Shameful indeed...

When you have to mention Biafran boys... I immediately stopped reading the whole story.

Biafran boys? No longer Igbo boys but Biafra...

So that was how the narrative was to you... Biafran boys attacked the CCT Chairman in his country..

Igbo boys is still wrong....all I saw there was traders

SarkinYarki:
This statement is even a worse disaster than the the assault , it woulda been better if he had kept quiet ...just look at the poorly lettered statement filled with grammatical blunder and to make matters worse they try to play the tribal card to gain support by bringing in Biafra

That Biafra part annoyed me....but it also brings to light how these men in power wield both the tribal and ethnic cards to their gain and the gullible populace fall for it.

Noticed how the letter didn't address the assault?

I understand..... nothing changes. It is not like when he was here he did anything

I hope he hasn't taken yellow fever vaccine and also discourages his church members from taking vaccines like polio vaccines.

fine baby girl... EFCC face your front. People are trying to survive the frustration of your appointers who have virtually stolen all the resources yet you go after Hustlers helping our death economy

on the contrary she wants to finish what is left of the people in this country

Patrioticman007:
The most common punishment for blasphemers was capital punishment through hanging or stoning, justified by the words of Leviticus 24:13–16. This for the Christians in the house, go & read your Bible.

However this effect of insanity, the man was supposed to be taken to mental asylum, however frustrated Nigerians transfered their anger on him.

This is not frustration this is calculated murder. If the police has any sense, they should arrest the murderers and sentence them to death ....it is time people should know Jesus andohammed can fight their own battles.

Camaro is for big boiz not your regular car so you can expect the parts to be scarce but if u live on the island u won't have any problems with the maintenance as alot of guys have it here. Benz can't even measure up

you were making sense till the last sentence.

Made619:
I know sometimes relationships don't go the way we plan them and most people go into relationships for different reasons but in a case where your heart was broken is it right to take back the gifts you once gave out of love?

Have come across stories of guys taking back their gifts, one even collected the television set he bought for his girl after brake up

What's your opinion on this pals?

Well I wouldn't do it and I won't argue against those who do.....in my opinion, the person who received the gift should be dutiful enough to return the gift.

Finance minister since 1971

Minster of finance for good 50 years.

So all that money couldn't save him.

Indeed everything is vanity.

save him at 75.....the poor people that die early nko?

Since 1971..........


Imagine having Emefiele till 2051.............

God forbid

luminouz:
Your last sentence is wrong. It never made many of us rebellious. We did bad and were corrected. What breeds rebellion is to be flogged,maltreated without being guilty or any reason at all.

On your first paragraph, Surely you can ask all these questions when the thief is with police,after being SACKED?

Speak for yourself I know how it affected me.

The point I was trying to make is why schools need to take out time to carry out research on rebellious children.

luminouz:
Archaic according to who?

The school is not the only institution you know. The home is another. So if his parents beat him like that too, you will take them to court?

They were and still are damned effective. The little decorum and cultural values still retained by our generation were forged on the altars of training by our parents and the school. The moral decadence rampant these days ain't due to bad economy alone but also lack of quality moral/ cultural training. You should see how liberalism has made the youths so utterly devoid of morals. They will train their kids like that too. Soon, it would be cool for a son to slap his father,so long he is 18years old.

According to several studies....reason why it has been outlawed in some countries.

I guess you don't see the bigger picture.....just take time out and read on the effects of corporal punishment on kids and you would get more insight. Like I mentioned, flogging never had any impact on me never corrected anything for me. On the contrary it helped reinforce my resolve to do the things I was flogged for. Other things shaped who I am today.

luminouz:
Your analogy even made your opinion worse. A bank fires a thieving staff immediately he/she is caught. The only other thing is to recover the stolen funds. Why on earth would you start asking why the theft took place when stealing is the number one sin in a financial institution. What reason would be feasible enough to justify stealing in a BANK as a staff? Can't you see that your case study is very wrong? If it's my personal business, I could ask him but what if that staff has a history of fraud and has been forgiven many times? (just like that boy must have been misbehaving upandan with his unserious chess games).

My position is this:

I believe in 'spare the rod and spoil the child' rule. The only exception is when the child is well behaved. A teenager has almost formed his own mindset and mentality and are at their most rebellious. For him to play chess while class goes on, shows a total disrespect to authority. How do we know how he behaves at home too? The school gave him capital punishment. I believe he won't play that chess tomorrow while class is ongoing. Lesson learnt. Win win for everyone.

My analogy is not wrong..... Because the reason why you investigate is to ensure that such doesn't repeat itself by putting controls in place or tweaking a system.

