    What are your thoughts on teachers having discussions with children about politics?

    Such a teacher should be made to face serious consequences for his or her actions. It's just like the same thing with having a teacher suggest to kids that they might be trapped in the wrong body just to influence their decision and thinking towards the sex they were born with, such a teacher...

    Should junk food be banned for children?

    Junk food is generally not good for anyone and not just kids alone. I'm in support of banning it completely and not just for kids consumption. It's part of the reason why we have so many people suffering from obesity today.

    What age do you feel is acceptable for a child to have a mobile phone?

    This is something I believe would be subjective to each parent and it's also going to be influenced by how the kid behaves. Personally for me, I don't buy the idea of giving kids smartphone when they are too young. I never had a smartphone till I entered the university but I won't say the same...

    The idea of lowering the voting age to 12 years old.

    One of the worst electoral malpractices in my country is allowing of underaged kids to vote during election and the electoral body INEC will not disqualify them just so to help the party in power to win the election. Kids as young as 10 years and below are seen voting in each election carried...

    Should SATS be scrapped?

    Unfortunately, we don't have anything like SATS exams for kids here. If we did and they are inconsistent, I'm very sure that most people or parents would call for it be scrapped since it's not living up to the expectations.

    Should there be a limit on when a child receives pocket money?

    If my child is responsible, there's nothing that's going to stop me from giving him or her pocket money as long as he or she is still living under my roof. Once the money is there for me to give, my child deserve it.

    Do you believe there should be a limit to how much television children should watch?

    It's not only kids that should be limited to how long they should watch TV, adults too need to cut down on how long they do the same thing. Too much screen time isn't good for the eyes. It doesn't matter if you're an adult or a kid, your eyes will suffer for it.

    Should firework sales to the public be banned?

    Banning fireworks sales is going to take a lot of people out of business and that's going to be a problem in my opinion. I understand that its usage may cause accidents and injuries but that's not enough to have it banned. What I thing should be done is have a law made to hold anyone who uses it...

    Should all schoolchildren get free school meals?

    The way it's done here in my country is if you want your kids meal to be provided for by the school, you're definitely going to pay for it in his or her tuition fees. No one gives you anything for free in my country. It's why I get so impressed by the laws in developed countries like UK and the...

    Do you think detentions work to help punish children?

    There's nothing like detentions down here in my school when I was a kid. It's not something familiar to our country or educational system. You get flogged when you misbehave in school or at home. Most kids here will even abuse the detention because it's going to be too easy for them.

    Should women's sanitary products be free?

    Yes, I think that woman's sanitary products like menstruation pad and the rest should be provided for them free of charge. It's one of those products I think the government should make provision for to be covered. Another thing I think should be treated as such is water. No one should be sold...

    Does money bring happiness?

    I can't imagine my without money. I can't imagine being happy without money. They say money is the root of all evil, well I strongly don't care about it. I rather have money which is the root of all evil then stay in poverty which is the root of all righteousness I suppose? If we are not talking...

    There are certain games which I wouldn't let any of kid who's below 15 years of to play and GTA is one of such games. Take a look at what playing violent games like GTA did to this kid and his parents allowed it. I will blame them 100%. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6IbN_46ezP4

    Are confederates sour losers?

    No one enjoys being on the losing side. What they are doing now is what's excepted of them to do. So, let's just allow then to be sour and lick their wounds. Nothing they say would change history.

    Quad9 vs Sony case

    I have known Sony to be very troublesome. I'm not surprised with what they doing with bullying Quad9. They would have done the same thing to Microsoft after their acquisition of Activision Blizzard. Sony have been doing anything possible to see the deal breakdown.

    Parenthood: Right or Privilege?

    Being a parent isn't something you just rush into. It's not even all about having money to take care of your kids and all the responsibilities that comes with it, although it's very important to have that option ticked but if you're not physically, mentally and emotionally ready to be a parent...

    Capital Punishment

    I don't care when others think, but there are crimes you will commit and I will be in support for the death penalty on you. If you ever rape a minor, you deserve to be killed for it.

    Is the internet and technology good for kids' development?

    Parental guidance is very important when it comes to what you allow your kids access to. But the internet and the use of smartphone have even made it more difficult for parents to control what their kids source on the internet. Imagine, I saw a kid who shouldn't be more than 11 years old...

    Should the voting age be lowered?

    Voting in my country have always been a **** show. The legal voting age is supposed to be 18 years but whenever it's election time, the Northern part of Nigeria will have kids as young as 5 years of out to vote and the electoral body in charge will allow them to vote instead of having them...
