EducationRe: The Owner Of Dowen College Hasn’t Called Me Till Now - Sylvester's Father Speaks by Oblongata: 6:01pm On Dec 06, 2021
wirinet:
Father: Hello! Who's on the line?

Owner: it's the Owner of Dowen school

Father: oh, the killers of my son?

Owner: I am sorry for the death of Sylvester. His death came to me as a huge shock. The police and school management is carrying out an investigation on what really happened. At the end of the investigations, I promise you that anybody found culpable or negligent would be punished.

Once again accept my personal condolences. May our Lord Jesus Christ give you the strength to bear the loss.

HEADLINE NEWS: Dowen owner makes condolence call to Sylvester's father. Vows to punish anyone found culpable.

Unless you think the owner herself is culpable or responsible for the murder.

Now why was no sensational headline when the class teacher called the father to console him?
My brother seriously it can go any direction. The best is to play safe until investigation is concluded before any call and apologies. Right now every one is watching their every move and these bloggers ain't helping. They can easily twist narrative just for a few traffic.

What do you mean misyarn? Are you saying calling the parents to commiserate the family for the loss of their student who happens to be a student of the school will amount to misyarn? So the teacher that called to sympathise with the father was misyarning?

This shows how much the school value their students.
Father: Hello! Who's on the line?

Owner: it's the Owner of Dowen school

Father: oh, the killers of my son?

Owner: we didn't kill your son sir

HEADLINE NEWS: Dowen owner says they are not responsible for Student's death!

The case is highly sensitive, any misyarn from the owner, 2 seconds everything done burst o.
The best thing is for the owner to keep quiet until the investigation is concluded!
CrimeRe: Sylvester Oromoni - My Dad Will Kill The Case - Alleged Killers Of Sylvester Vow by Oblongata:
With the anger Nigerians have shown over the death of Master Sylvester, I doubt if any of the suspected boys would ever type such a thing!

I mean that would be really daft of them!

Their phones would have been long confiscated by the parents!

People let’s refrain from wrecking havoc to the investigation.

We are angry that Sylvester died, but now creating lies and propaganda to further taint the people involved will also turn us to bullies.

Let’s calm down and let police do their work!

EducationRe: Sylvester Oromoni's 12th Posthumous Birthday (Pictures, Video) by Oblongata:
I sincerely mourn this kid in my heart like kilode!

Especially since he is in the age bracket of my son.

But the world needs to know what really happened that sad day so that it would be prevented even in all schools all over.

I suspect this is not just bullying, but a greater evil!

Football match? Drinking substance? Life threatening beatings?

All these reeks of cult initiation.

I suspect what happened is initiation gone bad!

If this is true then I fear for the future!

The present and ex house masters/mistress, teachers, guidance etc must be investigated.

The students involved must be investigated.

Students in the school must be persuaded to come forward and testify any anomaly that smears cultism

Cultism has destroyed lives of many undergraduates

We must reject it at all cost in our secondary schools!

I charge the police to explore the possibility of cultism initiation, rather than just bullying.

May the gentle soul of Sylvester Rest In Peace.

EducationRe: When Parents Storm School To Beat Their Child's Bully by Oblongata:
The best guard against bullying of your ward is by being their close confidant and to let them know that whatever goes on out there he/she feels that isn’t right can be reported to you and you are their messiah I.e you are greater than any threat they can face out there even if it is their proprietor or governor or President! Build a great relationship with your children now!!!

FamilyRe: Bullying: I Taught My Son To Fight Back by Oblongata:
The only effective fight against bullying is letting your child know you are always there for them and that you are their confidant and their messiah, that’s all! Always give them a listening ear, build their confidence and also make them know you will defend them no matter the situation.

Let them know their right from wrong!

Shut the hell and read everything I wrote instead of picking on a line to spew rubbish. You must be an irresponsible father yourself. sad

Some of you don't deserve to have children. GOD forbid, I almost had this same experience with my ward who lived with me while attending a boarding school in my city.
After one session, I pressured his parents to withdraw him. I already gave details of what transpired in his case in a previous thread. I don't have time to banter words with another apparently irresponsible father who doesn't know where to place blame. sad

If we had child protective services working well in this country, many of you would never have children. Bunch of irresponsible infidels...yes that's what the Bible calls you lots. The father failed to provide timely fatherly protection. He still pushed the boy back the same place where they had threatened to kill him. Maybe because he and his wife were too busy 'working' for money. angry

You are really pissing me off. angry Don't ever mention again in defense of that idiotic father.
No matter what you intend to communicate, don’t ever say anyone deserves to lose a child. As a father mind no go gree you say that kind of rubbish, that is how I know you are still a kid. I am prolly wasting my time because you will end up not understanding and quoting me to spill off some more frustrations. May God bless us all!

mastermaestro:
The father is gradually letting the world know his failure in this whole tragedy. I said it in the other thread that Sylvester's parents should take an equally sizeable chunk of the blame. They failed their son as parents.

