Former President Olusegun Obasanjo and son having a swell time together.
In a simple illustration, the boy asked his father why would he be supporting Atiku Abubakar of all candidates. And Obasanjo jokingly said “if Nigerians are wise, I wrote two books on Atiku and said several things about him, if my sudden change which is less than 6 months would overwrite my position of years then Nigerians are the problem of this nation, not politicians.”

The son couldn't withstand it, he had to hug his father for a brilliant analysis...!!!

Is this school a Kindergarten, primary, secondary or University school


They still going to conduct virginity test for them

Does conducting a drug test make a university a lesser school?

70% of Nigerian university students can't do without drugs, so they should forget about that drug test of a thing unless they want their school to be empty.

First of all, where is the burnt hostel?
Secondly, it's wrong in a respect for the students to have taken that step, they will pay. I mean, it's just suspension. Were they expecting the school to clap for them for testing positive to drugs?

Such test is not needed in a university, Its an intrusion to their privacy. Like I said, They are adults

The primary objective is academic excellence.

No. It won't be their personal decision.

If they look like suspected drug addicts then the school has the right to round them up and get them tested. This only sounds fair considering the fact that they can be suspended only on the basis of strong suspicion.

The school wants students and not drug addicts.

What are you saying?

This is not malaria test we are talking about.

You think a drug addict will voluntarily come forward for a test?

They obviously have been constituting nuisance hence the pressure to get them tested.

An addict who has committed a crime and still academically vibrant that he has not been expelled due to poor performance?


If I would agree with you, then a virginity test also needs to be done as their are sex addicts amongs them. And also, a sight test cos some of them are addicted to video games which could have affected their eyes

Am I making sense? The school needs all those facts too

Academically vibrant you say? I can see they must really be on fire. Burning up everything they touch.


If they students were positive and peaceful ,no one would bother them.

When their attitude starts becoming a threat to other persons then the society has a right to put you in check

Some employers of labour do ask for drug tests....

For example...one Nigerian who got a job with PETRONAS (the Malaysian oil company, major player in the oil business)...wasasked to do a drug test

Of course most don't,but some do.

Well,I can assure you that this news not all true.
Less than 50 were sent home,after failing dope test,then the few bad ones wanted to cause mayhem because of this. Mattresses were burnt inside a room,and the fire was extinguished by the staffs before it caused further-hostel wasn't burnt. The new administration is seriously doing all within dr power to purge the school, so it will be a peaceful place for serious ones and corrective haven for those that are willing to change.All the same what happened was not as bad as it is portrayed by the op.

Well, schools in the real sense are NOT only concerned about academic performance! In fact academic comes SECOND in the purpose schools are established! Producing MORALLY UPRIGHT products comes first. If you are a graduate, go and check your certificate. You will see that the certificate was awarded after finding you both morally and academically qualified. The academics is second. So some private schools are now paying attention to the moral aspect which most schools have abandoned

I wonder if you really grasp the import of what you just said? "if they look like suspected drug addicts"
so, how do suspect drug addicts look like?
what empirical evidence do you look out for to suspect someone of drug use or drug addiction?
whose function is it to suspect students of drug use or misuse?
what drugs are they going to be looking for?
opiods ,
Analgesics,
Hypnotics,
stimulants,
Amphetamines,
cannabis? etc.
Did you tell the students at the point of admission that at any time during the school period, they can be rounded up like common criminals and subjected to a humiliating drug use test at the instance of a paranoid schizophrenic masquerading as a vice chancellor or students affairs officer ?
How can you support such an invasion of young people's privacy , but feel outraged when police officers ask you to open your phone or laptop for search.
By your own analogy, if you look like a thief or kidnapper , you should be subjected to any search as deemed necessary by security agents.
Be careful of this table that you are shaking, "no be only Bowen university students tanda on top sooo"

These boys probably know what they are doing, they refused but didn't fail... They probably engaged in this act to buy time for the drugs to leave their body system in a couple of days before appealing and agreeing to the test which might come back negative then.

Academic excellence is the SECOND objective! The main objective of schools is to produce morally upright graduands!
Else, why are students expelled for fighting, exam malpractice, stealing and other forms of immoral behaviours?

Of course most don't,but some do.
Drug tests before admission or employment is in order.
Drug tests when under arrest or criminal investigation is also in order.
summary, irrational and spontaneous demand for drug tests without a direct cause is not in order.
You can't raise free and independent young men like that.
