Do u think private Unis r really safe? Where on earth can u find total safety?

Acidosis: I lost a nearby neigbour some few
years back (in a similar case). Same
status (500level) but not a singer.. He
was stabbed to death at the front of
the campus gate (different school).

Thats why I shake my head when people open their gullible mouth to insult people who love their safety by attending a privately secured school...

I remember running countless times at school from gun shots all because of degree...

I remember the day a thief pointed a pistol on my head because of laptop in a room I rented with my father's money (Not their Fadas')..
No Public school (uni) is safe in
Nigeria...

If you love your child's security here in the country, take them to Covenant uni, American university of Nigeria or other good private schools where they do not breed cultists, touts and hooligans (if you've the cash).


RIP man,

May God grant your parent, relatives, friends and fans the fortitude to bear the unexpected loss..
(Amen)

I have noticed that in a relationship or marriage, it is a common thing to see men who cheat on their female counterpart, this act is very common among men than women. Is cheating a natural thing for men, or what?

If you have experienced a broken heart and you were able to heal the pain, can you share with others who are currently broken hearted, so they could get back to their their normal life on time !

Hala Madrid

R.I.P GOLDIE !

Barcelona quartet Carles Puyol, Sergio Busquets, Cesc Fabregas and Xavi are all in line to return to the starting lineup for Tuesday's clash against Real Madrid after being rested over the weekend.

Defender Adriano is a doubt with a hamstring problem, but assistant coach Jordi Roura has an otherwise clean bill of health.

Madrid welcomes back Xabi Alonso (groin), Karim Benzema (knee) and Raphael Varane (muscle strain) from injury.

Sergio Ramos, Fabio Coentrao and Angel Di Maria also return after missing the first leg through suspension, while Kaka is pushing for a start after his match-winning contribution against Deportivo La Coruna on Saturday.

payless: I have just asked him to get International Passport for future purposes. He said UBA, Dopemu. I even called to speak with these people and were adamant on seeing his driver's license which he had on him with voters' car and national I.D but they asked him to go and renew his drivers' license. The license only expired last week. This is a very crazy nation.

They released the money with 10,000 naira bribe.
