<h3><strong>Public reactions</strong></h3>
<p>The footage has sparked concern among Facebook users, many of whom questioned discipline and supervision in public schools.</p>
<p>“This looks like the uniform of Community Comprehensive Secondary School, Four Towns, Abak Road,” said a Facebook user Ubong Asanga.</p>
<p>“Kai, it’s obviously not their first time,” writes Etuk Boniface in the comment section.</p>
<p>“Oh, those ones are gone,” another commenter, Unyime Innocent, wrote.</p>
<p>“After, the government will be blamed for not providing desks for students,” Otobong Nsekpong wrote.</p>
<p>“The girl, if not put on check, will likely become a free-to-air girl,” writes Murphy Lawrence.</p>

<p>“What is that girl doing in the group of boys?” Ekom Bassey writes.</p>
<p>“Very tiny elements, the decay in some public schools needs urgent attention. There’s no discipline nowadays. The old format of the late 80s should be invoked. Since parents are merciful, teachers should be sadistic,” writes Anietienteabaasi Akpan.</p>
