Almost all the private universities in the country have one rules or the other that expose their students to mockery by their counterparts in government-controlled tertiary institutions.

An ideal university is a learning environment with a modicum of control that allows students to ventilate their ideas without any fear.

But Nigerian private universities are good academic communities that pin down their students with rules and regulations that are explicitly stated in the students' handbooks.

Most of these schools are faith-based institutions and here are some of the funny rules the universities management devised to control the perceived excesses of their students.

1 Guys can't hug girls after 7 pm

At Joseph Ayo Babalola University, Male students are not allowed to hug their female counterpart from 7 pm. Any student caught violating the rule will be forced to undergo community service in the university bakery.

2 Jeans and Chinos are 'diabolic materials'
