A girl of about 7 or 8 named Success Adegor, a pupil of Okotie Eboh Primary School II has attracted media presence to herself because of her so-called stubbornness and zeal for school. When interviewed by the person who published her on social media, she complained that she was chased from school for not paying school fees.
From her video that has gone viral, one could feel the bitterness from her complaints. She complained that the school authorities should have flogged her and let her stay in school instead of sending her home since she will still pay the fees eventually. She really poured out her heart to show how she felt by her demonstrations while adding that if they had flogged her, they would be the ones to get tired.
I will rather say that her stubbornness is constructive because it attracted first the person that wanted so badly to know why she is ranting, then that person interviewed and published her on social media. Ever since, she has attracted favour to her family and school, apart from her media presence. So many individuals have taken up the responsibility of paying her fees while government representatives have gone to check out the state her school, which is in a mess. Our take on this is that any kind of stubbornness that does not attract good fortune should be done away with.
The problem here now is that we so much love popularity. Since someone has initially promised to sponsor her or pay up her school fees, others should please focus on other children around them who are suffering the same fate. Everybody must not pay Success' school fees and sponsor her all the way to university, it will be too much for one child when there are other children going through the same thing. We shouldn't help because that help will make us trend or go viral; we should help because that help is needed.
