Oga,stop being emotional here ! You and I both know that you can't take everything a child says seriously. Those who do are just sharing brain cells with that lady in Oyo state that stormed a school with thugs.

except if u trained your kid to lie. I have kids, if they complained to me about issues twice, I will certainly look into it not talking about death threats, I will change the kid from the school and report to police cuz of others

OPINION: Why I Blame Oromoni Snr For His Son's Death, And What We Can Learn From It

We have all been reading news about the death of a 12-year-young lad at the high-brow Dowen College, Lekki. After watching some family photos of the Oromonis, and seeing how much the family loved the younger Sylvester, I've been weeping uncontrollably. Somehow, I even feel that Sylvester Jnr is my own blood.

But, it pains me even more to learn that the boy's family had all it would have taken to save him but didn't...unfortunately. It's so painful.

I know that shallow sentiments are flying around right now concerning the boy's death. Therefore, many people here are going to take their fangs out against me and say how I am cruel, insensitive, and satanic for daring to blame the aching family (especially the father) for young Sylvester's death.

You see, one of the reasons why Nigeria remains so backward is that we largely seem to lack the maturity of truly learning lessons from our experiences - even on the political space. We seem to enjoy getting into trouble in order to complain about our ugly situations. Looks like we even enjoy to get the sympathy which has absolutely nothing good to add to our lives.

If I fail to share the light I have about his family's responsibility for Sylvester's death now that the event is fresh, I see more families failing to learn the lesson hidden in the boy's premature death (which is the only good thing that can come out of the evil). So, in spite of the expected criticisms, why am I going ahead to blame Sylvester's older ones - and especially his father - for the boy's death? See why:

I read a report by The Punch on the incident where Late Sylvester's father is quoted as saying...



Imagine that! The bullying on their son got to the point that he was being asked to talk about her sister's privates. It got to a point where they had to withdraw Sylvester's only elder sister left at Bowen. Yet, they saw no reason enough to also withdraw their darling son to save him from such profound abuse.

Even more indicting is the fact that Oromoni Snr was aware, as early as the last term, that his young son was getting death threats from the bullies to the extent that he was getting traumatic! Hah!!! As the Punch report quotes him as saying about his dead son,



As you can see, he got this gory report as far back as when younger Sylvester's two elder sisters were still at Bowen. He considered withdrawing him, but changed his mind because the lad still enjoyed some protection from his elder sisters. But, why did you (Oromoni Snr) still leave the little boy at Bowen with such a history of getting bullied, even after his two elder sisters left the school? Why?

This is happening in the first school term. As early as last term, you (Oromoni Snr) knew that your little son was being bullied to the point of getting traumatic. So, why didn't you withdraw him? You can't tell us that you took him back there to complete the school year's curriculum since that was the last term of the year. I can't find any reason enough to take back the child to a place where he was getting so abused that he was getting traumatic without any significant intervention from the school managers.

From my personal appreciation of Oromoni Snr, it seems to me that he was blinded and deafened by the arrogance of having a child at high-brow Dowen. I'm aware of how cruel this my perception might sound. I could be wrong also. But, I see many Nigerian parents making that same mistake of letting such shallow considerations becloud their reasoning. If only we can learn, from this painful death, to be less vain than this.

What has happened has happened. As painful as it is, the only good thing that can come out of it are the lessons that we can learn from it. These lessons would be useless to the extent that they don't help us to prevent a repeat of such an incident individually and otherwise.

I totally agreed with you. I don't need it to get to the point of threat before removing my kid. I think the man was careless.

Sigggy:
If you are a canadian woman and you're reading this, the Lord said you're my wife

why Canadian, what happens to Chadian or Nigerien?

Maybe he has mental problem, their is need to always evaluate our security personnel. The blame should be on the police administration

nzeobi:
Nigeria and Nigerians should learn from this oh, Chinese are very strict and mean and have no space for sympathy if you default.

Maybe when we default in our payments in loans since oil will likely be useless then, they will asked for MMIA, apapa and tincan or they will even force some of our citizens to become labourers and the politicians who built the feel good projects will be abroad with their families

nothing to learn as we owe them much more money than Uganda so we should all prepare for China takeover of Nigeria and Nigerians as slaves

Alphafeezay:
Incredible!!!!


I fail maths tire

bad habit, don't try that again

Nnamdi Kanu should pray that Tinubu does not become president and meet him in DSS.

This one he is crying about pillow will be child's play, compared to what Tinubu will do to him.

Simdyofficial:
Seun will not do me anything of I tell you the fact that your porous brain needs repair if you can't read and understand what I wrote there. Did u see any misconduct in what I said there? Abi u wan dey whine me ni

you just confirm it. Again my harmless advice, watch your public conduct.

Joysticks:
For all the critics that buhari and his dss-bandits have used propaganda to illegally arrest their directors,people's gazette,Sahara reporters, premium times,yinka odumakin,Nnamdi Kanu ipob,etc,it is only amnesty international that Buhari's government have not find one accusation to invade it headquarters and arrest anyone.
I think it is because AI is not a Nigeria institutional body.If not,DSS-bandits for don kidnap their oga.

they can't try it. Ai is like UN and every other international organisation, they can't dream it.

Simdyofficial:
Haha. I have been restricted 7 times this year for 30days. Facebook is misbehaving. There was one I posted a pix then a good friend said mama Facebook and I commented ''I go beat u oo''. Next thing, Facebook restricted my account. I could only msg. No liking or commenting or adding of friends. Crazy mhen

then watch your public conduct beyond Facebook.

Lol all these politicians, what are their criteria before choosing anyone? I thought competent should be first. The same orji that did nothing in Abia when he was a governor?

adekolaelect:
The Ipob guys will avoid this like Ebola or Covid 19.

see yoruba boy. In as much as I don't like ipob and the chest beating of igbo boys, they support their own than yoruba. Just imagine Sunday igbo fighting fulani just to protect them, they abandon him in prison in Benin.

SonofDevil:
baba shut up. If your prayers or curses re working your life will not be miserable to the extent that you will be throwing curse all over the Internet like a frustrated dingbat.

Notice how this man did not mention one governor from the SE, even though the biggest thieves come from his region as well, like TA Orji who stole 500 billion

Ethnic bigotry is like cancer, do better sir. This also applies to seunmsg & airminem as well, the Yoruba and Fulani supremacists.

500 billion? Lol, Abia can't earn that in 8years

9 years
