  1. The press coverage is unnecessary. Where is the Nigerian Broadcasting Cimmission??? These are minors who should be protected from unnecessary press coverage.

    These are all children who, as they say, will always be children. The children involved need to be rehabilitated.

    Expelling the offender will not serve any purpose. With proper rehabilitation, the two girls can become best of friends and advocates against bullying.

    Nigeria runs a system of bullies. INEC bullied the electorate. NEPA ( forget the new names!) bullies the whole nation. The politicians bully the ruled. Governors bully their citizens like Ben Ayade, Ganduje, El-Rufai, Ikpeazu, Yahaya Bello etc. When you steal the money of the people and spend more than a billion Naira to pay the school fees of your children in advance, while owing workers' salaries for years, this is financial bullying.

    Herdsmen, kidnappers, armed robbers bully the populace ar will.

    Bank workers are one of the most bullied groups in Nigeria.

    Some of these bullies are now commenting on the school event and asking for the offender to be punished, while the log of wood has covered both their eyes.

  2. Though I do not align with some punishments like jail or expelling her which can have damaging effect on her future but I believe some community works as a form of punishment can go long way

  3. Does anyone else have a problem with the name of this school and what its name says about our colonial mentality. I'm wondering how any institution, not to talk of a school, with any pride or dignity can name its self The "British International School". Have we lost our minds? I currently live in the UK. Recently I was curious and I researched to find out if the British named even one road ….. not to talk of an institution after any Nigerian ….. I couldn't find one. And yet we have institutions, buildings, areas etc named after the very same people who enslaved us, colonised us, demonised our culture and exploited our natural resources … till today. The whole of Nigeria was named by a European, we have places like Victoria Island, Port Harcourt, Lagos are all place names which link back to our colonial oppressors. SMDH. We need to wake up.

  4. I disagree with the action taken to address this bullying issue. Shutting the school down for three days will primarily punish the majority of the innocent students who were not involved in this particular case. I also believe that expelling the main perpetrator i.e. Maryam Hassan, is an over the top punishment for this girl. She did wrong but deserves a second chance. We as a society need to help people like her to mend their ways. If not they will pop up later on else where and cause even more harm.

  5. The students involved must be dismissed immediately and Nigeria should state clearly that this will not be tolerated. I don’t buy this apology. It is only because she was bursted. This is 2024. Unbelievable!

  6. So this is the demon that was slapping a fellow student. See her stupid face. She is evil and wicked. She should be expelled from the school immediately.

  7. MUSHROOM SCHOOLS MUSHROOM EDUCATION (NO EDUCATION): Establishing, owning, and operating schools, colleges, and universities in Nigeria has become a means for individuals to stroke their egos and exploit the public, filling the void left by the government's egregious failures in delivering quality education. Through both neglect and misguided actions, federal and state governments have shirked their duty to provide accessible, high-quality education for the population. This abdication of a core governmental responsibility has paved the way for the rampant proliferation of substandard educational institutions that levy exorbitant fees while delivering subpar education to the masses.

    The ramifications of this governmental negligence are profound. With the absence of effective oversight and regulation, entrepreneurs and individuals with varying motives have seized the opportunity to establish educational institutions. However, instead of prioritizing educational excellence and student welfare, these entities often prioritize profit-making and self-aggrandizement. Consequently, the landscape is now rife with a plethora of institutions that prioritize quantity over quality, luring unsuspecting students and parents with promises of education but delivering nothing but disappointment.

    The consequences of this phenomenon extend beyond financial exploitation. Not only are students and their families burdened with hefty fees, but they also receive an education that fails to equip them with the skills, knowledge, and competencies necessary for personal and societal advancement. Substandard infrastructure, inadequately trained faculty, outdated curricula, and limited resources further compound the problem, perpetuating a cycle of educational mediocrity.

    Moreover, the proliferation of substandard schools undermines the credibility and reputation of Nigeria's education system both domestically and internationally. It erodes confidence in the value of Nigerian qualifications and diplomas, hindering the prospects of graduates seeking employment or further education opportunities.

    Addressing this crisis requires concerted efforts from both governmental and non-governmental stakeholders. Government bodies must prioritize education as a fundamental right and allocate adequate resources to improve infrastructure, enhance teacher training programs, and enforce stringent standards for educational institutions. Additionally, mechanisms for accountability and quality assurance must be strengthened to weed out unscrupulous operators and ensure that only institutions meeting rigorous standards are allowed to operate.

    Simultaneously, public awareness campaigns should be initiated to educate students and parents about their rights and empower them to make informed choices when selecting educational institutions. By fostering a culture of accountability, transparency, and excellence, Nigeria can begin to reverse the trend of educational exploitation and pave the way for a brighter future for its citizens.

  8. A SCHOOL IS FOR LEARNING NOT BOXING, WRESTLING, REARING ANIMALS OR PRODUCING FISH
    Respect, adherence to rules, establishment of routine, responsible behaviour, and clear boundaries are fundamental elements that must underpin the development of self-discipline, diligence, and a sense of duty among both students and parents. These values are essential for cultivating safe and productive learning environments within schools. Regrettably, in recent times, some educational institutions have degenerated into what can only be described as glorified concrete zoos, where disorder and violence overshadow the pursuit of education.
    It is essential for students and parents alike to embrace these foundational principles to ensure that schools remain safe havens for learning, rather than environments marred by chaos and conflict. No teacher enters the profession expecting to endure insults, assaults, humiliations, denigrations, or disrespect of any kind. Similarly, no student or parent should expect to receive such treatment within the school setting.
    Urgent and concerted efforts are required at all levels to foster a culture of respect, accountability, and safety within schools. By prioritizing the promotion of positive behaviour and mutual respect among students, parents, and educators, we can work towards creating environments where learning can flourish, and the well-being of all stakeholders is safeguarded. Only through collective action and a commitment to upholding these values can we mitigate the damaging effects of misconduct and violence within our schools and communities.
    Students (and parents) interested in boxing can enrol at a local boxing club; those interested in wrestling can join WWE; and those who believe they are or wish to act like animals can simply go to the zoo or any fish pond. A school is a place for learning and not for boxing, wrestling, raising animals or producing fish.

  9. By appearing, THIS slapper is forced to face the consequences, and accept responsibility for her actions; a very valuable life lesson which she has NOW learnt publicly! Kudos to HER family for the forced appearance…
    …unlike the families of the other girl (there appears to be 2 assaulters in the clip), and the abetting boy. To them: karma will ALWAYS deliver, it can't be outrun!

  10. I have two. If somebody slapped my child, I will not take it funny with that child and my children will never bully people's children because they no dat bullying is ungodly

  11. They should call a parents teachers association meeting after deciplinary action and then caution parents and make them understand that there will be worse consequences if such a thing happens again.
