An alleged incident at *Starville School in Jahi, Abuja🙆🏼‍♂️*

.A teacher claimed he slapped a student for reportedly pushing him twice. Later, during a meeting with the principal and the parents, the situation escalated when the parents began slapp!ng the teacher back too 😭💔.

Video cannot be uploaded because it is heavy.

Peoples Comments :

• That's what poverty has reduced the teaching profession to.

*The uncouth and untrained child becomes more arrogant in class; at the effrontery of rudely pushing the teacher again in the nearest future.*

• So terribly pathetic and the ministry of education will see this and will not doing anything about it

What are your views ??

This pure assault, any laws defending our teachers??

Private school teachers are indeed suffering in this country. The way the proprietors treat them is sometimes worse than slavery

There's a private school in Ikorodu side where the proprietor always frowns whenever teachers want to go home after school closes by 5pm. If he wants to call a meeting, the meeting won't start until after 5pm and will last nothing less than 2 hours.

It's really a curse to be poor in this country.

The parents are wrong and I hope the ministry of education...


Or the school authourity does something about the matter. They should be prosecuted for assault on the teacher.



However, how come the teacher couldn't even defend himself against their slaps. Oh okay, he can only retaliate against unruly defenseless little brats and not the bigger older brats who are his parents!

That exactly what Wike taught them.
We haven't seen anything yet.
By the time that country clocks another 10 years, people would look back only to weep.
Character builds a nation.

I believe the teacher didn't respond as he feared what the school might do to him afterwards. It's so unfortunate

I seriously think apart from NAPPS, there should be a union guiding private schools teachers and even private sectors employees (hotels, companies) because the insult and disgrace can diminish one’s self esteem.

I’m very sure nothing will be done and the man will get only apologies. If he still loves the remainder of his self esteem, he should quit the job now or next time he might be arrested for cautioning a student.

It was later reported that the school has expelled the student and banned the parents from visiting the school. The teacher was also sanctioned with a week salary.

That child is doomed, with parents like this.

That's how they breed bullies.

This is despicable. His parents will reap what they sow not too long from now.

I watched the video on telegram and just had to close it for my sanity 'cause I was literally boiling inside.

I can bypass the man that slapped him but you see the wife that slapped him was where I was uncomfortable, how will you a woman, wife and mother slap your son school teacher just because he was disciplined for wrongdoing, omo that teacher won't forget the experience in a long run.....

This is how parents build bully's as children when they themselves are bullies too....

Can someone get us the link to this story and the teacher's contact?

If you like , don't do anything possible to escape poverty .

The teacher couldn't defend himself, I guess he knows where he came from.. and the best thing to do was to just allow the assault, there's hunger in the land... He must have thought of.. if I lose this job, what will my wife and kids be eating.. don't blame him..

Well, his actions are inconsistent...

He should have thought his actions through to the end. And if the parents decide to hit him he shouldn't stand there like a coward unable to defend himself.

He was even shaking like a leaf while explaining his reason for slapping the kid.

You can't be a brave hero when dealing with a minor and suddenly start shaking when a bigger bully comes along.


All of them are bullies by the way... from the kid, teacher and parents. Just the biggest bully got his way!

Same thing happened to my ex at the school she works just about 2 weeks ago. A parent slapped her and promised to deal ruthlessly with her because she disciplined her son, just a week later (last Sunday) my ex died. I am still in shock till date

Kids like this are the ones that grow up and behave like Wike

Hmmmm.....

Most of those teachers too are worse than the devil.

I think they are frustrated because of the meagre pay


They act any how towards students whose parents don't grease their palms.

Every Nigerian always oppress anyone he could oppress.

Ohboy, to be a teacher isn't easy oooh.

Kudos to all teachers out there.

God will see you guys through.

Useless parents!

Your child pushed a teacher twice and got slapped for it, and you still had the effrontery to come fight the teacher.

The teacher taught your child what you failed to teach him at home!

Back in those days, if you did tried that with a teacher, you are finished! Your parents will add more to the existing beating you have got.

Shout out to all those parents. They don’t pamper kids into foolishness and stupidity. If you disrespect anybody, whether known or unknown, they will deal with you accordingly.

The school should supper their staff. That parent must be sued to court by the school. They should rally round the teacher.
The best way to approach the matter by the parent that is to report the matter to the school for appropriate investigation and action. If dem no come belleful then it can be taken to human rights, NSCDC or NPF.

What type of situation is this?

Guys read this quote and digest, if not poverty, e no for sup like this

Most Nigerians are oppressors. They just wait for the opportunity and the victim.

It's in our DNA.

Hope the teacher gets justice

I know the school won't do anything, they would not want to loose a customer
