It is not enough to always brandish we the youth as victims and as guilty.

Just as it is the right thing for the school's authority to suspend the students involved, it is also important for the leaders to tell themselves the truth that they are the cause.

Come February elections, they should not collect bribe to rig elections in favour of the same people that put all of us in this mess.

Cause, if they always collect money to favour bad leaders, one day their children will be the victims of ritualist...God forbid.

You go try dey calm down, there is nothing diabolic about the ritual. Try googling the meaning of ritual before tagging the topic as satanic. The ritual is done by kids and illiterates, they pour water on you on your birthday believing that it would bring blessings. It's just a dumb idea and it has no satanic roots. You could join them as well it's totally harmless for an illiterate.

So why the Suspension by the University, Pls? Go tell the VC and the Committee that, it is a harmless Ceremony, Pls

Imagine if a jealous person there has acid in the bucket instead of water.

Some actually use dirty water on people
Right! Exactly what happened in YABATECH about 10 years ago. A girl went blind when colleagues claimed to have poured her water on her birthday. Eventually it was discovered to be some chemical.
She was taken to the health centre&then referred to LUTH. The parents took her abroad &all.
She's still blind.
It was in d news.

One must be willing to participate in a particular ritual to be part of it. You can’t just pour water on someone because you’ve been doing it to other people.

If the lady didn’t give her consent to the ritual, I think that constitutes bullying or assault.

Horse shiit , what gender violence, the teenagers being predated by heavily built sex bullies in calabar villages are still not arrested or tracked down and she's looking for gender protection from happy students who just want to partake in a campus ritual , she should stop birthday partied because it exposes women to age ridicule and gender abuse

The height at which the devil is deceiving and destroying young folks in the Name of one devilish Nonsense or the other is alarming.

So many young men and ladies are being led astray.
Many others are sent to their graves and quickly to Hell due to engaging in one satanic scheme or the other.

Listen young men and Ladies,
There is a way that looks balling, hopping and sweet, the End is Destruction !

There is Life after Death.

I strongly support what the school authority has done. What sort of nonsense celebration or baptism is that?

Some would pour oily kitchen waste water on fellow students simply because they are newbies. Totally unacceptable.

How about buying a cup of coffee for the newbie and introducing him/her to Christ?

Having said that..
Great Malabites!!!

Please can someone explain what exactly this water ritual is? It's really irritating when one posts a story like this about students being suspended over a "water ritual" and doesn't even care to give the readers insight on what the so called water ritual is all about. Poor journalism!

This is why I insist women should not be given some strategic leadership roles such as vice chancellor, company CEO or high political role. because they are obsessed with power and with so much ego, they mismanage power. They are highly judgemental on gender based issues. Even though some students behave uncultured, but there are other ways to curtail their excesses other than using indefinite suspension. Come to FUTO, you'd see how the female VC has damaged the reputation of FUTO, by honouring a terrorist with PhD and doing nothing notable and remarkable since she assumed the position.

Actually, the University of Calabar passed circulars and memos to all departments upon resumption of schools after the ASUU strike, banning the water ritual always engaged in during graduations, matriculations, birthdays or any occasions whatsoever.

Hence, these students defied that directive with this act. So it's no longer business as usual. Nigerians need to learn to adhere to laws and instructions. We too stubborn for this country!
When was this memo passed sir? Cos last i checked it was after this act that the management sprung into action

That shit had to be stopped. I’ve seen people dragged into mud under the guise of ‘usual pouring of water’ and bathed all sorts of ‘water’. It’s madness, they should think of better innovative ways to celebrate, they’re students.

You did not even bother to read and understand the news before you started your preaching. Read the article first. The water ritual they are referring to here is just a social activity; not fetish.

their mama is feeding them and FG is heavily subsidizing them. Why won't they misbehave?
These are the great Nigerian Students that will protest wildly if fees are increased and Japa if FG won't give them N400k secure jobs to continue the foolery.
