The teacher must be a greedy and covet type. What concern her to how much students are paying. What she would have done was that if that 55k is not okay for her, she should fuccck out of the sch abd stop making mountain out of molehill. She is ingrate and amuosu

She does have a right to complain. And she did get out.

Poor renumeration of staff is exploitation, that is if you can afford to pay better.

The prime reason for poor is down to the huge number of unemployed and underemployed in the market. Staff can quickly be replaced. It's am employers market.

If it was in a tight labour market, or one where sone skills are in high demand, they can be sure of good pay.

50 Cent, Pablo Schreiber and Ice Cube's son are part of a gang that want to rob a bank. Gerard Butler and his partner are cops on their tail. Butler eventually gets to Cube Jr and turns him to an informant.
50 and gang carry out the op but their gang dies in the resulting shoot out except for Cube Jr who it turns out was the real mastermind all along. He escapes to the UK with the loot and Gerard Butler was still looking for him at the end of the movie

Thank you, I remember now.

The creation of addition state is for SE to make it 6 like other zones and southeast politicians have already sponsored a bill in national assembly for that effect before Ned Nwoko pleaded that rather than creating a new state from the existing 5 SE states that it is better Anioma in created as the 6th SE state and since then they have been lobbying SE stakeholders to accept the arrangement.So if they do not want to join SE they should rest while a 6th state will be created within SE.No stress.

I disagree with you but it's fine sha. Those girls are just wild nothing else.

Atleast someone else can note above that Nelly's ass no longer fake.

Those girls just let those bandits body them in the house.

Strange northerners body southerners, Easterners for that matter, in their own show, for their own domot.

Nothing special about those bandits ass, they just loud, wild and bold with it that's all, something if Nelly/Onyeka do likewise will send those bandits into hiding.

It's no wonder Wanni yabbed Nelly's ass for no reason. That's nothing but beef!

Konquest:

@Ibechris,

First off, there are historical errors in your post right above and I will CLEARLY state the historical time lines for you and everyone reading this thread to make corrections. Chinua Achebe NEVER made the first ever film in Nigeria in 1958. You are confusing the year his 1958 book was published with the year 1971 when a film adaptation of his 1958 book was made. The Things Fall Apart film (produced in 1971) was his FIRST film produced by the Executive Producer, Francis Oladele and a German Director and other White folks and it was shot in Lagos and Ibadan. It was viewed in Nigeria for the FIRST time ever on July 31, 2021 (50 years later) when the lost films were found after the death of the German Director in 2015. In that 1971 film, the iconic Pa Orlando Martins (who is an indigene of Lagos Island and the FIRST ever Nigerian international movie star since 1935 in England and the FIRST Nigerian to act in any Hollywood movie alongside other great actors such as former President Ronald Reagan in 1949) acted the role of Obierika in that 1971 film adaptation of Things Fall Apart. Prior to that 1971 film, Kongi's Harvest which is a 1969 feature film adaptation of Professor Wole Soyinka's book by the same name of Kongi's Harvest became the FIRST ever Nigerian movie to be produced and directed fully by Nigerians and it was shown in 1969 at the cinemas in Lagos State and elsewhere. Francis Oladele was the Executive Producer of the high-quality film Kongi's Harvest which was he FIRST film he ever produced. Francis Oladele's SECOND ever film as the Executive Producer was that of Chinua Achebe.

Second, the annoying coinage Nollywood is a term that only coined around the year 2002 by an American journalist. It's actually a belittling word or coinage... More like a Hollywood wannabe or copycat.

