Let's look at it this way; America is a religious country. In fact they believe they owe all what they are worth to God (And I strongly believe this is one of the main reasons why America has remained world number one power for so long despite all the attacks and attempts to change this)
Yet they know where to draw the line between being religious and being fanatic. They know when religion should come in and when it shouldn't. That to me, is worth emulating.

The military is a sensitive part of any government. The strength of a county's military determines the overall strength of that country. They are wise enough to know that only God gives absolute victory, hence forcing their soldiers to acknowledge this power. Nothing wrong there at all.

Lovexme: I understood you. I do see a lot of bad parenting going on around me, and I wouldn't want to be that father who his kids wouldn't be proud of. I'm still learning though.


Erm, have you got a chilled bottle of Fayrouz? I could cool down with that.

Lol! Go and buy ya own.

Lovexme: Madam, please keep your lecture on being a better parent to my kids in future to yourself! Yes, heartbroken if they acknowledge they've been wrong and would want to be better parents.

I never said you or anyone else who 'badmouthed' his or her parent(s) were wrong. Y'all have the right to feel aggrieved which most are doing.

I only felt I wouldn't be a proud parent if the comments I've been reading were what my kids thought of me. Heck, no child should grow up without the parents' love.

I know better..I do not need to be lectured on parenting.

You misunderstood me. Not saying you are a bad father. Just saying you should learn from us so you can be better. The truth is that many parents take a lot of things for granted oblivious to the grave damage they are inflicting on their kids. I'm trying to say that you should pay more attention to those things.

Cool down.

The dress looks like it was made for Riri. It could be because of the colour though.

It's a bit tight on Kim.

More reasons for Messi critics to hate the sweet guy.

The guy is a shinning star whether y'all like it or not.

Aitee1: Have been in this kind of situation b4 only that in my case I wasn't already sitted in the front seat. We were about going out in my brother's car and the new gf he had then just rushed to occupy the front seat while I quietly went straight to open the gate for my bro to drive out of the compound, in mind I was like "this babe never even confirm weda na she go occupy dat front seat 4real" well I over looked everything cos to me she was was nt matured.I jus balance for back sit as car owner jor


Fast forward to now...what went thru in my mind came to pass cos my bro is not dating her again due to her unquestionable character.

You sef you get wahala. What's the big deal if the girl wants to sit with her bobo? So she should have asked you first before sitting there? If na you you no go like sit with your bobo? How am I sure you were not praying everyday for them to break -up?

Women and trivial issues! It shouldn't even be an issue for a wife. A wife's place and she should only be concerned about the bedroom and kitchen and maybe the dinning table. Every other place is trivial cos they are temporary. Trust me.

Jamean: Agbaya they worry both of them o. Where I seat in my bf's car doesn't affect where I occupy in his heart & life, because sister and gf no be the same.

But if I was that sister, I will go sit at the back with common sense and make a joke of it. If I was the gf too..I wouldn't insist on sitting at the front if someone occupied it before..whether his sister or another person.

Somethings are rather just too trivial to make a case out of.

High five!

I wish more women think like us.........

If both sister and gf were mature, it shouldn't have been an issue.

If I met someone at the front seat with my hubby sef, I will leave them there and sit at the back. It doesn't change anything. Doesn't make me less of his woman. It doesn't affect out relationship in anyway. After all, at the end of the day we will both meet in our matrimonial bed which is where my real place is.

Lovexme: Hopefully, some of you don't have either of your parents on NL. They'd be so heartbroken at what their kid(s) had to say about them.

Heart broken? Some of you are so annoying. Do you think we are just badmouthing our parents for the fun of it?

Most of us are alive and sane today because God kept and protected us from people who were supposed to be our own guardians! It's that bad yea.

Just learn from us and be a better dad in future.

pricelessJ: Actually praying and wishing for a man like dad.he is the best.loves mum so much and cares a lot for the kids.wat else can wish for

Lucky you.

Lagbaja01: seriously, some papa go commit suicide if dem see wetin their lovely daughter wrote about...from d comment so far, it seems 70% of married men are not worth emulating.

Lol!

Trust me. He won't care.

Btw, so you think I just want to badmouth my own dad? Why? Don't you think I will have enough reasons for saying what I said?

Smartsyn: tolerance is all you need

If you want to die from "tolerance" speak for yourself and of course all your dumb asss fellow GEJites.

Rijes: Who told u he enter inside the meeting hall were u there......
The pix depicts that he met him outside...
Biafra 2015

smh

Unless I wan die less than a Year after my wedding.

