Namtira, Girl Bullied At Lead British School Speaks Up As Minister Storms School To Demand Justice 

Any school in Nigeria that cannot take responsible of the childern under their care should be closed so is this shool

This minister of women affairs is complete vibe! Joy giver! God bless you more madam action!❤

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.

Na this no nonsense woman fit una for this failed school. Let the face of the bullies be publicized. Weldone Madam Uju

The parents of that slapping student must be investigated, I think slapping people anyhow is in their DNA

Ur indeed a mother and an advocate

I can’t stand bullies.Thank you minister for standing up for what is right!

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

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

The fault is in PARENTING oh. Parents wake up and raise your children and stop raising BEASTS in form of children.

For Namtira not to slap back, this goes to show that the parent did their best.

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

Teach your kids to stand up for themselves!!!!

Bullies do not have a cogent reasons to bully. A bully is always a bully. No matter how calm you are, a bully will always look for one to oppress. Infact they like to dominate the quiet ones.

I was crying in pain. I hate bullys with all my heart.

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

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 like this Minister. she had listening hear to all contributors .

Not only Nigerian are angry the world. Every one who saw the video was not happy. Am south African am angry 😢 very angry

British school my foot.Horible bullying has been going on in that school..

Bullie causes trauma of which could be lifelong trauma to the victim.

School needs to start an antibullying education for their students. And introduce punishments for bullying

Did anyone realized that the father was also wiping his own tears while wiping his daughter tears? I felt very emotional.

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

I love this woman My type Outspoken Powerful

CHAI , THIS MINISTER IS VERY WELL GROUNDED. SHE RESPECTS EVERYONE DESPITE HER POSITION................ KUDOS MA..

Did I just heard the head of school saying bullying is limited. Is it supposed to happen at all.? Total rubbish.

I feel like hugging this Minister. It really shows she is an experienced school owner. God bless you.

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

Say No to bully. God bless the Minister of women affairs for intervening.

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.

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.

I love the way this mothers came outside to stand against bullying & also shutting down the school

Please help the poor children in public schools 🙏

School admin immediately starts trying to lie and confuse the story. Typical.

This is one of the performing minister. very real and street smart & not a pretender. Ministers that connect with the masses!

Mrs minister. Why three days?. It should be indefinite until a full and unhindered investigation is concluded.

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

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

Love this 🥰Thank you mah for being transparent. God bless Nigeria 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬

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❤️

That's the way to go our honourable minister.Pls keep up the good work .

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.

Carry on the good work, my honorable Minister of Women Affairs.

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.

I like this Minister. She knows what she is doing. Her points are valid

This Minister no go gree... Nice One.

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

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.

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

I love this minister. She is so down to earth, but where is where is the Ministry of Education?

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.

God bless you honorable minister....

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 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.

I don't care what happened.Madam Minister ma, please take actions, Nigerians are angry.That girl must get justice

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.

This one that the PTA chairman is the one responding for the head of school, it's possible he hasn't been around and left the running of the school to the PTA chairman.

The Principal is not on top of matters

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.

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.

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 really like this minister , one of the best I have ever seen , good job Ma !

Our minister, you're a good mother I like your stand on this issue. That poor girl must get adequate and fair justice.

Tell parents to train their kids well This start from the home Children that are not well trained ,that has no home training will bulling another child

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 agree 100%,justice from the school and the parents, to insure this doesn't happen again.

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

Thank you our Honourable beautiful Minister. Keep up the good work

The men in charge of the school are even looking strange, scary, and like bullies too Abeg Mtcheeewww

Good evening Ma'am 🥰, I really commend you greatly for your swift response to this issue. I love to work in this Ministry of Women Affairs one day💪👏✌️🙌🙏.

I want to know if the students of this school are academically sound please because it seems the Management is not fit.

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

This matter needs to be addressed by the Police and Social Services because it's assault and concerns a minor 😢

Bullying in school has resulted to suicide of so many kids,thus should be taken seriously

The minister is very chaotic!

Such a brilliant woman God bless you ma.u nailed it.

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

Thank you Honorable 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.

Thank you madam honourable minister for your stance on this matter ma.

The more reasons parents should train their children and not base all the responsibilities on the school. Bully is everywhere even in the 80s thanks to social media

The school doesnt have to be shut down because of actions of kids who have been raised by irresponsible parenting.

I love the way they are taking action against this issue of bullying.... during my days in secondary school... omo nobody send anybody oo... I had to learn the hard way and grow a thicker skin both mentally and physically

She is still traumatised. She needs to be well taken care of. Needs to see a therapist ASAP.

The poor girl looks traumatized and depressed. I wish I could hold her now.

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.

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.

Please that child should not be allowed back into the school at all again please 🙏

Thank you Minister for standing up for the voiceless.

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

Well done ma’am you have done well.

Chai. While growing up, these were what most of us went through. Bullying was a norm in my days but it was terrible. So terrible. Thank God today these issues won't go under the carpet

This will serve as a deterrent to other students.

The girl being bullied is very pretty..They Are jealous of her beauty

The PTA chairman defending the school will he say the same thing if his daughter was the one bullied ?

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.

What a disgrace. I was so angry when I saw the video yesterday.

I'm so proud of this minister she's doing an amazing job👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

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
