Enrol your children in schools or go to jail – Senate bill

Enrol your children in schools or go to jail – Senate bill

The Senate has passed for first reading a bill that recommends a fine of N50,000 to parents who default in providing their children with primary and secondary school education.

The Red Chamber also recommended free meals for every child in the country.

The bill proposed by Senator Orji Kalu titled, ‘Compulsory free Universal Basic Education Act 2004, Section 2’ states that every government in Nigeria shall provide free, compulsory and universal basic education for every child of primary and junior secondary school age.”

The act further states that “Every parent shall ensure that his child or ward attends and completes his primary school education and junior secondary school education by endeavouring to send the child to primary and junior secondary schools.”

“The Act further states that stakeholders in education in a local government area shall ensure that every parent or person who has the care and custody of a child performs the duty imposed on him under section 2(2) of this Act.”

The act further noted that a parent who contravenes the earlier prescription should be liable, on the first conviction, to be reprimanded.

“On a second conviction, a fine of N2,000 or imprisonment for a term of one month or both; and on subsequent conviction, to a fine of N5,000 or imprisonment for a term of two months or to both.”

The Senate, however, in its amendment, proposed N50,000 fines, instead of the N5,000 previously stated in the Act.

It stated, “A person who receives or obtains any fee contrary to the provisions of subsection (1) of this section commits an offence and is liable on conviction to a fine not exceeding N10,000 or imprisonment for a term of three months or to both.

“Every parent shall ensure that his child receives full-time education suitable to his age, ability and aptitude by regular attendance at schools.”

However, the Senate proposes, N100,000 in replacement of the N10,000.

The Senate proposed, “Section 3(2) of the Principal Act is amended by deleting N10,000 and inserting N100,000.”

Responding to this development, the Programme Coordinator for Basic Education at Reform Education, Nigeria, Ayodamola Oluwatoyin, in an interview with reporters, noted that while the move by the lawmakers seems commendable, there should be an investigation into the additional charges by the public schools across the country.

  1. Probably the kind of site that should be more widely read than it appears to be, and a look at vixarobonding reinforced that quiet wish, the gap between a sites quality and its apparent reach is sometimes large and that gap exists for this site in a way that makes me want to mention it more.

  2. Looking through the archives suggests this site has been doing this for a while at this level, and a look at businessgrowthpartnerships confirmed the long term consistency, sites that have maintained quality across years rather than just a recent stretch are sites with serious editorial discipline and this one has clearly been at it for a while.

  3. Just enjoyed the experience without needing to think about why, and a look at ulviontrustco kept that effortless feeling going, sometimes the best content is invisible in the sense that you forget you are reading until you reach the end and realise time has passed without you noticing it pass naturally.

  4. A piece that left me thinking I had been undercaring about the topic, and a look at ieeb reinforced that mild concern, content that raises the appropriate weight of a subject without being preachy about it is doing important work and this site is providing that gentle elevation of attention for me consistently.

  5. Right — been using this thing for something like five months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so thought I’d chuck my thoughts in since someone asked me the other day. Am based in the UK, generally bet football and racing, nothing mad, just so you know where I’m coming from.

    What got me on it was genuinely embarrassing — I couldn’t ever work out what an each way payout actually was with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d wing it and moan when the payout landed. Now type the odds in first, every time, even the boring singles.

    Their single bet calculator tool is the part I open most — type in stake and odds and it spits out profit and total return straight away, either odds format. There’s also the bigger stuff — acca and treble returns, a lucky 15, patents and yankees, honestly that’s where most people I know mess it up. If you fancy a poke about, it’s here [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/lucky-15]lucky15 calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.

    The thing that really shifted things for me is the more serious tools. The odds-to-probability thing that shows what margin’s baked in, plus a kelly staking tool — I use half kelly as the full version is terrifying. Dutching calculator gets used a fair bit if I’m covering two or three runners.

    It’s not perfect mind. The layout looks a bit basic — zero flash, it’s clearly function over form. On my phone it works though the acca grid need a bit of scrolling. Also there’s no proper app, just the site — doesn’t bother me just flagging it.