I keep saying this.

The problem is not about the banner or whatever these people do. The problem is about the masses who still support them no matter what simply because of sentiments.

LARRYDKING: wet girl i'll like to knw what IOU is cos i'm seeing it 4 d first time.

IUO not IOU

DAVE5: That's the exact reason why it is that expensive... cos its chicken change to few people....don't worry, if u don't drive a range sports already, you would afford a 2014 model for yourself before this year runs out IJN...

AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!

And to think that this money is chicken change to some people..........

Diarisgodoooooo

Teephar: Interesting.... Dis IOU wasted my friend time... She went there to study medicine only to discover it wasn't accredited.

Yea. That was previously. Igbinedion too like money that's why he kept admitting Medical students before it got accredited.

LARRYDKING: U just stated reasons why we shouldn't go 2 IUO or watin u call am BTW, watin be IUO And where are the 1000 reasons cos i've seen just one. The spliting is just a normal paragraph in every write up.

Where da hell is your sense of humour? Dry boy!

rill: what's IUO India university osogbo?

Igbinedion University Okada.

cockycock: Main reason is that you get good grades easy without much stress.
You enter as a 16yr-old teenager and still come out as a 20yr-old, still acting like a teenager
I love private unis,they rock

Definitely.

But this particular thread was thought of to educate people on the word "Private University" to make them see that it goes beyond the Christian aspect. Not all private schools are run like Christian schools which is the main beef people have with private universities. The thread throws more light (in a humorous way) on what private universities are all about.

jmoore: I can't see the 1,001 reasons.



Btw, I will build my own private university. Let me make my $billions first.

Lol!

Ok Ok. I am sick and tired of people lumping all private Universities as advanced secondary schools. Just because you are used to hearing "Covenant University" "Babcock" "RUN" etc. Does not mean that all private schools are modeled like that.
Your IQ should be able to figure out those are Christian Universities and that is why they are run like secondary schools. Their respective churches have sensitive reputations to protect at all cost. There are 1001 reasons why private Universities are cool and encouraged in the present situation of education in Nigeria today.

By the grace of God I attended IUO. When I first came in, do you believe male students could actually sleep in female hostels? Talk less of females sleeping in male hostels! It was only after we started hearing of rape incidents that they cut short the visiting hours of male students. But females could sleep in boys hostel for all they cared! It isn't supposed to be allowed, but it's one of those laws people break openly.

Students come in and go as they wish, gates are open till 11pm, even at that, students still hang out at relaxation spots around Okada town till the wee hours. So far you come in quietly and hail the security guards, you are good to go. You can travel anytime from Monday-Sunday without telling anybody anything. But I hear you have to inform your hall warden now, not for permission but for record sake. Most IUO runs babes spend their weekends in Benin and Warri.
As at when I left, students started standing up to the authorities to fight against harsh policies. We'd riot and block all roads at the slightest provocation.

If you like go for lectures, if you like don't. Na your papa money you dey waste.
Students cook and fend for themselves.
Dress anyhow you like during the day, so far you are not naked. During the night, if you like wear G-string to hang out with your bf. Na you sabi.

So many shows were organized on campus and I still remember how Paul of P Square, singled me out of the screaming crowd in the girls hostel where they came for awareness and invited me to their guest house during one of the times they visited our school. I went with 2 other friends and we chop small money without allowing them chop our kpekus o! (well, I'm speaking for myself sha) Kai! If I shine eye wella that time maybe na me him for marry lol! (I love Anita Isama Okoye)

There are many, many, churches/fellowships/Muslim fellowships on and around campus and nobody is going to tell you when to wake up and go to church. If you like go and worship your maker, if you like stay back and watch film in your hostel, if you like play music and twerk like Miley Cyrus na you sabi.

Going to a Private Uni will give you the opportunity to connect yourself to people who could be of help to you after graduation. You could use the connections of a politician, top bank/oil company oga's son/daughter.

You will find and be forced to live with all kinds of Characters in a secular private school. The psychos, the gangstas, the weed-addicts (you must not be caught smoking weed though) the geeks, the inventors, the spoiled brats, the ashawos, the spirit-filled, speaking-in-tongues Christians, the evangelists, the Alfas and Mosque heads(what do you guys call them?) the lover boys, the play boys, the entrepreneurs, and the neutrals. Though you cannot go overboard with excesses if you are reported to the authorities.

Private universities also have a significantly higher amount of extra-curricular activities and programs for students to participate in. This is very important for all round mental and academic growth.

