College and University are the same.  They are both institutions of higher learning and are not a part of High School.   Cheesy

People hide their age to achieve certain things like get a job, join a football team ,take part in a beauty pageant, or in order to become a model etc.
What i have noticed of late is that the suppose younger girls look so much older than their ages. An 18 year old could pass for a 23 yr old. So even when she says her real age, no one will believe. I have a 20 year old cousin, when we are together people call her madam and just ignore the hell out of me. When she states her name, everyone will be like please spare us. Yet she is is truly 20. so she just says shes 23 to avoid the embarrassment of being told that she looks older than her age.

Hide your age to get married? How sad is that?
I've said the last person to lie to is your would-be spouse because he/she would eventually find out and that could make matters worse than status quo.

Why the need to hide your age? If you are sure of yourself, go ahead, announce your age and let your mind be at rest. What of if your exact age is found out later, how would you feel.

Layi boy,

How u dey? Was 35yrs on 2nd May this year. So what's up about that.

Look at my picture very well, you'ld see that my facial look does not match up with my age, because I look like a typical under 20.

What if you have to travel urgently or do something very important and your age is slightly above or below the age range required? Roll Eyes

Then you are not supposed to travel. Otherwise use legal means...appeal (with genuine reasons why u have to be allowed).