    So yeah. Costs nowt, no ads shoved in your face, does what it says. If anyone honestly works out returns on a calculator app, give it a go — it’s saved me a load of dumb bets I’d have regretted.

  6. Most of the time I bounce off similar pages within seconds, and a stop at velixotrustco held me longer than I would have predicted, the ability to convert a likely bouncing visitor into an engaged reader is a quality signal and this site has demonstrated that conversion ability across multiple visits where I expected to bounce.

  7. Worth recognising the specific care that went into how this post ended, and a look at CelticKitchen maintained the same careful conclusions, endings are where most blog content falls apart and this site has clearly invested in the closing stretches of its pieces rather than letting them simply trail off when energy fades.

  8. Honest take is that I will probably forget most of what I read online today but this post is one I will remember, and a stop at pelixotrustco kept that same memorable quality going, certain writing leaves a residue in the mind in a way most content simply does not manage.

  9. Right — have been messing about with this thing for maybe a few months now and I keep coming back, so figured I’d write something up since a lad on another thread asked me the other day. Am in the UK, generally bet football and racing, small stakes, just so you know where I’m coming from.

    What got me on it was genuinely a bit daft — I never could figure out what an ew payout would be once you get five places instead of three. Basically I’d wing it and then be surprised. These days I punch the numbers in first, every time, even a simple single bet.

    The single bet calculator is the one I use most — type in the price and your stake and it spits out returns instantly, either odds format. It also handles the multiples — trebles maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, patents and yankees, honestly that’s where most people I know got it wrong. Have a go yourself, it lives at [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/lucky-15]how to calculate a lucky 15[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.

    One thing that genuinely shifted things for me were the geekier bits. There’s an probability thing and it makes obvious what margin’s baked in, and there’s the kelly staking calculator — I stick to fractional kelly because full kelly is terrifying. Dutching calculator gets used a fair bit when I’m spreading across selections.

    Not all sunshine though. The interface is very functional, let’s say — not much flash, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On my phone it’s usable but the bigger tables need a bit of scrolling. And no app, it’s browser only — doesn’t bother me but you asked.

    Right, that’s me. Costs nowt, no ads shoved in your face, does what it says. If anyone honestly adds it up in their head, give it a go — saved me a load of arguments with the bookie.

  10. Reading this gave me a small sense of progress on a topic I have been slowly working through, and a stop at savennkga added another step forward, learning happens in small increments across many sources and finding sources that consistently contribute is the actual practical value of careful curation in an information rich world.

  12. Took a chance on the headline and was rewarded, and a stop at fullertonrecall kept the rewards coming as I clicked through, the kind of place where every link leads somewhere worth the click is a small luxury on the modern web where so many sites are mostly empty calories disguised as content.

  13. Will recommend this to a couple of friends who have been asking about this exact topic, and after suffragefilmfestival I have even more reason to do so, the kind of site that earns word of mouth rather than chasing it through aggressive marketing or paid placements is always a treat to find online.

  14. Started reading expecting to disagree and ended mostly nodding along, and a look at vexaroline continued the pattern, content that wins agreement through evidence and reasoning rather than rhetorical force is the kind that actually shifts minds and this site clearly knows how to do that across what I have read so far.

  15. A piece that prompted a small mental rearrangement of how I order related ideas, and a look at yungbludcomic extended that rearranging effect, content that affects the structure of my thinking rather than just adding to it is content with the deepest kind of impact and this site is reaching that depth for me today.

  16. Now feeling mildly impressed in a way I do not quite remember feeling about a blog in a while, and a stop at maverotrustline extended that mild impression, content that produces specific positive emotional responses rather than just neutral information transfer is content with extra dimensions and this site has those extra dimensions clearly.

  17. Right — been using this thing for maybe a few months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so thought I’d say something since a lad on another thread asked me last week. I’m in the UK, mainly stick to footie and the horses, a fiver here and there, just so you know where I’m coming from.

    How I found it was genuinely a bit daft — I never could get my head round what an each way return actually was with 1/5 odds a place. I’d just guess and get a shock. Now I stick my stake in before every slip, even the boring singles.

