Nigeria as a country has to make laws to stop all forms of corporal punishment in our schools and even our home. It is primitive to always use force and intimidation to convey our displeasures. This violence should be nipped in the bud as soon as possible, to curtail our penchant to the use of force in the larger society.

Evidence of this abnormally can be seen in all faucets of our society with violence to children and women increasing over the years. It is therefore time to pass a law that will make it a misdemeanor or felony, depending on the degree of physical damage inflicted on a person. It is even worse to hear that students use Cain on fellow students.

Use of force and intimidation to gain control is what brooding ground to higher forms of treachery and violence, as can be witnessed in our Political system as well as other institutions that are supposed to teach leadership.



Well said Nwanzi. When I was in boarding school, I knew a couple of junior girls who gave it as good as they got it including me. I took a lot of crap from seniors at first, but when I realized that most times there was no logical reason for the truancy of seniors (it appeared they were just punishment happy and handed out punishments on a whim), I started standing up for myself. Realized that if a senior told me to kneel down and I refused long enough they would give up. If they had escalated the situation past this point, I would have probabley got my revenge my sticking scorpions in their bed or something.
Let's stop the oppression before those little, cane wielding brats become big, corrupt, embezzling dictators and politicians!
