who the focus of this post
should be – girls or
guys or both. In almost every tertiary institution in Nigeria,you find ‘undergraduate couples’ living as husbands and wives. You find a lot of these misguided people in virtually all schools. It’s
so bad that, often times,they are duly
recognised and acknowledged as couples by lodge neighbours, classmates and even
leaders of various students associations.
.
Little wonder there is such an award as “The best couple of the year award” shamelessly and
thoughtlessly received by
students..Like I said
earlier, I really don’t know the particular
gender to address but let me just keep typing.
The rate at which girls live with their boyfriends in their various off campus hostels is painfully alarming.
.
Most times, these young girls are very beautiful, with bright and promising future.They cohabit with boys
who are their fellow students as roommates.
The lugubrious
part of it is that the silly girl would always
introduce the small boy as her fiancé..Our
society is really sick courtesy of those that live
in it. These girls collect either hostel fees or
house rents from unsuspecting (and
sometimes, struggling)parents
and end up in the house of a boy. You struggled possibly for several years to gain admission. Then you suddenly became a prayer warrior posting and shouting ‘Amen’ at the slighted provocation.
You fasted. You had one prayer point filled
with promises of your loyalty and devotion to
God if only He would answer your prayer. Now
that He has fulfilled His part by answering and
granting you admission, don’t you think He is
expecting you to fulfill your own part, to keep
whatever promises you made to Him??.
.
settle down (especially from your second year)
, crazy thoughts will begin to creep into your
minds. Yes by then, the heat of the rush would
have been over; If God didn’t capture you
(possibly through the various campus
fellowships), boys would have caught you. In
my school we even have an unrecognized,
unregistered but well offered course (Moz101.
moz, being the short form 4 Mozambique hall,
were fresh female students are accommodated).
.
For the guys its a course that shouldn't be
carried over. Soon, they would persuade you
to move in with them. Of course, they’d give
you one thousand reasons to make you
give in to their
prodding.. Before you agree to move in and live
with a boy on campus, consider the reason
why you are in school in the first place. What
image would you be creating about yourself?
Can this boy marry you in case you get pregnant for him as is always the
case, or will you resort to series of abortions
like many other girls before you? What advice will you give your
children in future concerning this kind of
things? After school, what next? Will the relationship really
lead you anywhere?.
.
This post is finally addressing the
female folks. I didn’t plan it that way. Maybe it’s
because they are the worst hit by the grave
consequences of illicit sexual relationships.
They are the ones that turn out to be the sore
losers in the end. They call it school life but
they don’t realize how idiotic they have been
till it’s too late. You are not in school to get
married. Part of the reasons why you are in
school IS NOT to get the
husband-and-wife
experience, to see what it feels like for the boy to provide the money for food and for the girl
to go to the market for food stuffs and cook.
That’s pure misplacement of purpose! One guy told me that he was practically learning how tobe a caring and
romantic husband. Such shameless! Then you hear the girl say, “We are not doing anything, we are
just roommates”. Yet she
commits countless
abortions before graduation..Yes, your
admission has given you
unlimited freedom.
Yes, your parents are not there to tell you what to do or what not to do.
There is even no blood relation around, so there's
no fear of someone reporting you. But
what about giving
your womanhood respect and protecting your
dignity?
.
What about living in such a way as to have a
positive story to tell the next generation
(including your children) without your
conscience pricking you?
What Goes Around Will Definately Come Around....
Y not exercise a moment of thorough thinking....
