Another thing observed was that no structures have been built for the school. A typical classroom consists of a wall, maybe a blackboard and metal chairs. Thus students in one class can see and hear what’s happening in another class because of they are in the open air. Also, the school signboard reads Peace Nursery and Day Care Centre even though it now has a primary section. However, the staff and headmistress have their personal offices. The main hall for televising live football matches also serves as the classroom for primary three students during the day. The school does not run shifts.

During the day, one could see plastic chairs belonging to the football section neatly arranged to one side. Conversely, metal chairs belonging to the school are also neatly arranged during the evenings by the wall. According to the operators of the football centre, business is good since football is the passion of the people. Most of their patrons are young people. They also charge a little lower than their competitors. In indeed if business was not good, they wouldn’t be able to pay their rent.

Though the caretaker blamed the collapse of victory cinema on the influx of pirated movies and availability cheaper DVD players, one really wonders if that is the case.
