Geraldine (@AdaGOkoli): This just made me so sad! Young children who should be safe and free to to live and learn are now living in fear. 😭😭😭😭
Do Justice (@obilornzeh): Tinubu has shamelessly Afonjanized Yoruba land that kids even know that he has failed hence their to resort to self defense. Regrettably; some Yorubas will still vote for this failure. Reject APC/Tinubu and vote Obi/RMK.
Mo (@Mo23042596): Acid… u guys are sleeping on acid…carry acid in toy gun
RedOfTheNorth (@RedOfWint…): Those of us that grew up knowing what peace and actual security felt like owe this younger generation an apology. Children now go to school with cutlasses instead of books because we allowed Nigeria decay into survival mode while we were busy ranting and doing tribal banter.
Erhiga Ejerome (@ErhigaEjerome): Chaiii house no safe school no safe, church no safe everywhere busrt finish everybody protect yourself oo…
Jsmart Tv (@Jsmarttv_App): It’s time to start sending our pastors and imams to the bush to flight for us
ABLE GOD ✝️✝️✝️ (@Yungzma…): Is time to secure yourself if not you will die like chicken, the fucken government nor send you message at all
Adenugba Omolola (@lurlarlis…): No nation deserves this mode of study in their education sector at all ! They are replicating what they did in Lagos and now at the national level on a large scale ⚖️. APC is a disaster and a disgrace! Presently, no state governed by APC is as good as Ábia state. #APCMustGo
Libra King 👑 (@_iamkkhay): None of this is funny at all. When are we going to wake up?

Joe (@Joeyvoluton): Just look at these kids at this age going to school and at the same time trying to defend themselves,naaa this is madness,many of us growing up did not go through this but these older generations is messing these kids up.we are in deep mess
Abiola Oshodi (@omoopee_): Children are now going to school with cutlasses because they no longer trust the government to protect them. That alone says everything about the level of failure in this country. Kids should be carrying books and dreams to school, not weapons out of fear. Vote wisely 2027 please.
kachi ferdinand (@kachi_ferdin…): Even children have realized that the Nigeria government has failed them.
Eddywonder (@eddeewonder): Is good to be security conscious but pls when is time to run don’t hold back cause those modafukers are holding sophisticated weapons sponsored by those on top, you won’t have the chance to be close enough to strike with your machete wisdom is profitable.. Nigeria will be OK
