Tell the boy to go and read his books. He should be busy preparing for his final exam and university matriculation exam. Na wa for small boys oo. The truth is that the boy doesn't really know what he wants. He doesn't know jack about relationship. It doesn't matter if he feels bad about it, but just tell him you can't do it. Better still, tell him you are in a relationship and can't afford to play a double game

It's really sad that that all these things are happening in our fatherland, Nigeria. I quite agree with Ongogi. There is no way you can compare graduates from Polytechnic to those from the University. I had both HND (from YABATECH) and BSc (from UNILAG). The university curriculum is quite different from the polytechnic's. The truth remain that after my HND, it was difficult coping in UNILAG. This might sound strange, but it is the truth. During my convocation ceremony at the Yaba College of Technology, Otunba Shubomi Balogun made it clear to everyone that the reason for establishing the polytechnics was to produce middle class manpower. So, I see no reason why the Polytechnic graduates should always be seeking equality with the university graduates as has always been the case in Nigeria. The only thing I don't like about the way Access Bank and the rest are handling the matter is the idea of laying off the polytechnic graduates. There should be a place for everyone. Everybody can't be the accountant and everybody can't be the manager. Some will definitely have to work as cashiers etc. I don't know much about this 'cos I am an Engineer but I want to believe that you don't need to be a University graduate to work as a cashier. It is true that you can't get everything you need in the university, but most employers out there believes that if you have a university degree, you can easily be trained for the job they intend to use you for. I will only advise that the banks revisit their policy and redefine the requirement for each position so as to accomodate the polytechnic graduates too. No hard feelings pls.
