While addressing first-year students at Egerton University, acting Vice-Chancellor Prof Alexander Kahi warned students against things that are ruining young scholars.

According to the Prof, many university students are destroying their lives by indulging in vices.

Here are things university students should avoid at all costs:

1. Sponsors

Were it not for the new trend of young girls dating old men in a sex-cash relationship, many young girls would still be alive.

At the moment, the nation is mourning the death of Sharon Otieno, a Rongo University student, believed to have been killed due to her love relationship with a sponsor.

2. Sugar mummies

For the boychild, the competition from governors, senators, MPs and MCAs for the love of the university girl has left him frustrated. 

In the world of dating and seduction, cash is a weapon of mass destruction and as such, loaded guys have higher chances of melting girls' heart as compared to the boychild whose only possession is a cooking coil in his university cubicle.

As such, the frustration of being beaten 'home and away' in the race to win slay queens at the campus has left him seeking consolation from old mamas.

That is the reason many campus boys are seen driving cars such as Rush and Vanguard. Those are cars from their old flames. 

The women, who are most thirsty for a good 'bedminton', spoil these boys.

But just like the lifestyle of sponsors, our boychild is being destroyed by these old women and forgets to work hard. Forgets to start a home and at the end become a drunkard or gay.

3. Sports betting

Nothing is ruining the boychild more than betting. Many are those who never graduated because they used their fee to bet. Girls are also dumping many boys because of this habit.

One guy was dumped after he failed many promises of taking his girl on an out for a treat.

"Kila time bet ilikuwa inachomeka, hivyo ndio nilirushwa nje," he said.

4. Mwakenya

If there is one thing that can affect your university life, it is exam malpractices. Avoid it like the plague.

Never, ever involve with a mwakenya my brothers and sisters.

If you happen to cheat in exams, please first make Chris Martin's prayer

Oh Lord, don't let me cheat on my girlfriend, but Lord if you can't stop me 

From cheating, just don't let me get caught

No, no, no, don't let me get caught

Nooo, don't let me get caught(no no noo)

Said I hope I don't get caught
