Stand-up comedian Bovi Ugboma has weighed in on the viral video of a female student of Lead British school who bullied her fellow classmate, Namtira Bwala.

Bovi expressed delight there are well-raised children who are soft, meek, and civil.

Bovi lauded Namtira for being calm, even though she could have been afraid but didn’t whimper and beg.

He wrote: “It gives me great joy to know that we still have well-raised children in Nigeria. Children who are soft meek and civil. Children who are under the deadliest provocation still keep their calm. Though the girl in question may have been afraid, she didn’t coil, she didn’t whimper. She didn’t beg. I admire her.

“However, it is left for the authorities to magnify this abuse and deal with it decisively. It should serve as a warning to orders.

“Also of importance is the need for the bullied girl to go through some counseling so that every impending trauma is squashed before it develops. As I’d always say, we can only give what we were given. This is how monsters are created. No child was born violent.

“Lastly, I saw the video of the relative who slapped the bully. She acted in fury, but by the definition of law, she acted in retaliation. While I understand the outrage and her anger, let’s not forget that these are the issues. Slapping somebody across the face is a no. Nothing civil about it. We must start to preach this across board and we must emphasize the criminality of jungle justice”.

LASEPA shuts Lagos nightclub, hotel over noise pollution

The Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency (LASEPA) has sealed a nightclub and a hotel in separate enforcement operations over persistent noise pollution and repeated violations of environmental regulations.   The affected facilities are Westgate Arena Club in Olowora and Dave Premium and Suites in Alapere, Ketu. Both premises were shut on Monday after repeatedly failing to comply with environmental directives and abatement notices. According to a statement published on LASEPA’s X account on Tuesday, the enforcement was carried out on the directive of the Lagos State Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, as part of the state government’s drive to enforce environmental laws and protect public health. LASEPA said Westgate Arena Club, located on Apostolic Church Close in Olowora, was sealed for persistent noise pollution and non-compliance with regulatory directives. Dave Premium and Suites, situated on Alhaji Irorun Street, off Kazeem Street in Alapere, Ketu, was also shut over similar environmental violations. The agency said the enforcement followed repeated environmental infractions, particularly noise pollution, and the establishments’ failure to comply with abatement notices and other regulatory requirements aimed at safeguarding residents and the environment. Speaking on the operation, LASEPA General Manager Babatunde Ajayi said the agency remained committed to promoting a cleaner, safer and more sustainable environment across Lagos. “Environmental compliance is a collective responsibility. Individuals and corporate organisations must adhere strictly to environmental laws and regulations,” Ajayi said. He added that the agency would continue to intensify enforcement against violators to curb environmental nuisances and protect residents from the harmful effects of pollution. Ajayi also urged residents, business owners and operators of hospitality and entertainment establishments to adopt environmentally responsible practices and cooperate with regulatory authorities, stressing that LASEPA would continue to enforce compliance without compromise. The story was first reported by Punch.
