TEACHER LIFE
At this point, I am convinced teachers need a recovery group.
Not for classroom stress.
Not for lesson notes.
Not even for parents.
A proper support group for people traumatized by school management systems
A new colleague recently shared her experience from her former school and honestly, I have not recovered.
I asked her why she left.
The story she told me...
Haaaaaa.
This lady was the Headmistress.
At the same time, she was a class teacher.
Not for one class.
Not for two classes.
Three classes.
Three.
And as if that wasn't enough, she was also the unofficial social media manager for the school.
All for ₦50,000.
A graduate of Early Childhood Education.
I asked her,
"Why were you handling three classes?"
She said she once asked the school owner the same question.
The response?
"I am not ready to pay anybody more than ₦50,000."
Simple.
Case closed
Then she continued.
Apparently, there was a period when the bus attendant resigned.
Instead of employing another one...
Guess who became the bus attendant?
Her.
The Headmistress.
Class teacher.
Social media manager.
And now bus attendant.
One person carrying an entire organizational chart.
Haaaaaaa.
According to her, salaries were rarely paid on time.
Staff would wait. And wait. And wait.
There was always one explanation or another.
Then came the event that finally broke her spirit.
One day she stumbled upon a budget document for the school owner's daughter's wedding.
The budget? ₦60 million..Sixty. Million Naira.
Meanwhile, staff salaries were outstanding.
The school's rent was overdue.
The landlord had reportedly served a notice to quit.
But there was ₦60 million available for a wedding.
At that point, she said something inside her just clicked.
No shouting.No argument.No confrontation.
She simply sat down at the school computer, typed her resignation letter, submitted it, and left.
Just like that.
As she was telling me this story, I found myself becoming very quiet.
Because there I was thinking I was underpaid.
Only to discover there are levels to these things
Some people are not underpaid.
They are under-underpaid.
The kind of salary that makes you wonder whether your employer sees you as staff or as part of the school's charity project.
The truth is that many teachers stay because they genuinely love teaching.
They love children.
They love seeing growth.
They love making a difference.
But passion cannot pay rent.
Passion cannot buy fuel.
And passion definitely cannot survive indefinitely on promises.
Sometimes when people ask why teachers are leaving the profession, the answer is not complicated.
Many are simply tired of being expected to do the work of five people while being paid like half a person.
God help teachers in Nigeria because sometimes the stories you hear from fellow teachers sound less like employment and more like survival.
She became the Bus driver? God abeg, I don laugh tire..what is this? hahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahaha Miss C please dont crack my ribs!

NOTORIOUS FOR JESUS
Last week, My husband and I were working in our garden in the afternoon and as we cleared the weeds near the wall, I noticed a movement from one of the open holes that had not yet been cemented.
To my shock, a snake slowly emerged from the opening. For a brief moment, we both froze and watched it carefully. The snake seemed just as startled as we were. Within seconds, it slipped back into the hole and disappeared.
Even though it was gone, the thought of it hiding inside our wall made us uneasy. We could not stop imagining where it might reappear next.
The experience completely changed how I felt about houses that are not cemented or unfinished openings. The minor construction detail suddenly became a serious concern.
We discussed the situation and agreed that something had to be done. Neither of us wanted to risk another encounter, especially because of the safety of our children.
The following day, we gathered the materials needed to seal the opening. We carefully cemented the hole ourselves and checked for any other gaps . I felt so relieved knowing that the snake no longer had access through the wall. Since then, we have been more vigilant about home maintenance.
The garden feels safer now, and we can work there without constantly worrying about reptiles of any kind, hiding in the walls.

WEIRD FACTS
--- Don’t ruin today by worrying about yesterday’s problem.
--- Travel. As much as you can. As far as you can. As long as you can. Life’s not meant to be lived in one place.
---- In life, you'll realize that there is a purpose for every person you meet. Some will teach you, and some will bring out the best in you.
