In a land filled with mostly useless elders and extremely useless leaders, the destiny of a great nation rests on the shoulders of young men and women who were raised by these same ^{mostly useless elders} and extremely useless leaders

The truth is Nigeria is a land of cover ups.. If the table were turned and the culprit is the son of these victim parents, these parents would have done the same thing to cover up the excesses of their son.. They would have send the son to the village if they don't have money to fly him out.. We only remember justice when we are the victim but run, bribe, ask for forgiveness, blame devil, do massive cover up when we are the villain..

In times past, fathers were the ones that called out & reported errant sons to the rest of the community so as not to have the family name tarnished. We claim to be wiser than the men of old, so why is our society worse off?

It’s our right to scream our displeasure at whoever is in power, but the real problem is us as a people.
Our values are in disarray and no matter how much wealth we have on display in the gram, we are all piss poor morally.

The authorities of that school should be arrested for colluding with those parents to help their wards evade justice.

you idiot. The standard age a child starts boarding school is 11 or 12. I started boarding school at 11 from js1, your parents couldn't afford to put you in boarding school or were senseless enough to not know the importance of boarding secondary school doesn't mean you insult parents who are wise enough to put their wards in boarding school for good training

This whole thing remind me of one movie called......
Defending Jacob

Cantonese:


Very easy to say for youths who know absolutely nothing about life and youths who suffered lack growing up.

Oga my advise is that you first work to earn a good living, get a wife, have children, have a feel of how it is to raise children. Then thereafter you can make your comments.

For now do not display your ignorance publicly.

Most of y'all are Unnecessarily Emotional and Can't Read properly!

Whether you like it or not, It's Lazy, Weak and Selfish parents that send their Children to Boarding schools!

A Strong Father or Mother keeps the children@home and Teaches them the hard and Fast rules of Life!

dettolgel:
The students involved and the school authorities need to be prosecuted. I feel bad for the young life wasted and the agony he must have been through. He may have suffered internal bleeding, who knows what was in the concoction given to him.

I hope his father in his younger days didn't have a hand in causing pains to other families?

Sooner or later all the system boys that have been going around killing and maiming will soon start raising families and strongly believe that they will do it in peace without retribution.

Ladies I know that husbands are hard to come by but please investigate the men you want to spend the rest of your life with. Some have killed in the name of cultism or while robbing others of their properties or while trying to make money ritual.

Just like the boys that killed this young boy, their parents will try to get them off the hook. In years to come they also would want to start a peaceful home devoid of pain and anguish from the past.

My only frustration are the innocent souls unsuspecting wife/husband and children born by these monsters that will be at the receiving end.

Please and please let's be guarded so that we don't share in the sorrow and pains that we know nothing about.

abeg getat, investigate men ko, una whey don sell una destinies finish to yahoo boys nko?

Instead of that idiotic governor to swing in now na waka waka he dei find up and down

This country doesn't value life

You are a fool of the highest order.
So the Governor owns Dowen College?
Your parents did a disservice in raising you or you just turned out unfortunate.

mrlycan:
What kind of parent puts their children in the boarding school.. ? This is Nigeria..........for crying out loud

Exactly! Just to think that this is Nigeria should deter anyone from sending their wards to boarding schools. With the level of corruption and wickedness in Nigeria, I can't try it.

The parents of the boy especially the mother was a little bit careless with the life of Sly. How could a reasonable mother who has just one child and only son to be in a boarding school? What are her excuses for doing this? If it was for career or money making reason now can the career or money buy back the late boy's life? Also for the school authority to cover up such heinous crime is terrible.

Vinnie2000:



His Simply Point is that Most Negligent Parents Dump their Children in Boarding schools!

They are too Weak, Lazy to do the Job of Parenting!
Wonder why Most of you are insulting him

Most of them are products of boarding school, you can see the frustration from their comment.
Why will you give birth to a child and allow the society train it for you? The crimes committed in boarding schools are on the rise, negligence on the part of the parents and the school management.
Parents go dey form busy, now you can end up with broken ward or probably a dead one...
PS: no quote me and be saying rubbish, I no dey take prisoners

They want to build their career at the detriment of their child(ren).. E don happen now, dem dey cry..
According to the story, the boy had earlier complained of the bullying but the parents decided to play it down, pikin don die now

If any of them escape the owner of the school should do the prison time
But nigeria is a useless country

The drama continues.

BOARDING SCHOOL is the best. Suffer as junior enjoy as senior, wake up 4 a.m, do cabin soaks,sleep during prep hours. Especially RED NIGHTS,the last night b4 holiday. Shouting "A boy there?" And over 50 junior boys all rushing for your errand. It's too sweet, who no go nor know. Who no go hostel miss alot. But these guys f up,let Justice catch up with them the evil school mgt and their evil parents. I sorry for who no go boarding school, only poor idiots don't like boarding school

mrlycan:

And what is wrong in a boarding school?

