Okay... But long as you guys post such videos of yourselves ill treating one another online, they'll watch them and start presuming that maybe this whole thing of cutting of students' hair in schools is part of our culture as black/African people ... And soon enough, they'll start applying the same approach on those black/African kids schooling in the UK and we'll have no one but ourselves to blame.

Don't forget that there are a lot of Nigerian kids schooling across Europe.

I think your argument here is way outside the scope of this thread. And the way you mention South Africa makes me presume you might be South African (confirm please), which definitely would make you view this issue from a completely different perspective than a Nigerian might.

In UK, how black people treat themselves has no bearing on the general treatment of black people, because we are mandated to be blind to race, age, sex, disability, gender reassignment, marriage or civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, religion or belief, and sexual orientation by the Equality Act 2010, which influences my own perspective and view.

In Nigeria, tribalism (and genderism, if I may), is more of an issue than race.

So, why the South Africa, where the problems faced are very different to those we face in Naija? Do you live there perhaps?

I was just using it as an example... And again it's like you keep forgetting that there are Africans across Europe, especially Nigerians... Don't think that Europeans are not watching videos like this one of a lecturer cutting off her student's hair, because they do watch them.

So, an European lecturer in Europe will cut off an African's hair because they watched an African cut off an African's hair?

I guess they'd quickly find they are not subject to Africa's laws if they dared.

I mean already black people have been complaining about racism across Europe.

But not as much as they used to complain since there's relatively much less racism these days.

In my lifetime alone, "no dogs no blacks no Irish", was not uncommon in job and room vacancy adverts in newspapers, but they are illegal now. And if you call someone the n-word in UK today and have evidence they did, you'd likely be in the money and that person in jail.

If there was as much racism as you think, Nigerians and most Africans will japa elsewhere, I'd think.

Africans do experience racism in Europe, but most of them just choose to overlook it because they have nowhere else to go, and they certainly don't want to come back to Africa.

I once came across this other video of an Ugandan guy who grew up in the UK and he was talking about how he hated his dark skin throughout his childhood because of the treatment he'd get from the people there... His parents were aware of it, but didn't do anything about it... He looked like he could still be in his 20s.

And also that Nigerian girl who became the first black Miss Universe Ireland... Irish people were busy roasting her online for being a black Miss Universe Ireland... A lot of those Irish ladies were even denying her as their representative, they said she was a fake.

I am afraid that having knowledge of racism in Europe in the 50s-60s, and witnessed it from the 70s, those Africans experiencing racism today should be glad at the battles we fought for them to be enjoying the little racism they experience today.

She couldn't have been Miss Universe Ireland in the 90s, so we must have come along far.

Good riddance angry the nursing profession has almost be reduced to a low budget oloshoism. Marrying or dating most nurses of this generation is just like stylishly dating or marrying holosho shocked

Rules & regulations are what separates us from animals.

I am glad you mentioned homosapiens which is VERY correct. It has nothing to do with race, black people or whatever, because human beings take chances when the opportunity is available

So westerners are animals? Because they're the ones who introduced nursing to Africans and they still keep their long hair, unless if Nigerian nurses are assumed to be incapable of looking after their long hair.

Discipline taken to far

Why not ask her to cut it and or give her the appropriate punishment if she has broken any rules and regulations

Unfortunately, it does. Not all jobs though, but professions like medicine, nursing, catering, etc. Reason? To prevent loose strands of hair finding their way into foods, open wounds, etc. Germs and bacteria are unwelcome comrades, right? Same applies to jewelries, rings, etc. 😂

this is the outcome of slapping three year olds

everyone grows up to be power mad and obsessed with oppressing

the civilised thing to do is to tell the lady that she is in contravention of school rules and she can

1) take a warning
2) leave the class

the teacher has no business cutting the students hair

in fact all that talk about hair is as archaic as insisting female layers wear skirts
there are multiple options today for managing long hair in factories, kitchens etc

Most Nigerians deserve the type of leaders they get.

How do you even justify this?
Yes, there are rules against keeping long hair/hairstyles but does the rule say the hair must be cut carelessness in the class?

Two wrongs don't make a right. Send the students home, give them mark deductions, suspend them, do anything but not this barbaric act.

This is abuse of power and position and it should have no place in a sane environment.

You are right.
The lecturer should have given the idiot a cup of ice cream to take a long when going to the salon to remove the braid

Just imagine when she bends down to attend to someone in pain and the long hair drops on the patient's face, what do you think will be the repercussion?
Every profession has its own ethics, bro. Have you forgotten how nurses in general hospitals in those days used to look? Some of them, then if you see them, you would even feel better even though you were not feeling well. But these days, hmmmm.

A nursing student recently shared a shocking video showing her lecturer cutting her long, braided hair, along with the hair of other students, after returning from the holiday break. shocked

The student, who returned with a festive, bold hairstyle, was met with the lecturer's decision to cut her hair, as long braids are reportedly against the school's code of conduct. According to the institution’s rules, students are not supposed to resume with such elaborate hairstyles, particularly when it may pose hygiene and safety concerns in a clinical setting.

One netizen weighed in with a comment that’s quickly gaining attention: "That’s what happens when you fail to recognize that every job has its own ethics and code of conduct. For instance, a nurse wearing long braids to a hospital or clinic while attending to patients wouldn’t be appropriate. Understand your job’s ethics, and you’ll find peace." shocked
