NL1960: A school says this is our policy and if you are not satisfied with it, take your child to another school. After all, there are several schools that will meet what you need. A school does not have to conform to what you want. As you say, this is fvcking 2016 and i want my boy to sag his trousers and i want my girl to do a Rihanna or a Beyonce or a Jennifer Aniston.
When wearing of casual clothes as normal daily wear were abolished in the Unity schools then as a part of a policy and replaced with check shirts, some parents did not like it as they wanted their kids to always wear the latest fashion trends in school. So, they removed their kids from the Unity schools to schools that were allowing wearing of causal clothes of any type. QED.
Btw, i have a cousin who removed his daughter because of this low cut of hair and took her to the one that allows plaiting of hair. The space she vacated was quickly taken by a parent who was comfortable with the policy.
NL1960: Every organization (a school is also an organization) has its policy. If you are not fine with the policy, you are not forced to go there or put your child there. Will you also say say that there is absolutely nothing wrong in letting a boy sag his trousers in school or tuck-in his shirt and that a school that says that is making a stupid policy. There is what is called a dress code and having a low cut is part of a dress code. In some schools, a hair style is given to the girls at the end of the week for which every student that is not on a low cut has to adhere to. Is that also a stupid policy because a school is not allowing you to braid or plait your own hair style?.
What are you on about. How the fvck does plaiting or styling one's hair compare to sagging?
Again, what is the business of a school in dictating what hairstyle to plait? To what end?
People need to understand their priorities and get serious! This is fvcking 2016!!!
There's nothing wrong in parking by the roadside, there's however sth wrong with not being able to pay or not knowing who to pay to or worst still areas where roadside parking is not allowed.
Here you never park on double yellow lines unless you're disabled and have a blue badge. And there are time restrictions for parking on single lines. There are parking machines that issue tickets which you paste on your vehicle for wardens to check when they go round too. Residents use special permits.
So the Lagos state government must now go ahead and do the right thing. Mark roads, deploy parking ticket machines and educate their wardens on enforcement.
I was having my lunch when I saw that front-page thread yesterday. I was shedding tears and the oyinbo girl beside me was wondering why. I couldn't show her because I'd be too embarrassed and she might tell someone who'd use it to ridicule another innocent black person tomorrow. I had to excuse myself.
Humans, why are you people so wicked? Especially the ones that claim to be religious. Among them is this perished soul called pastor and his ilks, others are ISIL and boko haram. Wicked, Devilish, in need of extermination!
Two, even before this time, I have always recommend two kids. We already have a population explosion issue. A lot of kids are unnecessarily born into poverty. Part of the issue in the north and middle east is uncontrolled births and failed parenting.
Start with two, if you become more prosperous later on in life have more or adopt a child to better his/her lot.
OrangeDream: I can see that you need help.. I'm not a low lifer like you.. You are a disease.. If i don't reply your next comment, its because you are truly a DISEASE!!!
All these brainless fvckers have totally taken over nairaland spreading hate and animosity, which will definitely get taken out offline while Seun and his mods standby watching. If it is not already been done just now.
It appears you don't know the long term effects of this you do and condone?
Some people are complaining that it is expensive. Lol. This is latest flagship to come out of Leipzig. Many British will forgo their citizenship to have one. But the start-stop feature is not new to bimmers though. Cool AF.
ayobase: Of course, some Nigerians are not helping matter.
An average typical Nigerian is a cheat.
And the same set of of corrupt persons will be the first shouting "corruption", "kill him", "where is fuel and tire", "prosecute him"...
Imagine, a company buys electricity worth of N50m from transmission, but more than 50% of the customers bypass. And the company is expected to make interest from the cost price of N50m. There must be estimated billing to make up.
A bypassing customer who consumes about N15,000 worth of electricity per month, but being billed just N2,500. How is the Company expected to make up for the outstanding N12,500.
And the ones that bypass most are the pre-paid metre owners, because they are not monitored often. Even those with analog metre no dey carry last.
The customers with analog meters pay for about 30%, while customers without metre pay about 70% of the outstanding.
In this case, Nigerians and the Companies have a lot to work on.
My guy, no be by force to use air conditioner(s)n not plates and the likes if you know you can't pay for the service. Fan, gas cooker or kerosene stove and the likes will do as well.
Power sectors had really decayed before being privatized.
As some people do say that it is not possible for Buhari to make right the wrong of PDP's mis-ruling for the past 16 years, so the same people should exercise patience with this present Discos, cos it is virtually impossible to make right the wrong of about 30 years in years to come.
N.B
please, if you have paid for pre-paid metre in the last 3 months and not given, you have the choice if not paying for electricity.
And always do endeavour to report any corrupt "NEPA" official to the nearby office.
You're right. However, it is the duty of the Discos to detect such theft and call the police so as to bring such persons to book. If one electricity thief is arrested and goes to jail for tampering with government property, others will firm up.
It is however unfortunate that they'd rather just issue estimated bills because it will ultimately fetch them more, theft or not.
WTF is Fashola doing? Send these electricity thieves to jail already!
Who is Kolawole Nathaniel Onadipe? Spoiler: He is a proud Ijebuman, just like myself
Kola Onadipe was born in Ijebu-Ode, Ogun state, Nigeria. He was born into a polygamous family and was the second son of his mother. Onadipe studied Law at the University of London in 1949 and later opened a law firm with his close friend Abraham Adesanya. He had fifteen children, seven boys and eight girls, to whom he dedicated his life and ensured they excelled in achieving acceptable academic status. He died at the age of sixty-six after he suffered a stroke on 4 December 1988. He is buried at his residential home in Ogbogbo, Ijebu-Ode, Nigeria.
He was the Principal of Olu-Iwa College (one of the four major High Schools in Ijebu-Ode in the late 40's, the 50's and early 60's). He was a staunch disciplinarian and kept the school in top level academic and moral flavor. His popular expression was "You go" which meant that if he caught you being a truant, you will be expelled regardless of who your parents might be. He was well respected by the proprietor of the school, Chief Timothy Adeola Odutola.
Boys from all over Nigeria who were admitted to the college became great men under him and went to higher institutions of learning both at home and abroad to become greater leaders and professionals in life. They are too many to mention or list.

What a fantastic book that was. I still have a copy.
This reminds me of Robert Ageh Wellesley Cole's "Kossoh town boy". What a legend. It made me wish Sierra Leone could be part of Nigeria. I could understand their creole formed from pidgin English and Yoruba. I'll visit there and Gambia when next I'm home.
Ah, "weep not, child" too by Ngugi Wa Thiong'o is another great work that resonated with me.
