TEACHER LIFE

I’ve heard it more than once.
“You pamper these children too much.”
“They are too close to you.”
“That’s why even the ones who have graduated still come back to hug you before they go home.”
And every time, I smile and reply the same way:
“I treat them the way I want my own child to be treated by a teacher one day.” Because for me, that is the standard.

Over time, I’ve also noticed something in early years classrooms.
Before a child even enters a new class, there is already a story written about them.
Sometimes from a previous teacher.
Sometimes from a sibling.
Sometimes from a parent’s reputation.
And without realising it, that “story” follows the child into the room.
The child hasn’t even spoken… but they are already labelled.
...….And that is where I pause.

Because every child deserves a fresh chance.
My approach has always been simple.
Be friendly, but firm.
Let them explore, but with guidance.
Yes, I will play with you, Sing with you, dance with you and Jump around with you but when it is time to learn, you must learn.
What I cannot do is run a classroom where children are stiff, silent, and afraid to express themselves.
That is not classroom management.
That is tyranny.
And I don’t believe kindergarten was ever meant to feel like that.
This is a child’s first real experience of school.
It should not only be about alphabets and numbers…
It should also be about safety, joy, curiosity, and confidence.
Because long after they forget worksheets and test scores…
They will remember how school made them feel.
And I would rather be remembered as the teacher who made learning feel like home than the one who made it feel like pressure.

I wish i had a teacher like you, maybe, just maybe o for sabi book pass like this..LOL

NOTORIOUS FOR JESUS

Last weekend, I met this beautiful woman in her 50's during our monthly street sanitation exercise...
We both were assigned to gutter cleaning so we were sweeping.
We started to chat about the importance of raising responsible children and she decided to tell me what happened the previous day.

She had gone to her son’s school unannounced, just to check on him.
After exchanging pleasantries with the principal, she gave her permission to walk to her son's class unexpectedly. Guess what?
Her son was standing on a desk, shouting and throwing paper, while the class roared with laughter with the teacher right there, looking overwhelmed.
Without thinking twice, she stormed in. Before the boy could even process her presence, she landed him two dirty slaps across his cheek. Everywhere went silent.
Then she turned to the teacher and asked why he let him get this rotten. She kept screaming " What kind of school allows this nonsense?”

She pulled the boy by his ears and dragged him to the principal's office but the principal reminded her of how every last of the parents concluded during the PTA meeting that punishment should not be meted out to their children.
She was quiet for a moment and when she opened her mouth, it turned out her first son was already in prison for robbery.

She began begging the principal that she will not stand by and watch the second one follow the same path, and that when he misbehaves, he should be seriously dealt with.
She picked her son by the arm, walked him back to the now very silent class, and asked the teacher to give him some good strokes of cane.
It is important for parents to visit their school unexpectedly because it helps them see their child’s true behavior and performance without any preparation or cover-up.
It also allows parents to identify problems early, such as poor teaching, bullying, or indiscipline, and take quick action. This kind of involvement strengthens accountability and ensures the child stays on the right path.

WOW!!!....I disagree with the beating though and i will never ever allow anyone to help me beat my child...NEVER!!!

THINGS EVERY TENANT SHOULD KNOW

---A tenancy agreement can be oral or written. However, it is always advisable to have it in writing, as documents are easier to prove than verbal arrangements.

---The length of a Notice to Quit depends on how rent is paid — whether weekly, monthly, or yearly.

---A landlord cannot evict you by force, lock your apartment, or disconnect your utilities. Such actions amount to illegal self-help eviction.

---Before any lawful eviction, proper statutory notices must be served — including a Notice to Quit and, where applicable, a Notice of Owner’s Intention to Recover Possession.

---Every tenant is entitled to peaceful enjoyment of the premises. Your landlord cannot enter your apartment without your consent.

---Rent cannot be increased arbitrarily. A landlord must give proper notice before any increment.

----Always keep proof of rent payment — receipts or any written acknowledgment can protect you in disputes.

---Use the property only for the agreed purpose. Residential property should not be converted to commercial use without consent.

---A landlord cannot demand excessive rent in advance beyond what the law permits. For example, in places like Lagos, collecting more than one year’s rent from a new tenant is unlawful.
--If your rights are violated, you have the right to seek redress in court.
Stay informed.
Stay protected.
Stay legally wise.
Ignorantia juris non excusat (Ignorance of the law is no excuse).

WHAT FOR BETTER FOR WORSE TRULY MEANS

The only trials and tribulations you should accept in marriage are the ones life throws at us not the ones someone deliberately creates to hurt you.
Sickness,financial difficulties,job loss or career setbacks,infertility or challenges conceiving,pregnancy and childbirth complications,grief and loss of loved ones etc.
Raising children and the stress that comes with it.

Misunderstandings and communication struggles.
Relocation and starting over in a new place.
Family pressures or in-law issues.
Mental health struggles and unexpected life changes.
These are the storms life brings and most times they are inevitable.
This is what for better for worse means.
But cruelty, humiliation, betrayal, and abuse are not “marital challenges”they are choices and you don’t have to stay and suffer for someone else’s choices to be an indecent human being.
