Any school in Nigeria that cannot take responsible of the childern under their care should be closed so is this shool
CHAI , THIS MINISTER IS VERY WELL GROUNDED. SHE RESPECTS EVERYONE DESPITE HER POSITION................ KUDOS MA..
This is one of the performing minister. very real and street smart & not a pretender. Ministers that connect with the masses!
Akuko na egwu. Ndi real nukwaya!
Is it her job or the job of the Education Minister ?
I admire this minister. She took her ‘self’ out of the matter and handled it as a leader. She allowed people to speak, she listened and reassured the victims and others. Well done Madam.
I admire her too, but I will admire her more if she ensures all these measures of CCTV and who to monitor it also in our publis /government schools, they are humans too and their safety should be ensured as well.
Shout out from Europe 🇪🇺 kudos to the ministry of women affair and the minister of women affair Uju, I am watching these video many times with water dropping from my eyes, I am sympathise with the girl and her parents including all the past students bullying in that school and their parents
Our children's most have justice ⚖️ the school most not go unpunished
I can’t stand bullies.Thank you minister for standing up for what is right!
Thank you Honorable Minister
This minister of women affairs is complete vibe! Joy giver! God bless you more madam action!❤
I don't care what happened.Madam Minister ma, please take actions, Nigerians are angry.That girl must get justice
Did anyone realized that the father was also wiping his own tears while wiping his daughter tears? I felt very emotional.
I cried my eyes out, being a parent myself I can totally relate to his pain
I dont think this is the right way to resolve disputes. All the students involved should have been brought forward and exposed. The way the school management appears to be trying still to cover up,its disgusting. Its good the father was proactive.
The parents of that slapping student must be investigated, I think slapping people anyhow is in their DNA
Million of this is happening in public schools,who will fight for their justice? Minister of Education please let this extend to the ordinary children in public
For Namtira not to slap back, this goes to show that the parent did their best.
I see some comments here saying the ministers didn't handle it well. How many cases have you seen in Nigeria where a minister is this proactive? She did well. If you leave this matter for office and the rest it'll just die down and the bullying continues
School needs to start an antibullying education for their students. And introduce punishments for bullying
Yes oo
I was crying in pain. I hate bullys with all my heart.
I feel like hugging this Minister. It really shows she is an experienced school owner. God bless you.
The fault is in PARENTING oh. Parents wake up and raise your children and stop raising BEASTS in form of children.
The home is responsible for training their children, if every child is properly raised, the school would be a safe place. Every parent should take responsibility for raising responsible children. However, schools should have ZERO tolerance for any form of bullying or abuse. The parents of the bully should be held accountable for their child’s action
I align with you. So if the school is closed for 3 days other innocent students that should go about their education should suffer for it?
Bullie causes trauma of which could be lifelong trauma to the victim.
This school should be suspended for failure to protect this child. They have failed in their responsibility as a school.
They should pay dearly for this.
This will be traumatic for this girl.
3 days is no punishment for me
I am a teacher. Children hid things. You,parents, train your child to be bold and unbulliable. Teach them to be care but not that much. If she slapped back...once , two or ten times , you will know that bullies don't like attention!
@@ajilariyike I WILL NEVER EVER TEACH MY CHILD VIOLENCE. NEVER!!!!. What is bad is bad!!! That bullied girl is getting justice because she didn't revenge. Only God knows what would have happened if she had.
Please let's teach children virtues not vices o!!!?
@nanoosazuwa904 Good ....your child has never been BULLIED!!!!!I put one of.my sons in boxing...the bullies backed off just hearing he was going to professional boxing classes. Lolll....do you!
Ur indeed a mother and an advocate
Not only Nigerian are angry the world. Every one who saw the video was not happy. Am south African am angry 😢 very angry
Honestly I am surprised that the honourable minister is not pointing out the failure of parental values. I laugh at how parents totally shifts the discipline of the children to the school. The teacher s are not even allowed to discipline students in all these high fee paying schools
What a shame, if a school has students you need CCTV to monitor and curtail their behavior, then parenting and school administration has failed woefully...
I love the way this mothers came outside to stand against bullying & also shutting down the school
Na this no nonsense woman fit una for this failed school. Let the face of the bullies be publicized. Weldone Madam Uju
Teach your kids to stand up for themselves!!!!
