author=magabyte]The increment in school fees has caused a great problem
in the life of students and also the calender of the school curriculum
as usual.we are forced to pay a a fee ranging from 80,000 to 120,000 for
second year to final year student and the first year students are to
pay above this sum ie 120,000 and above.

Yesterday,security operatives were sent into the exam halls to send
students away,this was against the wish of the lecturers but it was
believed that the authority was from the state government.

The final year students whom are writing their degree exams could not
take this as they began to destroy some school properties which
attracted the attention of security operatives(army).

Exams were stopped as the riot continued and today,students are burning
tires,no one was actually injured,security operatives seems to
understand the students better this time and left them to continue,the
school gate has been shut and students in the hostels were given till
6pm to vacate the hostels as well.

please Nairalanders and my good people of this nation,is this government
doing the right thing?please intervene on our behalf.

God bless you[/quote]

author=obongproff]I was wondering... were our fore-fathers "forced" or
coaxed to pay such gigantic, extravagant, "community-service-size" of
bride price that guys are forced to pay these days? Were they asked to
bring like a 100 or 300 tubers of yam or more? Did they have to buy
things like they were feeding a village or some form of community
service or philanthropic donation? Did they have to pay for a reception
hall? Did they have to spend up to half a million(in their own currency
as at then) or more becos they wanted to get married? Were they usually
given a long list which usually included kinsmen that the girl's parents
don't even have an acquaintance with? And if they eventually brought
all these(without having to borrow), what did they have left to feed
their new family?

Looking at today's wedding running costs, it's not just making any
economic sense. What is the rationale behind spending over half a
million on a two days event, that definitely won't bring back any
financial dividends? Can't a dude get married with a maximum of 300,000
naira in this country, I mean including the total cost of traditional,
court and white wedding?

Am very sure that in the developed world, wedding is not that expensive?
Or is it because of our under-developed or poverty-inclined thinking?
Isn't it time we questioned this pocket-sucking-dumb-tradition of ours?

I go to church and the pastors do encourage the youths to marry early,
especially in order to avoid fornication. But the so-called tradition is
not encouraging us to do so. An average guy has to save and eventually
waste over half a million in order to have a "standard" wedding. I mean,
what is even the definition of a "standard" wedding in the Nigerian
context? Can't a man have a sub-standard wedding, depending on his
pocket size? What happened to the old saying "Cut your coat according to
your cloth", or is it not applicable to this case? Isn't it high-time
this tradition of spending too much on wedding be reviewed and updated?
Or is it a indirect means of encouraging late marriages?

Sorry I had to pop out many questions, but these have been my thoughts
lately? And I would really appreciate some meaningful contribution to
this, cos this thing is quite annoying? [/quote]
