A social media post by Queen of the Rosary Secondary School, Gboko, has drawn sharp criticism after a Facebook user described it as a clear example of cyberbullying. The school’s media page, QRSSG Media, shared photographs of a student in uniform with the caption “The Latest Queenite, is saying, Hi to everyone out there. QRSSG to the World,” accompanied by Akon’s song “Beautiful Day.”
Zege’Orkwande Sughnen Yaaya responded publicly, addressing the school directly and stating that the post amounted to ridiculing a child because of her looks. “This is clear example of Cyber Bullying. Ridiculing someone’s child because of her looks. This isn’t nice. It’s not encouraging at all,” the user wrote.
The exchange has highlighted ongoing concerns about how educational institutions present students online and the potential for such posts to expose young people to unwanted attention or negative comments. The school’s original post featured multiple images of the same student in the standard pink-and-blue uniform and white beret, presented as a casual greeting to the public.
Critics following the conversation have pointed out that sharing images of minors on public platforms carries responsibility, especially when the framing can be interpreted as drawing attention to physical appearance rather than academic or personal achievement. The incident has renewed calls for schools to exercise greater care when featuring students on social media, ensuring posts remain supportive and protective of the children’s dignity.