    The single bet calculator tool is the bit I use most — you drop in the price and your stake and you get profit and total return instantly, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. It also handles the multiples — doubles and trebles returns, lucky 15s, a yankee, which is where most people I know got it wrong. If you want a look, it’s over at [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/yankee]super yankee calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.

    What really made a difference was the nerdier extras. They’ve got an implied probability converter and it makes obvious the overround, and there’s the kelly criterion calculator — I use half kelly since full stakes are far too aggressive. Dutching calculator is handy too when I’m splitting a race.

    It’s not perfect mind. The interface is a bit basic — no flash, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On mobile it’s fine though the lucky 63 breakdown make you pinch and zoom. And no app, it’s browser only — doesn’t bother me but worth saying.

    Right, that’s me. Costs nowt, not plastered in adverts, does what it says. If you even now works out returns on a calculator app, have a look — saved me plenty of arguments with the bookie.

  18. OK — been on this thing for maybe a few months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so thought I’d chuck my thoughts in since a mate asked me the other day. I’m in the UK, mostly bet football and racing, nothing mad, just so you know where I’m coming from.

    What got me on it was honestly pretty stupid — I never could figure out what an ew return actually came to when the place terms changed. Basically I’d guess and moan when the payout landed. Now type the odds in before every slip, even the boring singles.

    Their single bet calculator tool is the bit I’m on daily — you drop in the price and your stake and you get profit and total return straight away, either odds format. Same tool covers the multiples — doubles and trebles maths, a lucky 15, yankees, which is where most people I know got it wrong. Have a go yourself, it lives at [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/dutch]dutch calculator[/url] — free, no signup.

    One thing that genuinely made a difference is the geekier extras. They’ve got an odds-to-probability calculator and it makes obvious how much the bookie’s taking, plus a kelly criterion tool — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is far too aggressive. The dutching one gets used a fair bit for when I’m splitting a race.

    It’s not perfect mind. Its design looks pretty plain — not much polish, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On my phone it’s usable but the acca grid make you pinch and zoom. Also there’s nothing on the app store, it’s browser only — doesn’t bother me just flagging it.

    So yeah. Free, no ads shoved in your face, does the job. Anyone who honestly adds it up in their head, try it — saves me a fair few arguments with the bookie.

  19. A genuine pleasure to find a site that publishes at a sustainable cadence rather than chasing the daily content treadmill, and a look at tatumsounds confirmed the careful publication rhythm, sites that prioritise quality over frequency are rare and this one has clearly chosen the slower pace which I appreciate as a reader.

  20. Reading this triggered a small reorganisation of my own thinking on the topic, and a stop at xalirobonding furthered that reorganisation, content that affects the shape of my mental model rather than just decorating it with new facts is content with structural rather than informational impact and this site provides that.

  21. Started reading skeptically because the headline seemed overconfident, and the post earned the headline by the end, and a look at pgmbconsultancy continued that pattern of earning its claims, sites that can back up their headlines without overpromising are rare and this one has clearly developed editorial calibration on that front consistently.

  22. If patience for careful reading is rare these days finding sites that reward it is rarer still, and a stop at xevirotrust extended that rare reward, the diminishing returns on shallow content reading have made me more selective about where to spend reading time and this site is meeting the higher selectivity bar consistently.

  23. The way the post stayed on topic throughout without going on tangents was really refreshing, and a look at abbysauce kept that focused approach going, discipline like this in writing is rare and worth recognising because most writers cannot resist wandering off into related subjects that dilute their main point and confuse readers along the way.

  24. Reading this on a slow Sunday and finding it perfectly suited to a slow Sunday read, and a quick stop at zavirotrusthub kept the same gentle pace, content that fits the mood of the moment is something I notice and remember and this site has the kind of pace that suits relaxed reading sessions especially well.

  25. Will be passing this along to a few people who would benefit from the perspective shared here, and a stop at velon only added to what I will be sharing, this kind of generous content deserves to circulate widely rather than getting buried in some search engine algorithm tweak that pushes it down the rankings.

