INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
For obvious reasons, we might be tempted to undermine the theme of
this paper. Reasons are not far fetched; the topic most academic will say is
trite and is of commonplace discourse in the nook and cranes of the country and
the world at large. However, we make bold to state here that these are mere
assumptions. The topic demands our serious consideration and resolution because
of its visible impediment to national growth and development. Beside, it is a
topic of all times. That is its currencies are without doubt apparent.
This being so, a clear understanding of the topic begin with an
espies on the meaning of the key term indiscipline. Indiscipline, a derivative
of the world, discipline, according to the chambers Twentieth century
dictionary is a mode of life in accordance with rules, subjection to control.
The oxford advanced learners dictionary defines it as lack of
control in the behaviour of a group of people. Tuluhi and Bello (1980) assert
that indiscipline is the breaking of rules and regulation of institutions.
According to Uwagie-Ero et al (2002) indiscipline is a state of disorder used
by lack of training and control. To this end, indiscipline can simply be seen
as mode of life NOT in conformity with rules and regulations capable of
obstructing the smooth and orderly, functioning of the school system.
Adeyemo (1985) school rules and regulations in most cases do
affect students more than any other thing because are made by the school
authorities. In order to guide and protect the students while in school. The
problem of indiscipline is more apparent among secondary school students;
indiscipline among them has attracted serious attention of scholars and
administrators. These scholars and administrators attribute indiscipline among
public secondary school students to their state of development. They opine that
when students notice certain biological changes signaling maturity in the
course of their growth and development, they tend to misbehave by faulting
schools rules and regulations (Mukharjee, 1985).
The causes of indiscipline are based on the acts of indiscipline
among students in public secondary school range from deviation from simple
norms and instructions of heinous crimes infact, the list is inexhaustible.
Ozula, (1986) listed some act of indiscipline which include disobedience,
absenteeism, violence, dishonesty, arson, idleness disorderliness, laziness,
vandalization, quarrelling, fighting, rioting, wickedness, smuggling, jealousy,
gossip, drunkenness, greed, selfishness, discriminations, corruptions, bribery,
drug abuse, sex abuse, and raping other are lawlessness, kidnapping, murder,
oppression, misappropriation of fund and management. Disobedience is the mother
of indiscipline. According to the Holy Bible, from the book Genesis 1:26,3:6,
22-23 says that God created the world and made man above everything therein
still man sinned-disobeyed God by eating the forbidding fruit the consequence
of this indiscipline was great, god cursed man and drove him out of the
garden.
