Popular Nigerian actress and serial band ambassador, Mercy Johnson-Okojie has said she will not withdraw her daughter from Chrisland School despite her allegations that a teacher bullied the 8-year-old.
She made the disclosure during the week in the course of a meeting with the school management.
According to the mother of 4, “Purity, our daughter had an encounter with a teacher whose seemingly inflexible approach got her off-balance.
“We have been able to have a deep, frank conversation with the Chrisland authorities and we have come to a meaningful positive resolution.
“It is our choice to move forward together as crucial partners with valuable, immeasurable roles to play in the development of our children.
“We are pleased with their efforts towards ensuring that all pupils get an all-round balanced and qualitative learning.
“Chrisland has assured us of their commitment to the bigger picture, which is firmly centred upon being responsive to the fragile emotions of children as well as the valid concerns of parents.
Ibironke Adeyemi, the Managing Director of Chrisland School Conglomerate confirms that the institution has investigated the case and has found rough edges to smoothen up.
His position is contained in a statement published during the weekend.
Statement by Chrisland School:
“We had a long, frank, and fruitful conversation, part of which was our firm reassurance that Chrisland as an institution holds sacrosanct, a zero-tolerance for bullying,” she said.
“As promised, we also investigated the issue on the ground and were able to establish there were rough edges to smoothen up from a clearly avoidable misunderstanding.
“We ironed this out without losing focus on the bigger picture of deepening our children including Purity Okojie, in our institution’s core values which are discipline, integrity, professionalism, love, and excellence.
“The cordiality and empathy accorded the Okojies is characteristic of our corporate tradition and cuts across every family that holds us in trust to raise their kids irrespective of race, creed or social standing.
“It’s natural to feel some disquiet about the approach adopted in airing her grievance.
“We have translated this engagement opportunity into useful insights on less disconcerting methods of redress in future, especially as it’s unrealistic not to expect occasional frictions within humanity’s social ecosystem.”

Good article. It is extremely unfortunate that over the last one decade, the travel industry has had to take on terrorism, SARS, tsunamis, bird flu virus, swine flu, as well as first ever real global tough economy. Through everything the industry has proven to be sturdy, resilient as well as dynamic, finding new solutions to deal with trouble. There are often fresh difficulties and the possiblility to which the field must all over again adapt and answer.
