Says who?
What if she has a sensible boyfriend who helped her to maintain her mental and emotional stability?

In a young lady’s life, a man either comes in to make or mar.

Your submission lacks merits.
People, generally come into your life either to make or mar.
This girl doesn't look like those girls who chase boys for either money or to boost their self-esteem.

A girl that will achieve such academic success is focused on making her life better not making her pvssy wider like many campus girls.

Funny country where people are rewarded handsomely for exhibiting foolishness and depravity while intellectuals are less considered or even given peanut for great feat.

I doubt if she get DAT 500k self...maybe 100k and they call news agency to come cover the event so they can ask how she achieved it since we doubt good things in dis country n reward it in a little way!!¡!!

You are not making sense. I am pretty sure I must have been engaging a secondary school student from what I just quoted now. Please give the phone to your elders to read what you just typed so that they can reorientate you.

If you ever attended a very good university, you would have seen girls who were in a relationship and still finished brilliantly.
What is the relationship between having a boyfriend and the nonsense in bold?

Calm down.
It's not up to this.
How was your night?

Presidential hopeful General Wesley Clark says the White House devised a five-year plan after the 9/11 strikes to attack seven majority-Muslim countries.

A former commander of NATO’s forces in Europe, Clark claims he met a senior military officer in Washington in November 2001 who told him the Bush administration was planning to attack Iraq first before taking action against Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Iran, Somalia and Sudan.

The general’s allegations surface in a new book, The Clark Critique, excerpts from which appear in the latest edition of the US magazine Newsweek.

Clark says after the 11 September 2001 attacks, many Bush administration officials seemed determined to move against Iraq, invoking the idea of state sponsorship of terrorism, “even though there was no evidence of Iraqi sponsorship of 9/11 whatsoever”.

Ousting Saddam Hussein promised concrete, visible action, the general writes, dismissing it as a “Cold War approach”.

Clark criticises the plan to attack the seven states, saying it targeted the wrong countries, ignored the “real sources of terrorists”, and failed to achieve “the greater force of international law” that would bring wider global support.

He also condemns George Bush’s notorious Axis of Evil speech made during his 2002 State of the Union address. “There were no obvious connections between Iraq, Iran, and North Korea,” says Clark.
