I’m guessing we all saw the funny video trending of a little Warri girl who preferred to be flogged than sent home for not paying her school fees? It was funny and touching at the same time. Funny because of her boldness and her Wafi slangs, touching because that little girl really wants to stay in school…
Unlike me. When I was younger, I won’t even tell my parents they have chased us from school for fees…if dem give me letter, I won’t even give them…why? In case they have money and may actually decide to pay…what’s the fun in that? .
It’s more fun to stay at home and play, while our parents gathered our school fees money…🤣🤣🤣 I was never like the little girl in the video….I preferred to be sent home, seeing as I hated cane with passion…and the school can flog!
Na that flogging own dey pain me die. Why will u flog me Sir? Am I the one sponsoring myself? Am I the one owing u? Sir, didn’t u see my daddy? He is the debtor, not me. I’m innocent. I’m a child. The worst u can and should do is refuse me entrance into the school, let me stay home with them and they will be gingered to pay. .
What of the parents? When u go home in tears and tell of the beatings we received, they never saw it as wrong…I guess they just accepted it as part of life. No, it was all shades of wrong. Let me see any school try it with my kids…(my children skool dey write letter…dem dey write taya…some parents na Ninja!)
.
They believe that punishing the child will encourage the school to pay…so the child is the scapegoat…thankfully, times are changing. I will never forget the day a parent came to our school in Jos with cane to flog the teacher that flogged his son…school scatter that day🤣🤣🤣🤣
.
My Father is special. We might stay home for a week, waiting for school fees money, while in church someone might approach him and he will give them money to pay school fees🤣🤣
He often forgets…his over kindness nearly killed us. .
School fees drive used to be holiday for me…except when it’s flogging time. Abeg, how was school fees drive in ya school and how far with ur kids now?
