A group of secondary school students have stirred heated conversations online after a video showed them celebrating the end of examinations in a chaotic manner.
End of exams celebration turns rowdy
In the viral clips, the students, clad in pink uniforms, were seen hurling papers, clothes, and even personal belongings into the air while others danced, shouted, and dragged items across the premises.
The once orderly school environment was reduced to a dumping ground, with desks and cartons scattered in the open compound. What was supposed to be a moment of joy looked more like a marketplace after a riot.
The footage has since sparked debates on discipline, waste, and student culture across Nigerian schools.
Litter and vandalism trend among students
Observers noted that this pattern of end-of-exam celebration is not new, as students in various parts of Nigeria and Africa often resort to tearing and throwing away notebooks once exams are completed.
While some see it as a harmless release of excitement, critics argue that it promotes wastefulness and sends the wrong message about respect for learning materials.
Pictures of the incident showed heaps of litter across classrooms and corridors, leaving school property damaged and the grounds resembling a dumpsite.
This has raised calls for schools to rethink how exam completion is celebrated, with suggestions for supervised concerts, debates, or sporting events as alternatives.
Online backlash trails incident
The chaotic display generated heated reactions online, with some social media users excusing it as youthful exuberance, while others condemned it as a shameful reflection of poor values.
Many argued that parents and teachers have a role to play in curbing such behaviour, stressing that indiscipline, if left unchecked, may spill over into adulthood.
Some viewers even questioned whether the school authorities would sanction the students or simply overlook the matter.
For now, the videos continue to spread widely, fuelling debates about whether such outbursts should be tolerated or discouraged.
