Nigerian actress and filmmaker, Mary Remmy Njoku has objected to her colleague, Uche Ebere’s stance that a 12-year-old has no business attending a boarding school.
Uche had stated this in reaction to the death of 12-year-old student of Dowen College, Sylvester Oromoni, who died after he was reportedly bullied by his seniors.
According to her, the only justifiable reason for a child to attend a boarding school is if his/her parents are divorced, the mother is dead or there is no one to take care of him/her.

Mary Remmy Njoku, a mother of three, has however disagreed with her stance, stating that no one has the manual on how to raise a child.
She added that some children who were homeschooled still ended up as rapists and robber.
She wrote;
“As a mother, I disagree with you. No one has the manual on how to raise a child.
Different families, different circumstances, different income, different children.
I mustn’t raise mine like yours.
Las las there are still rapists and robbers that were homeschooled.”

Exactly my point, how would you even bond with your growing child when he is away mostly in a boarding schools. I think parents should prioritize their kids over money
