Hmmm..., God has given me the grace to encounter great teachers who loved me and brought positive change to my life.

First to remember is Mr. Adeyeye of Anglican Grammar School, Ijare (my hometown). He rented an apartment from our house, I later got admission to the school where he taught Physical Education and he took me as his own son. I practically slept in his room and he trusted me with anything. Back then, nobody dare touched my among the student and teachers. "He's Adeyeye's son" they would say. We are still in touch (thank you soo much sir).

Then, I came to Lagos and enrolled at Festac Grammar School. A new principal was brought in; her name: Mrs. T.A. Bajulaiye. Whao! Without this woman, I would probably never have amounted to anything in life. When everybody saw nothing good in me, she saw something and took her time to help me discover myself. When there was no one to feed me, she would give me food. She loved me and took care of me just like her own child. Thank you so much ma, I will never forget all you did for me.

Note: Dear Nairalander, if there is anyone who knows how I can locate this principal of mine, please let me know. I have tried all I can to find her but I have not been able.

A couple of other teachers in Festac Grammar school joined the principal in helping me: Mrs. Campbell (vice-principal, academic), my straight forward and hard working Biology teacher, my English, and Mathematics teachers. God bless you all!!!

my mom, my teacher.... she's d reason I was inspired into studying an educational course....

That's cool.

So much indebted to my primary 5 teacher. We call him Baba,my agriculture science Mrs Olawoore and my able mentor economic teacher Mr Adeola . Anybody that attended Sharon Rose School in saki. Also wish my Mr beat hell,that's uncle soladoye. He almost thru me into cane addicted person,in which I will not go home with not being punished.
My mathematics teacher's (Oguntola, Hamzat n durojaiye) love you ppl. Thou I. Still hate math till now.

Emmykego:



Wow, that's my secondary school: Anglican Grammar School, Ubulu-Uku. Can't forget my history teacher: Mr. Abua, he made me fall in love with knowing what transpired years before. I owe much to Miss Oby, my General Paper teacher for believing in me, giving me 'liver'.



God bless my teachers!

You are on point bro. He taught me as well. It was actually a nice experience in that great school. I mr Idegwu too.

Oh!our great principal M.A Omolewu of OIGS,may his gentle soul rest in peace.Mr salawu aka yoyo our english Teacher.

quiinnBee:

see the way you're serious with it.

lol,just having fun na,tho some part of me is wishng I'm d cute teacher in question,only that I don't like teaching job.

I had many wonderful teachers. My teaching experience during service year made me appreciate my teachers more.
I can't forget my English teacher in SS2. He moved to my street and became friends with my Dad. This man thought the best day to come n discuss my terrible result with my parent was Christmas day. Sighting him in my house that evening made me remorse immediately. I heard the sermon of my life that day. I had to take extra lessons in almost all subjects the following term. Thankfully, my 2nd term result was a great improvement over the 1st. He came back to advice my dad I should drop the extra lessons. I didn't disappoint his trust that I could stay without the lessons. The 3rd term was really impressive. Unfortunately he died after marking our 3rd term exams.
It's been 11 years and I still carry that confidence that with God I can learn anything so well as long as I put my heart told it.

Hmm, mrs lawal takes it. My english n lit. teacher. Respect to u ma, still cant forget dose days with u in class. Happy teachers' day Ma

Bro, sure you schooled in naija?

[email] Yeah, but I didnt stay long in any of the sch I attended. [/email]

Government teacher Mr Martins. Always with his fan belt only inThe most notorious class in sad school D class don't know why I was always in D class right from primary school. everything about us gragra. Mr Martins will protest to vigilate our class on mathematics day. He Will say if I catch u exporizing I will bambooze you. He made us love government he is very patient and full of analysis

mr Ekeneme my mathematics teacher and mrs osakwe physics teacher. God bless u guys.. not forgetting mrs ijeoma everybody that attended fggc ikot ekpene can testify the wickedness of this woman... I rep fstc awka

What a wonderful thread!

I have to give that to Mimi(I don't know her real name), the proprietress of Ijamido Nur/pry school, oju-ore, ota. I was one of the pioneer pupils in 1984 God really used her to mould my life academically especially in dictations and spellings. In her honour, I will be organising a spelling bee competition to mark my next birthday. Wherever you are ma (I don't even know if she is still alive) may you continue to increase.

Next is Mr Fafunwa, our senior school Maths teacher then in AUD Comprehensive College, Ota, who made me fall in love with the subject again after Mr Babatunde of the junior school had done all within his power to make us hate the subject. Mr Fafunwa made maths easy.

Mr Lanke, Chemistry teacher then at Ore Community high school was also excellent. When there was no Physics teacher he also stepped on board to help. He encouraged me to be the best I can ever be. God bless you sir and your generations to come.

And to my parents, the greatest teachers on earth. Though illiterate yet highly educated. You shall live to eat the fruit of your labour.

I am a wolewole!

lots of love to all my teachers in iganmode nur and primary school and iganmode grammar school sango otta. All ur efforts made me what i am today. Thank you all and May God bless you.

Mallam Idris my Jss 3 (I owe my math knowledge to you)..

Mr OluSola my SS1 government teacher, though he died quite suddenly, I still recall the way he taught all the numerous 'isms' of government till it became clear even to dunces. . .

Mr Nwoke, further maths teacher... a simple joke of his 'welcome to the club' when I told him I had lost my dad was all I needed to smile and get over grief.. lol..

rest in peace to you all.. always in our hearts.

I remember with nostalgia my teacher in Aje Methodist primary school, Sabo Yaba, primary 4, Mr Tunde Ogundimu. He also taught me in pry 5. He was a young man then, a bachelor who was still in school himself. His love and care for children surpassed that of a nursing mother. He had this big bucket - like container that he uses to make tea. He will go round and serve everyone. He never eats anything alone still I am yet to see any teacher as strict as he was. He ran the class like a company, everyone has responsibilties and without prompting we did our tasks. Anywhere you are Uncle Tunde, as we used to address him, may you find the favour of God.

I also acknowledge Mr Olaleye, his strategy of streamlining helped me to be able to read till today. God bless our teachers.

he never did.he was that good

Mr Fowowe of read and write club. St. Mary Grammar School, Iwo Osun state. He encouraged me in my love for books and the school library. Thank you sir and God bless.

Amoo Mr

They are much, Mr Alex my economics teacher, my agricultural science and Mr Yusuf (maths teacher) who taught me for free of no charge during extra classes... My God reward you all

The Late Mr Femi Akinte.....AFSS, Ikeja. The one who would make you laugh so much that you would be out of breath while still teaching in such a way that you would understand. The world definitely misses you on days like this! Rest in Peace sir.

I appreciate all the teachers who have taught me to make me who I am today.I can't forget my Pry 3 form teacher,men! that lady is so caring.So painful that I can't recall her name.And to my Secondary School teachers,they all rock.
