The school sent her home cos her parents haven't paid her school fees, lil girl said she prefers to stay back at school and get flogged instead of being sent home daily for non-payment.

The whole system doesn't give one any hope. The state schools are underfunded or not funded at all thanks to corruption, low income families have no choice than to send their kids to sub standard mushroom private school that they can't afford.
Her state Governor @GovIfeanyiOkowa
Maybe the Governor should spend more time making sure the lil children in his state don't have to make sad choices between being sent home from school or brutalized at school.
People on instablog9ja think it's funny...How is this funny?
While its gr8 that people want to look 4her & help her pay her school fees, Bless ur hearts 🙌🏿 I dnt believe we 🇳🇬can continue with this gofundme healthcare, gofundme education. Its wonderful 2help her & u shld but it must include a demand for elected officials 2do dir paid jobs.
Oil producing state.... Under funds Education. What can go wrong?
Stop letting the position on WAEC results table fool you that your state is working.
Someone has been able to get in contact with the lil girl.

@GovIfeanyiOkowa How many more kids in the school are having to decide whether to get beaten or get sent home?

Disclaimer: PLEASE CONFIRM BEFORE SENDING ANYTHING.
Shout out to Mr Jollof.
He's found the lil girl and doing lots more 🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿

The 🇳🇬 Jordan Peterson strikes again. “Marriage is abt sacrifice and endurance, this generation call it Abuse”
Errr cos its Abuse, marriage is abt love and companionship. No one (mostly women) should endure your crappy behaviour like your enduring mums did in the name of MARRIED
This guy is a cuddle for the feelings of young & Middle aged naija men.
“Most men want to marry someone like their mother”

Hell No! Who are these weirdos? If you want to marry someone like your mum you have some growing up to do or maybe that’s why no one wants you.
Yes, your mum like everyone’s mum is a wonderful amazing loving person but unless you’re exactly your dad, its ridiculous to look for someone “enduring” like ur mum.
Telling the other person to endure means you dnt ve to change or step up. I dont even know what “sacrifice” means

Someone sent me a video of 🇳🇬 Singer Onyeka Onwenu calling for the freedom if 15yr old girl LEAH SHARIBU kidnapped by Boko Haram.

I agree with the overall message of the video #FreeLeah & hopefully fast but I really want to talk abt d characters around the message in d video
1stly the 🇳🇬 govt handling of the whole situation has been absolutely terrible to say the least. 🇳🇬 is in election campaign mode which will double the govt's mishandling of Leah's situation. Foreign Christian organisations have jumped on the story
Character 1: Onyeka Onwenu
It's important to remember that when the Chibok girls were kidnapped, some of them christians Onyeka Onwenu was on tv defending the incompetent govt saying "No govt is perfect" even questioned details of the kidnap & who was kidnapped.
No teary video

Back in Superior Court for day 2 of the Bruce McArthur sentencing hearing. The courtroom is about half full today. Justice John McMahon has just entered the courtroom. More victim impact statements to be heard before the crown and defence make sentencing submissions
The serial killer has just walked in. Hunched over as usual wearing black jeans and the same plaid shirt & black cable knit sweater as yesterday. Crown telling McMahon, a sketch artist is requesting to sit in front of the bar so she can get a better view of Bruce McArthur
Justice McMahon takes no issues with it. The sketch artist who made the request is Pam Davies who sketches for @globalnewsto. All the sketch artists are now sitting in the jury box so today we will have drawings of McArthur’s face & his expressions, rather than his profile

Honest payers are charged more in SA when others do not pay. The Payment crisis could lead to a revolt from thew honest and working citizens at least on a municipal level. A short exsplain follows below. 1/10
SA municipalities are under pressure from a payment crisis. Even after accounting for Government transfers for free water and lights the total debt that has been outstanding for over 90 days was R123,4 billion for SA municipalities as at September 2018! 2/10
In the last three years R52 billion was impaired. The impairment costs meant that services charges had to be at least 8% higher. Also means older assets are left to be impaired (not printed seperately) - think electricity outages at municipal level. 3/10

THREAD: we’ve received questions from reporters and others related to the generic drug review program at #FDA; and what review activities will continue during the shutdown. I want to provide some information related to these inquiries:
During the lapse period, FDA will not accept generic drug submissions that require payment of a fee (e.g., Abbreviated New Drug Applications (ANDAs))
FDA will accept generic submissions for which no fee is required, if product is within the scope of the GDUFA program. These submissions include, for example: CBE supplements and prior approval supplements to approved ANDAs, Amendments, Annual reports, Applications for PET drugs

*** HOME ALONE 2 LIVE-TWEET: THE RULES***

This lecture explores the Christmas classic 'Home Alone 2' through the lens of English and Welsh law.

Contributions and observations are welcome, but I'm perfectly prepared to tweet the entire film to a wall of embarrassed silence.
This paper considers, inter alia, how the adventures of Kevin McAllister might have been different had he, his family and his adversaries been subject to the jurisdiction of the law of England and Wales.
Some basic rules so we’re all singing from the same (John Williams) song sherry:

As I am not an American lawyer, nor diligent enough to do the research, we assume that all activity takes place in the jurisdiction of England and Wales.

Instead of Black Friday shopping, how about helping this teacher in a low-income SF school that just got its budget cut by $170K and lost its learning specialist get some basic classroom supplies? She asking for pencils and gluesticks ffs: donorschoose.org/project/our-sc…
You can also pick another school to give to, sort by region, grade, type of request...lot of low-income schools in cold areas just trying to get their kids coats. @DonorsChoose donorschoose.org
You guys, we're about half way there. If you can spare even $10, that buys a lot of pencils. donorschoose.org/project/our-sc…

no one leaves home unless home chases you
fire under feet
hot blood in your belly
it’s not something you ever thought of doing
until the blade burnt threats into
your neck
and even then you carried the anthem under
your breath

#home #warsanshire #poems
#WhereAreTheChildren
only tearing up your passport in an airport toilets
sobbing as each mouthful of paper
made it clear that you wouldn’t be going back.

you have to understand,
that no one puts their children in a boat
unless the water is safer than the land
no one burns their palms
under trains
beneath carriages
no one spends days and nights in the stomach of a truck
feeding on newspaper unless the miles travelled
means something more than journey.
no one crawls under fences
no one wants to be beaten
pitied
