As the controversies over the death of a 12-year-old Sylvester Oromoni of Dowen College, Lekki, Lagos, continue to trend, a social commentator, Abraham Great has advised the government to address the issue of bullying in schools because it could snowball into something worse.
According to him, if the problem of bullying is allowed to fester, some of the pupils involved in this act after graduating from the high school could continue this despicable act in tertiary institutions.

Abraham Great believes that the problem of cultism in our higher institutions is a problem of hunger for power. “Cultism strives where there is poverty, but it is mainly the rich that lure the poor into cultism. What a dichotomy. The rich and poor have one thing in common, hunger for power. Those who eat what belongs to the poor are chief cultists who breed both poverty and cultism.
Oromoni Jnr. died of complications, last week, as a result of injuries sustained from an attack by a group of five senior colleagues for allegedly refusing to join a cult group in the school.
