A past governor from this state used their money to build a moribund Tinapa and spend millions celebrating carnivals. Donald Duke should as matter of urgency sell Tinapa and repair these. This is sad. https://t.co/HwaKCCBNdG— Arinze (@NwaOnyenkuzi) October 6, 2019

Please, is there a way to have a class action suit against Nigerian Governors in all parties - @OfficialPDPNig @OfficialAPCNg @ApgaHQ
for child endangerment/gross abuse of rights of children or any applicable charge? @Eduplana_NG @HenshawKate https://t.co/hWguA4DBkp

If I insult Donald Duke dem now, people go vex. Honest, don’t Nigerians feel some responsibility for the development of their States?
If these men, are powerless after all their years in power, who then can handle these matters? FG?

Are we alright in this country? How can anyone be happy to lead a state where a school, any school, looks like this? How? A state that gets 13% oil derivative o. Such a crying shame.— Tunde Leye (@tundeleye) October 6, 2019

The key to the growth and development of any nation lies in investing in education, and it has to be done now. It cannot wait, it has to be done now. https://t.co/uLq28q7L8T— Street Tutors (@StreetTutors) October 6, 2019
We have to invest in education, we can no longer shy from this responsibility, it is inhumane and wicked to subject our children to learning under conditions such as this, education cannot wait. https://t.co/K4O75ITWcw— Olabisi Oke (@bisioke) October 6, 2019

@OfficialPDPNig This is your state and you have to call the governor to order. We now have may southern governors working against the good image and legacy of the party. This is very worrisome. @UcheSecondus @realFFK @atiku— J'ÁŠ₽ĚŘ 💯%🇳🇬 (@Nija_4life) October 6, 2019

This is unacceptable, our children deserve to learn in a decent and conducive environment. We must do all we can to ensure that this facility or whatever it is (because it definitely is not a place of learning), is pulled down and a more befitting edifice is put up in it's place. https://t.co/uLq28q7L8T— Street Tutors (@StreetTutors) October 6, 2019
Nigeria is a country that’s actively undermining its progress. I was reading through a literature on failed states the other day, the more I read the more it felt like the authors were describing Nigeria.— The African Analyst (@AfrikaAnalyst) October 6, 2019

If not unmerited grace who will make it out of this kind of structure named school 🚸 by Govt?
The Gov. need act quickly since it's been brought to his attention.
You mean there is primary school like this in a very rich Rivers State. Shame on Odili,Amaechi,& Wike. Sad. https://t.co/KCSw4ayNyY— John Danfulani (@john_danfulani) October 6, 2019

Obviously the community is not located by a major highway! That's the fate of communities whose locations do not attract attention to show how Govts are working!

I'm not holding brief for them and never will but please let's always cross check our facts, Boki is in Cross River State not in Rivers State. It is still very despicable that any government can sleep with eyes closed with such school in his state. @senatorbenayade is a prof.— Tammy Onari-Brown (@OnariTammy) October 7, 2019