It would have been worse
The minister asked a simple question "where is the girl that slapped her?" The teachers were talking about the boy when she was asking for the culprit who assaulted the girl . They want to cover it up. For that, the school should be sanctioned
Exactly
I noticed that too
BULLYING....is a serious action...people raise eye balls when bullring happens within some age gaps...but unfortunately BULLYING also takes place in our communities, in places of work even teachers bully students ...Bosses in offices bully their subordinates etc etc etc...Madams at home bully their maids...Maids in return bully Madams's children that are yet to have audible voices...😭😭😭
honestly this Minister is making so much sense
Truly 80 percent of the fault lies on the school,( Lets assume that the girl that was being bullied died in the process and there was no footage like the one we all watched to show what truly happened, i am certain that school and the parents of the bullies would have carefully spun a well crafted web of lies to cover up the incidence
It is a big shame on the School
The school doesnt have to be shut down because of actions of kids who have been raised by irresponsible parenting.
Maybe you did not see the video where some other students collaborated the evidence on the viral video that this has been happening in that school and when asked what has the school authority done. They said that when reported the bullies are never disciplined, what most do is settle the teachers and they are left to go. It goes to show the level of decadence in that school of the rich. And on anonymity a teacher made complaints of the use of drugs by students. I felt scared to my bones.
@@victoriaekenma4294 No I didn't. If that's the case then the school authority has some explanation to make then. Student issues should be dealt with in real time and decisively.
I hope the same efforts and energy used in addressing this matter in this private school should also be applied to public school across the country
Especially federal govt schools/college
I like this Minister. she had listening hear to all contributors .
Say No to bully. God bless the Minister of women affairs for intervening.
I love this woman
My type
Outspoken
Powerful
Please help the poor children in public schools 🙏
If this happened in America, they will arrest the offender and put her in a juvenile detention. Lawyers will rush the victim's parents and the school will be sued. No time for all these long talk.
The other children do not need to suffer,you do not need to close the school,Nigeria Education suffer too much no point closing school,let the children that did this pay the price.
This is an eye opener. If not don like this, other schools won't understand. Nigerians, we like to learn the hard way.
The other children are not been punished but protected from further incidents, the school should be closed so that they and other schools can learn a lesson.
Yes mrs Uju is right. Teachers also bully students not only children ma. I was bullied by a teacher in isi because I decided not to give in to his amorous advances. I was severely traumatised and no one heard my cry# say no to bullying.
You should've named the teacher.
@@user-kt8cu4nc3h his name is Mr Dipo Akinsooto and he is an English teacher in isi. I tried to fight but no one cared
😢sorry the teacher is a demon, he/she missed their way to h3ll fire. They are everywhere, some even encourage kids to bully other kids claiming thuis child is dominant and this child is too timid.
I am a Grandma I wept for the girl bullied when I was watching the video.
The school should be closed for some days and those girls should be expelled.
Mrs minister. Why three days?. It should be indefinite until a full and unhindered investigation is concluded.
This is sheer neglect and irresponsibility and lack of proper supervision by the school authorities. Lack of moral upbringing and discipline. The Mininister should set standards for all our our schools worse things are happening in other schools. Thanks.Remember a students died in Dowen College. Private schools should not be money making enterprises but moral and educational institutions.
The girl being bullied is very pretty..They Are jealous of her beauty
Yes!
Im sure they are
More power to the hon. Minister, these kinds of issues shouldn't be addressed by correspondence, but from the heart and proactively for all Nigerians to see, it's healing therapy for that innocent girl too, boy she's an angel❤️
Good job ma, Please could you also address other issues like Dowen school where a student died mysteriously and the parents has been seeking for justice for the student and lot more others. Biko......
I’m so proud how this issue has been dealt with .. The UK has to learn from it .. when your child is bullied here UK nothing is done about it
This case makes me emotional. The Father & the child are refined. I feel the Father's pain; like you feel helpless not being able to protect your child from harm or trauma.
Bullying in school has resulted to suicide of so many kids,thus should be taken seriously
Did I just heard the head of school saying bullying is limited. Is it supposed to happen at all.? Total rubbish.
None of the children should be expelled rather they need psychotherapy. It is not time to blame, let the school PTA deal with this issue. Schools should be more alert and continually train their staff, teachers and students on the demerits of bullying.
I like the urgent intervention of the Minister of Women Affairs. Assuming she wasn't in Nigeria, she can then send a representative. She is equal to the task and knows her onions. She defended the victim's parents, the victim, other students and guardians, and even the school and the culprit. She ensured she sat on the fence and letting the school knows the next step to take.
When a house is on fire, if urgent attention is not given, it could escalate and only God knows who and who could be victims.
My intake in all these is those students in public schools whose parents do not have required amount to send them to private school. They are mostly bullied daily without any action being taken against the culprits.