--- The harder you work for something, the greater you'll feel when you achieve it.
--- Your body craves sugary, salty and fatty foods when you're under a lot of stress.
*****************
LET THAT BRIDGE BURNSome bridges are beautiful when they burn. There's a calmness that takes over when you know you can no longer go back.
When you have decided. When you have healed.
There's a settled peace that comes when you have lost your appetite for things that used to pull you backwards. When you know you have changed.
People may say you have changed but you know you've dropped the chains.
Only remember that what once bound you will come again to try and bribe you. The life you escaped will sometimes cross your path.
Keep in mind that even if you went back you wouldn't fit there anymore
Some chapters have closed and you're no longer the same person.
Build your new life until the old one is completely obsolete.

The rain this morning was something else...but I enjoyed it anyways...
ReplyDeleteTeachers Life I can tell for some persons have come in contact with concerning this payment stuff especially as they knew the owners/proprietress had the money but said it was for school building and then decided to owe them for 2 months, recently she said what she does is to ask for her salary upfront just in case she sees a better job she can leave knowing she's not being owned.. seriously it's not easy for salary earner's,but sincerely hope for the best for teachers all over .. God help us all o
Good afternoon my people, how are y'all doing?
ReplyDeleteI welcome you all to a week of testimonies.
WE MOVE!!
Good afternoon my good people of SDK blog. Welcome IHN. It's a very cool day over here.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking of opening an Opay account. I read the previous post.
ReplyDeleteI can as well open in the three sef.
But do they have a physical office in Lagos?
👀
Abeg, I am old-school. I was see where my money dey enter.
Opay is good, though I am yet to use others of its kind. I was cajoled into opening it some months ago and I must confess I am enjoying it, Transactions are always very smooth. You can open but not make it your main account.
DeleteFrom the month OPAY launched many years back in Nigeria;I have been with them till this day..
DeleteI started with them just because of convenience for my customers(Have a POS business in my Gadget store,so it was easier to confirm payment).
If you understand that feeling of being heart broken and later finding true love just like in the movies;that’s how my transactions has been and still going(I have other traditional banks but prefer and use OPAY for my day to day activities in business)
God abeg😁
Other traditional banks in Nigeria just can’t relate with giving customers this kinda peace.
To open an Opay account and move it up to Tier 3(this level allows you move up to 5m and more) you need:
a)OPAY App(Download from Playstore or AppStore)
b)Proof of address
c)Bill payment to confirm address above(Dustbin or other utility bill which confirms your address above )
d) NIN/BVN
With the app,you do everything yourself;takes less than 10 mins.
NB: Please use solely for daily transactions;Fix your life savings there at your own risk🙏🙏
Hope this helps..
@MARTINS
Opay is reliable o and good for everyday simple purchases.
DeleteThey have a physical office here in kd but I don't know if they have in Lagos. On a second thought, if they can open a physical office in Kaduna which means they definitely have in Lagos.
DeleteGOOD AFTERNOON MY SDK FAMILY 🌹
ReplyDeleteWhat a sunny day ☀️
Good afternoon great people of SDKsphere.
ReplyDelete"Travel. As much as you can. As far as you can. As long as you can. Life’s not meant to be lived in one place."
Thank God I traveled when there was still a country called Nigeria,
I've had the pleasure of visiting Lagos, Ogun, Cross River, Rivers, Delta, Bayelsa, Abia, Imo, Benue, Nasarawa, FCT, Akwa Ibom, Kogi, Enugu, Nigeria.
I don't enjoy traveling anymore due to insecurity, cost of transportation and work schedule
You're a true Nigerian 🙌😊
DeleteThank you Adunni
DeleteHello beautiful people
ReplyDeleteI have been sleeping since Morning 🌞
Our pupils did not come to school and the school owner refuse to release us
God have mercy on us
You go say you no go work today? All join.
DeleteMy dear, please sleep even the weather calls for sleep. I have been sleeping here too.
