Fellow Nairalanders I need a clear difference between this two posers....

What is the difference between 'Living a fake life' and 'Packaging'?

What if I told you that 'Packaging' as used in this context and 'Fake-life' has no difference?
What if I told you that 'packaging' in this context is a 'cover up slang' for fake life.
If we are all against somebody or people living fake lives, then we should be against packaging. This is because the both entails being whom you are not.
A friend of mine Miss Jules is of the opinion that living a fake life entails telling of lies while the other doesn't. But I disagree.

Dictionary.com defined lies to be:
1. A false statement made with deliberate intent to
deceive; an intentional untruth; a falsehood.

2. Something intended or serving to convey a false impression; imposture:

I will not bother you with the dictionary definition of 'packaging'. It is simply a verb for the word package which no dictionary links it with the context of which it is used today by this entertainment generation.

Using the definitions I garnered from my friends as a case study, I noticed this special kind of stress on the idea of fake life. Which shows that everybody hates people living fake lives but gives a thumb on packaging.
It is almost a wise saying for us to hate packaging just as much as we hate fake lives.
Because its either you are REAL or you are FAKE.
In conclusion, if you postulate that packaging is cool, then you are guilty of living a fake life!!!

Campus cults have become the most potent
cause of insecurity in the institution of higher
learning. It is elevating the challenges facing
the average students to new and dangerous
levels.
Several reports showed that between 1997 to
2012 hundreds of students were expelled or
suspended from their various institutions,
while some were arrested and detained by law
enforcement agencies and subsequently
charged and prosecuted.
However, there is no doubt that institution
such as Bayero University, Kano , have
uprooted this evil practice, thereby
encouraging more students to enrol into the
institution.
Cultism in Nigerian institutions plays a major
role in increasing the level of thugs’ activities
among Nigerian youths. They damage public
property deliberately without
any fear because they believe that their
association or group will protect them from
any persecution that may befall them.
Strange marks in the body of student also
shows sign of membership of cults
association, therefore, parents should take
good care of their children.
A cultist shows no respect to constituted
authorities, because he always thinks that he
can overpower everybody, that’s why you will
see many people or students doing
what they like at any place they like.
Students, who lack the confidence to face the
rigors and challenges of academic work, seek
refuge from cult groups in order to obtain
favourable grades through intimidation and
blackmail of lecturers.
These students lack the belief in their own
ability to do things and be successful. But
some parents don’t give good attention to
their children. While their children bring home
with them bad behaviours that the
parents should investigate, they just turn blind
eyes to them.
On the other hand, some parents are
working so hard to see that they persuade
their children to shun cultism and violent acts
in general.
But since most of the students that are
studying in tertiary institutions, most
especially universities, are
staying in the campus, they find it difficult to
regulate the behaviours of their children.
Lack of parental care and lack of monitoring
contribute immensely to the existence of vices
in the society.
The reasons behind the involvement of some
students into cult group are to avoid
harassment and intimidation by other cultists
and to be regarded as super stars or high
flyers. Male cultists believe that no
female student on campus can resist or refuse
their love advances and some also
erroneously believe that they must pass their
examinations, whether they work hard or not.
Of course, others join cult groups because
they were officially asked to leave the
institution, after all the sufferings they
experienced and hard work from primary
school to the higher institution.
Cultist families are always in state of danger
because at any time the member of that group
can be requested to sacrifice one of
his family members.
Moral education should begin at home. In
other words, the role of parents, especially
mothers, is crucial in the proper upbringing
of their children. Some young people pick up
bad habits like smoking, alcohol consumption
and promiscuous life styles from home.
Children from broken homes are
victims or particularly vulnerable in matters of
this nature.
The primary and secondary schools the boys
and girls attend before they go to the
university have a role to play in ordering the
scale of presences of their students, too. It
is advisable for all students, lecturers, parents
and government to join hands in fighting this
menace by working together to bring up
worthy and morally upright children
who would lead our country in the future.

Gameup:
Well said

All I see here are freaking d'banj fans, the truth is that when they both split into two we expected their challenge to be in the music scene but because one of them made the other what he is as a musician he couldn't establish himself as a SOLO artist, he wanted to be CEO like Don Jazzy with his useless Lee Family.