My point is flogging is Meant to be correctional, but the thing is we should be focused on preventatives. And prevention is better than cure. Flogging a child only makes the child more rebellious

Another madman....displaced herders? Where were they displaced from?

States are saying they don't want you roaming on their lands and you say they are creating problems.....dies this man know that the herders are the visitors?

Besides, their roaming was tolerated up until they broke the agreement to not steal, kill and destroy other people's livelihood.

Who exactly are they protecting themselves from? Rehabilitate with which money? What of the people they have killed, who takes the fall for the murders?

This man is either really dumb or really really dumb.

Anyways prisons are correctional facilities

luminouz:
Your first paragraph sounds noble but people have turned it into some clout chasing BS.

Second paragraph sounds bad if true, but then, life happens. Hope you got your revenge on the false accuser sha?

Revenge ke? My anger lasts at most a day.....then becomes water under the bridge. Can't even remember the names.

luminouz:
Your second paragraph is so ME. I'm a witness that overindulgence and pampering made children grow up as entitled, cultureless brats. I was taught from scratch to behave while in school,so I never had issues with any teacher.

First paragraph is funny. Teenagers need to be corrected,with cane, before they lose the last of their conscience. That's the teacher's experimental cure for the students negative experimentation. The positive ones get awards and scholarships.

That's archaic and I am sure studies will show that they are ineffective

luminouz:
Damn! In your haste to sound modern, you resorted to abuse like most emotional Nigerians and you even exonerated the boy? So a student playing chess in class during a lecture is protesting about what? Should that be the right question to even ask?

I have seen how you keep forgetting one thing. That child wasn't beaten for nothing. It shows not only lax parental training but disrespect for constituted authority. The latter can't be confined by the school.

Damn!!! You are one emotional dude

A student playing chess in class is wrong, but why was the child playing chess?

When you get to a corporate environment say a bank and one of your staff steals, would your first course of action be to fire the staff or investigate what pushed the staff to steal?

My positiin is this
- Child playing chess in class is wrong.
- Beating the child like an animal for playing chess in class is wrong.
- Right course of action is counsel the child and explain why you would need to punish him for his offence (punishment that doesn't involve flogging)
- win win for everyone.

luminouz:
Lol...the dude has a point but you forget that the boy could have flouted orders many times before. The teachers are only human and being a Catholic school, they believe in using the rod to correct a child. The welts are many yes, but the point of it is never to be insanely cruel to students but to teach them core values.

I would have attacked the teacher if the student never did anything wrong. But he did, and the fact that it's on SM right now shows how weak the brother or parents are. Is SM now everything? What stopped them from going to the school and thrashing it out with the principal or the priest? We wanna stay woke and forget core values in the process.

You are angry because your welts never healed. But you never told us what rule you flouted to make you get beaten in the first place. Model students never get beaten unjustly, which makes me wonder, what kind of student/kid were you to your teachers/parents?

it's on social media to create awareness of what is still going wrong in schools.

On the contrary I am not angry. And the unfortunate thing was I did nothing wrong. I was falsely accused and without any investigation was flogged.

luminouz:
I don't agree with you. In as much as the teachers are still humans, you as the student never obeyed the rule, that was why they beat you.

That is why they are teenagers.....they are in their experimental years as a teacher, you should guide them to not make wrong decisions..... Not flog them to stupor.

I doubt if anyone who looks inward truthfully can actually say it was the flogging they received that made them better.

luminouz:
Your first paragraph shows you haven't healed emotionally from the beating you received. Now I get your outbursts. Most times, we were beaten to correct us. The parents may overstep with the beating but I'm sure way back, we as kids did abominable things and prolly stressed our parents,hence the beating. I'm very sure you never repeated what made your folks beat you from then on.

I know there are a million and one ways to correct a child. But I won't prolly know the ones to use now,as I'm not yet a parent. But I know one thing, the correctional beatings I received helped me to stay on the right lane while young.

Your first sentence is wrong....I don't hold a grudge. And I have since forgotten the incident.

Secondly my parents did flog me, but it didn't stop me from committing the crime. I Just found more innovative ways to not get caught.

What actually stuck were the words of encouragement and insights.

I stole money from my mom once. On any day she would have beaten me and I would have done it again. What she did was gather my friends and told them what I did. From that day I understood what impact stealing was on those around me on myself and their perception of me. That had a 100 times more impact on me than any beating I ever received.

Magmata:
I have no problem with your opinions on what makes a man, but making it appear like an ideal process is what baffles me.

I understand how annoying and frustrating some students can be, but those stripes on that boy symbolizes nothing but hatred and anger.

