Just 12 years? I'm sure I missed something. Someone should please educate me. Is it that one could be too old to be educated now? Are there clearly stated conditions for exception? I'd like to know what those are cause there are a hundred and one reasons for which a kid could still be in primary school at that age. And what becomes the fate of the so-called over-aged students? Should we pollute the street to protect the school? I could be wrong but I honestly don't see how this is great idea. I think the government is overwhelmed and ideas aren't forthcoming.

dabeto:

Go back and read it well. If you are overaged you bring someone to sign the undertaking for you.

kayuseful:

Learn to listen patiently before you comment

Prechy08:

How about this part?
"However, any student above this age with a genuine reason will have their parents sign an undertaking of good behaviour before their admission,” he said.

Ashirioluwa:

“However, any student above this age with a genuine reason will have their parents sign an undertaking of good behaviour before their admission,” he said.

Thanks for your replies though I respectfully disagree with your stance. I read every single letter, guys. I also saw the phrase "with a genuine reason" which you conveniently missed. So you're satisfied with that? To you, that's sufficient to pass a bill? May I ask you what constitutes a "genuine reason"? What reason is not genuine? What are the conditions for exception? What would make you look at a 13 year-old kid and say "no, you can't school again"? Or is it that when the time comes, we'll subjectively decide what reasons are genuine? And what exactly is the implication of the undertaking? When their kids join any secret society 5 years later, you'd arrest them for vouching for them at the age of 13? So those without "genuine reasons" are thrown into the streets just because of the possibility that they might join secret societies in future? In other words, you'd be punishing them for life for the offense they MIGHT commit? Does that sound logical to you? And what happens to the streets? It's okey if the streets are littered with cultists provided the schools are safe?

Let's learn to have an end-to-end view of proposed solutions before implementing them cause the devil is in the details. People don't ask for details and that's why politicians make vague promises and get voted in. It's even sadder when those that ask for details are attacked/shut down.

the rule makers have missed the point again by cutting the tree from the stem instead of uprooting it

This one strong sha. It’s retrogressive but something had to be done

Overaged looking kids go suffer!

Good enough since an exception has been made.

Hhh

Nigeria and stupidity . Is this even legal?

Is yhat how to comb cultism


So an innocent student above 12years
Wil now drop out, just because of one yeye zoo law

Is this the way to go?

So you ban them from school and they remain wayward and be negative influences in the larger society.

Who is in charge of that state, education? Don't they have functioning heads, minds in that state?


Gosh!

Lol

It’s a good development.

It will go a long way in curtailing the possibility of fools like Simplyidiot, BMCgrills, idioticBandit and other fools with neurological anomalies in this forum from influencing our dear little kids with occultic activities.

Who ever came up with that solution is mentally lazy. Should be sent to a mental asylum facility.

Is that the solution

Naija, the land of Many wonders

What a crazy ban! Pitiful governor...

Typical example of when the Center cannot hold anymore.

Cultism is a menance to the society growth

They parents should try TO curb it from infancy

Times have changed sha , before, they will tell you, your hands must reach your ear, today, they want younger folks

Gosh!

if ur kid isn't up to 12 years, he or she should remain at home (for public schools only oo)

They should create a school for them.

Misplaced priority. What becomes of the older pupils now.

Abi they'll start using football age to enter secondary schools now

Them too like cultism for this state

It's an unfortunate situation, cultism in secondary schools, that shows how rotten the system is, our leaders have failed miserably.

Bad decision ever made

Clueless leader.

what sort of nonsense is that
