hey people, I need to hear your views on this issue. I have a friend who just graduated two weeks ago and is awaiting his nysc call up in November. his dad however has told him that once he leaves for posting after camp, he's not to return to the house again except on visits. he should go start his life. its funny though and I want to know what you all think.

Thats a great decision by the dad. He's a man now so let him fess up. He should be lucky he was allowed to stay till he finished school, in other climes, he would have been shown the way out the day he turned 18.
As for me, immediately I finish school, Im moving cross-country. Even though Im still planning it sha but there's no way I will go stay in my Parents house after NYSC.

The father's choice. It is his house!
I do not like such a decision and I would never do such a thing, but I respect it.

The father is being forethoughtful and it is to the boy's advantage IMO. In truth,I don't think the man would throw his son out as threatened. It is a line meant to spur the boy to do all he can to be independent before completion of the NYSC program and if I were the boy,that's what I'll do-"all I can" as long as it doesn't bother around anything criminal and I'll let that statement be one that keeps me going all through the service year.

Op if i were to be the guy, i'll be the happiest on planet earth. Why?
NO PRESSURE!! And when your under no pressure, your bound to do everything with relaxed mind.

The dad is simply encouraging his son to 'fly' the nest and find his own two feet in the big, bad world.