As a guy, you never land if you don't have a sleek, pimped-up car. I fondly remember one Ojay guy who pimped his 190 benz so much, it looked like a scene from MTV's "pim.p my ride" I wish I could post a pic of it here. Now girls are seriously competing with them. IUO boasts of an enviable collection of rides and sophisticated gadgets like phones, etc.

Students are exposed to various student bodies and groups such as Arewa students forum, Igbo students forum, etc. These groups, well backed by highly placed Nigerians from their regions, usually had enough educative, informative, and entertaining packages for it's members and well-wishers.

Lecturers have one-on-one relationship with students. This is usually heightened depending on the student's last name though. But struggling students can always go to a lecturer for help with anything, you may need to buy recharge cards for the lecturers but no heavy demands or pressure are placed on students. If you wan dash lecturer kpekus na your palava, if you wan build house for lecturer na your business, but lecturers do not force it on students.

Being born an aje pako who went to a public secondary school, my English and swag was nothing to write home about. But going to a private Uni help me a lot as I was determined to make good use of every penny of the over 2.5 million I spent during my stay in that school.

No strikes, no cultism, what you put in is what you get instanta!

There are still many other advantages I haven't listed. I hope we have been well educated so far.

Cherers!

It is only Christian Universities that have such strict laws.

Secular private schools have all the freedom of public schools. Only difference is that cultism, harassment from lecturers and other vices are at the barest minimum in private schools.

Aww. I love this kind of brother-sister relationship.

I'm as close as this to my younger bro. I love playing mum to him but sometimes I wish he was older as I really wish I had a real father/big brother figure while in my teens.

RedBenson: Mr. Dailynews, why e be say na only ladies-related topics on nairaland u dey show up with ur long posts? Lol.

Most especially when it comes to topics about light skinned, or beautiful ladies, or ladies and sex.

seunmsg: You did nothing wrong by refusing kenneth since you have an official boyfriend. There is nothing wrong in sticking just to a guy, you would have done wrong by dating two guys at the same time. And how are you so sure this Kenneth is truly an angel? That he calls, sent you sms and recharge card doesn't mean he's truly in love with you. We guys do all those things just to get what we want. So please, stick to your boyfriend and stop ranting about one Keneeth that is probably digging another girl at the moment.

This is true though.

oseiwe: I have forgiven you.

By the way, you wanted to date two guys? You ehn.

I have forgiven and forgotten you sha.

I'm sorry I'm lost here.

The op hasn't committed any offense. None at all. She was honest from the beginning.

The Kenneth guy really seems like a darling. I'm suspecting he knows the op's boyfriend and that's why he gave up on her when he saw both of them together.

iyabodeh: Beauty doesn't sell. If it does, what's the price? Is it Silicon? Padded hips? Lots of plastic surgeries, maybe? To me, high price to pay!!

Beauty however is no longer in the eyes of the beholder, and singleship shouldn't be associated with beauty. There are ladies that are morally upright out there who aren't all that beautiful, but are having issues with their relationships.

I'm single, beautiful? So-so! But my charisma is high up there!!! The prettiest doesn't have anything on me! Not even the married!! Any beautiful girl feeling down and depressed because of their status, then there is something wrong with them! No guy wants to be with a lady that isn't confident. So @op, nap out of it!

I rock, man!!! And I'm as singe and hard as an erect dick!!

You get sense die.

The funny thing is that what most people call beautiful is not even really beautiful.

If by beautiful you are talking about Rita Dominic kind of beauty, then you need to go out more often.

Kinkybraids: Well I think that they could be single for the following reasons:

1. They know that they are beautiful and dont want to settle for any guy that approaches them so they would rather remain single. The so called 'ugly' girls may not get many suitors and realize that offers may be few and far in between so they accept more easily when being pursued as they play less games. A beautiful woman feels you need to earn her beauty.

2. Maybe they have more important things to pursue right now rather than a relationship. Maybe she sees that beauty fades so she also needs to build her wealth

3. She could be trying to avoid the 'chop and clean mouth' kinda guys because she has been hurt by them before.

4. I have realized that beauty attracts a man but it doesn't keep him so some beautiful ladies are not very nice people. They dont have that selfless personality that's required for a long term relationship.

5. Some beautiful women dont end a relationship and start the next just like that. Its not a job vacancy that needs to be filled. Some women like to take breaks in between relationships just to breath and find themselves.

Most sensible response here.

However, there are many self-centered, not-so-nice, not-so-good looking ladies out there as well.
