My goodness!!!!! This is terrible. Imagine the kind of animals being raised disguising as human beings. Where are their parents?? What is the school saying in response? Who is going to be held accountable??? These are the questions. Shocking!!!!

Boarding schools are no more safe.when my nephew called me to beg his mom to not let him go back to boarding school I didn’t hesitate to step in. The day he opened up to me about things that happen when lights are out I was shocked. Expensive school for that matter

May God rest his soul.
I served in Dowen College and the problem mostly is parents don’t want their children scolded by a teacher, teachers don’t want to lose jobs, school don’t want to lose money! Business for schl, jobs for teachers and spoilt brat for parents!

This is so awful. This reminds me of when my niece in one of these 7-digits paying school in Lekki told me that student use to beat teachers and school authority would rather disengage the teacher than punish the kids.
