Hey!... Where have you been?

have been around Hun.... How have you been

Hahahaha... Reading through all these comments I can't help but laugh really loud, seriously some nairalanders need mouth cleansing or finger washing sef.

OP, it's normal for your dad to be upset jare, you will do same when you become a parent too. I trust my dad, he really knows how to push us - his children, very hard just to see us shine bright.

My advise, you know your dad's kind of person then you should not have told him about the course you failed. One of my friends who had an extra course to write after we graduated simply told her dad that her result was missing and that she needed to go back to school and sort it out. It's not like they give report card in the university na. Anyway, you have told him and the man is angry, apologise and put in your best effort and study to make him proud.

Again, I say it is normal for him to say such stuff, don't just fail the course again and he will be happy again

for d fact dat u spill does not mk u a failure cos of course u not a failure......just focus on rewriting d course and pass,cos if u lose focus now and kip tinkin abt ur dad it can affect ur performance

Hey Nairalanders, your advice and kind words might help me to get through with this challenge I'm having.
I graduated from the university early this year, immediately after my graduation my alma mata embarked on a 5months strike. As a result of this, I moved to lagos to enroll in a fashion and design academy, with the hope that immediately after the strike, we'll get our result and go for NYSC. The going was good until I received my result with a spill. I had just a course to rewrite, I thought the school will wave it since it was just one course so I decided to work it out but that didn't work. This resulted with me been left out when some of my mates are already in camp now. The feeling is devastating.
Now, I'm back home to rewrite the course. My father is really angry with, he said I've brought shame upon him and myself and he'll never forgive me. According to him, he has never failed in his life so why would I? He's making it look as if he sent me to school and I just played with his money. I feel like a failure and disappointment. I don't know what to do...feel like running away cos this man is terrible!!

Don't be so downhearted. Most people who participated in NYSC are still jobless.

Success does not come overnight. Life is not all rosy sometimes. God'll see you through in difficult times.

Sorry dear, I pray God changes your Dad's heart and make him understand you had no intentions of disappointing him

Dont worry about it man.

OP Don't let his words get to you too much.
Fathers will always have something to say.
For example, when i was in sec school, my dad threatened me fire and brimstone if i don't get admission on my first trial.
Now i'm in my finals and he is threatening same if i don't graduate with first class.

So OP,take it easy with him...i can't wait for the day i'll hand him the keys to a new mansion and remind him of his talk

Parents and some gullible students do over rate that NYSC.

I am having similar ish but i hav addressed that with my parents but some friends nd mates are making it look lik i took the wrong step cos i secured a gud job upon graduation.

sholay2011:
God have mercy.

hmmmm

sonofananimal:
don't try to please that man. I'm sure that man will be beating her mother because he his so full of pride.

Don't say what you don't know about,not every one that failed ,failed because of unseriousness.If your own uni days was rosy thank God for it and keep it to yourself.

Take him to TRIBUNAL

He's a joke. Do ur thing Jare

Good example of my affirmation that age or marriage has nothing to do with maturity. Ya papa na small boy and I think he might have very tame wife and children or else, let him prepare for devastation when real-life issues come up, not this JOKE. I feel like crying about my life when I read that some people call what you describe a problem. Good luck with your life but keep hoping life does not show itself to you or ya papa

My dear don't be deterred even a bit, parents seem to overreact sometimes, this is same certificate that has little value these days. You even had the initiative to learn a hands-on craft during the time lapse your school had. Am yet to see anything so abysmal about carrying over just a course in a Nigerian university, if your school is far away from home, you might want to stay away from home a little, if you no longer have a place in school am sure you have friends in the lower levels, ur popsy would definitely realize he went too hard on you, he'll mellow down.

Romanciella:
have been around Hun.... How have you been

But I've not been seeing your posts.

I'm fine, Thank you. Hope you're doing well?

mykel231:
You're an idiot for refering to your dad as "this man"!On the other hand,he's angry because he believed in you so much and you let him down.It's very normal.He'll forgive you when you make him realize failing a course does not really make you a failure.Though,he's wrong for the comparison.Meanwhile,were you among those co habbiting while in school?That must've lead to your failure.

Your words are harsh, but I'll let it pass... People like you don't deserve attention.

Panzerfaust:
Failure? No wonder most Nigerian youths lack the sense to take initiatives for themselves.You people spend your entire lives living in the shadow of your parent's dreams. Then when you are 50 with a life full of regrets, you will be looking for someone to blame. It is only in Nigeria that a 20-something yr old will still be hovering around his parent's house waiting for thier input in every stage of life.

...ok ooo. He can live his life the way he wants it....

Sorry to say this but you have a d1ck head as a father.

Common miss!! What do you expect? To hug and kiss you for your spill over? Forget it already and move on, he will even get hotter if you fail that one paper left. As for his threats? Relax he will get over it soon.

engrjacuzzi:
is your dad known? the way he just lied is obviously an issue to ponder on.

He's a well known man in the society, that's why it's hard for him to take.

CuckoldMaster:

Excuse me? That's rather mean of you and besides almost all parent react that way when they (the parents) are already having great thoughts of the daughter serving. You never can tell this lady in question must have started her year one with good grades only to shock her dad at the end with a spill-over, my thoughts thou!!!

chibuikegn:
Take him to TRIBUNAL

Hahahahahahahahahaha!!! Funny you and then after to appeal court abi? Funny guy

Don't even make the mistake of running away from home, it may get worst. Stay home, stay cool and calm and then prove him wrong with your results. Is normal how your father reacted, he might have boosted to some friends that her daughter will be going for service this month. But not to worry, your father will get over it and do NOT argue with him. Go back to him and tell him "I'm sorry" that all. If you move out of the house because he scold you, you just creating a scene for yourself. Some friends might advice you into engaging yourself into what you don't wanna be

my dear, to be sad is very normal likewise ur dad being angry.
true survivors have failed at one time or the other. they all went back to their draw boards and re-strategised.
while your dad feels your are a failure, focus all ur energy at rewriting the course and passing it.
don't run away from home.
your dad will calm down soonest. i wonder why so much importance is attached to NYSC.
a lot of graduates burst NYSC for MSc abroad nowadays(most especially if they are on scholarships)
lol daddy should calm down oooo, usually all parents claim to have first position in class during their school days.

sorry o...

that's d mentality affecting we Africans... just cos you didn't make it to service this year doesn't mean you won't progress..
Just try ur best to be somebody... 'actions my friend speaks faster than words'... he himself will forget he ever made such statement when you're comfortable..

cheer up

Ask him this question "Isn't dangote n Danjuma dem his mates?

If ur dad says he has never failed he is a big liar.

Don't be scared because you just did the needful by breaking dad's unbroken record.. Cheer up.. You've broken dad's record and you deserve an applaud.. Make sure u pass the paper and move on.. Cheers! All the best....

I spent 8yrs in skul doing a 5yr course. My siblings and even my twin sis graduated served and married. Am just going for service now. My advice for you is this CHILL. Yea you're in a bad place right now but you've taken the bold step of facing it by rewriting your course. I absconded for a yr lol. It'll pass just keep your head down and do what you have to. You'll even be surprised to see many people like you.
