Consolation thread.

You left an internally funded private model school to become a PA to a Supervisory Councillor in a Local Government.
Not even a local government, an LCDA. Not even PA to the Chairman, but to a Supervisor.

Well, each to his own

3. Due to the position (PA to a LCDA supervisor) that you were, you had the opportunity to create "connections" for yourself which also brought you to this stage.

Why don't you go to lower states like Ekiti state when you resigned? Your suffering go long pass John in the wilderness. undecided

You left an internationally funded private model school to become a PA to a Supervisory Councillor in a Local Government. Now, you're back to the classroom in a Government school?

I think progress is dependent on your destination. If you desire to go backwards, any backward movement is progress to you.


He resigned to contest for election in the local government as a councillor and possibly be given a juicy supervisory councillor role eg works, Infrastructure, environment, market etc.

By the time Jagaban brought his own candidates, it destabilized the op calculation. Most the candidates Jagaban brought in were not even resident in the LCDA or local government area.

The PA to the councillor which was given to the op, was to compensate him for his job loss via resignation and the political miscalculation caused by power that be in the party.

Similar things happened to some people I know.

Thank God op now has a job, but you can't compare the training, exposure, skills development workers are given in real international schools in Lagos with what is obtainable in public schools.

Re: What I Learnt From Leaving My Teaching Job by Nobody: 3:04pm On Sep 30, 2017
Kazrem:
In Dec 2013, I voluntarily resigned as a classroom teacher. Then, I taught in one of the best schools in Epe. If you are familiar with my area, you would know there are schools and there are schools. This particular school is owned by a large international organization. Many of my friends questioned my decision to resign from a school that pays not only well but also regularly. A school where many people envy you once you tell them you teach in XYZ Model College. It was unreasonable to them. To tell you how unreasonable it was, I enjoyed free school bus ride to and from school, I get salary increment up to one-fourth of my salary every January. Every December, we get an end of the year package no matter how small. What again? I had a better teaching environment: electricity throughout school hour, access to the computer and many other perks. And guess what I resigned to? P.A. Personal Assistant. Not to the Governor of Senior Special Adviser (as we do have in Nigeria where an SSA also has a personal assistant, who also has a personal assistant). I resigned to work as P.A to the Supervisor, Budget and Planning of a particular LCDA. For the unknowns, LCDA is the second fiddle to a local government.

So you see it was crazy of me to do that. But I had my reasons. I knew at that point that I was still coming back to the classroom ( I now teach JSS 1-3 Mathematics in a government-owned school). But at that point in my life, there was some important life skills I needed and the job I retired to offered me the opportunity to have them. Suffice to say that within the space of one year that I worked as P.A. to the supervisor, I learnt first-hand public speaking from him and glad to say that today, even if small, I earn as a public speaker. In the space of that one year, I had free training worth over N500,000! Yes. What about the education and experience that comes with traveling? Remember it is said that traveling is part of education and you could learn in one travel what you could not learn in 1 year. I went to places I had never been before. What about meeting people? Wow! I met people and more importantly, heard them talk and most importantly, learned from their engagement. This alone was priceless. What about one-on-one mentoring? The honorable automatically became my mentor and he monitored (and still monitors) my progress in life, academics et cetera. Little wonder, I gave him the singular honor to write the foreword of my first and Amazon Bestselling book, Write To Stardom. And one more thing. I still earned at the end of each month.

To people who were not in my shoe, they couldn’t understand why I chose to resign then but I did and glad today that I did.

I am not talking of the average private school, but the international private schools with good incentives, eg training abroad, medical benefits, house ownership scheme, pension etc.

If you hope to own your school someday, the best bet is to get training and exposure from a standard private school.

The average retired civil servants do not possess the skills, tools and most especially the attitude needed to succeed in their own personal businesses.

You made complete wrong and defeatist deductions from the life story.

Life is a summation of choices. As you make those choices, OPPORTUNITIES in the garments of LUCK and DIFFICULTIES will characterise your choices.

It's up to you, to maximize your luck or squander it. You can also breakdown and moan your difficulties, or stand up to them and triumph.

Entitlement mentality, is a disgusting excuse for failure.

Sometimes only a decision maker can truly understand his/her reason for making a decision. Everyone has their passion to catch. To some people it isnt the money that matters to them, but doing what they love is what they long for. It isnt all about money sometimes-but most times its about the money. So sometimes if you want more of that money, you've got to lose some money for a bigger money. Its share a very similar principle with the business world. OP i see nothing wrong in your decision. you are a man, and you are responsible for every step you take in your life. All the BEST!
