Some children are out of school in Nigeria because of N80 levy

Maryam Uwais has revealed that some children in Nigeria are out of school because they can’t afford to pay N80 levy.

As stated by recent data by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), Nigeria’s out-of-school-children figure stands at 20 million. The statistics showed that India, Nigeria, and Pakistan have the highest number of out-of-school children globally between ages 6 and 18. Speaking in an interview with Channels Television, the Special Adviser to President Muhammadu Buhari, Maryam said: “We have a population that is growing faster than our economy, and we are not targeting those issues that are increasing the numbers. There are so many differences. We need to determine the reason for these numbers. We need to be more strategic in ways to solve the problem. So it is essential to monitor the situation, to get the causation factor being given as feedback. We are under the National Bureau of Statistics; they can analyse the trends and address the issue. I will give you an example; I was in one State, I won’t tell you the State, but it is a northern state, I saw 13 children playing, and I asked them, ‘Why aren’t you in school? They gave different things, and they all had aspirations as young children. They said they aren’t in school because of N80 as Parent Levy or something like that. Now, if we can use such information coming from all communities or that being the most prevalent issue for out-of-school children, it can be tackled at the state government level because these are hidden levies that impact the ability to go to school.”

Chrisland School granted independent autopsy

An Ikeja District Court granted permission for an autopsy to the management of Chrisland School to access toxicology samples for an independent forensic pathologist to evaluate.

This was in response to an application for an independent review which was served to the state and the family’s counsel, neither of whom filed a counter affidavit opposing the motion. The state counsel requested the attendance of the state pathologist at the expense of the applicant, which was not objected to by the applicant. On Tuesday, Magistrate Olabisi Fajana directed that the independent forensic pathologist’s assessment be carried out within Lagos State, with the pathologist of the deceased’s family granted access as an observer during the exercise. The family and Chrisland School’s counsel were in agreement with this decision. According to the court, items to be handed over for the independent review, include “the paraffin block of the skin sample and slides from which the diagnosis of electrocution was made. Samples of the urine, blood and other body fluid collected at autopsy. “Samples of bone and muscle taken from the deceased for purpose of independent DNA analysis. All photographs taken during the conduct of the autopsy. “Copies of any other working sample and documents made in the course of the autopsy, result of all toxicology tests conducted, the modalities of the transmission of the above listed items ‘a’ to ‘f’ shall be as decided by the Chief Medical Examiner of Lagos State. “The Chief Medical Examiner or an officer as assigned by him shall be present at all times during the transmission of the above listed items “a” to “f’ and the consultation of the Independent Forensic Pathologist of the applicant.”

“Which school is this?” – Reactions trail video of secondary school students flaunting expensive iPhones

Some secondary school students have set social media ablaze after flaunting their expensive apple phones. In the video shared online, the students were seen proudly flaunting their iPhones including an iPhone 13 Pro Max.

Netizens have shared their thoughts with many faulting their parents for giving them such costly phones at a young age. Reacting to the post, @josephinebabs_reattors said: “This is a government school if am not mistaken. I wonder if the parents are aware.”

@prettyynaomi commented: “Anyone that couldn’t afford this in that Class will be in depression by now God please deliver your children, my question still remains who bought them those expensive phones that even some people that are working still can’t afford, does it mean their patents did? Because I remember when I was in secondary school I dare not bring anything my parents didn’t bought for me to the house.” @easygoing_urchkent01 reacted: “Lol…all these phones are used by kids below 10 in Yankee to play kids game let’s stop. seeing it as big deal here in kids.” @talentedvhee stated: “Government school kids using this magnitude of iPhones?? There’s no way those boys using pro and pro max are not into fraudulent activities, some of you will say they have rich uncles and siblings, so the rich Uncles can’t send them to a private or better schools?” @ugwuezeikenna remarked: “There is an epidemic of fraud among the youths in Nigeria currently. This has eaten so deep in the mindset of the youths. They no longer believe on life’s process, they no longer believe in Education. All that is occupying there mind is making money, clubbing, and womanizing. All on the fast lane. The parents really need to seat up in other to raise responsible children. Serious wahala dey but many are so myopic towards this issue.” @iam_kelvinossai said: “Na beg I beg my parents to buy me CASIO calculator when i was this age.” Watch the video below:

Two former classmates resurrect primary school beef that occured 20 years ago

Two former classmates who had once fought in their primary school days over two decades ago have revisited their beef on the cyber space.

It had all began when one Twitter user identified as @unkleayo had taken to the micro blogging platform to call out his classmate, Edun Tomisin for leaving him with a scar on his stomach – a scar which hasn’t vanished after so many years. According to @uncleayo, Edun Tomisin had torn him with a rusty blade by displacing him twice and taking the first position in class. He wrote: “Edun Tomisin, I haven’t forgotten neither have I forgiven you – Damiland Nursery & Primary School, Iju-Ishaga. You stabbed me with a rusty blade because I displaced you twice by coming first on getting a double promotion to join you in Pry III. More than 2 decades later, my stomach still bears testament.”

Interestingly, Edun Tomisin who is also on Twitter responded, baring his own side of the story. According to his classmate, the cut had simply been a mistake. But he had been beaten by the principal for the mistake and added that @unckleayo was always a sly boy who got others in trouble and pretended not to be guilty.

Edun Tomisin wrote: “Oh wow! 😂
You know what you son @UnkleAyo?
A vile, Horrible, Narcissistic dumb f*ck who deserves nothing good in this life or in the life to come. First of all, my sincere apologies for the scar. That’s being said.
Anyone who knows me can attest to the fact that I was a spoilt roughian kid as they call it then. I was clumsy to a fault. This particular accident however was a mistake as I remember. I was sharpening my pencil and someone pushed me and you just happen to be at the wrong place at that moment. I remember explaining to the proprietor, Hon Olu Elijah Adewale (may he soul rest in peace), how it was an accident and he still went on to beat the hell out of me. No grudges. I wouldn’t trust anything I said at that point in my life. What you failed to tell your thousands of followers who obviously are your source of happiness and achievements, is that you were worse than I was back then and a terrible human being. You derived pleasure in putting your classmates in trouble and because you were the smallest in class, you found a way to manipulate the teachers and anyone who cared to listen. You didn’t mention to your followers @UnkleAyo how you poured my food away on saveral occasions and called it an accident and everyone believed you. Neither did you tell your followers how you also stabbed me with compass, and in your usual way or manipulating, you got just a spank on the wrist. Did you tell them I was the one that reached out to you first? And that you refused to reply my messages?” Oh wow! 😂
You know what you son @UnkleAyo?
A vile, Horrible, Narcissistic dumb fuck who deserves nothing good in this life or in the life to come. First of all, my sincere apologies for the scar. https://t.co/dLKzIpguH1 pic.twitter.com/ZC37IK2dCF — Tomisin (@Official_Tomii) March 28, 2023