So the young dude had been going through this bullying, yet the stupid father is saying here that he didn't know what to do. Madness! angry You deserve the loss. That young dude didn't deserve a failed father like you. Look at the coward lamenting and crying all over the place as if he cared! He didn't! If he did, he would have withdrawn the son from the school after he came home saying that he had been threatened with death. sad

See now, those who threatened him with death have carried out their threat!
Nonsense! angry
@bolded Obviously you are yet to be a father. No man that father’s a child will ever say that another man deserves the death of a child.
May God in his infinite mercies forgive you and not let karma have a plot in your life.
FamilyRe: Could He Have Ulterior Motives By Disagreeing To This? Should I Opt Out? by Oblongata: 2:55pm On Dec 04, 2021
Mercychen:
Hi fam.

Something has been bothering me of late and leaving me emotionally and mentally stressed and drained for the past weeks and I'm cut between the devil and the deep blue sea.

There's this bro we're trying to see if we can work things out. though, I never really wanted anything relationship again or at least for now until I'm decided later in the future on what I really want for myself.

Before, I delve into the main discuss , let
me quickly highlight how it all started.

Some months back, My publisher came to deliver the books I ordered for. So while sorting the books, he just got teasing me like " Babes, na wa o. What's up with your romantic life now?. I've never seen you pulling with anyone. It's always work, biz Money money money I see you pursuing. Lol... I just told him, guy, free me abeg and I went on counting the books at the boot of his car.

He now walked up to me and said, on a more serious note, what is happening? So I told him it's a personal choice cos I dont have the strength for relationship brouhaha now. He agreed with me that truly its not easy and even as a married man, he too feels the heat but the good thing is, he married in the Lord. So I should choose wisely from among the brethren.

So he said, he has this family friend, an eligible bachelor, who wants a decent lady and I'm the one that comes to mind each time the guy mentions it because since he's be dealing with me, he can vouch that I'm a very honest, hard-working and decent lady. So he would want the bro to have me.
That was how I got to meet bro.

Now fastforward to the main reason of this post.
There was this particular day we tripped out to cool off and discuss about US. So we got talking and planning on how to build our home in a way that we will not be caught unawares with some setbacks and unplanned responsibilities. So the issue of children came up and I suggested we have only one, which he reluctantly accepted after much convincing. So we tried to look at ways we can maintain that decision and I suggested a vasectomy. citing the possibilities of health risks (as a result of mismatches ) and failures that might occur if the family planning is done on me but with vasectomy, no issues. He looked me in the eyes and said, "my darling" no!

I was dumbfounded.... And became a little worried because, if he has no plans of having more children, why would he kick against the idea of a vasectomy?

If we are going to be one and follow one course, why shying away from a plan that will benefit us as a couple and a family?


Could it be, he only agreed to have one with me and plans to have more else where?
Is vasectomy a life threatening condition?

I was still trying to wrap my head around his refusal, when he said, it will be done on you ( the family planning). That instant, I felt all alone, like im on my own. So I told him I needed to cool off, and he said feel free.
I left the tent and went to the waters prentending to be playing with the water. He came and dragged me out of the water. we strolled without a word and I asked him to take me home. He did.

He called when he got home. I was cold to him so, he promised to call again but since then Ive refused to pick his calls or reply his texts.

The big question is ..
WHY DID HE BLUNTLY REFUSE A VASECTOMY?

COULD HE HAVE ULTERIOR MOTIVES?

IS IT NOT BETTER TO OPT OUT NOW THAN PRETEND I DIDN'T GET THE MESSAGE AND END UP IN REGRETS?

WHAT DOES IT MEAN WHEN A MAN KICKS AGAINST VASECTOMY?
I don’t want to sound rude but you are VERY SELFISH! you are already trying to control the poor brother when you guys are not married. You want him to take a life decision and you want to impose it on him. Your reaction to him is self centered and crazy. May God give the good brother an understanding and caring wife (obviously not you).

I had my nieces over and an argument ensued that Wizkid, Davido, etc were the first to bring Nigeria into the limelight. I was bemused and had to educate them on several Nigerians that made Nigeria proud, even before the advent of the new superstars ( apologies if any taken). Here are some of the stars that shaped the music industry world wide…
