselor to assist the child in molding their future through counseling therapy. The school counselor is seen as a role model and highly respected by students. The counselors by their training are expected to be friends with the school child, listen to the child’s complains, short comings and proffer guidance to the child in a quest of molding the child in the right part to take in their life pursuit.
Egbo (2013) stated that “the total development of a child can only take place in an environment conducive for teaching and learning”. It is in realization of the above that all educational services which can promote teaching and learning in schools are given prominent attention by educational planners. Counseling services are among the school educational services. It is believed that guidance and counseling services in school shall develop, assess and improve educational programmers; enhance teaching and improve the competence of the teacher and reduce cost for the children.

Streghts guidance and counseling  according to Ebizie E. Nkechi ( 2016)
Counseling and guidance can present a good basis for a broader education for life. It can be used as psychoanalysis for persons with specific personal problems, or it can be the foundation of a more general life skills training programmer  for the student who, though not suffering from any particular problem, should be assisted in building up his/her personal resources in order to cope effectively with their future lives .
Guidance and counseling service in schools is to assist the student in fulfilling his / her basic physiological needs, understanding themselves and developing associations with peers, balancing between permissiveness and controls in the school setting, realizing successful achievement, and providing opportunities to gain independence.
Guidance and counseling program is to bring about the maximum development and self-realization of human potential for the benefit of the individual and society .School counsellor is concerned with facilitating the optimum development of students. This program is supposed to develop the learner’s intellectual abilities, develop a balanced personality and to have complete person intellectually, spiritually, morally and socially. Guidance and counseling programme is therefore aimed at assisting students to harmonize their abilities, interests and values, thereby enabling them to develop their potential fully. Self-knowledge helps one to formulate life goals and plans which are realistic

It is the role of guidance and counseling programme to provide the students with the necessary information about the courses availability and the qualifications required for each course In schools, there is need for students to make proper subject and career choices after the four-year course in the Universities, Six education programs in both Primary and Secondary as it relates to Nigeria education system.. Such information will assist students develop realistic self-concept according to their academic capabilities.

It intercepting and assisting disadvantaged students and also checks on school drop-out. Counsellor is to help students who are experiencing difficulties. Students from disadvantaged families of the society have many problems and needs which, are to be dealt with in guidance and counselling programme. Students may experience difficulty in adjustment with peers, teachers and the environment thus guidance programme helps such students to adjust and utilize the guidance facilities available fully. Majority of the disadvantaged students later acquire low qualifications for the world of work.

To make individual conscious of his or her inherit potential, talents and capabilities. This ensures that guidance play a great role so as to discover the skills of an individual and hi capabilities to solve life challenges and dynamic that surrounding human being. It adhere the way in which someone use brain to think and give advice to the client about the certain matter that he or she suffer, (Kinra 2008).
Guidance and counseling help the person to make correct interpretation of the facts of the given situation, This means that guidance and counseling acts a  vehicle that give a compass to life dynamics and challenges hat need to be solved by a counselor and being appreciated by a counselee, (Kinra 2008).
WEAKNESS OF GUIDANCE AND COUNSELING OF THE BOOK 
            Guidance and counseling lacks implication in school to the students since in school taking the information in all student or pupils needs research about the certain matter so as to be familiar with that problem encounter,
Guidance and counseling the counselor is usually perceived as someone who performs magic to change the client, and also as a rival in the societal or institutional system. In other words, from all indications, guidance activities are seen as negating virtues held tenaciously within the cultural setting.
            Guidance and counseling is very limited since thus it involves professional criteria a like intelligence and interests and other ways that many counselors they not involve all of them when giving advice about the certain matter,
Consider most of the individuals as normal persons, according to this principle the majority of the persons seeking guidance and counseling should be considered as normal persons and it should be ensured that every normal or abnormal person may take advantage from guidance. Often this thinking develops that the service should be given to those persons only who are in some problem. It is not true that the guidance program is only for problematic clients.
            Guidance and counseling is associated to be used only is school, This fact that guidance and counseling is a very good profession that must be applicable in many, places like hospital, church, home, market and other place but always it is implicated in hospital and school to the students only so as to prepare them to be successful in life,



CONCLUSION
Guidance and counseling plays an role of in schools for the child future success of the child. The study recognizes the fact that counseling is a transformative process of helping people to learn all that are to be learnt both in and outside the School. Guidance and counseling is very wide profession that needs counselor to be honest, respectful also to be sympathy about the matter aroused by a client example problems like poverty, betrayal, love issues hence they acts as guideline or a compass direction to a client in which he or she must follow so as to escape from that problem encountered to his or her life

    International Law The body of law that governs the legal relations between or among states or nations.To qualify as a subject under the traditional definition of international law, a state had to be sovereign: It needed a territory, a population, a government, and the ability to engage in diplomatic or foreign relations. States within the United States, provinces, and cantons were not considered subjects of international law, because they lacked the legal authority to engage in foreign relations. In addition, individuals did not fall within the definition of subjects that enjoyed rights and obligations under international law. so there are two types of international law which are public and private international law.
