We had a further maths teacher back then in ss1, we were treating logic at the time, and there was a particular example he always used to give, which was ' oh mansa musa you are wonderful', and he says it with a gayish voice, his mannerisms were femine also. From that time on his name became mansa musa.

My maths teacher, Ghanaian, Mr Kofi Abasi, 'mean as ever' was nicknamed "STARS" because he he would always insert his right hand under his shirt, coming out at the neck to scratch his bristlly unshaven beard & then say, 'if i slap u u'll see stars'.
The funny thing was, the statement was not directed at any of us inparticular, intermitently he'd carry out his threat & descend on every one in class, he was always right because after the class we'd gather round to describe the type of stars we saw. ALL BOYS SCHL!

Everybody denied calling him d name and d new student was purnished for giving d teach dat name.

We call our chem teacher "A SS like whoa" (guy, this lady's hip is one to die for)
we call our yoruba teacher "tweakmelon"(this woman doesn't flog, but guy, you'll peel melon like crazy.

We call our fmaths teacher "ERUKU WOLE DE"

cos of his mean gaze. this man sabi flog die.
(whenever he's teaching a new topic, he'd unexpectedly ask questions from anyone and guy, if you know am).... Hmmmm, end of story....

At my school, we called our English teacher "Bianca", although I am not sure how the name came about but that was what we called her. One of our teachers had bold tribal marks on his face so we called him "Mr. 11, 11"
My brother-in-law said that at his school, they nicknamed their Bio. teacher "MR OBOLI", apparently, he had to drop his wife off at work every morning before coming to work (the wife was a nurse) so there was a day that the students put up a cartoon with a man in his shirt and tie pounding yam in a mortar with a baby strapped to his back while a woman dressed in a nurses uniform sat in the sofa reading newspaper. By that they meant that the man was a woman-wrapper and they put an inscription "ILOBO", Needless to say they got into serious trouble for that.
