My Experience In A Navy School
This is a continuation of the last post by Chinedu (here )you like to read that first for better understanding of the situation at hand.You advice is highly needed,well in the comment section.
One day like that after the barber finishing barbing my hair I went to the tap to wash my hair, but since water wasn’t rushing. I went toward my hostel to go and change to my check. Then Mr. Johnson (navy man) came and told every one should come to him and line up and started giving everyone three each with his military belt, that time I wasn’t wearing anything on top and after he gave me three, that is when the koboko came. He was flogging us because it was time for afternoon prep and we did not hear the bell. But the boys that had marks on their back that were not wearing top went to report to XO (Executive Officer, Uncle Kelvin’s mate) she told us to go to the sick bay for treatment.
Another one was the one that I told you about the nail that cut my arm. It was not a nail, it was a navy man called “red army” that did it to me. I was busy washing my clothes and then everyone started running away; I started wondering what was happening, so I ran to. Then red army caught some people hiding, including me, I told us to hang (legs on the wall and hands on the ground) and I was the first person he floged with one big cane on my arm and back, both places were bleeding seriously. I reported to the sickbay and lied that it was a nail that caused it, because I didn’t want trouble with that red army again, and that was when the commandant came to the sickbay.
Stealing is a common thing in this school if you lock your locker, at night seniors will start jacking and breaking padlocks and steal one of your belongings and they will leave your locker open, or if you leave your school bag in the class and then someone will come to your class and then steal your notebook or something else they interested in.
In this school, you have to give and if you are a stingy person and you don’t like giving. Everyone will start fixing you (navy slang: focusing, disturbing you) and will hate you, they might take your clothes and burn them and start stealing your belongings. Plus if seniors are focusing on you, they might do the worst things for you.
When we are in class and the teacher is not around, my classmates start making noise and running around. And then a navy man or teacher will start punishing the whole class or will cane all of us. When one teacher gives us something to do and she counts to a certain number, for us to submit, and if you don’t submit during the count he/she wouldn’t accept your work. If you are coming back from break and you enter the class after the teacher, he/she will tell you to stay outside until the period is over.
Some of my seniors and mates ask me where I am from and tell them about my family, and then they ask me whether I like this school and I answer “no.” After, they asked me whether I want to transfer and I answer “yes,” then they said I should tell my parents that I don’t like this school and I want to transfer, because I don’t fit in this school.

I like your style.
my 2kobo?
chinedu might have been more traumatised than we can imagine!
it’s horror going to this public boarding schools…it’s real torture.
why would you have considered sending him to such abbatoir-like school? to toughen him up a bit? or why?
there are cool private boarding schools in lagos where kids learn to do stuffs on their own without the daily parental interference; and they learn in a civil way…not in the barbaric fashion he just explained above.
in public boarding schools many are often toughened and roughened negatively. only few survive the emotional turmoil.
he deserves something better!
we all do…
