This kind of theft is painful for many Nigerians. Schools already face challenges with poor buildings, and when thieves remove roofing sheets, it exposes classrooms to rain and sun, making learning difficult for pupils.
The video has caused a lot of reactions online. Many people condemned the man’s action. Comments like “This is wickedness” and “How can someone steal from where children learn?” were common. Some users called for serious punishment so that others will learn a lesson. Others wondered how many times this happens without people knowing.
A few people used the video to talk about the hard times in the country. “Poverty is pushing people to do bad things,” one person wrote. But most agreed that stealing from a school is not acceptable no matter the situation. Some shared stories of similar thefts in their own communities, saying it has become too common.
