@OloriofOloris, “Omo it’s not enough for the girl to be expelled, I need her and her family members flogged and slapped in return. I need her blacklisted from other schools and then taken to Cele for deliverance. #JusticeForNamtira
@akop_tech, “It’s really disheartening to see this lady being bullied, painful thing is been bullied by her fellow lady not by a guy, why send your children to big schools and they get to face this kind bully is clearly wrong. Namtira is the victim and Mayram is the villain. #JusticeForNamtira”
@theefejohnson, “Everybody saying she should have fought back doesn’t know how bullies work.
“It’s first psychological. They established some sort of dominance over time before ever hitting her. I know because I was in a high school that had “Queen bees.” This made me mad! #JusticeForNamtira”
@Nichevo_ya, “If one student is bullying another student brazenly like this, then how can we be sure that #LeadBritishSchool does not foster a bullying culture in their school? There must be #JusticeForNamtira”
