Popular Arise TV presenter Rufai Oseni has ignited a social media firestorm after sharing disturbing footage of what students are being fed at a Nigerian school.
The video has left thousands of viewers outraged and demanding answers.
The clip shows young students lined up to receive their lunch – a portion of eba (cassava flour) paired with what can only be described as watery soup.
The meal looked more like colored water than actual food, with no visible protein like meat or fish anywhere in sight.
Rufai kept his caption simple but powerful: “A school in Nigeria.”
Those four words were enough to trigger a nationwide conversation about the state of education and child welfare in the country.
Within hours of posting, the video had thousands of shares and comments from furious Nigerians.
Many parents and concerned citizens couldn’t believe what they were seeing.
“How do we expect these children to learn and grow when they’re being fed like this?” one user commented.
Others called it “criminal” and “heartbreaking,” with many demanding immediate action from education authorities.
The poor quality of the meal has raised serious questions about the nutritional value children are receiving during school hours.
Nutrition experts worry that such inadequate feeding could affect students’ concentration, health, and overall academic performance.
This incident has become more than just about one school’s cafeteria.
Many Nigerians see it as a reflection of deeper issues plaguing the country’s education system – underfunding, poor oversight, and what critics call systematic neglect of public schools.
The video serves as a wake-up call about the conditions many Nigerian children face daily in their pursuit of education.
While some private schools offer quality meals, this footage shows the stark reality for students in less privileged institutions.
As the video continues to circulate, pressure is mounting on school administrators and education officials to address not just this specific case, but child welfare issues in Nigerian schools.