  26. Came in tired from a long day and the writing held my attention anyway, and a stop at naviroline kept that going, content that can engage a fatigued reader is doing something right because most online reading happens in suboptimal conditions like that one and quality content adapts to it without complaint.

  27. Honest reaction is that this is the kind of writing I would defend in a conversation about good blog content, and a look at bantonwoodson reinforced that, the rare site whose work I would actively recommend rather than just tolerate is the kind I want to support through return visits regularly.

  28. A piece that built up gradually rather than front loading its main points, and a look at vexaropartners maintained the same gradual structure, content that trusts the reader to reach conclusions through accumulating reasoning is more persuasive than content that announces conclusions and then defends them and this site uses the persuasive approach.

  30. Now leaving a small mental note to recommend this when the topic comes up in conversation, and a look at zaviroplex extended that recommend ready feeling, content that arms me with shareable references for likely future conversations is content with social value and this site is providing that conversational ammunition consistently for me lately.

  31. Refreshing to read something where the words actually mean something instead of filling space, and a stop at discoverprofessionalgrowth kept that going, the writing here trusts the reader to follow along without endless repetition or constant reminders of what was already said earlier in the post which I appreciate.

  32. The use of plain language without dumbing down the topic was really well done, and a look at jonathanfinngamino continued in that same accessible style, this is something many technical writers fail at because they either confuse their readers or condescend to them but here neither problem appears at all which is impressive really.

  33. Bookmark added with a small mental note that this is a site to keep, and a look at vixaroline reinforced the keep status, the verb keep rather than visit captures something about how I think about this kind of site and it is a higher tier of relationship than I have with most places online today.

  34. Reading the writers other posts after this one suggests the quality is consistent rather than peak, and a stop at xelariocore confirmed the consistent quality reading, sites that hold the same level across many pieces rather than peaking on a few are sites with sustainable editorial discipline and this one has clearly developed that.

  36. Closed it feeling I had taken something away rather than just consumed something, and a stop at strategicgrowthpartnerships extended that taking away feeling, the difference between content I extract value from and content I just pass through is something I track informally and this site is consistently in the value extraction column for me.

  37. Came back to this an hour later to reread a specific section, and a quick visit to nevirontrustco also drew a second look, content that pulls you back rather than letting you move on permanently is the kind I want to fill my browser bookmarks with in 2026 and beyond as the open internet evolves.

  38. OK — been on this thing for about a few months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so thought I’d chuck my thoughts in since someone asked me last week. Am based in the UK, mainly bet football and racing, nothing mad, for context.

    What got me on it was genuinely embarrassing — I never could work out what an ew return would be with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d wing it and then be surprised. These days I punch the numbers in first, every time, even a simple single bet.

    The single bet calculator is the bit I use most — type in stake and odds and it shows profit and total return instantly, fractions or decimals. There’s also the bigger stuff — trebles returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, a yankee, which is where I’d always mess it up. If you want a look, it’s here [url=https://freebet-calculator.com/bet-calculator/patent]patent calculator[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.

    What genuinely shifted things for me were the geekier extras. There’s an odds-to-probability thing which shows you what margin’s baked in, and a kelly tool — I use half kelly because full kelly is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutch tool is decent for when I’m splitting a race.

    It’s not perfect mind. The layout looks a bit basic — zero frills, it’s clearly function over form. On my phone it’s fine though the acca grid make you pinch and zoom. There’s no proper app, it’s a website and that’s it — slight shame just flagging it.

    So yeah. Free, barely any ads, does the job. Anyone who even now adds it up in their head, have a look — saves me a load of dumb bets I’d have regretted.

  39. A piece that built up gradually rather than front loading its main points, and a look at AlmostFashionableMovie maintained the same gradual structure, content that trusts the reader to reach conclusions through accumulating reasoning is more persuasive than content that announces conclusions and then defends them and this site uses the persuasive approach.

  40. Glad I gave this a chance instead of bouncing on the headline, and after pandemoniumtheshow I was certain I had made the right call, snap judgements based on titles miss a lot of good content and this is a reminder to slow down and check things out before scrolling past in a hurry.
