7 tips for parents with children in boarding house

December 22, 2020 2 Comments

Good day everyone! So the video of the young man who was abused and starved in boarding house has been trending and I do hope that his parents do all they can to help him recover from the trauma. Truth be told I am not a fan of boarding house, but I am not totally against it either…this is because sometimes parents don’t have other options and a good boarding facility is not without its benefits. I would rather a child is in a good boarding house than totally unsupervised at home. However, I would rather children stay home till […]

Guest Post: “I was once a girl child ” by Enene Ejembi

I was once a girl child. A nurtured, loved, protected, girl child. I wish that were the norm. I remember my teacher in primary school taking a little bit too much of a liking — an inappropriate liking, to me. I remember the day he told me I had gotten several answers wrong in our end of term examinations and wouldn’t ‘come 1st’. He said because he loved me, he wanted me to ‘come 1st’. He gave me a list of the right answers and told me to erase my wrong ones, insert the right ones and I’d be ahead. […]

Lessons from a Plantain/ Banana Tree

Before the plant dies you will notice that suckers which are baby plants, begin to grow from around the base of the parent plant. So although the parent tree dies , it is replaced by baby banana plants almost immediately. I planted just a single plant 2 years ago and […]
