President Buhari: “I Was Beaten A Lot By Teachers Because I Avoided School Farm”

President Muhammadu Buhari has said that his professors often spanked him in high school for consistently avoiding the school farm.

The President made this statement in the “Essential Muhammadu Buhari” documentary, which aired on January 1st.

The president recalled his early years in high school and praised the dedication of the educators in his age.

“Teachers in our age are utterly devoted and committed. They treated us as though we were their own kids. If you do well, you will be applauded in front of the class; if you perform badly, you will be flogged while facing the wall.

I will never be able to forget Mallam Abdul. He was an extremely harsh man who used the rod, which we called a “bulala,” without mercy.

We didn’t like the wet season since we had to visit the school farm at that time. Additionally, you would be flogged on your buttocks from 6 am to 2 pm if you were late to school. In order for you to get the message clearly, we did take off our shorts.

I will not soon forget our Arabic instructor among the professors. He did into the lesson wearing a turban despite the heat. We were instructed to recite passages from the Qur’an once a week.

I received a lot of beatings for consistently staying away from the school farm. And you won’t be able to take a break if you skip the school farm. However, I used to walk all around the school restroom and sometimes eat apples in the presence of other students. And none of them can be forgotten. He spoke