Beating your students like an animal will only make them rigid not strong. If you owe your manliness to such experience, fine, but are you more manly than your contemporaries without such upbringing?

When you understand why people behave the way they do, you'll not be too hard when correcting them. The motive really matters and this very case is not of correction but damage.

You may not see sense in my submission until yam turned porridge in the process of senseless beating.

very good comment

KanuSE:
Don't let us ride on emotions and I clearly understand how brutish some Nigerian teachers can be. The teacher probably asked the student to not leave the class so as to prevent loitering/causing nuisance around the premises.

Good now we are beginning to ask the right questions. Those the school have a policy in place for those not offering a subject? Is there a library that students can go to when they are not offering a subject? What other activities can they give to them to keep their hands full?

The student's dissent has brought out some flaws in the system, but rather than have a wholistic view, they resorted to violence.

toplinetrtrend:
If you don't want your kid to be corrected in school, then you shouldn't fail in your duty as a parent at home

This is a failure of a teacher as a teacher. Not a parental problem.

The truth is a lot of our teachers have no business teaching. For one they are not mentally capable to carry the burden of influencing the lives of the kids placed under them.

How many students will call this teacher their favorite? Compare to those that take out time to encourage and actively seek to help students. Even if the student is still wayward, at a low point in their life, they would remember that they had/have someone who tried actively to help them and they can reach out to for help. That is the work of a teacher guidance not flogging.

Llight101:
Playing chess in class?
Why!!!
Some of these boys are just so stubborn. Those that attend Boarding Schools can attest to this.
There is something they are not telling us....the dialogue between the boys and the teacher.

Let's hear from both sides.

And what other side of the story are you expecting to hear that will warrant such beating?

dominique:
Playing chess while a class is in session, what kind of disrespectful spoilt brats are parents of nowadays raising?

raise yours let's see if he or she becomes president. Like a typical Nigerian we don't do a root cause analysis, this is why we keep repeating the same mistakes over and over.

Playing Chess in class is a form of protest. Why the child did it we don't know. Now we won't know whether it is the system in place that needs to be tweaked to prevent a repeat or the boy that needs some counseling or both. We should learn to get to the root of things, it helps to stem a tide.

Counseling is the way to go. But in Nigeria what do you want to counsel, when your counselor is always holding a cane.

Randy100:
Keep quiet joor. I chop beating Wella for secondary school and it made me a tough guy, I survived where others couldn't. I can't train a weak child. If you must know, my children will chop beating too, they won't die.

Poverty mentality.....because you suffered means your child should? Then don't bother bringing one into the world.

mrdharkchild:
U are just 1 of a kaZillion people.
I ain't majority, so r u.
Talk is always cheap, but the REALITY is all that matters.
Been beaten like this don't reduce u to a cow.
In a stage of a man's life he must b made to understand that suffering is a stage of life.

If he can't properly manage it, then at any point in like when it comes, they'd take d cowardly part. Assume a feminine identity, or commit suicide.
But what do I know.
Bring up yours, let me bring up mine.
How well u bring up yours will tell how much the society would be stained morally and socially.

on the contrary being beaten that way would make you submissive when anything becomes too tough you chicken out. Why do you think it is the millennials driving change? They have not been beaten to submission. You have.

You have been so beaten, you don't know your rights. You don't know that you pay the salary's of civil servants and the military and they shouldn't treat you anyhow.

That is why you are submissive to all the wrongs done to you. Because you remember that cane.....

terabyte002:
Social Media don take over our sanity in this part of the world........I just understand why dem put "the labour of our heroes past, shall never be in vain for Nigeria item" because they knew remaining generation would not get any sense than to scam people, do ritual, fuvk olosho, flaunt 6 pack, show breast, get paid and all.

Dem even born you well to look your teacher face, and even parents back then regards school as corrective institution aside from the learn but it seems 99% of young parents this days are happy to raise Olosho, scammer, ritualist, criminals from birth.

The ones that were flogged are your heartless politicians today. If you have too many scammers and oloshos....it is what your leaders brought by making it difficult for young people to grow in the right way when they denied them the infrastructure to aid such growth.

An idle mind is the devil's workshop isn't just a saying.

luminouz:
They are welts. They will heal bro

And what do you think the police do to killers? You don't think they beat them or you think they offer them malt and milk?

You guys would make terrible parents. Social media has made y'all weak.

welts my foot.....years later your so called welts are still visible on my back.

You don't flog a child that way and say you want to correct them. There are a million and one ways to punish them that doesn't involve drawing marks all over their body.