I must concern the victim here. She was so calm while receiving all those slaps. I embraced her composure and disposition. She came from a well-bred and nurtured family background. Her father even said if his children should misbehave, they learn those bad behaviors in the school not at home.
A student who slaps other students at freewill may likely come from her family where he or she is exposed to such devilish and illicit behaviors.
Wow! I really love you Madam Minister of Women and Children's affairs.
You really did a great job by making your coming have a significant impact.
And as little girl bullied, we are so sorry about what happened. Nigerians are strongly behind you.
#Justice
This will serve as a deterrent to other students.
They should made a law in school that bullying in school is not acceptable at all. Before any student is admitted in school, they should sign a paper stating this.
Agreed. 👍🏾👍🏾
That's the way to go our honourable minister.Pls keep up the good work .
Carry on the good work, my honorable Minister of Women Affairs.
God bless you minister Uju for the prompt action.
Listen, this has been going on for too long. The school staff has accommodated it by turning away. If the leaders are not disciplined, they will retaliate on this poor girl. No child should go through this while administrators look the other way. Enough is enough
This school has failed woefully to protect the children the parents paid so much to look after. For the meantime the school should be shut down until the victim of this irresponsible act of the school is fully compensated by the school. This PTA chairman is a fool. Does he realize the trauma this innocent girl is going through and the effect this will be having in the rest of her life? The ministry of Education should closely monitor what is going on in all our public and private schools.
I want to know if the students of this school are academically sound please because it seems the Management is not fit.
British school my foot.Horible bullying has been going on in that school..
This minister is a very good, well composed and calm woman. This is the first time i am seeing her, and i am impressed with her personality. greater you ma'am.
The other girl that was slapping namtira and the main slapper should be banned to attend any school in nigera, just like how outside country discipline… discipline them and show a lesson to other schools and the children
Exactly
Support ur comment
I wish all Nigerian children can have the privilege of attending good schools where their rights are upheld by the state. I wonder who's protecting the right of an innocent pupil or student in those interior villages where they're learning under the trees and sitting on the floor and probably haven't had their breakfast to school. It's a pity that in Nigeria it's only the lives and rights of the elites that matters and garners sympathy. I pity Nigerian poor children.
What have they done to Dowen college in Lagos that a boy was bullied and even killed. The school is open and have moved on from his death because the owner knows the political elites.
The lady that was assaulted or bullied as the case may be ...hasn't even said anything in exact about what really transpired between them , she kept cutting corners , what was the content of their discussion , for how long has the feud been ongoing , more and more information are needed , both the student and the school are complacent.
Love this 🥰Thank you mah for being transparent. God bless Nigeria 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬
This matter needs to be addressed by the Police and Social Services because it's assault and concerns a minor 😢
I'm so proud of this minister she's doing an amazing job👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
When majority of us turn against discipline and celebrate indiscipline, what do you expect?
Thank you. No discipline again in schools. If there's discipline and the children knows there's punishment for every crime committed,they'll never behave that way. If a teacher corrects the students. If they expect those children,won't they go to another school since they have money. Let there be discipline,it'll decrease all these. Thank God that it was discovered earlier, and parents should help their children's life by disciplining them at home so they'll know what is right and wrong.
She is still traumatised. She needs to be well taken care of. Needs to see a therapist ASAP.
Thank you Minister for standing up for the voiceless.
Our minister, you're a good mother I like your stand on this issue. That poor girl must get adequate and fair justice.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
All these people in the comment section saying that the school shouldn't be shut down are part of the reason why Nigeria is like this.
What is 3 days compared to the long lasting trauma that the bullied student (and all other numerous undetected bullying that must have gone and possibly still going on in the school) that they cannot bear while investigations and group counselling / therapy is carried out among the students?
Or are they waiting yet for another student death to happen before they think its significant enough to close the school for a period and investigate and ensure all necessary measures to prevent/mitigate future occurrences are put in place?
So the school should continue operating like nothing happened because the child who got bullied is so insignificant that only her should face the consequences of the failure of the school to have prevented the bullying from happeningin the first place?
Shutting the school down for 3 days isn't too much of a price to pay for the COLLECTIVE GOOD of all the students in that school going forward. It will also ensure a sense of COLLECTIVE responsibility among the students to speak out and not condone bullying even if they are not the direct victims, as was seen in this case where severalof them were watching and did nothing; some were even laughing!!!
So 3 days closure is not too much of a sanction. 3 days of accademic activity out of a whole term wouldn't isn't a big deal if we want to be very honest.
People should stop this selfish attitude of "what about the other children in the school"..........what about the child that was bullied? What if she was maimed or had died in the process ? What about the children among them who are going to be future victims ?
