In Nigeria, there are lots of families and each differs in terms of background and identity. Which one is your family and how good or bad is your family contributing to society? The daily activities in families account for the kind of behaviour being exhibited by children in the society which in turn becomes the pedal at which we ride the wheels of each community.  The seven types of the family include: 1. Formal and strict families: This kind of families are always time conscious, they train their child to be mean and in their thinking, they are better than every other family in the neighbourhood. They barely accept gifts and when they do they instruct their children not to make use of such gifts. They are well educated and less socialized. If they have tap water, they hardly leave a tap outside the building for public use and despite that, they have the time they open and lock it. And if you are in need of water you need to ask for keys on several occasions and if car...

Men and women have a different view about what polygamy is and the choice of polygamy is mostly based on the two top religions practised in Nigeria, and other factors to be discussed. According to Christianity, a man is to be married to a woman but despite this, we still see many Christian men who choose to marry more than a wife. In Islam, a man is permitted to marry more than one but less than five if he is certain he can be just among them. Despite this privilege, some Muslim men still hold on to just a single woman. Men are mostly polygamous in nature but there are certain factors preventing him from answering the call to nature. Reasons why men choose to stay with a single woman include: 1. Economic reasons: Women are naturally inexpensive but artificially expensive. The cost of taking care of a woman is enough to take care of two men. Most men marry in regards to their income and once he fears that he wouldn't be able to meet up to this demands, he settles for less....

Most parents have been trying to find a better school for their children and find it hard to determine whether or not they should put them into a private or public university. Well, there are advantages to any of the two but the main reasons the private university should be considered are: 1. Availability of study materials; We all know that most private institutions receive exorbitant school fees, and with these fees, they try to put in place all necessary materials needed for suitable learning and magnificent result. This is contrary to the case of the public university where the school needs to wait for the federal or state government before they could run the school properly. Also if the budget to the education sector is relatively low, it will definitely affect the amount of fund being received by each public institutions. 2. Building political and social stability; it is of no doubt that most rich men and women in Nigeria enrol their children to schools like this due to t...

There has been a lot of controversy over the type of lady who would make a better wife. Some people believe marrying a lady who after secondary school get into business or apprenticeship is better compared to a lady who thrives to finish her university education. Well, society, family, religious upbringing have their own influence over the kind of woman a lady will become. But before I would go into this controversial issue I would like to remind my readers that most African countries including Nigeria, practice a patriarchal system of governing giving the husband some power over the wife. Below are the reasons why men prefer a secondary school leaver to a graduate: 1. Socialization/ civilization: School is no doubt an agent of socialization and the higher institution is believed to have grant most ladies an exposure wider than that of the secondary school. It is believed that ladies because of this socialization engage in a behavioural act which could affect their cultural valu...

Most undergraduate students graduated from the university without having a plan on how to successfully adapt to life after school. Most of the time, once they find the system unbearable, they tend to seek asylum back into the University system. They return to school for a masters degree and continue with the struggle. However, there are things to consider before returning to university for a masters degree.  Below are the lists of things to consider before returning for a masters degree. 1. The university you want to attend: It's advisable to gather more information about the school you want to attend before applying. Many institutions nowadays spend more than the stipulated time allotted to a program and before you could graduate, there must be a lot of wasted time, resources and energy. 2. A constant stream of income: It's of no doubt that undergraduate life can be a little bit rough and harsh due to the fact that most undergraduate students depend on their parents or...

Many students aspire to own a degree, but the zeal to finish with a first-class honour is usually maintained from the beginning but in the middle of the whole process they got stuck and could not continue with the aspiration. A first-class honour is absolutely good but the truth is that this honour ain't just for anyone. As a student, it's good to take time to understand yourself and try to determine what kind of student you are, and what are your abilities and capabilities. If you are among the few students I'll be talking about, you might as well consider going for a second class honour. 1. Students who are slow learners: They say slow and steady wins the race. But have you ever asked yourself what type of race has even been won with that phenomenon? If I may answer for you, it's just the marathon race. Which simply means you can win in the long run. Winners win because they go in their own pace. If you are a student who finds it hard to grab ideas in the clas...