What existed back then was simply the Nigerian movie industry and I still prefer to call it the Nigerian movie industry (both cinema celluloid era, home video, and the new wave of multiplex cinemas again) because that name "Nollywood" is an insult just like saying a Hollywood wannabe or copycat. This is the reason why the Indian movie industry practitioners STRONGLY detest the term "Bollywood." Unlike what Nigeria was doing in the past relying on home video sales from 1988 when SOSO EKUN the FIRST ever home video (a film packaged in VHS cassettes) was produced and screened simultaneously in the cinemas in Lagos in the Yoruba movie industry branch of the Nigerian movie industry and many more films on home videos were produced by Prince Alade Aromire from 1989, Prince Jide Kosolo and others right into the early 1990s and beyond, the Indians usually screened there movies at multiplex cinemas just like in the United States thereby curbing piracy.

Third, the film Palaver, otherwise known as Palaver: A Romance of Northern Nigeria, is a 1926 silent film shot in British Nigeria; it is recognized today as the FIRST Nigerian feature film. The British film which was written and directed by Geoffrey Barkas was shot among the Sura, Angas, Mangu and Berom people of Plateau and Bauchi in Northern Nigeria and was released on April 25, 1927. The film tells the story of a jealous British tin miner (Mark Fernandez) in Nigeria who with alcohol aroused the natives against his rival, Captain Allison, a British District Officer. Jean Stuart, a nursing sister, also added the theme of love to the film by getting emotionally struck between the rebelling duo.

In addition, Calpeny Nigeria Ltd which was established in 1965 by the iconic Francis Oladele spearheaded the production of the first wholly-produced Nigerian film – KONGI' HARVEST as the Executive Producer, based on a play written by Professor Wole Soyinka. That movie was screened at the cinemas in Lagos State in 1969. The movie director Tunde Kelani also said in a documentary that when he was younger, he went to the cinema in Lagos State to watch the screening of that first ever Nigerian film directed and produced by Nigerians unlike Palaver that had White British input in 1926. He said it was that 1969 movie Kongi's Harvest that inspired him to be a film producer and director.

The Rise of the Home Video Industry
This too was started by the Yoruba movie industry branch of the Nigerian film industry in 1988 with "Soso Ekun" which was the FIRST ever commercially-produced Nigerian home video for VHS and it was also screened at the National Theatre in Lagos. Prince Alade Aromire also followed suit with his home video subtitled in English in 1989. Prince Jide Kosolo and others also produced their own home videos right from the late 1980s right into the 1990s and beyond with the rise in the number of folks buying VHS players.


In 1992, the FIRST ever Ibo language home video that was subtitled in English was produced by Kenneth Nnebue who later became a pastor. In a 1997 ThisDay newspaper one-page article that I read (and I still have the copy), Kenneth Nnebue gave credit to the Yoruba and Indian movie industries for inspiring him. He also said he had worked with the actors and movie producers in the Yoruba language movie industry to market and distribute their home videos before 1992. He mentioned up to 20 home videos he knew offhand from the Yoruba movie industry and that was what triggered him to produce the film Living in Bondage which Kenneth Nnebue said he originally planned to do in the Yoruba language. When things didn't turn out as planned, he took a leap and tried the Igbo language but he used a foreign name (English ) for his home video title. The home video then went on to become popular because there was a ready market for Ibo language home videos subtitled in English after people had seen the popularity of the Yoruba language home videos from 1988 that were subtitled in English.

In rounding off, like I said earlier, NO word called "Nollywood" existed in the 1970s, 1980s, or 1990s right to the early 2000s. It's disgusting that some unimaginative people in the media and elsewhere just jumped right in and started to use a "belittling term" coined by an American journalist in 2002 when the Indians have long REJECTED the term "Bollywood" because they say they are NOT a caricature or copy cat of the Hollywood film industry. They are simply the Indian movie industry.

I hope that helps.

I duff my cap for you..... you've said it all!

That was just an example picked out of many stuff.

But bros., at 35k, e go hard.
Not only for the teacher, but also the school.
This is 2024, not the 70s when teachers had grounded solid fundamentals.
.

That still leaves the questions unanswered.

How does a teacher collecting 35k mean that they don't have the know-how to teach a student to pronounce "through" as "θru"?

Is teaching "θru" the only thing a child learns in school?