Everyone wants to move on when its not their child that is involved. Such selfish and self-serving lots.
God bless you ma, they must surely feel your coming ma, my husband is running a school too, but he make sure each class has a class teacher, and nothing must happen to any of your class student,i were the girl parent i will not take it lightly with the school and the other girl parent
No abuse on our female children ,our girsl children must be protected at all time.I respect her father and the woman for women affairs for speaking up
She should not be forced in front of cameras right now. She should be home being protected and loved. She sounds like she’s reliving it.
I really appreciate the Minister for what she is doing. Thank you ma'am. I was in a boarding school and my school had a no bullying policy, if you're reported, it an immediate expulsion, no suspension or any first offense basis, they won't even bother to call your parents, they just send you out of the facility with a letter to your parents. Even Ss3 students writing waec can be expelled.
Why? go to 9:52 and start from there then ask yourself does that line of statement mean anything to you and anyone who cares to know no one cares about them?
It is sad to see how far these schools will go to cover a perpetrator. This school has not displayed a zero tolerance to bullying or bullies in thier actions and speech.
They shouldn't close the school but the children who are bullies should get expelled 😁
Thank you madam honourable minister for your stance on this matter ma.
The PTA chairman defending the school will he say the same thing if his daughter was the one bullied ?
Thank you our Honourable beautiful Minister. Keep up the good work
The Minister's visit is a welcome idea. Sincerely theMinister was not coordinated, I hope the Minister will go to the rural areas in Borno, Rivers, Anambra, Oyo etc. Just interested in shutting down the school. Children were kidnapped, bullied in other places, she should kindly move round the country to ensure bullying can stop not only against girls but also the boys
THANK YOU MA'AM! ITS NOT A CASE OF EXPULSION, ITS A CASE OF PREVENTING IT FROM HAPPENING,
The Principal is not on top of matters
The poor girl looks traumatized and depressed. I wish I could hold her now.
This is a serious issue. My friends daughter----- herself several years ago because of bullying. Another case I can't forget here is a young boy that snapped after he was bullied for such a long time. The boy is currently serving time here in New York. The point I'm making here is to let people realize how serious the effects of bullying are. The school needs to take responsibility and demonstrate that they will train the entire school on antibullying.
It touched me so much when she touched the mother of the bullied and said "we are here for you" it's good to know that as a Nigerian that your voice can be heard and that justice be done.
I really like this minister , one of the best I have ever seen , good job Ma !
Please try and put up a fight when next you meet such a monster. The parents of such a monster should be ashamed of themselves.
I understand the Minister’s point. The school should organise weekly anti bullying classes compulsory for all students and create a contact point that is safe for students to report bullying
The School should be heavily fine.. so that next time and as a scapegoat to other schools. They will take drastic measures on such recurrence and make a firm rules on student admission reading out riot act to all students and their parents. This will give a lasting solution to the recurrent bullying in Private schools and same should be accorded to public schools.
@@adeoyeabiona4745 the fine is going to who? If it’s the government, I don’t think it’s necessary instead they should award the girl a partial scholarship to appease the parents. The school is still a business tho, the Minister should implement policies against bullying for all schools, private and public if they want to make a solid change across the nation
Well done madam minister. Let's be realistic with ourselves. Not only the girl who assaulted the fellow student. What of the students around that were supporting her in that act. As an reductionist, I think the issue should be investigated very well before it leads to death. Ma you still have to set up a committee to investigate the matter because another parent also showed an evidence. Sir, when we were small there was no CCTV and things went on fine. Let the school employ that would involve in monitoring everywhere in the school.
As an Educationist.
I love this woman , I love an action lady like this. Good job ma, well-done you are doing well. Keep doing what you are doing . Godbless you for standing up for us. As a parent is very painful seeing your children bullied, and molested which could lead to death just like the death of that little boy in dowen college! 😭Godbless you ma..
Yes, I remember him and I cried So hard as if he were my child 😢😢
Action my foot!!! Bullshit same old Nigerian politician script so that to this same reaction of " action lady action man " will be gotten.
I love this minister. She is so down to earth, but where is where is the Ministry of Education?
What of the ones that is happening in public schools, am not supporting bullying, if you want to see bullying go public schools madam minister
shutting down the school even for a month is not a punitive measure. After all, the school is a business. one month of shutdown school fess will not be deducted from the parents fees. in retrogress the Children will only have loss of education that they are paying for. They should rather give the bullied girl 3 years school free scholarship. then give the Bully the option of rustication or pay one term school fees to the bullied girl.
I beg the father’s parents should sue the school for bullying. Thanks
