No offence but if someone were to go by how you write they would have a hard time believing Covenant is a good school. You should be protraying your school in a good light instead of writing like you went to some bush polytechnic.

Look, i never even failed English, lol

Besides, Everyone knows that Net-Speak like SMS-Speak is allowed

Man, I know english more than my many white colleagues, who know no other language. In fact when I went back home I found that my cousins in the city used more sophisticated lingua when they were not speaking pidgin english. I find that even the British, the founders of english, cannot even speak the bloody lanuage properly, and us Urban Canadians can write and speak it the bes  |

It's the lingua franca of Nigeria so the "well it's not my mother's tongue" is a terrible excuse. It's not MY native tongue either, doesnt mean you shouldnt know how to write in it correctly.
and SMS talk is for children, not soon to be graduates like yourself.

Olodo , besides most Canadians speak French Dont be dissing the Brits, they know what they are saying, it's Americans and co that ruin everything  |

How can I not know english? As per Canadians speaking french that is only one province in Quebec. And if you go to Montreal it basically bilingual.
The British don't even pronouce certain letters like T for "insance".

give Nigeria teachers garri and they will lie about anything. Same way I get on your ass about your English, you do the same about my location. Feels good doesnt it? Point is this was a discussion about school rules, just because we feel the need to voice our opinions about them doesnt mean you have to be obnoxious. Calling us "odes" and co isnt going to change our opinions. I'm sure those schools are good as I have friends who attend them, I just personally find the rules to be retarded and having no bearing on academic knowledge.  |

Convenant University Or Babcock University and as i know it, CU is * i have friends who went to BU, so i know about BU* |

you started it by questioning Mystique's remark like she didnt have a right to her opinion.
anyway of course you're going to say CU is better since you go there. BU still gets alot of praises from people, it did when I was in Nigeria last which was summer 2005, anyway.
