When you think about this world, you can't help but cry sometimes. It's a crazy world we live in and people just don't care. Most people just do whatever they like because it looks good to them. There is no sense you can make out of this madness that most people display. Most people want to exercise their power, frustrate others and make them know that they can get away with things and that's the kind of example being modelled by our so-called leaders which some rich and influential people in the country has now adopted.
Nothing makes that much sense no matter how we want to twist it. How do you explain children hurting a fellow child? Who taught them how to be evil? Who explained the ways of wickedness to them? How did we get to this point? How did the world adopt hatred, bitterness and anger as a way of communicating over love, care, tolerance and understanding that should be borne out of respect for one another?
We live in a country that has zero regards for human lives and most of the citizens have adopted this pattern and now the government won't even do anything about it because, let's face it, it's their trademark after all. If evil is perpetrated by the wealthy, they turn a blind eye but when it is done by those with no means and substance, they want to uphold the law. They would say they want to make a lesson out of it for others and yet they keep turning blind eyes to what their mates are doing.
There are many things we always sweep under the rug in this country. Even the politicians know and they know that over time, everyone would forget and nobody would be held accountable for anything. Where is the standard? Where is democracy? Where is the rule of law? Where is equality? Where is humanity? Where is the love? What can be expected of a country whose president left his seat to travel abroad to settle disputes when his citizens are getting killed... touché.
Nothing should surprise me again but still, I always get surprised with how things are done in this country. Imagine a mother, feeling completely safe and confident in sending her 12-year-old son to a boarding school and yet she was failed by the system who killed her son! He lost his life in a place that should have protected him...a 12-year-old for God's sake!
I gathered that this 12-year-old was bullied by 3 seniors who wanted him in their cult group. Imagine, a secondary school with a cult group? What has this world turned into??? The young boy refused the request from these older seniors and they had to bully him, give him a deadly substance to drink and the boy died.
The school isn't even taking responsibility because it's obvious that the parents of these killers must have a stake in that school and I believe the school was the one who hinted the parents because as at the time the news got to the media, the three children had been flown outside the country as a way of averting justice.
That school have failed and should be stopped from operating. I heard they are sticking with online classes now and as much as I know the children education are at stake, that school should be closed down permanently, never to operate again. Yes, they have been closed down now but we are in Nigeria after months now things would quieten and business would resume as usual.
The housemaster of that boy should be arrested as well. You are being paid to do your job and you completely failed at that. He couldn't notice the changes and things about the boy? Teachers are meant to be extra sensitive and that's why they are one of the most respected in the profession. This is what you get when you employ people by connection rather than those who actually deserve to get the job.
I am also hurt for the parents because it shows a bit of disconnect between their child and them. I won't blame them because they are hurting at this time for losing a child they have watched grow for 12 years but a child should be able to reach out to the parents and tell them what is going on. This is why parents need to build relationships with their ward. It's not just about sending them to the best of schools or making enough money to take care of them but it is about hearing their concerns, listening to their worries and fear while also fanning their desires into flame. I feel hurt because the death of this young 12 year old could have been avoided if all the parties involved do their part.
I really hope these children are caught and as young as they are, they should be dealt with by the law because if they scale through this without being punished, this is how they would grow to be dead to their conscience and do even more of these terrible acts.
I hope the country won't sleep on this and I hope the parents drag this with the law so that justice can be served. No one should lose a child that way, not when he should have been in a safe place like school. It's shameful and it hurts. I pray God gives the parents the strength to soldier on...it's not an easy experience and they are scathed for life with this...

Well written and extremely dead on with the summation of what is going on today, unfortunately. The parents were trusting that these people were doing right and taking care of their children. But no one saw this coming, and probably should have, had they known about it. There are a lot of kids who go off and do things in secret, away from "the eyes of the admins." And yes, there are many administrations that couldn't care less about the students because they can go home and sleep at night. This post was obtained through Dreemport.