DeleteWe are not alone. 😊
Nice weather in Gidi today. 😊
ReplyDeleteI write a column here and I enjoy it. It's a privilege sef to have your article published on a platform like this. You need to see how excited I get whenever I see my article here, it has even helped me in my writing skills. Initially I was scared, especially on getting material and stories to write on but I have increased my amebo level to know what is happening and I listen to every conversation to get my story.
ReplyDeleteGod bless you maami jare. You're doing a wonderful job
The above anon said he or she needed money. You are doing yours for fun, he or she needs money. Everyone is not the same.
DeleteThe person above said they need money, they replied Stella on the post where it was posted.
DeleteGod bless you!
DeleteTo even see my comments posted, there's a sweet feeling 😊😁
I wish I have the strength to write columns.
Maybe I'll give it a try
Writing is a good mental exercise. Weldone dear 👍
DeleteDon't you have ID?
DeleteI remember Teejay when he started commenting before he got a column.
He has improved unlike before he was being attacked for gbagun.
Shaa no bi today Teejay stars dey collect
Sunny afternoon, good day fam.
ReplyDeleteOur career week kicks off today, two facilitators already done talking to the learners about cyber security and everything they need to know about usage of social media, the last facilitator is currently talking on medical field, and she's really doing justice to the topic.
More customers to you Adunni for your thoughtfulness.
Amen, thanks God's favours 🥰 May God favour you in all you do 👏
DeleteHello everyone
ReplyDeleteHow's the day going
My darling 😘
DeleteGreetings sis 💞
DeleteLols, there's this guy on my contacts that behaves exactly like Dante,I had to change his name from bro dare to abinuwaye sikiru 😂 he's always fighting unknown people on his status, always attacking women,very anyhow and broke person. Adagba je raufu, he's not married at over 50
ReplyDeleteDante is not broke, He's a young man living his life.
DeleteWhy gaslighting the fellow, if he responds now, you will attack him the more.
We can all drop our comments peacefully without fights and quarrels.
Hahahahaha 🤣 🤣 🤣 Abinuwaye Sikiru!
DeleteI should not have laffed like this. 🤣
DeleteI know your handwriting,why did you go anon @game??
DeleteAnon 14:47 are you the German boss lady on SM
DeleteAbinuwaye sikiru 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
DeleteI watched a documentary in YouTube on GLP-1 drugs recently. Those are the ozempic, mounjaro, zepbound etc etc trending drugs used for weight loss.
ReplyDeleteFor context, these drugs are not created for weight loss, they were developed for type 2 diabetes.
There were several interviews of people who had taken the drugs for weight loss, hmmm- all I can say is, if you value your liver and kidneys, just go to the gym.
Or walk for one I hour every day.
Yes it may take longer to lose weight but, in the long run, much much much safer.
Also for those planning veneers, go to YouTube and do research research research adverse effects, watch interviews of of people and their regrets, weigh the pros and cons for everything.
Make your decisions from a position of insight and not from peer or spousal pressure.
💡
Add people running to invest in the stock market without having any idea of the pros and cons,they just invest because an influencer says this stock gave me 23 million naira in the last six months.
DeleteNo due diligence,no research,no studies of anything;just weta ego wuba n’ime..
Please ooooo!! Research oooo
@MARTINS
The pressure for using mounjaro for weight loss no be here oooo
DeleteThank you for clear warning
@Anon 14:47,Respectfully, I don’t think it’s as simple as “just go to the gym.” Many people taking GLP-1 medications have already spent years trying diet and exercise alone. These medications are not right for everyone, but they are evidence based treatments that have helped many people improve their health. Research is important, but so is recognizing that different people face different medical realities.
DeleteHas anyone been to Senegal or Gambia here. I'm attending a wedding on Saturday!!!
ReplyDeletePlease what can I buy and bring to sell?
What should I look out for?
Currently I'm in Ghana though.