In conclusion, all his music plans and label was null and void while Don Jazzy was Flourishing with better talents, the other diverted to business to establish himself.

it was late in the night. I was in my half lit
room,studying with my candle. For some
reason, I felt a strange presence, like 'something'
was hovering around but I wasn't going to be
distracted, I had a lot to cover before the exams I
was to have the next morning. I was seated on
my plastic chair, my table faced to the wall,
backing my door.
Just then, I heard my door knob click and the
door began to slide open, slowly. The door made
a
lazy yawning sound as it rolled on it's hinges. A
gust of the chill uli wind blew in, troubling my
candle light temporarily.
Whoever or whatever had opened my door,
wasn't about to close it and I wasn't about to
turn
around to find out who, either. I was bent over
the
table and had my eyes focused on my books.
But
at this time, truth be told, I wasn't really seeing
any words in my books, only blank pages.
People
sometimes describe it as being calmly scared.
"Thud!" Something dropped. I jerked.
I grabbed my Nokia phone, turned on the
torchlight and swung round to see who or what
was disturbing my peace. I saw Ogute Godwin,
my activist neighbour, had collapsed, he had his
back to door, his legs spread apart and his head
tilting to his left shoulders. His lips seemed to
move, but I could not make out any words. He
had embarked on a hunger strike to protest the
hike in school fees. It was his day five (5)
without
water or food. All our pleading with him to go
about his activism some other way had failed-
he
was a headstrong young man and had assured
us
solemnly: "I'm not backing down ever...I'm the
captain who sinks with the ship!" It was a
profound Martin Luther King Jnr moment!
I rushed to him to see if he was alright. Maybe
he
had seen a ghost.he looked particularly pale.
As I tried to take his right hand to check for a
pulse, his hand suddenly clasped mine tightly
and
seemed to pull. I looked at his eyes, they held
what I imagined would be deep messages from
his soul. Godwin always had profound words.
His
lips quivered a bit, I knew he wanted to speak so
I
leaned in and put my ear close to hear his
words.
They were strained and lightly spoken in between
pauses.
"chike...A chick...that will grow into a cock, can
be spotted the day it is born..." Then he seemed
to fall asleep.
I shook him and called out his name as he was
slipping from consciousness. He came to, again
and spoke.
"I think...I have better ideas...on how to fight the
authorities...Jesus already died for us all, no
need
for me to try to steal his glory, by dying. Kindly
arrange gala and lacasera for me, abeg!

Aluta is a word generated from Portugal and
its meaning is generally understood by, at
least, 90% of Nigerian universities’ students.
Literally, it means “struggle”.
But in the academic world, it comprises of
constructs like: struggle for good
performance, struggle for rights, and struggle
for political recognition among
others.
Gone were the days when these
strugglesvwere very active and interesting.
Students then can go to any length in
achieving a
collective goal. There is no individuality when
it comes to such struggle.
The National Association of Nigerian Students
(NANS) was very active in opposing the then
military and civilian heads of state, especially
when they
introduced a policy considered not in
students’ interest or favour.
In different institutions, there is the Students’
Union Government (SUG) or the Students’
Representative Council (SRC) as in the case of
Ahmadu Bello University (ABU),
Zaria. These bodies serve as the mouthpiece
of students, through which they express their
minds and feelings.
Nowadays, the situation has changed. The
bodies have, in many institutions, become
unscrupulously weakened due mainly to the
high level of corruption in all spheres of the
country, including the education sector.
Therefore, there is the need for the students’
bodies to return to the old aluta ways to
protect rights of the students which are now,
more than before, threatened by the
retrogressive policies of the government.

A student, identified as Julius (surname

depended on passing his exams via miracle
centres, allegedly poisoned the exam
syndicate who was said to have introduced
him to the miracle centre.
Reports said that Julius, a dropout from one of
the popular secondary schools in Asaba
(name withheld), in his quest to make his
school certificate and become a graduate, was
said to have been introduced to the operators
of the miracle centre who allegedly gave him a
bill of N80,000 for both exams with 100 per
cent assurance.
But this was not to be when Julius who had
reportedly lost both parents and has been
living with an uncle, after selling off some of
the properties to pay the bills, had the two
results in F9s.
It was further gathered that in the wake of the
exams, the miracle centre operator who
was alleged to be a ‘friend of the police,
following his illicit and involvement in various
crimes, was said to have enrolled over 60
candidates from Asaba and it's environs from
where the state government through the task
force on examination
malpractices as well as miracle centres.

