A Nigerian mother has taken to social media to express her outrage at a Lagos-based school for sending her daughter home due to late arrival.
In the now-viral video, the woman, whose daughter was identified as Favour, claimed that her daughter was sent home from school because she arrived late.
She further alleged that when she contacted the principal to protest against the school’s decision, she was met with insults and disrespect, stating that the action would have put her daughter in danger.
According to the mother, she had no choice but to visit the school in person, also got kicked out as well.
She said, “Good morning, guys so I met the principal, they just kicked me out of the school building, and now they are saying I can’t make a video.
“Favour came to school by 8:30 today, and they threw her out of school. They don’t know if I’m at home or not. Not for any reason because she came late; if I were the one who drove favour to school, by 8:30, I’m definitely sure they would not throw her out of school.
“If she came with the school bus, sometimes the bus gets to school by 10; they will definitely not throw her out of the school.
“I called the principal on the phone immediately after Favour got home because I was shocked because I was about to leave the house, and this man started insulting me on the phone and cutting the phone off.
“I have to come physically, and he is doing the same thing.”

That’s not fair: why didn’t they allow her mother in?
The school should have punished her instead of kicking her out of school.
What if something had happened to the girl? You can see the kind of system we have in Nigeria.
Considering the level of insecurity in the country, the school authority ought to inform her parent or let her stay and call her parents later in the day on how they don’t tolerate lateness
Which kind of school is that one sef
You send a child home without her parent being informed,what if something had happened to her what would they be saying
The school should have informed the parents when sending her back home
I saw this video on Instagram this morning, omo this school no try o
Everybody is blaming the school. Do you know what the school rules and regulations is? Which must be State in the school prospectus.
They should have sent a warning to her parent or probably punished her
Sending her home is very risky in this situation
I understand there are laid down rules and regulations, but the mother shouldn’t be insulted as said, no one will really take that
To be honest, sending her back home was a very wrong thing to do .
This is very wrong school should be modest enough with tame the girls character by making her coming early to school everyday in a first place
And secondly the principal shouldn’t have shouted on you and bouncing the call that’s very rude of him
Coming late to school is wrong but sending her back home without informing her parents is a very bad decision considering the security situation of the country
I hope the school has rules and regulations and they should be punishment for late coming… sending her back to home is not the right thing to do
What kind of school is this that behave like people that is unwise how can you send a child out without the parent concept..
Well,it depends on the manner of approach of the woman
Or maybe her daughter is a chained late goer
