Members of the community

In families, we have father, mother, children, uncles, aunts, cousins, grandparents and others.
In the community, we have leaders like the boas, obis and emirs who see to the welfare of the community. We also have chairmen of local government councils and other government officials. Of course, we also have members of the community.
In the school, we have the head teacher, other teachers, the pupils, and other people who help to look after the school. Some of such people are secretaries, gardeners, cleaners and sometimes, cooks.

Rules in the community

Members who live together have rules and regulations that they obey. If people obey rules and regulations, they will be happy. If people disobey, the community will not make good progress. Rules are made to promote orderliness, cooperation, happiness of all, respect and loyalty. Here are examples of some community rules:

Keep the environment clean.

Security guards must lock the street gates at midnight.
Street gates should be opened at 5 a.m.