The deadly Ebola Virus Disease has reportedly found its way to Spain after a nurse who treated a victim of the disease in Madrid tested positive for EVD.

This was made known on Monday by the Spanish health minister, Ana Mato, who also
revealed that the nurse is the first person in the current outbreak known to have contracted Ebola outside Africa continent, CNN reports.

According Mato, the nurse was among the team that treated Spanish priest Manuel Garcia Viejo, who died on September 25, 2014, in the hospital Carlos III de Madrid after catching
Ebola in Sierra Leone.

The health minister said the woman developed symptoms on September 30, adding that she was not hospitalized until this week because her only symptom was a fever.

“We are working in coordination to give the
best care to the patient and to guarantee the safety of all citizens,” Mato said.
The health official who assured that the nurse is in a stable condition as she had been admitted to hospital in Alcorcon, near Madrid. He said
doctors have isolated the emergency treatment room because of the patient. He further revealed that the infection was confirmed by two tests.

The health minister also disclosed that an investigation is under way to find everyone the nurse may have had contact with while contagious. Mato said there have been no other known cases so far.

It would be recalled that another Spanish priest, Miguel Pajares, died in August after contracting the virus in Liberia.
Ebola spreads through contact with the bodily fluids of someone who has the virus and the only way to stop an outbreak is to isolate those who are infected. There have been nearly 7,500 confirmed infections worldwide, with officials saying the figure is likely to be much higher in
reality.

Meanwhile, Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia have been hardest hit by the outbreak.
According to World Health Organisation, WHO, 3439 people have died of the virus while there have been 7492 confirmed cases so far.

In a reaction to the current outbreak in the United States, the White House on Monday
revealed that it is not considering a ban on travellers from affected countries although the state’s health officials had earlier said people
arriving in the US from Ebola-affected countries in West Africa could be subject to extra
screening at airports.

Something like this?

Who will snap the picture?
They may say that you've committed another crime by getting a snapshot...

If you re in ULI or Nearby, please stay away
from their god, masquerade so that you
won't
share ma story. My name is Rising
Chinweze and this is my story, Rising vs
Uli masquerade.
Drinking ma beer and thinking about what
actually happen to me today .
I Keep ASKING myself if it was mp fault.I
Was on a bike going to TRACAS park this
morning, I was waving hand to a friend
while on
the back of the moving bike and all I hear
was a sound like thunder on ma head.
Looking back was a masquerade. Did I do
anything wrong that will make the
masquerade to stretch his hand and hit me
like that. My ear keeping ring making me
to come down from d bike, Saying to his
followers, omo y nah, that's how my day
started.
Before I could alter a word, here comes
another one, again and again, now I can't
hold the demon in me much longer, man
got to do something. So I seize his cane,
that's how I made d worst mistake of ma
life. What was I thinking by coming down
from d bike and blocking his cane but its
already too late cos
am bleeding.
Several blows from his disciples, landing
on me, am just one guy against some ULI
YOUTHS. They were few but they keep
multiplying and the hit keep rising. No one
cares to know what went wrong, all they
no is
how can a stranger, a student for that
matter to dare their god (masquerade) but
they choose
to call it god. What did I do to deserve this
beating, I keep asking myself that but no
one
seems to care.
It took some time for all to be calm, not
that am free but at least the beating has
stopped. I
can hear some people pleading on my
behalf but they don't mind if my heart gave
up cos to them d penalty for defying a
masquerade was death. Some has died for
same reason, so
mine won't be diff. Some said I should be
set free but the vampires among them
won't let me go. They said I will reach their
square to sort things and appease to their
gods before am
free to go since I survived it.
There comes another case cos I don't have
much with me to buy ma freedom. I was
taken taken to their square where my case
was presented to d chiefs. They gave me a
list, a goat, basket of hen, palm wine etc
which is about 50k. Am left with 1300 for
ma Transport fair so I told them that
#1300 is all I could afford..

They threatened
me a lot, telling me to call for help but I
have nobody to call. I later sold ma phone
which only fetch me 5k yet not enough. I
pleaded in all way I could but they keep
telling me to call for help as if
they kept someone for me.
Since I can't afford much, I was taken to
their king whom set me free with lil fine.
