How is this a misplaced priority? Do you want sec offenders and other violent criminals to be having easy access to minors? This is an excellent idea and only criminals.amd ex convicts won't want it implemented

How many have you seen having access to minors, they left the looters that is causing havoc to this country, this the best they can think of when millions of dollars are looted out of the country daily and here you are praising them

You should also do same for politicians

Budget for screening teachers' background should be deployed to their welfare first.


Teachers deserve better

I saw my secondary school Math teacher, retired, a very sound and exceptional man....... I wept inside



Meanwhile,

Keep on insulting teachers....it's not you people's fault. Na teachers just choose to be calm and waiting for our rewards in heaven...😏😏😏

This one does not know that police have criminal databases stored digitally in developed countries. In fact some third world countries like have this system in place.

How am I expected to know when there are no known records of a person's criminal history? So because looters have not been caught, convicted pedophiles should be allowed easy access to minors? Make it make sense! So in the next 700 years, if looting have not been contained, ex convicts should be free to mingle with our children? Its very obvious you're NOT a parent.

I can see that the minister has nothing serious to do.
Characters are needed.

This country do not have any database for crime.

In other countries, once you are arrested by the police, they will enter it into your social number.

But in Nigeria, no such record of past criminal involvement is kept anywhere.

Good and for the Police too, this should be included

spinna:
Lol screening teachers when you haven't screened police, armed forces and public office holders

And even screening themselves

I visited a police station to have an extract of a robbery report I made a week earlier for insurance purposes. To my surprise, a female constable typed the report for me from their police log with hunch back computer.
Our police stations are under funded. Bashing them for collecting money before they render any service is unfair sometimes.

SmartPolician:
The last time I visited a police station, I didn't see a computer. Does it mean we have an analogue police?

Nigeria Police should have a database (like WAEC) where people can buy scratch cards to get the criminal records of all Nigerians, including the president's.

In fact, there should be interministerial collaborations among the judiciary, interior, defence and police affairs to maintain the database of all Nigerians who have a criminal past.

It’s useless looking for such offenders among those who aren’t even teachers.

Their improvement in life and career is the most important thing.

Asides that, it’s a misplaced priority

Nigeria leaders hijacked all the country wealth inside their personal pocket.

Can you imagine in our sport sector in this country, we can boast of a digital board in our stadium, while kenya that Nigeria is bigger than, has a good stadium with digital board.

Digital board is that long-lining placards around the pitch, close to the throwing line.

Only this observation made me to lose hope in this country!

Digital board is that long-lining placards around the pitch, showing adverts that are constantly moving on the board close to the throwing line.

U no go where computer dey oga... Or maybe na local station you go where they have limited access to personnel and equipment.......

Ah!
You must be living in 10,000BC!

Your past do matters in relationship, but its not enough fact to use it to analyse one's present character or intelligence.

Tohsynetita1:
Meanwhile one nuisance was arguing with me that your past doesn’t matter even in relationship.
Some people here will just yarn any nonsense

Majority of teachers in Private schools are into that because of lack of employment in the country. Some of them are koee intelligent and can even teach better than those that did 'education'. This effort by the government aimed at screening them out as 'unqualified' is nothing but rubbing salt into injury.

If only FG had introduced criminal record screening for politicians...

At least 1 state governor, 2 top cabinet members and the President wont be in the position they are in today.

Lets screen criminals

Kundus to the FG for this but I believe we should start from the public office holders and polithiefcians

Comment with proof, don't comment based on what you heard, how many ex convicts have you seen having access to minors. Beside, hardly do you see ex convicts going into teaching rather they become celebrated politicians eg Orji Kalu. Let us be honest to ourselves, this is pure misplaced priority

Leadership by example...When will they start screening politicians with criminal records?

On top peanuts wey Dem dey collect. Sometimes I wonder if teachers ever offended Nigeria. I wonder what they did to our founding fathers. People who are supposed to be the most celebrated as the real bedrock of our nation are treated worse than scums. How many senators we screened for criminal records .

What about for politicians? If we had that some people would not be in power today

Una no screen ogunlere amonda bola Ahmed tinubu ?

Highly misplaced priority.

Lol! Na Teachers you wan screen. What of Politicians, public office holders.

abuhusna1:
You just want to be on opposite side of every development. If you have 5 problems and solved one you are left with 4. In Western world you cannot enter a school class without criminal record check. This is a good step

No brother I am not one of those pained by every good news that happens in this country. This administration has taken many admirable strides. But one major issue..maybe even THE main issue of Nigeria is when so many of the people meant to catch criminals are the criminals themselves. So i feel police must be screened and purged First Otherwise who will arrest the teachers found wanting without being influenced by bribes. I agree with you its a good step
