Mother in an intense altercation with BookWorkShop College teachers and workers in Lagos over kicking daughter out for late coming.

A Nigerian mother has taken to social media to express her outrage at a Lagos-based school for sending her daughter home due to late arrival.

In the now-viral video, the woman, whose daughter was identified as Favour, claimed that her daughter was sent home from school because she arrived late.

She further alleged that when she contacted the principal to protest against the school's decision, she was met with insults and disrespect, stating that the action would have put her daughter in danger.

According to the mother, she had no choice but to visit the school in person, also got kicked out as well.

She said, "Good morning, guys so I met the principal, they just kicked me out of the school building, and now they are saying I can't make a video.

"Favour came to school by 8:30 today, and they threw her out of school. They don't know if I'm at home or not. Not for any reason because she came late; if I were the one who drove favour to school, by 8:30, I'm definitely sure they would not throw her out of school.

"If she came with the school bus, sometimes the bus gets to school by 10; they will definitely not throw her out of the school.

"I called the principal on the phone immediately after Favour got home because I was shocked because I was about to leave the house, and this man started insulting me on the phone and cutting the phone off.

"I have to come physically, and he is doing the same thing."

The principal needs to undergo customer service training.

Put your daughter in another school and allow us hear word abeg.... or are they giving you discount in that school?!🤔

I for one I'm glad Nigeria still have schools where teachers and principals don't worship students parents. Good one. Your daughter came to school by 8:30 and you still have mouth to rant...

For what? Nigerians are difficult clients, you relate with them as you deem fit.

In those days most schools lock their gate by 8:10, then in public schools, coming by 8:30 is like not coming at all because u will clear Grass all through the lessons period. Social media has made some parents to forget how they went to school then. They are quick to rush to the Internet to chase what I can't understand.

If you stay in Lagos, you wouldn't make such statement
You see people leaving their houses by 4 am just to get to work on time, due to hold up.

So sending the child back home was the best option What if something had happened if the child was your own, will you be happy

Between the mother and the school, there must be an outstanding issue. The business is very competitive and schools want to have as many students as possible. We need to hear from the school too.

Again, schools need to be more understanding with time. Parents have various reasons why children get to school late. Some can be traffic. Some can be finance. Some can be domestic disagreements leading to delay in going to school. For some reason the car fails to start; parents cannot find the mechanic, etc. There has to be patience and parents must always remember to put calls across to the school authorities when such things come up.

May God help parents and schools.

Why sending her back home for late coming? What if the schoolchild was eventually abducted while returning home?
