I was NEVER flogged before I came to Nigeria! I was well educated.

As a matter of fact those that taught us education DO NOT flog their students!

During Our Nursery,primary,secondary School Days,there Is Just One Teacher We Are Afraid Of,guess Who ? The One Whose Cane Hurt The Most.So This Question Just Pop Into My Mind Is It Legal For Teachers To Beat In Nigeria?

You are asking so that you can go and sue the teacher? Get a lawyer, he will advise you as appropriate.

This is the Justification for flogging children who misbehave. And most parents encourage it in Nigeria which is normal


Proverbs 22:15 (KJV)

Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.

I don't think it's legal except it's part of the school's rule.Flogging a children in schools had become a norm because most parents lack the will power to discipline their kids.Cultural factor and religious beliefs has being a mitigating factor responsible for this menace .

And what should the teacher do if your child makes his life unbearable in the class?

sure yes naaaah!

Naija students can behave so possessed oooh!

Wear socks dey will not wear! Do homework they will not do! comb hair dey will not comb! brush teeth dey will not brush! cut nails dey will not cut! go right they will walka to left! wear clean uniform they will not wear!

But to look fine on weekend and spray perfume nobdy will use cane to beg them.

It's funny because I remembered that back in High School, I was appointed the Labor Prefect. But immediately after we were appointed, the Principal change the rules and declared 'No more corporal punishment by student'. Most of my fellow prefects, including the Senior Prefect, obeyed the rules and stopped spanking students but I didn't pay them any attention .... I continued to mammer them, until one day the Principal called me into his office and seriously warned me to desist from flogging student. But I retorted that the only way I could get them to do manual labor is by flogging them since nobody like to work if there's no penalty. The man insisted and then I told him that he would have to remove me as the Labor Prefect because I can't get the job done unless I am given an authorization to cane the disobedient student.

gosh, I was a real hot head back in the day sha ....

Nigeria is do as you like country. Nothing illegal or legal.

shut up

Teachers been flogging since 1960
op take note

It is neither legal nor illegal.. Mostly, it depends on the type of school you attend..

well we are yet to verify your character... morals and upbringing. FLOGGING did wonders for many of us.... and would do wonders if applied in FIRST WORLD COUNTRIES.... things like teen killings, drug abuses,LGBT would not see the light of day if it was flogged out of them promptly when they were younger... MY OPINION O.

zico530:
What legality are you looking for? It is good to flog where it calls for, hence the child would grow wayward.

If the guardian or parent approves it. Discipline is strictly the parent affairs not teacher. If the parent gives the go ahead then it's not an issue

KingLennon:
It is not right to flog a child in school these days. But look at the crop of children we are producing now. No discipline atall, a child could talk when two elders are discussing. Back then, My papa go tie your hand join ur leg

The ones that were "well brought up" are in leadership positions today, were is the fruit of their good upbringing. Abeg flogging does not change anything it just traumatizes the child. It's better to talk to and warn the child again and again, and lead by example. Afterall the flogging did not stop us from doing the things we wanted to do behind our parents' and teachers' backs.

TechEnthusiast:
Flogging doesn't work.Some people usually claim odeshi,which only improves stubborness

spare the rod and spoil d. child

abike12:
I don't know if it's legal or not but I personally don't support it. Disciplining a child is not just about beating them because you are frustrated or to show seniority, it should be done with intention and communication with the child - you are getting your behind whooped because you did xyz, do you understand why xyz is wrong, do you know if you do xyz you will get your behind whooped again, etc. Then a show of love to reassure the child, that you're not there to hurt them but to make them do better. No teacher gets paid enough to do all this, my child, my responsibility to discipline. Add to the fact that a lot of teachers in Nigeria are frustrated (thank you underpaying government), and it's a recipe for disaster. Your child's cane will be extra because their parents have money. Don't touch my child. If a school feels a child's behavior is unacceptable then expel the child but don't discipline other people's kids. If they can't teach without cane then all of them need to go back to school to learn.

There's at least one voice of reason. There is hope!
I grew up in Botswana and south Africa. I was NEVER flogged while schooling there. I was better educated. In fact the 4years I spent in Nigerian govt secondary school was a complete waste! I learned NOTHING!
I basically went from primary to uni. Based on the good education I received in Botswana.
I thank God that even though I'm based in Nigeria now, I can afford to send my kids to good schools were flogging or any sort of physical abuse is strictly prohibited!

very Good! But not in line with the question that was asked.
Wetin cause am? Na "I too know" cause am... I mean No offense sir.

just like some western countries, u can flog but don't inflict injuries on the child

Flogging is useful, don t listen to the white world who tells you otherwise. Autism and ADHD is partly what they have labelled the resultant bad behaviour of their children due to withdrawing of the cane.

And with all their vices and our "high morals" we are one of the most corrupt and they are a million times better than us.
I grew up in a Christian home. Upheld my core Christian values. I am a daughter whos father is very proud of.
Flogging a child does nothing to improve their moral values especially when no one is looking it only induces fear of which the child will eventually out grow. If that were to be the case Nigeria would have the most fair and most honest set of people cos we log children at every given opportunity.
However the reverse is the case. Our politicians are all products of our society. Meaning 90% of the ordinary Nigerian would act exactly the same way our politicians do if given the chance.
FACT! We are all corrupt in this country. Flogging has done nothing to better us.
