The school proprietor should be behind bars too. Father of the girl has to get evidence of his threats and report him to DSS and police.

News Gazette Online, in this kind of report, since you named the school, you are supposed to withhold the girl's name. It is not her fault in any way and she has a future.

The mum did a good job finding out what the problem was. Most parents would have caned the girl or buy her gifts to make her continue going to school; thereby further frustrating her life.

We have been paying tax on borehole in Lagos since Sanwo-Olu came to power.

i wonder what naija people want. If we really want to be like US, UK, EU, CHINA, e.t.c. we have to start paying for these amenities at some point.

If they want the water to continue running, they should pay a token for it. "Free education" is why our education system has become a mess.

"FG bans Twitter" and "FG suspends Twitter' is one and the same thing. It means FG has gagged all Nigerians who prefer Twitter to other social media fora till further notice.

The way and manner police quickly arrested, and killed some of Ahmad Gulak's killers is quite commendable. Why are they not fast with such astonishing results and breakthroughs in the north?
I suspect foul play

Murderers in the North run back to their forests and come out when they want to commit another crime. If the account by the police is anything to go with, then Gullak killers are very stupid. How can you kill such a high profile person and still stay in the same neighbourhood?

Neither flogging students nor sending them away for delayed payments is cool. The children shouldn't be flogged because it's not their fault. Also, sending them away from school at odd hour could expose them to danger.

This alternative is safer and may even be more effective. Inform all students and parents that all debtors won't be allowed in school from a certain week of the term, for instance, third week. Beginning from that week, turn debtors back at the gate. Don't allow them into the school. That is, if they still defy the instructions and come.

For those that have been commenting that no teacher should flog their children, please send them to American schools. In Nigeria, some students only respect canes and not teachers, not even their parents. Pray your child is not one of such children. If you ever have one of such children, you will be the one buying bundles of cane for his/her teachers. That is if you truly want them to make a headway in life.

Initially, this thread was about to make sense, but it later lost track of the sense. I read through it to pinpoint the particular changes that op meant, but I could not pinpoint anything apart from how "members should be banned and not be allowed to create multiple accounts".

Is it really possible to stop multiple accounts anywhere? I don't think so. People have multiple phones, multiple WiFi Connections, multiple IP addresses, etc.

Anyhow, I think Nairaland is cool. Members are still here over the years because it is cool. If you can't survive the comments on Nairaland and leave because of them, I wonder how you manage to survive the real Nigeria and the real world.

The real world is all about the survival of the fittest.

For years now, even in Nigerian villages, we receive Ghana free-to-air TV without paying a dime. Even that of Sierra Loane can be received in Nigerian villages.

Yet, Lie Mohammed has started talking about yearly payments for Nigeria's "FREE TV". So, what is free in it?

Who did this to Nigeria?

No wonder Twitter choose Ghana.

It is high time we all closed our eyes and behaved like Kogi state. Over the last one year, they have proven that heaven will not fall if we do so.

Schools open or schools closed, COVID19 doesn't care about it. Anambra state that refused to open schools is still taking third position.

The figures will continue like this with Lagos and Abuja leading until they listen and close the airports, or at least, ban flights From high risk countries.

Coming out once in a while to release names of travelers who you suspend their travel documents for six months because they refuse tests is not the solution. Meanwhile, those people are allowed to mix up with the populace. Let us thank God that Covid19 is not as deadly in Africa as it is in Western world.

Another Thing, govt should stop the attitude of rushing to close schools. Covid19 did not start in a school, but at a Wuhan market as we heard. They should close boarders, airports and markets. French schools are still open not minding their lockdown due to second wave. That is example of a country that values education.

I have gone as far as secretly getting access to her WhatsApp. I didn't see any single chat with her and the guy nor another person. But the calls just keep pisisng me off.

I realised I shouldn't have gone that far. I should have just be calmed and let her do her wish

Bold guys don't do Whatsapp, they call, especially when they are not members of SMAN. If the type of engagement you did with her is the type that leads to marriage, then you have to apply the brakes and see what she really wants. Though, she has already told you. Summon courage and move on.

The dangerous effects of any kind of lockdown in Nigeria is far higher than the risk of contracting COVID19. OP, you Just mentioned lockdown in England without mentioning how much their government pays each citizen to keep them locked down. Have you ever thought about how your childrent's teachers managed to survive the last lockdown?
Infact, the moderators should delete this post and ban the OP the way Facebook delete Trump's own.

Afterwards, those abroad will tell us that "village people" made the woman and her children mad. Even the said herbalist on phone may also be abroad.

Second wave was caused by

1. Political campaign rallies without physical distancing.

2. FG's lack of guts to ban travellers from countries with high COVID19 infections.

They should leave schools and religious bodies out of their problems and confusions.

Conducive conditions for lockdown anywhere in the world, especially as some Nigerian states are mulling lockdown again. Experience has thought us the following.



1. Pay stimulus package of N100k monthly to all citizens. US parliament just approved 600 dollars for each citizen, yet they have not locked down completely.



2. Device means of delivering essential items to people's door steps. That is how China did it. If you allow people to go to market because of food, then the purpose of the lockdown will be defeated.



3. Security men to enforce the lockdown should be well trained to avoid unnecessary killing of people who still go out to look for food.



4. Government should not hoard any food palliative. This is Nigeria. Hunger is real.



5. Leave schools out of it. Nigeria does not have facilities for long distance learning. Schools should be locked down on case by case bases. That is, schools where students test positive should be locked down, or the ones that obviously flout the covid19 safety protocols. France and Israel are doing it like this right now. Parents are allowed to take their children to school and return back home.



