I find it deeply concerning that a secondary school would discipline students by shaving an "X" shape into their hair. Such a practice can be humiliating and may have a negative impact on a child's self-esteem. While schools have a responsibility to enforce discipline and maintain standards, disciplinary measures should be reasonable, respectful, and focused on correcting behaviour rather than embarrassing students.
In my view, there are many more appropriate ways to address misconduct, such as counselling, detention, community service within the school, parental involvement, or other educational sanctions. Publicly marking students with unusual hairstyles risks causing unnecessary distress and ridicule from their peers.
Parents have a right to question the school's actions and seek clarification on the disciplinary policies that permitted such treatment. If they believe the school acted improperly or violated students' rights, they may wish to pursue the matter through formal complaints procedures and, where appropriate, obtain legal advice regarding their options.
Schools should aim to discipline students in a manner that preserves their dignity and promotes positive behavioural change, rather than using measures that could be perceived as degrading or humiliating. students do have legal rights, although schools also have authority to enforce discipline.
Some of the key rights that may be relevant are:


Right to dignity and respect – The Nigerian Constitution guarantees the right to the dignity of the human person, and the Child Rights Act also recognizes a child's right to dignity. Disciplinary measures that humiliate, degrade, or publicly shame students could potentially be challenged on this basis. [nigeriarights.gov.ng], [nigeriarights.gov.ng]


Protection from abuse and harmful treatment – The Child Rights Act seeks to protect children from physical and psychological abuse, exploitation, and other harmful practices. [nigeriarights.gov.ng], [awjai.org]


Right to education – Students have a right to receive education in a safe environment. Schools are expected to maintain discipline while respecting students' welfare and rights. [nigeriarights.gov.ng], [awjai.org]


Freedom from discrimination – Children are entitled to protection from discrimination and unfair treatment. [nigeriarights.gov.ng], [nigeriarights.gov.ng]


Regarding the specific issue of shaving an "X" into students' hair, whether it is illegal would depend on the circumstances, the school's rules, parental consent, and whether a court or regulatory body considers the action degrading or abusive. Merely being a military-style school does not automatically give it unlimited authority over students' appearance. [nigeriarights.gov.ng], [nigeriarights.gov.ng]
Parents who are concerned could:

Request an explanation from the school.
Review the school's disciplinary policy.
Submit a formal complaint to the school authorities.
Escalate the matter to the State Ministry of Education or relevant education board.
Seek independent legal advice if they believe their child's rights were violated.

From a personal perspective, many people would argue that marking a child with a distinctive hairstyle as punishment is unnecessarily humiliating and that more constructive disciplinary measures could achieve the same objective without causing embarrassment. Whether it amounts to a legal violation, however, would ultimately depend on the specific facts and applicable law.

So "y" shape would have been better?

Dreal1247:
Some persons who act as Jesus often request for people not to exercise leniency while they act as Jesus in the passion of Christ movies. This is for them to have a taste of what the Master went through in attempt to rescue mankind from the power of sin and death. Just imagine what Jesus went through.

I commit sin and I will still die so what the heck did he actually save me from?

How much was Naira before these fraud of a government came in? Now we want to be celebrating fraud in the name of achievement! You can fool some people sometimes, but you can't fool all the people all the time!

Try to understand na, no just dey talk just to stay relevant.
I don't like the current government but let's not judge with our dwarf knowledge of economy.
Floatation of dollars is just like removing subsidy na, which was a big fraud many children of the rich were involved in.
I knew of a guy then that used to buy dollars at official price and sell at black market price, thereby gaining massively on every 1k dollars he exchanged.
That's what's called arbitrage so eradicating such system isn't that bad

flexyrule:
In Senegal, 3 pieces of pepper is 100 CFA.

100 CFA = N260

That pepper there should be between 3000 to 4000 CFA, which translates to N7500 to N10,000

Never seen a lazy country like this before!

Terribly lazy people!

They have refused to farm, they rather import GMO and be using scale to weigh it.

That's a beautiful opportunity especially if there's no much bottle neck in exporting pepper to Senegal

Chubhie:
What is wrong with Nigerian men? Annie is a beautiful woman willing to mingle.

There's nothing wrong with Nigerian men, Annie is too attached to 2baba so such woman can hardly heal even if she has a new man.
