They were sent to school to study, not for enjoyment. School vacation periods are the time for students' enjoyment.
Since the govt does not support the academic institutions financially, it could at least make better and civilized arrangement to create a morally and ethical environment for our leaders of tomorrow - the students.
Now the male students would capitalize on this ungodly and vulnerability situation to pimp the females. Already the male students have been enriching themselves by "arranging" girls (willfully and under duress) for our so called politicians and business men; so this new development is tantamount to increased enslavement of the females: unwanted pregnancy, transmission of all kinds of STDs, death, barrenness from incessant abortions, sporadic violence, poor academic performance etc.
When people blame the situation on poverty, shall we believe male students have more money than female students do? Do parents give more money to males than they give to females, not at all, because girls usually get more money from parents, uncles, and family members than the boys. Fathers do not spoil their male children for fear they could become lazy in life. But parents spoil girls, should I say “treat” girls more if you choose, to avoid them (the girls) using their body for money making.
My opinion on the matter is that the students misplace their priorities. First, they often adopt lifestyles that are above their means. Look at how much commotion Blackberry phones is causing in naija. Secondly, the moral laxity of the academic staff compels students to stretch their purse. For example, sorting with their body or meager resources, paying for hotels rooms to sleep with lecturers, paying for exams, paying for handouts, paying a lab attendant to set up labs for science assignments etc. If the academic staff does not exploit students, they would be fine with little their parents give them. Nevertheless, and most importantly, students should avoid copying habits and superficial lifestyle from wayward students and even the non-students who perambulate the universities pretending to be students. Thirdly, girls could still be in love with their boyfriends without living together as student-couples.
