Admin, I av just disvirgined my eyes afta seeing dose pics above. Pls do sumtin.

What is circular music? Is it related to hiphop? If I listen to Asap Rocky and Co- f***ing problem, will I be expelled too?

Objection My Lord! D accused claims that my client here swore an oat to abide to the rule of the school and according to them he failed to abide to it by listening and watching circular music and video on "His Laptop" in "His Room". But my Lord, invading of a nigeria citizen privacy is against the country's human rights which is in the constitution. So in order words, so far they are citizens of this country, the country law must be followed bt instead the school developed rules which are against the country's law thereby rendering it illegal. My Lord I am hereby asking that my client here should be compensated with the sum of 10 million Naira and full scholarship in the accused school till he graduates for the deprivation of his legal human rights, I rest my case.

Anybody can win that case. I am just a science student and I still have beta chance of winning the case nt to mention a professional lawyer.

Anyway, let me get back to my movie- Unfaithful, then afta dat I will watch Original sin, 9 songs, Show girls. I am a sex addict, and Never talk to strangers. C'mon they are just movies.

To be sincere that rule is too harsh for the students, however that does not the students should engage in an unwholesome or stupid act. May be suspension would have been ideal for such offence.By taking the school authority to court that student should note that his action will definitely affect his educational performance(i mean his G.P) if he eventually won the case.

Yomieluv: Am not in support of the expulsion of the student,but I know the student is aware of the consequence of such act,if you can't live by simple rule,I see no reason for going to such school,when there's law,then there's a sin. There are other schools to go,if you can't cope with simple basic instruction.

LWKMD! So according to these private universities, he who listens to music should be ready to face the music.

@ D POST, is anyone surprised? Private universities in Nigeria are mushroom secondary schools!!! No one, I repeat, NO ONE can ever graduate from a private uni in Nig and not have a destroyed 'adult reasoning'.

I have met quite a number of their graduates n I can tell that they have a sheep like mentality!!! Why won't they when they were deprived of their innate adult right to make choices?

* Private universities in Nig will continue to lack behind federal uni's because they are everything universities are not supposed to be!!!
Check out the top 60 universities in the world (Havard,etc) and mention any top university that gags univ students!!!

* Their concept of 'university' is warped!!!

so what kind of mentality do you want


A GOAT mentality filled with dubious techniques... se.. xuAl perverts, professional cultists and thieves

Go and check the list of corrupt politicians today and trace their educational background...

Most of them are products of YOUR glorified public lawless camps called universities...

I guess they do not have Theater/ Music department in that school. when a friend was telling me about some of this ridiculous laws in some of the private institutions in Nigeria, I find it hard to believe. I think the school management should take a chill pill alittle, it will help calm their nerves. yes there should be discipline in the school but the military regime way of doing this is not really right. If he become a success tomorrow, probably in Music Industry,they will claim he is one of their product.

Oh.. cos they banned you for sagging your old dirty trousers with ur dirty boxers like some touts around campus, right?

Or maybe they allow their students graduate in 3-4years like their counterparts abroad?

The private universities set up by churches are meant to serve both as an educational institution and a centres for moral reform.
If they have to expel students who are 'morally deficient' without first making very serious attempts to reform them, that's the highest level of hypocrisy.

Such a shameful representation of a Christian institution that ought to flow with grace and mercy. I mean would Jesus have expelled the guy if the university were personally His? How would you dictate to a guy probably above 18 years what he should or should not watch on his very own laptop and you claim you are educating him? well you are rather indoctrinating him. We should thank God that it is not these same people that run these systems that invented most of what makes life easier for us today, we could have been in for something really nasty. Anyway I always express my pity for graduates of privately owned universities, because they have much more to unlearn and relearn unlike their counterpart in government universities. The real world they are preparing you for is not run by the militant discipline you were prepared under, and for your information, discipline is a personal strength, so you don't try to impose yours on another person.

The best result "intimidation" can produce is "morons"...The least result "freedom" can produce is "reasonable/intelligent people".A lot of young Africans may not be able to understand the power of freedom because of the mental, psychological and cultural chains that were placed on us in our formative years.

It is not important to me whether the boy wins the case or not...When people understand their rights and are willing to challenge "perceived violation" of such rights....that itself is the real victory!

The university has said what they want. They give it to everyone in a handbook, you sign everything saying you will abide by the rules, and then you offend and think you won't be punished? If you do not like the rules, do not attend the school, wait 10years for JAMB.
Also, for regularisation of these rules, that is the government's Job. They should provide higher laws from making these schools make such funny laws.
Most importantly, if the government cannot provide schools for its citizenry. then they should BACK OFF!!!

Which law are u talking about?
The school rules contravens the provisions of the 1999 constitution as stated below and thus its a nullity and can not stand.

1. (1) This Constitution is supreme and its provisions shall have binding force on the authorities and persons throughout the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

(3) If any other law is inconsistent with the provisions of this Constitution, this Constitution shall prevail, and that other law shall, to the extent of the inconsistency, be void.

I'm sure he was also not given a fair hearing and wasn't allowed to even seek for other admnistrative remedies hence he has a very valid case and besides he is not a coward like most of us here who believe that he can't win the case!
The case of Ahmed and others vs university of maidugury comes to mind.
The comment from the judge gives one a clue of what to expect and its obviously in the applicants favour.

Even gani took NBA to court over adminstrative issues and still won talkless of school rules that negates the constitutional provisions.