Please PUBLISH THE NAMES OF THE % BOYS MENTIONED BY THE BOY LET'S CIRCULATE THE NAMES AND EXPOSED ALL OF THEM AND THEIR PARENTS.

shigishege:
The issue is these boys involved are minors. Government face restrictions issuing quick arrests for minors

they could be remanded in juvenile homes until they turn 18 whereby, they can now be tried for manslaughter

sandra50:
Exactly what I have been saying..how do you even send your kids to boarding schools,for what purpose?what is your job as a parent?this makes me sick.

I am surprised that some are Bashing him! Many Cannot even Read simple meaning to a comment!..

Many Parents who sends their Kids to Boarding schools are Either Lazy, Weak or even Selfish!..

I Heard one Man saying 'Married men, Enjoy your Wives,ok?. Send your children to Boarding schools and create more time for Sex/Romance with Her'!..

I don't know why they refuse to see his point. There is a colleague of mine that use to drop her baby in creche even if she's free and on annual leave, is that not laziness?

Suffer as junior, being bullied by your senior, treated like a low life by fellow human. Finally become a senior and do the same to your junior..

That is your definition of rich life..

Why give birth when you know you will abandon them... Stupid parents..

Grandmeister:

And what is wrong in a boarding school?

u are reading it on FP and u are still asking?

lomprico:

Una be who? I see say u get time this morning

I understand that times have change and people travel far from home to make a living.

I still believe in the old school style where if you come to ask someone hands in marriage the relations will send emissary to investigate your family and extended family.

If there is a murder or thief or agwu at any point in time in your family history na capital No.

Likewise as a man if you tell you father that you want to ask someone daughter hands for marriage. Your parents will talk to your kinsmen and they will also investigate the girl's family if there is any coma you ain't going to ask her hand. If you insist you do that alone without your kinsmen backing.

I agree that it has his drawbacks but the premise is still valid till this day.

dfrost:


In another thread, I asked this dame question and someone said it has benefits. There's no benefit than keeping your wards safe.

Even the Bible said 'go and learn from the creatures and ants'.

I am yet to see a dog or lion give it's young one away for training.

Even the whites, you hardly see them send their wards away at a tender age but trust us over here. Everyone wants to outdo each other and make more money. No one want s to sacrifice.

Now all the money you want to accumulate for the late boy, has it helped him in any way?

We rally need to calm down from this crazy material pursuit. We'll what do I know as a poor man?

“Even the whites”. Please just stop.

Who introduced schools to Africans? If you have never been to Europe, USA or Asia, please do not talk until you travel.

If you have been outside Nigeria, you would have seen that children are sent to boarding schools at very early ages, Infact as early as 6 years old. Or do you think it is like your country where people do not know what it takes for both parents to work and pay the bills for their homes?

It is very common that schools have very violent children. That is why in the USA for example you hear regularly of children carrying guns to school and various forms of violent acts.

Not attending boarding school is not a mark of failed parenthood. Not training your children while at home is the matter. What you allow your children do at home is exactly what they exhibit wherever they find themselves. So are you saying that those day school children who were killed by their classmates should also be attributed to boarding house issues? Or should those girls who get raped in their schools be blamed on their parents too?

“I am yet to see a dog...”. So you have never heard of orphaned or abandoned animals? Please bros what kind of ignorance are you exhibiting here?

Stop typing rubbish! Boarding schools have been there since time immemorial! Even government schools have good and well secured boarding facilities! And we are talking about a school that charges as high as a million naira!

I have always maintained that most of these expensive private schools are nothing but avenues for people to show class! It is not about quality education! But some unthinking people will not agree with me! They'll say it is poverty mentality that is making me to hold that opinion. Even cases like this will not teach people lessons!

Many government and missionary schools are far better than some of these private schools! Nonsense!!

#JusticeforSylvester!

We sometimes need to take justices in our hands

Those bastards and their wealthy parents should be exposed right now there’s nothing that should stop them from getting exposed. What nonsense if it were me I would burn down that school ..

And also Selfishness!

So dat she can Have more time for her Instagram and Tiktok videos!

In the 60's and 70,'s, Boarding schools was popular because Parents were living in Villages while Schools were in the City/State Capitals!..

Oizee:
u are reading it on FP and u are still asking?

What is your statistics for saying such? How many students have died in a boarding school due to violence? Does a boarding school churn out more violent students? Give me stats. And not just telling me to read the front page. Because I can also show you day students engaging in murder, cultism and drugs.

you are a bastard for this nonsense talk if it was your child would say this nonsense. Make ogun Kill your Papa for this Nonsense Talk. Thunder fire you bastard .

We only heard this news because Sylvester died. The police should extend their investigation beyond the immediate to unravel more truths. I won't be surprised if cultism has been in that school for ages cos it doesn't get to this point unless it is entrenched.
