ReplyDeleteWell done Stella for the news round up. My new morning fave. 👍🏾
DeleteAs far as the heaven stands, stand above the Earth💐...be thou exalted...unlimited God! Kabiyesi Oba ologo!
DeleteThe first news though, the school should have promoted him to the next class giving his age .He should have been done from secondary school by 16 and he 's still in SS 1 at 17.
ReplyDeleteIt is not how far but how well. Such kids need to be mentally and emotionally prepared for such situations. They also need plenty of extra help and coaching suited to their individual needs. Also parents, family and guardians should try to help and encourage such kids and not shame them and compare them to others. You see parents shouting at their kids and disgracing them publicly. Though I can't really say what happened to this boy, it is a sad situation. May he rest peacefully.

The 17 year old boy must have failed repeatedly for him to have succumbed to suicide.
