WORRIED by the non-compliance of some private schools in Oyo State with the order that all schools (public and private inclusive) be shut, until after the completion of the on-going two weeks voter registration, the state government yesterday read riot act to the owners of such schools.

The Oyo State Commissioner for Education, Dr. Nureni Aderemi Adeniran, who condemned what he called the unwholesome act of some proprietors of private schools in Oyo State flouting the directive of the Federal Government by asking pupils to wear multi-colour dresses to attend lessons in their schools, threatened to withdraw operational licences of such schools

Voter registration: Why we shut public, private schools -FG

At a joint press conference in Abuja, on Monday, by the Minister of State for Education, Mr Kenneth Gbagi, and the chairman of INEC, Professor Attahiru Jega, the Federal Government explained that over 70 per cent of the schools would be used for the exercise, which would involve thousands of people going to the premises of the schools and, as such, it would be a security risk to allow the pupils and the students to be around during the period.

Well as you are obviously unemployable, you would assume that the only way to "work" is to steal. Pity.

That is the right answer to the post above, with money you can do all things and all things will fall into place.

I thought GEJ campaigned that he was just an ordinary Nigerian like everyone of us.

We Nigerians, we like to cry and strut and roll on the floor!

Why should anyone expect "American International School to [b]respect our Government's directive[/b]?
JUST GIVE ME ONE REASON======JUST ONE IS ENOUGH (apart from that silly one: its government directive   )

When you dont RESPECT YOURSELF, how do you expect these foreign scumbags to respect you?
They just "size-you-up" and say "WETIN GO HAPPEN, ABEEGI".

These foreigners know we dont have a government (or a disrespectful one) and they will disobey any "pretense to power" with impunity!
Wetin go happen? tell me and lets wait and see!

You are a real mumu

1) The American school is owned by Nigerians who prefer American style education to the Nigeria's

2) The school is on Nigerian soil, not in the embassy, bot on Nigerian soil. On a land meant/reserved for a 'model' secondary school

And whats the news about it?

Dont you have a brain?

How would you like it to be sent to war by your commander-in-chief, only to realize that he is the one arming the people you were sent to engage?

It won't have bothered me If the registration exercise is going on as planned and smoothly but did u notice the slow pace.
In my area 3 people register in 12hours even at a time the corpers had to complain of low battery and wait for electricity to charge the machine before they can continue. With the situation of things their's no posibility that it will not be extended. So when are the student going to resume. May be stay at home till after election.

Did Jesus put money everything else?
Was Jesus richer than the average person; And there is poverty of values, integrity which afflict Jonathan
You had better not commit blasphemy because of Jonathan

And this is fallacy of composition
If we all became rich and have kids in BIS, AIS etc, which schools will serve as reg centres

BTW Oyo state threatened to SHUT SCHOOLS shut were opening surreptitiously
Oyo threatens to withdraw licences of schools flouting FG’s order

Be real
Jonathan's children are in school while some schools that are sure of security and are ready to open are being threatened by governments under a  president who said

"In my early days in school, I had no shoes, no school bags. I carried my books in my hands"

I thought GEJ campaigned that he was just an ordinary Nigerian like everyone of us.

And he has demonstrated it by making his children school in Nigeria

[size=14pt]PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT[/size]

Both the children of the rich and poor are in school in Ogun state,while Lagos,Edo,Delta etc schools are shut

Why are nairalanders not making a fuss about this ,like it means anything,if the state govt or school authorities decide to remain open or shut,how is that GEJ's problem,y'all should stop bitching and murmuring already,or is it just an avenue to vent accumulated personal frustration

You are all complaining because GEJ's children are schooling in Nigeria. Nobody would have said anything if those kids are schooling abroad. I think the guy has tried enough to make his kids school here.

That said, the environment at American International School Abuja cannot be compared to some other schools in the country. The security there is superb and not like what is obtainable in some other schools.

Whoever is not satisfied, should disobey the order, send their children to school and face the consequence. BTW, aren't the children happy that they aint in school? lol!

That is bull!! That his kids are schooling in Nigeria is not reason why they ought to get a pass on a ordinance ordered by their own father.

And we need to know this why? This changes things how?

Are you serious? This is what you have to say on this? I have to say if you are being paid to blow this up our butt, you ought to be fired -- you are @Johndoe. lol

Ofcourse, but his stooges here do not seem to understand that by claiming the school his kids attend is under American jurisdiction, they call their boss a Liar and a hypocrite since on his facebook, Jonathan proclaims himself a SAINT for keeping his kids in Nigeria when in fact the school is supposedly a foreign controlled entity, run not according to the nigerian system but a foreign system.

Nigeria is very polarized.  God help us.  If not strike na election.  when will the students get the quality edcation they need?

uumm. . . . . I am not certain if you have yourself been following at all, but this particular thread is not about all the other schools that are open, of which many have complained outright on OTHER THREADS and I believe some have informed us that the government has a task force out there to enforce the ordinance now.

people say what they dont surppose to say, to stop school 4 two weeks is 4 our own good b/c u dont know what people are planning to do during the voter's registration, God 4bid if any thing happen in that school, do u know weither ur chrildren are save?

I really dont understand why we keep posting threads like this. Must we always condemn our leaders for their actions and inactions? Is GEJ the school management board or what? Pls lets be very sensible when we talk about our leaders afterall they are just mere mortals like us so who says they are infallinble?

PERSONAL EXPERIENCE:

I WAS ATTACKED FEW DAYS TO FASHOLA ELECTION AS A GOVERNOR.
AN HOLIDAY WAS ANNOUNCED BY OBASANJO GOVERNMENT THEN
BUT MY BOSS SAID THE ANNOUNCEMENT WAS OF NO EFFECT ON HIS COMPANY,
ON MY WAY FROM THE OFFICE ON THE SAID DAY, THUGS ATTACKED MANY PEOPLE
UNDER THE BRIDGE IN FRONT OF NATIONAL STADIUM AND I WAS UNLUCKY TO BE PART OF THEM.
I REGRET EVER GOING TO WORK ON THAT DAY.
