I want to know the real reason boys are mostly beaten on their buttocks in most primary and secondary schools in Nigeria.

I went around the town recently doing early morning exercise.

I saw that in most schools when they are flogging late comers,it is usually on the buttocks they beat boys.

I started asking some boys who are going to school where they usually flog them and all of them confirmed what I saw in the morning.

That makes me begin to wonder how it all started.

It is as if to flog boys on the hands is a taboo in Nigeria.

Nigeria isn't a country.

To start with, our colonial masters did that to us. We still carry that mentality till date though few have changed

Ok.

Why do they even beat at all ? Isn't that physical assault/abuse? Why did it become normalized?
