In other news, a three-year-old girl was reportedly brutalized by her teacher in a Lagos school because she couldn’t recite the English alphabet.

A Twitter user named @WakaWakaTailor, who claimed the young girl is his niece, said when the girl’s mother confronted the teacher, she admitted to giving the little girl 24 strokes of cane.

He also stated that after the incident was reported to the proprietor he accused the girl’s mum of trying to bring down his school.

“This is my 2 year old niece that was flogged mercilessly bcos she couldn’t recite the English alphabets. When my sister, the mother confronted the teacher, she boasted that it wasn’t only the girl that was flogged but others were also flogged 24 strokes each (children of below 3 years o). And that she will flog them that this one is just testing.

My sister also told me that one of her child came back the other day bleeding from the nose. When she asked her, the girl said she was flogged on the head, she confronted the school and they denied it. this one they can’t deny cos the marks of the flogging is there. The owner of the school, according to my sister accused her of wanting to bring down her school when she reported to her.” He tweeted.

A father was thrown out of a school board meeting earlier this week after refusing to wear a mask.

On Tuesday night, February 8, the man identified as Dave Calus was sitting in a chair watching a presentation at a board of education meeting in Webster, New York, when a security guard approached him and asked him to put on a mask.

Calus said he told the guard “Thank you,” but refused to cover up. The officer persisted, saying “No, you need to put your mask on right now.”

The security guard then dragged Calus’ chair towards the back of the room. A video posted to the Facebook page ROC for Educational Freedom Public Page shows when Calus turned around to confront the security guard, the guard pushed him out of a back door.

Explaining what transpired, the father of two, on Kimberly’s Revolution podcast, said,

“I went into the building without a mask on. I signed in and they said ‘you need to wear a mask.’ I said ‘thank you. I signed in, they handed me a mask – I did not put the mask on – and I put it in my pocket.”

“They were segregating masked and unmasked parents,” he explained. “The unmasked parents were going to have to sit in a classroom with a video monitoring watching and listening to the board meeting.”

He said he was sitting for about 15 or 20 minutes before the guard approached him. He was not surprised that the guard confronted him, as he had heard him approach other mask-less parents and ask them to cover their faces.

A video of a man in military uniform flogging a civilian who was presumed to be a bestie to the girlfriend of the military man has gone viral on social media.

The civilian who was severely beaten by the military man was seen on his knees begging, but his pleas did little to pacify the soldier because the beating continued.

The soldier was also heard asking his girlfriend if it was her bestie that stopped her from picking his calls.

The soldier went on to hold “mr.bestie” on his neck and attempted to raise and hit him on the ground, before lifting a bucket filled with water and pouring it on him.

Witnesses at the scene tried to intervene but the soldier could not contain his anger.
