Its a free world u know


It's a free world. But that freedom has limits. And it also has repercussions. Cohabitation and relationships are not one and the same thing. Nobody asks you not to cohabit. But never blame whatever results on anyone but yourself. It was your decision, anyway.
All over the world, cohabitation among students who live off campus is not unusual, both same sex and opposite sex. But these same societies usually have safety net policies, such that you're never left on your own to face the consequence. A lot of Nigerian students abroad cohabit. Some use it as a way to find a partner while on a student visa to have a relationship with that might improve their chances of a marriage or civil partnership that will earn them Permanent residence after school. Even though it is nobody's business how people run their lives as long as they are aware of what they are doing, reasons for cohabitation vary. The bottom line is KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING AND WHY YOU'RE DOING IT.

Freedom has no limits, in as much they are not kids, they can the Bleep they want and live with the consequences if there are any. I didn't cohabit in school and i have no problem if some kid decides to do it. Doesn't affect my life and i highly doubt if it affects yours

Re: Nigerian Students And This Cohabitation Menace by OlivetBen(m): 1:27pm On Oct 30, 2015
Schools atimes contribute immensely to this. Imagine where school cannot provide accommodation to students especially from part2 to part3. When d other could not secure a place to stay such will be tempted to cohabit with whoever allows him/her. If it were sth I had delight in I would be cohabiting nw because I tested a female friend on that issue of which she obliged bt I later did as if such discussion never existed.

Dats why I don't date students.... If I dating you I know u are capable of taking care of yourself and u don't live under your parents. And you must be able to take responsibility in case because I swear in my life that I will never commit abortion. Thanks to God for helping me so far. Ladies date men Dat have marriage plans and are hardworking and loving not students Dat will drain you. Be wise

Are you seriously thanking God for fornicating "successfully" Chai! What will I not see in this life time?

Ps. I aint judging you(before you come at me) but there are some things we should leave God out of.

To hell with the OP.

Every Uni student should be mature to know what they want.

Anyways, my gf and I lived together back then in the Uni. Though she had her own room in the campus hostel. Whenever we have some misunderstanding, she goes back to her room until we resolve it.


Today, we are happily married with a bouncing baby boy whose one year birthday is coming up in a few days.

To each his own.

@ OP if e no work for you, e no mean say he no go work for others.
Thank God for you, but that it worked for u doesn't mean it's ok.
Re: Nigerian Students And This Cohabitation Menace by pseudonomer: 1:33pm On Oct 30, 2015
I remember the lady I was dating in my part 2, she usually spent like 3 days, 2 days and over night. But at the end of part two, when were planning for part 3, Then she came up with this idea of Cohabitation for part 3 and she's really serious about it, and that shht scared the hell out of me. Though I love the food, the company keeping, being there whenever I'm broke and the other stuffs, but I can't imagine living with a girl for a full 4 months and another 4 months , and the fact that I will not be allowed to see other girls is even worse. I decided to call it quit.

I don't really like the idea of Cohabitation(Personal Decision, not saying it's wrong or right) but 30% undergraduates engaged in this.

That it did not work for others doesn't make it wrong as well.

Some people might just be helping the other party to accommodate them. Getting accommodation could be difficult in some schools.

The rate at which Many Nigerian University Undergraduates and students engage in unwholesome relationships is becoming really alarming.

You now find students who were sent to school by their parents to study and become something in life now engage in acts such as cohabitation and in relationships which cause them more harm than good.

Unfortunately, most schools are to blame for this. Universities in the eastern part of the country have made this cohabitation thing look like it's nothing. Why would a female student cohabit with a man "In School" with most times, she getting pregnant at the end and the man dumping her.

It may look rosy and sweet love at first in the relationship but then stepping it up to cohabiting with your partner is totally unpardonable and unacceptable! The fact still remains that you and your partner are both students and for the lady, the dire consequences would be present if you do get pregnant as you may tend to stop your education.

Nigerians need to wake up to this monster called 'Cohabitation" slowly eating away our society.

Am naturally ahead. wink

Those are the days of real love...when a lady sees nothing wrong in staying in one funny lookiing room,sleep in same funny looking bed with the guy,get scrwd front n back n this single room apartment,cook with 500naira and enjoy the meal so well but suddenly after graduation,the same lady can not see herself starting life with a man in one room and i begin to wonder...

The truth is that these schools should be blamed for not pproviding enough hostels but then the ladies should also use their heads and not offer themselves as intimacy gadgets to boys who dont even know what they want at that point in time..

Yea, I agree with you 100%.

Just that most of our undergraduates are not mature to deal with things like this and it ends up affecting their studies or unwanted pregnancies resulting to abortions which in some cases, leads to death.
Re: Nigerian Students And This Cohabitation Menace by Soteriahascome: 1:50pm On Oct 30, 2015
Yes, it's not something that must be encouraged or promoted anyway. But it's not an issue of that attention cos it happens in any part of the world. We have pressing and disgusting issues/challenges to look into. Co-habitation per say isn't worst than underdevelopment/terrorism we are faced in Nigeria. We must aside western education and develop our own Nigerian Education just like Chinesse developed Chinesse education, Japan developed japaness Education, German Education, and English education etc... This is the era of change per say, let's apply it in our Education. Udo diri unu.

Small children who still rely on Pocket Money.

I have a distant cousin who lives with her Bf in School.

She pays the rent, the guy runs the house.

She washes his clothes, irons them and he does not eat with less than two pieces of meat.

He gives her money for Soup and her upkeep, he does menial computer jobs ang phone sales asides his studies.

Her parents are not aware.

How can these be curbed?

Parents shouldn't just abandon their kids in School, give them surprise visits.

Know where they live. If you notice anything shady, Insist on them staying in the hostel or living with a relative.

God bless you...thats just it

No be today madam cool

Let us be true to ourselves...while some cases are not justified..some seem to be.

I dated a lady way back in school andd we we lived together for 3yrs simply because she could not afford off campus hostel n the school had no hostel.

Funny enough we were able to maintain a no sex policy but the truth is that this is one act that must bee discouraged cos its resultant effect is usually terrible.
