A friend called me this evening and said school holidays have been extended till Feb. 1. Just watched on NTA News the confirmation that Public and Private Schools have been closed till Jan 30th.

I don't see why schools have to be closed for voters registration. Especially since most of the school children are not of voting age (Primary/Secondary)
Where do they expect parents to put the children for the extra 3 weeks?

I am disappointed the government could take a decision like this.

Results have been bad. Now we take 3 weeks off again!

Na wah ooo.

this 1 no make sense at all

Wow! Now dis doesnt make sense

Whr on earth ar dese parent goin to put their children

Na wah, till Feburary, please are you sure. Two of my cousin that their parents stays in USA that are studying in Nigeria will be in the house with me for one whole month. Those girls can eat. How am i going to manage. They can finish four cups of garri during lunch, not to talk of dinner.

I don die oooo.

i see young stars on street

I'm not fine with the postponement too, but i think their schools would be used as the registration centres. ALL D BEST NAIJA

The postponement were made because some schools are being used as centres 4 the ongoing Voters registration. They postponed the resumption date to enable a hitch-free conduct of the voters registration!

i dont know about nigeria but in zimbabwe normally civil servants i.e teachers does the voters registration so it makes sense if there using the teachers

guys its just a confused Government.Is this how Jonanthan will govern? What has school got to do with Registration.What are local council employees doing? Let them be given the tasks of the voters registration

Inconsistency in policy is the Hallmark of this administration. After coming out some weeks ago and claiming to be encouraging reading habit and now this(stopping school cos of politics). Where is this govt heading?

this is bad news. where will my wife put the kids. moreso, wll the schools give a discount 4 all those extra days at home. the pathetic thing is the election may just be like the previous ones (fradulent)

what about the South-East Universities that hv been on strike since 5month and.IMSU will resume sch.on 10th of Jan.now another 3weeks holi is coming, THIS ONE NA WAHALA oooooooooh.Another tru life story, this one don pass SUPER STORY

the extension is not going to affect any university in the country

me i dont undersatnd this one oo. it nigeria the first country that wants to conduct a free and fair election. closure is it for security or that they want to use th schools for registration exercise. they should remember that an idle mind is the devils workshop oooo.

They will cope the way they've been coping during hols, i advise parent to employ lesson teachers to keep the children's brain busy.
About issue of food, kids takes food to school. i see no difference about them staying and eating at home. cos they even consume more while going to school e.g Food + Caprison or Bobo, Biscuit etc.
They only problem i feel they will give is noise and scarttering the house, you tell a child stay here dont move, before you'll blink ur eyes that child is off the seat.
It will affect some working mothers.
I dont mind to take my leave this period, so that i can spend sometime with my kids.

Mek una abeg try c reason wit d govt na! They wan use d schuls for registration ex

More to the security situation on ground. If the schools and staffs are going to be used for the registration,then it is expidient that students should stay at home for the period. The security that will be provided at all venues is sure not safe and certain. We don't want any form of planted bombs at schools. The government is definately cautious of this fact too.

Shie you said U.S, enough cash dey now why you dey panic.  
So wont they eat same, if they're on session

Nigeria is wonderful,every thing is possible in this country.

And WASCE will hold in Febryuary.

Useless leaders, unlucky Country.

For this, Jonathan has shown again he is visionless

and has lost 7 votes to Buhari or Ribadu. Neither

of these would have given these useless holidays.

What a waste.

Just like you did to mummy 2 when you were small

Nigerians are so skeptical of any Government move that even some rational ones are denouced!

Where better to do registration? Your houses? Una wan be like Adedibu (of unblessed memory)

Primary and secondary schools are most visible, more neutral and easily identifiable. Also supporting infrastructure are available. Offices (even if makeshift or temporary), furniture for officials and even the public are easier sourced in schools. Shifting schools resumption by two weeks shouldn't be too much of a big deal. For those whose children eat too much, try 001 or 010 to cut down cost. remember you are sacrificing for the greater good.

Also, the press release says that SS3 students are exempted by this extension! That means that the WAEC examinations are on course

Kai, think people, think

LOL!!! sorry, sis.

this is not wise. clearly. how can govt do this at this time? why can't the REgistrars do their work in school assembly halls or undertrees or something? i don't just see a lot of wisdom emanating from GEJ's administration. this was most definitely not well thought out.
how can you close all schools?
