MerciMe:There is nothing wrong in teaching 5-10 year olds how to swim.....This was a pure case of neglect by the teachers and "life guard" |

It is very unfortunate and sad to hear such an event. However, there is a huge aspect of negligence on the part of both the instructors and the swimming establishment. I hope more policies and training for instructors can be put in place to avoid such issues for repeating itself. I hope a proper investigation is carried out, and the outcome and evidence supports the need for policy changes and competency on the part of the school, swimming instructors, and the swimming establishment. |

Schools are yet to learn their lessons. Their carelessness is infuriating. That school should be closed down and the school authorities prosecuted for manslaughter. May the little boys soul rest in peace and may God grant the parents to bear this painful lost. |

You can imagine the helplessness of the parents watching a video of their child drowning, even though not a live video, you can imagine the screams for somebody to pull him out! The school failed in its duty of care to all the children. Why take them to a pool with no safety measures in place. All the kids show have been wearing bright arm floaters at least. Why take them to an adults pool? Unfortunately, this is Nigeria and nobody will be punished. |

The I don't care attitude of an average person here is alarming. Same way I saw a picture of a teacher and pupils inside a boat without lifeguards here on nairaland. It's terrible. This is same I don't care attitude that makes people vote in irresponsible people into government, because they don't care for tomorrow or maybe they think they are pi$$ing others off. R.i.p to the child. |

simple250:On point. Most Nigerian teacher have no passion for the job and are only on it for the pay. And most Nigerian school owners pay paenuts. So the teachers show no comment on the job. |

Honest questions? What is wrong with our teachers of today? Why are they not taking their jobs seriously anymore? What happened to the passion and drive the teachers of olden days used to have? Do these ones feel saddled with responsibilities they never wanted to have? What exactly is the problem with today teachers? |

MerciMe: Just because you didn't learn how to swim at an early age which is practiced everywhere doesn't mean you should say rubbish... Swimming is a life saving skill and is recommended worldwide that kids learn to swim. I doubt if you can even swim to know the importance. Alot of adults have drowned in situations where they could have rescued themselves if only they can swim but no they are just like people like you who wouldn't learn but discouraged others from learning, do you even know that Swimming is part of school curriculum in South Africa? 1 Like |

onthehill:The school management and teachers that took those kids to the pool should be arrested for gross negligence. In every pool where kids are brought in for swimming lessons every single one of the are restricted to the very shallow end of the pool known as the childrens area. What on earth were the kids doing at the deep end for adult swimmers?? |

I don't know why nigeria so believe on this cctv, when we all know that the company or individual who put cctv in their premises don't put anyone there to watch is going on,in the premises. And this school of nowadays are going extra miles on our kids thinking they are giving them exposure. Excursion start from secondary not all this thing they now do this days. |

Most teachers ain't qualified to be a teacher but bcuz of dz Buhari time dy end up with teaching job. They have Zero passion for the job Zero accountability Zero drive for the job The rate at which dz ppu establish private schools dz days scares me. Their mission is just to make ends meet and nothing else. The loss of a child isn't healthy to one's mental health. Condolences to the parents. |
