Teachers being flogged during a staff verification exercise at the Jerome Udoji State Secretariat Complex in Awka. This is a disturbing reflection of how degrading our society can become. Imagine holding a cane and publicly flogging civil servants, not behind closed doors, but in full view of everyone. What exactly are we trying to achieve with such humiliation? Imagine being a son or daughter and watching someone flog your mother or father like a child. Or watching your partner being subjected to such treatment. There should be better and more dignified ways to enforce discipline and conduct verification exercises. Civil servants are human beings deserving of basic dignity and respect. Honestly, even animals should not be treated with such needless cruelty. Simon Ekpa | Ayo Animashaun | Roma | Men Dey | Ceec

This is Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba Akoko. Students came out to peacefully protest, and the state governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, responded with gunshots against students. Yesterday, the governor met with Army chiefs. Today, soldiers arrived on our campus and opened fire on unarmed students. Let that sink in. This is a university that has seen its fair share of student protests over the years. With fee hikes, strikes, and insecurity in the host community, we have marched for all of it. And in all those years, even during the most chaotic of them, including 2009, when angry students burnt down a police station in Akungba, live bullets were never the answer. Soldiers, when they showed up, moved barricades and drove past. That was the unspoken rule. You do not turn guns on students. That rule was broken today. What changed? A governor who sat with army chiefs less than twenty four hours before soldiers showed up shooting at the same students he is meant to serve and protect. Students who have blocked roads before without a single bullet fired now have live rounds aimed at them, on the governor's order. Watch the video. This is not a rumor. This is not exaggeration. This is a Nigerian soldier firing on Nigerian students on the grounds of Adekunle Ajasin University, for daring to protest. #AAUA #AkungbaAkoko #EndStudentBrutality #OndoState ShopRite | Odumeje | Abati | Uber | Erigga
