Last Thursday, 15th October, I visited a private secondary school to apply for a job. On arriving, I met a male teacher and a male student fighting in the school premises. Suddenly, the school was turned into a frenzy. It didn't take long before the the parents of the male student arrived and there were exchange of curse words and threats. I waited patiently for the whole drama to end. When the atmosphere became calm, I approached the lady who had introduced herself as the principal during the course of the fight. I told her what I came for and she asked me to wait somewhere. After hours of waiting she asked me to drop my CV and return on Monday. Today I went there and I was asked to wait from 7:30am to 11am. When she finally came I was called to her office. She told me that her school doesnt need teachers at the moment and she won't be able to pay me. After a moment of negotiation, she told me that the best she can offer me is 7,000 naira per month. Then, she told me I would be taking Computer science, Physics and Biology from SS1 to SS3. When I got to the staffroom, I had to inquire from other teachers and I was told some earn even lesser salaries.
I used to think people were exaggerating it when they quoted teacher's earnings. A graduate earning less than Jamb registration fee.
Is this the future or is there another way out?

I weep for my country
