Hello guys...so for those of you who are familiar with Lagos, please help me analyse this..

I recently gained admission into LASU to resume school probably next Month.. I am 21 years old, a full blooded introvert( boarding school from jss 1 to SS 3, private Catholic university from 100l to 300l then dropped out) and I currently stay with my family in fectac 6th avenue.
So I started planning on how to secure off camp accommodation at LASU(no on campus accommodation in LASU) so I can at least move away from the kind of life I'm used to for a start.. But can you believe what my dad told me, he said that can never happen, that I would have to be going to school from home(festac) to school (OJO road) every day because according the him "I want to go and be fornicating there. For those of you that are familiar with Lagos road please can you help me comprehend this
Because I don't understand. Who does that?

And mind you even at 21, I don't have a single male friend, not to talk of female friend. I don't like talking to people and I hate visitors. I don't like going our during day time, only at night (for like five minutes).. I have been lonely and isolated all my life even in my family (because I just hate it here).

I see no big deal there. Why are you running away from their parental security? You've not gotten to school and your nickname is totonigga. Your dad is wise.

trust me, I am the total opposite of that name.

Why did you drop out from school?

By the way, you can cover that distance in 45 minutes or less. It's not going to be easy on the long run.

TOTOnigga:

You cannot be the opposite of what you bring to public scrutiny.

Why did you drop out from school?

By the way, you can cover that distance in an hour or less. It's not going to be easy on the long run.

I dropped out of school because I never like the course I was studying and mind you, my dad chose that course for me when I was still 16 and naive, I never wanted to study that course..I just wanted to be obedient so I went for it only to realise it was not for me as time went on.

TOTOnigga:

You're not.

fine, who am I to argue with you.

You never talk wetin really happen bro. 80% of students in Tertiary institutions do not like the course they're studying.

Seems you're from a very strict background, coupled with the fact you once dropped out of the University in your penultimate year, your parents are just being careful so as not to lose you to the street at young age.

There are many 21-year-old that are already done schooling. I was almost done in the University at that age back then.

You just need to prove to your parents that you won't disappoint them. Get good grades in your first year and be dedicated to your study. That might change their mind.

Acidosis:


You're not.

You don't know him. Stop making unnecessary impression about someone.

It seems you've not met some mad parents.

MufasaLion:

I know him by virtue of what he brings online. You're not entirely different from what you bring online.

This story is not complete...tell us why u dropped out and that would help us to understand the angle u are coming from.

For this one sided story,your father can't be wrong because of your gory past.

Listen to your parents and live long.

Stop using social media to judge people. You'd be suprised black is not black on social media.

I don't read minds on the social media. I judge people by what they show me.

Then by what the guy said about himself and his challenges, he is being sincere. Let him be and stop playing god (God).

What they Show me.

That you flaunt pictures of your cars and expensive watches online doesn't necessarily mean that I am convinced you're rich. My impression of you by what you show me could be that you love show offs / braggado.

If you don't want to be known or judged for what you're not, then BE YOU whether in real life or on the social media.

Go back and read what the guy posted and come back to tell me where he's shown you what he's not.

A guy with a Nairaland moniker, "To-To", in caps has a lot of convincing to do with his dad about his level of maturity and decision-making abilities.

My impression of him has nothing to do with whether he fornicates or not.

You ain't as learned and intelligent as you project yourself. Goodbye!

LMAO

From 'playing god' to 'you're ain't as learned as you project yourself.' Desperately trying to make this thread about me won't help the op.

Talk wetin do you so we'll know how to address your plights.

I am yet to see what wrong your dad is doing to you, its only a matter of time for you to realise that the same man you tag as annoying is killing himself for your own happiness and welfare. Festac to LASU if not for bad roads is a 20 to 30 mins drive, and I am yet to see how going to school from home everyday will stop you from socialising if that is your aim of trying to move away from home. Most people will happily embrace the option of going to uni from home cos that at least assures them of some comfort and welfare being taken care of by their parents. I am still struggling to understand why you will be in your family home and hate it, or is there something else you've not talked about?

Ya dad is an oracle and he has seen the devil inside you, so accept his judgement and thanks him later cos he only want the best future for you.... Imagine your moniker TOTONIGGA does someone matured enough to control his life gave himself a bad name likes this ? Answer ya self

Can be covered in 30mins with bike. #300 from Festac gate to LASU

You cannot wanna the antithesis of what you come to public criticism.

I have advised you get an accommodation around LASU area because from Festac to LASU is one hell of a journey due to the traffic. However, I support your dad on this because you’re not actually who you said you are. See your moniker na!!

Is his name the only thing you saw up there?

We may not be entirely different from what we portray online, I agree, but before you conclude, be sure to consider the ENTIRE picture and not just a part of it ...

Like most people who come here for advice, he has only succeeded in providing half / incomplete information so there is no "ENTIRE" picture to work with. Who quits school in Nigeria at 300 level in a private university just because they don't like the course? He should provide the other information so people can advise him properly.

Having to pay another school fees from 100 level is enough reason for any father to be strict. This is my view based on available information.
