Wow, people like her renew my faith in humanity and Nigerians. There are good and selfless people even though they many not be as many as we wish. Please we should let this inspire and challenge us to find a way to do our own good deeds. Even if it's just 1k, there is always a way one can contribute towards our society. God bless her |

[quote author=Emmysteve post=26874103]A teacher, Mrs. Ayoade Opeogun, who renovated her classroom at Methodist Nursery and Primary school, Abeokuta, Ogun State, speaks with MOTUNRAYO JOEL about what motivated her action Please introduce yourself. My name is Ayoade Opeogun and I have five children. I was trained as a nursery and primary school teacher at Olabisi Onabanjo University; I graduated in 2003. I teach Nursery Two pupils at Methodist Nursery and Primary School. When did you join your current school? I was transferred to the school in 2011. I was previously at St. Johnson Primary School, Kuto, Abeokuta in Ogun State. How many pupils do you have in your class? I have about 36 pupils. When you were transferred to the school, what were the things you noticed? When I joined the school, I noticed that it was not conducive to learning. The buildings were dilapidated; the floor in the classrooms had potholes, even the classroom’s ceiling was off. It wasn’t a classroom to teach children. I complained to the school management that I couldn’t teach in such an environment and they said I should do whatever I felt had to do. That was when I decided to renovate the classroom. What did you do? I got a bricklayer to re-plaster the floor, then I fixed the ceiling and roof. I repainted the walls inside and outside and I decorated them with educational nursery images and symbols. I also equipped the classroom with teaching and learning aids such as television, DVD and picture chats. I also brought in a standing fan and window blind. There was no electricity in the class; so I went to the Power Holding Company of Nigeria and pleaded with the workers there to install electricity in the class which they did. I did other minor things in the classroom. At the end of the day, I spent about N400, 000. Did the school management make a complaint about the state of the school to the government? They did complain, but I believe the state government is doing its best to renovate all public schools. But if a teacher is teaching in a classroom that isn’t conducive, the teacher should do what is necessary, even if it means spending his or her money. If we have to wait till the government is ready to renovate our classrooms, pupils will be the ones to suffer. What motivated you to spend so much? My love for my pupils motivated me. I couldn’t stand seeing them learning in such an environment. When I started renovating the class, I started little by little; I never thought I would go that far. I spent 11 months salaries to renovate the classroom. Each month, after collecting my salary, I would remove a certain amount to renovate the class. Later when I finished, I told the State Universal Basic Education Board that I wanted to dedicate the class in memory of my mother and they allowed me. My mother solely funded my education; I lost my father at a tender age. If not because of her, I won’t be where I am today. The children are enjoying the classroom now. They are so happy and eager to learn, I noticed that their grades improved greatly after the renovation. They are so enthusiastic to learn. How did the school react? At first when I started, I got discouraged by teachers, they kept giving me reasons why I shouldn’t renovate the class, but I stood my ground and followed my heart. I made up my mind to do it. When it became a reality, they now realised the importance of all what I did. The school authorities were happy about it. I wanted the classroom to be like the ones I see in private schools. Even the pupils’ parents expressed happiness. People didn’t expect me to do what I did, I was happy that I made a difference in the lives of the pupils. How did the government react? I don’t know. I’m not aware if SUBEB informed the government or not. What else do you plan to do in your classroom? I’m planning to buy a two and a half mattress, chairs and tables for the pupils. Now, we have wooden benches in the classroom. I hope to have bought all these things before resumption. Didn’t the money you spent drain your purse? No, maybe because all my children except one are grown up thus I don’t have many responsibilities. Did you get help from any individual or corporate organisation? Wow, dats best gift one can give to d less privilege, God almighty wil reward her if dey wont select her 4 national honours, bless her husband, children n her extended, amen |

Decryptor:Dumbass, did you read at all? Your critic sensory neurons got accidentally activated once you saw OGUN state. The woman confessed that Amosun is doing a lot of renovations same time. Benue State government that is reducing worker's salary is also from APC? Unstable electricity, zero employment, and low level of security is also caused by APC? That name is your headache, you'd better take your drugs. |
