Being a higher institution student is arguably the most interesting phase of a growing adult. Yes, you stay with your parents; you have an apartment of your own or stay in a hostel and you enjoy the freedom that no one can question.
Hence, while in school enjoying this privacy and freedom, students tend to try out many things or better still many wild things that their parents or sponsors must not know about, or else there would be trouble for the students.
This article discusses some of the many wild things students do in school that parents must not know about:
1. Throwing House Party In A Place Far Away From School
Yes, the clean-up operation might take weeks, but most students living in rented houses or campuses at university throw or have a house party. There, students snub class, get the biggest speakers possible, prep the perfect playlist and send out a shedload of invites. But, students just make sure snitching friends don’t know about it beforehand.
2. Practicing Lesbianism And Gayism In School
Lesbianism and Gayism are not a Nigerian culture, hence most parents are strongly against the principles of this practice. However, in school, a good number of the students find pleasure in lesbianism and gayism. Female students play with each other’s private parts and make love. While Male students have sex with each other. Imagine, if a Nigerian parent hears about this; just imagine the outcome!!’
3. Weekend Sleepovers At Opposite Sex’s House
Another vicious thing Nigerian parents must not hear about what their wards do in schools is abandoning their studies, and apartments and sleeping at the house of their respective lovers. This is common among most female students who leave school on Friday and crash at their boyfriend’s house over the weekend. This has become a norm for a good number of female students in Nigerian tertiary institutions, and at maximum risk. There are reports of many students going missing from sleeping at “strangers” houses.
4. Drinking, Smoking And Clubbing
Outside throwing a house party for celebrations, another wild thing students do is the regular Friday clubbing, where they party all night, smoking and drinking. Also, some students are fond of taking hard drugs like cocaine, Colorado and other illegal drugs. While some are addicted to taking alcohol.
5. Pregnancy Out Of Wedlock And Abortion As Clean Up
Female students get pregnant frequently for their respective boyfriends countless times, a sequel to one of the weekend sleepovers! And to clean up the mess, they adopt the Do-It-Yourself (DIY) method of abortion by taking drugs and using hangers, spoons and other crude objects. If a Nigerian mother hears about this, be sure the child is in for big trouble. Many students have died by trying to abort unwanted pregnancies.
6. Having Sex For Grades Or Fun With Lecturers
This trait is most rampant among female students who willingly sleep with their lecturers to pass a particular course. However, some students date their lecturers, as they might not be interested in dating their fellow students.
7. Long Absence From Class
Some students do not attend classes, write tests or partake in examinations to chase their other careers in other fields. Many students would dump classes, and go for shows, auditions or tours outside the county or the location of their school, without their parents’ permission. If a Nigerian Dad knows about this, it is the end, believe me!
Conclusion
While the average Nigerian student will nod in agreement to the above exposition, some parents will chuckle in a retrospective of the wild life they live while on campus; the brains of some other parents will get busted, imagining what their children could have or be engaging themselves far there in schools!
