The
degree of moral decadence is a concern to deal with people in the society. In
the name of civilization, the moral standard of the people has fallen. If we go
into the family level, the example of such moral decline would be found. Children
are disobeying their parents and elderly ones. The fulfillment of a saying has
come in our generation “but children will curse their fathers and will not
bless their mothers. They are not cleansed of their filthiness. Their eyes are
full of lusts and their eye lids lifted high”.

Coming down to the
school, no doubts, the degree of indiscipline in Ikere is worries-some. There
are disobedience at all levels. Some are vandals, many of them have formed bad
companies and have their characters corrupted.
Crimes, such as smoking, drinking of alcohol, examination malpractices,
truants, bully and a host of others. In their immoral practices among the
matured ones, many have been shamefully put into family ways.
