I Couldn’t Walk: Lady Reveals How Plucking Palm Kernels Earned Her Six-Day Suspension

A Nigerian woman identified as @aisha47864 on X, formerly Twitter, has sparked reactions online after recounting a frightening incident she experienced during her secondary school days.

The woman explained that she and some of her classmates once attempted to pluck palm kernels from a tree located behind their classroom. However, what began as an ordinary school adventure reportedly turned into a terrifying experience when a stick nearly pierced her body during the activity.

According to Bush Radio Academy, the students were caught by school authorities and subsequently punished with a six-day suspension. The woman, however, said her experience was particularly painful, as she became unable to move her legs and had to be carried to the staff room for assistance.

Recalling the incident, she wrote: “They caught us and suspended me for 6 days. I couldn’t even walk, they had to carry me to staff room. Worst experience of my life.”

Her account has generated mixed reactions, with several social media users expressing concern and sympathy, while others questioned the circumstances surrounding the incident.

One commenter, identified as Method, jokingly reacted to the story, while Adenuga expressed sympathy and hoped the woman was not seriously injured.

Another user, Kian Bedding, questioned her description of how the stick nearly pierced her body, while Bari also asked her to explain exactly where the stick almost entered.

Binta Alubakri similarly questioned the details of the incident, suggesting that the woman had not fully explained what happened.

Despite the mixed responses, the woman’s recollection has continued to attract attention, with many users discussing the risks students sometimes take during playful activities in school.
