Popular Nigerian comedian Bovi has reacted to the news of the student bullied by her peers in Lead British School.
Taking to his Instagram page, in a lengthy post he shared that the victim’s aunt shouldn’t have slapped the bully when she saw her.
Recall that the Minister for Women Affairs alongside other individuals has reported to the school to have a meeting with the concerned parties.
Bovi’s post read;
“It gives me great joy to know that we still have well raised children in Nigeria. Children who are soft meek and civil. Children who under the deadliest of provocation still keep their calm. Though the girl in question may have been afraid, she didn’t coil, she didn’t whimper. She didn’t beg. I admire her.
However it is left for the authorities to magnify this abuse and deal with it decisively. It should serve as a warning to orders.
Also of importance is the need for the bullied girl to go through some counseling so that every impending trauma is squashed before it develops. As id always say, we can only give what we were given. This is how monsters are created. No child was born violent.
Lastly, I saw the video of the relative who slapped the bully. She acted in fury, but by the definition of law, she acted in retaliation. While I understand the outrage and her anger, let’s not forget that these are the issues. Slapping somebody across the face is a no no. Nothing civil about it. We must start to preach this across board and we must emphasize the criminality of jungle justice.”