6. As we go forward, NCDC should release data of which sector or people that make up the high numbers released daily. For instance, how many of them are students, bankers, lawyers, teachers, medical personal, travellers, wedding/burial or other event attendees,etc. It will help us to know who the main culprits are. Lockdowns can also be done sector by sector. Most European nations do it like that.





I have taken the time to write this because some states are thinking of lockdown again. Please don't lockdown if you can't put the above in place.

2020 was tough because of the long lockdowns, not necessarily because of COVID19.

The hospital has sealed the case.
Even if they go to another hospital and they get a new report containing exactly what they want, it will be an uphill task proving which doctor's report is more factual.

I advise the abused boy's Family to find a good counsellor for him and quietly put him in another school. They have made their point and its loud and clear. Taking the case further is an exercise that will hit a brick wall. My opinion though.

What stops them from registering new SIMs after verifying the person's NIN?
If SIM card registration done by telecom companies is not a mere waste of time, why stop new registrations because of NiN?

Enough of rhetorical questions. Nobody answers them.

So many people don't even know what love is. All I know is that you have to feel a certain level of attraction to the person and make sure you can be able to manage the person's shortcomings. Nobody is perfect, including those claiming love.

But wait o, OP, who are you expecting to come and marry all the girls you are using to play chess?

Godsown0:
Sun no dey touch USA why?

Tell me something!
So USA does not have afternoon and night?
When some other people are asking why parts of Alaska in USA or Canada have 24 hour daylight, you say they don't have. Anyway, I am not doubting you, because I don't have the answer you seek.

Okay, OP, let me teach you in primary school tone and voice.

My instructional material is a flashlight (touch) and a spherical globe containing map of the world. For easier understanding, take the materials to a dark room where the only source of light is the touch light.

Now, the touch represents the sun and should be kept on a chair at one corner of the room. The sun is the only source of light in the whole universe. The moon and stars merely reflect rays of light from the sun. The sun does not move at all. It is stationary and shines constantly without stopping. So, in this dark room, keep the touch light shining at one place towards the globe without offing it.

Back to the globe, make it stand constantly on the south pole with Australia near it, while the North Pole is constantly upside with Siberia, Alaska and Northern Russia close to it.

Now, set the globe in such a way that the light is shining directly on the map of Nigeria on the globe. In real world, that happens around 12pm in Nigeria. Other countries on the same line (latitude) with Nigeria, such as Italy, Libya, Tunisia, Niger, Germany, etc have their 12pm at the same time. So, it is said that they are on the same time zone.

At this same time, countries and areas directly behind Nigeria on the other side of the globe will have their 12am (i.e. Mid night) because the light from the touch (sun) can not reach them.

The earth rotates anti-clockwise on its axis (meaning that it turns round and round slowly on the South Pole side). So, we turn our globe so that the touch light now shines directly on the map of Ghana, Mali, UK, Spain, etc . In reality, it takes the earth complete 1 hour to make this turn. So, the time zone around the world would have changed by 1 hour. Time in Nigeria becomes 1pm when Ghana has 12pm, At this same time, Senegal would be having 11am. The earth and time continue to move until Nigeria will reach behind the light, which is night. At 12am (mid night) in Nigeria, some countries facing the sun will have their mid day. It takes 24 hours for the earth to rotate completely on its axis. That is what we call one day.

Also, the earth revolves around the sun. That means it continues moving, apart From rotating, until it has gone round the sun. This takes 365 and one quarter days to complete. That is one year.

I hope you all understand today's lesson.

Somebody should tell the authorities that other countries pay money to buy COVID19 vaccines for their citizens. It's not free. They don't have to do drama to get it; that is, if they value the lives of common Nigerians.
COVID19 is real.

Where are those saying Nigeria should learn from US?
Is this what Nigerians should learn? We all know where "peaceful" protests end up in Nigeria.

Nonetheless, we have read and learnt from US that people who block the highway while protesting are promptly arrested, so that other people can go about their businesses.

The panel should have invited someone from Sahara Reporters to lead them straight to the mortuary.

bro do u see police in the USA shooting with reckless abandonment knowing that there are civilians....everytime, we hear of stray bullet...why

Are you referring to the same USA I know? Try read their news once in a while.

Google "Police brutality in United States" and see for yourself.

I really empathize with the rank and file of the police.

There was a problem of crowd gathering in most cities. A problem that could easily go out of hand and out of control. All our president, vice president, governors, senate, rep members and even the Inspector general of police could say was warn the rank and file of the police not to disrupt the "peaceful protests". It's demoralising. If I were a police man, I will feel dejected too. Well, we have all seen the end result.

Nobody should get my message wrongly. I have also suffered in the hands of overzealous SARS in the past. But we can't throw the baby away with the bath water. The good ones among them are very useful. I can't forget a particular night armed robbers besieged our street. It was the police that saved us that night. They are important in the society.

Despite all the protests in USA, President Trump never criticized any police officer, even till today and they don't mind giving their lives for him. That is a good example of how a leader should behave towards his foot soldiers during the time of crises. After the crises, you catch the erring ones and discipline them. Giving them a blanket warning at that time will only demoralize them.

Peaceful protesters gave impetus to angry mob who loot arms at a police station. What we will actually see next are ARMED angry mobs, who will kill without anyone condemning their actions. Afterall, all of them have turned to "peaceful protesters".
We will get to a point where we will agree that we need committed security men, though we protest against their excesses now.

Sure, simply put, he should not only read his own area of specialisation, he should have the knowledge of other courses, what of civil servants who write exams before being promoted to the next grade?

For the sake of fairness, whoever sets the questions should let those that are to write the answers know the scope or area of concentration. Something like scheme of work for students in a term or semester.
