orirebaby: Am not sure this private school owners know wat they are saying. They know ooo. And the decision of the government (although not wrong) was not well thought of. This may even affect me myself, because I stood as a guarantor for a proprietor to borrow money and I did not give it any thought when I had the news on the postponement of resumption. That means the guy is paying extra interest or I will be in trouble. Kai its every business that is risky ooo. The bottom line is that its all about the money, if parent can still pay fees between 1st week and 3rd week of September, proprietors won't mind even if the students resume in December. 3 Likes |

These private school owners are just being unrealistic. How many children under 5 actually go to the market and interact at such close proximity such as obtains in schools. Even in religious gatherings, people monitor who their children interact per time. These people should not put financial gratification above public health. How many toddlers would readily use hand sanitizers? They will only see it as play things and they pose more dangers to themselves if this is randomly provided in schools without proper monitoring. Pls let them see it as sacrifices to be made in the wake of this Ebola scourge 2 Likes |

People's greed n love for money in this country will eventually make this Deadly virus touch down every state in this nation if care is not taken. Fed Govt extending Primary n Secondary school resumption is a good tactics to reduce the spread of the virus cause it will be the fastest way for it spreading among children.

GEJ should grow some balls. Any school that opens should be closed. I wonder whats wrong with these so called private school owners. They think they are above everyone? Yes, there is no law currently that stops them from operating but there is a law of commonsense and closing the schools is for the good everyone. Where is their Patriotism? |

I hope WAEC, UTME and other exams will also be postponed next year because even without this delay, the students have a little time to prepare well and get enough tutoring especially when we know this generation of students are over-lazy. It is this same set of people that will condemn the poor performances of the children/students in the exams, some will even relate it with poor teaching. SMH for Nigerian education. Good help us o... |

I don't know why people keep talking like this if shul closes for 1 month even if its 2 months First term is first term n first term shul fees would surely be paid. Summer lesson at my shul cost 10k dey didnt let me use my money finish dey closed shul, dia is God oh We don't pay shul fees monthly so its us d students dat are losing n parent also cos we won't get d best out of our money. dey complained dat waec was bad dat we don't study hard again , we didn't say anything Dey said we should study hard dey preached as if we killed somebody, we didn't say anything, Now dey have closed shuls , where should we now read, we won't say anything waec next year would talk for us. |

olaeffect:What's not well thought of in this decision by the FG? You and the schools owners are more concerned about the loss of revenue this will generate than the health and well being of the students/pupils. I hate to call them greedy but that's what they are, these are people who should be cooperating with the govt to contain the epidemic but are more interested in money. 1 Like |

I knew it will get to this. I recommend that mothers should also be given 1month 'Ebola Leave' with pay so that they can take care of their children now that schools are not in session. Else, all mothers should take their children to offices (including market women) |

Please you guys should look beyond the revenue part and look at how this move will affect the academic lives of these children who we claim are the future leaders. |

Children spit, bite, scratch, share stuffs, and injure themselves while playing does sanitisers cover all these? I think they have the capability of propagating the disease faster not just to the children in school but also to the ones at home and even to their parents. As adults we are cautious observant and intuitively but children are inquisitive. Its bad enough that our girls have not been returned let not put the lives of these children in jeopardy. 2 Likes |
Re: Ebola: School Owners, FG On Collision Course by tng(f): 9:31am On Aug 30, 2014 |
People keep screaming money, parents would still pay fees in Oct on resumption so where is the revenue loss? Teachers would still be paid because they have a contract with the school. All in all, it's the children that would still lose because most likely they won't finish their syllabus for the term because of the time or it would be rushed. Seriously this directive wasn't well thought out before it was issued. 2 Likes |

I disagree with the proprietors. They're shylock. GOVT have the right to open and close any institutions ..It's only in Nigeria that people count GOVT directive's. How are the so called proprietor able to contain EPIC(APOLLO)&others like chicken pox before now ?When school curriculum were being drawn the period for holiday is explicitly stated but now the proprietors have turned the period of resting brain to money making venture . 1 Like |

For one the populace should put public safety first before economic gains. THe situation in liberia is grave and all schools are shut, are the proprietors waiting to see this fatal scourge go out of hand before they regain their sense of hiumanity. Adults can handle their hygiene pretty well, but children just cant. Markets and churches are places we visit and leave once or twice in a week within short periods of 1to 2 hours, but schools open from 8 to 4 pm in five days of the week. An infected child in a public school could infect as much as 20 children in a day. 2 Likes |

Please you guys should look beyond the revenue part and look at how this move will affect the academic lives of these children who we claim are the future leaders.Just one month extension will affect the academic lives of every Nigerian student? The end of first term can still be extended and all the schools will still meet up. The second term can also be elongated. This is not any major problem. The only people complaining are private school proprietors that won't be getting schools early. This doesn't affect teachers or pupils. 1 Like |
Re: Ebola: School Owners, FG On Collision Course by MazadoGoodman: 9:50am On Aug 30, 2014 |
...and one of them even said that the parents do not know what to do with their OWN children because of the extended break. Now, see how the responsibilty of child upbringing has been abdicated. How can parents not know what to do with their children? It simply means that the parents are strangers to their kids or the kids are unwanted at home. However, no sane person will be happy about the whole development, i.e. ebola, holiday extention etc etc. But "me think" we should be hopeful that before the 13th, we would've successfully contained and resolved the situtation.

The second term can also be elongated. This is not any major problem.First and foremost, one month might not affect the academic lives of EVERY Nigerian student but will surely affect MANY/MOST because even a single class at times matters a lot. Then secondly, this won't be a problem if the school calendar adjusted and elongated like you said the same thing with WAEC and UTME albeit I strongly doubt it'll happen. |