I want to use my leave very well before I return to work in July.
Ghana?
DeleteAnon pls is it true that Ghanaians are troubling Nigerians in Ghana and telling them to leave?
Let the bridge burn.
ReplyDeleteThe peace and calmness that comes afterwards is divine.
Sometimes it's hard to restore peace when the bridge burns to ashes.
DeleteHailings
ReplyDeletePrivate school owners have a special place in Hell.
ReplyDeleteOne pays his cleaners who double as messengers, nannies, assistant teachers(when any of the assistant teachers is absent), etc 25k per month.
He doesn't pay them until 15th to 17th day of the new month. If they miss work for a day due to sickness or anything, he deducts 1000 per day. I wonder what one can do with 25k salary these days. I just wish they can all plan and stay away from work and tell him to increase their salaries to like 70k or they go away for real.
It's better to learn a skill than that kind job.
DeleteChai this is broad day robbery.
DeleteSome people are wicked.
IHN
ReplyDeleteGood afternoon everyone 🥳
''Travel. As much as you can. As far as you can. As long as you can. Life’s not meant to be lived in one place.'' This quote sounds inspiring, but it doesn't fully reflect the reality of today's Nigeria. With the current security challenges, the freedom to travel as much as you can, as far as you can, and as long as you can is a privilege that many people no longer feel safe enough to enjoy.
Good afternoon everyone
ReplyDeleteHowz go dey go
Enjoy the rest of your day
I've been in the loo since morning.
ReplyDeleteYou see why I refuse to eat out??? 😭
Please any home remedies for loose stomach, like very loose😭😭😭?
I'm staying hydrated though , I don't know if it's making it worse.
Buy "LODUIM" the Nigerian version of immodium, it's a grey and green capsule, works like magic!..
DeleteKelvin Dat Edo Boi...
Eeeya, sorry about this. I chew dry bread when I have running stomach or take flagyl tablets.
DeletePls avoid milk or spicy foods now.
If you have raw pap, mix a thick paste and drink it. You can ask in your neighborhood and buy like #100 worth. I don't know how big it is where you are living. It will stop like magic. Them you can later go to chemist and buy red and yellow capsules plus flagyl or Imodium , the seller will tell you how to use it
DeleteDrink garri or raw pap,don't add suger.
DeleteThank you fam, I really appreciate.
DeleteI just woke up but a bit better.
Hello everyone
ReplyDeleteGood afternoon here 😍🥰
Stella Korks wetin happen to comments again bayii?
ReplyDeleteYou didn't warn us in your memo that it will be a slow work day for you and you won't enable comments on time.
🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
ReplyDelete@Stella, enable comments joor
Dante if you are reading,go to Spontaneous morning post and see how you lost a deal.
ReplyDeleteHe lost if he felt like it was a loss .
DeleteLeave Dante alone , I'm not in support of his utterances but leave the dude alone .
There are lessons to be learned but please leave him.
Who told you he did not see it? Someone that reads comments back to back. Pls stop mentioning. Enough already, before one his friends will come and insult the giver
DeleteDie this matter na,e never taya you??sebi he no dey comment for now ,so leave him the hell alone!!
DeleteGood afternoon,some school owners are really very inconsiderate,
ReplyDeleteAbout to rain here,rain please come
Good afternoon SDK and BVs.
ReplyDeleteGood day everyone.Stsy blessed.
ReplyDelete60milly for wedding and they owe staff members?
ReplyDeleteWhy am I even surprised, that's how one was owing I and 13 other teachers in 2012 and she was going on vacation to Dubai and Turkey.
She will wear that her strong bra that will push her boobis to her neck almost touching her chin, stand in front of us explaining rubbish expenses forgetting that we buy markers ourselves. Then go ahead to ask for her 40% from the small change we collect from private lessons.
Haaaa Mrs Eronmosele God will judge you with that your afro curly wig and receding hairline mtchwwwwww 😒
