Y’all calling out that man for scolding and flogging his son who missed English and Maths exams after he paid 21K USD as school fees are clueless I swear. The photo below is a scar I got from the wood beating my mother gave me the day I refused to go to school because I hadn’t paid my fees. (SS1 I guess). In her words: “You want to miss school even before they send you home? It’s better to go learn a little before you’re chased out than miss it completely” then gbam, kpor Kapur was what I heard, blood everywhere…
She applied rub on it, said sorry, kissed my forehead and ordered me straight to school
… Luckily “CIC” did not send students home that day. Now imagine if I missed an exam after paying the fees na die …”
