This is arguably the best biscuit in Nigeria presently. Everything about it just seem perfect, except that you'll hardly get satisfied with it coz you'll surely want to have more. It sells for fiftenn naira in my area, and I can't say how much I've spent on it already.
Have you tasted it? What do you think about it?

shamecurls:
You need help!

Your brain has been formatted!

Oga Ade, just mind your lane. Every individual with his/her own way of life. I've chosen this part, it pays me and I've never regretted.....whatever I chose to do is not your business.

Some pastors sef... I've learnt that God's blessings under this grade dispensation is not in anyway tied to whether we give our offering, tithe or anything. That was in then! I mean what did you pay God to get saved?!

Giving is however a character that every believer must have. Where some people are saying they can't give first salary or tithe to God, some people are giving 90% of their income to God.
Personally, I've vowed to give God half of my next salary..., not because anybody convinced me, its just my way of thanking God for providing me a job.

Another preacher said, if those under law ( law never profited them) could give ten percent, how much more do we think we should give God now that we've found grace?

God would bless me so much that I'll be able to give 30% to God.

And to the Lady.... She was never a part of God's sheep. But one of the pretending ones. How could you leave church cause of that. Doubt she knows what the Bible says about tithe, giving and all that.

Why note do the home lesson thing, it pays better with less stress.... with 4 to 5 kids you could earn up to a 100k and you'll have time to hunt for your dream job, my thought

Hmmmn, That's another long story....I tried that earlier this year, even went as far as getting banners around. Not a single call came in, but I discovered that it was when this buhari's regime began to eat deep into people's pockets.
Only if I can convince a couple of students in the school....hopefully the school schedule doesn't disturb.

lawnreigh:
The words seems harsh but its the reality, teaching is restrictive(working experience not useful in other sectors) and the pay is low, I was once a teacher before God rescued me coupled with unendless striving and hardwork to leave the job. People console themselves with been happy when you see yourself impacting lifes but the fact is that who doesn‘t want to grow big in life & career?? I prefer to be at the front sit in life and grow big than saying that trash. As for the Op start planning your exit from this moment on, enjoy it while it last and do all your best to get an alternative soon

Thanks...I never intend staying long in the class room by God's grace. But my question is....''how does one switch tothe main sstream jobs, knowing that teaching adds practically little to the skills, experiences needed outside there''. Gathering money to self sponsor a programme is another issue.
Can you please help with that....perhaps from your experience.

Na true o. Teachers are paid peanuts after staying 8.00am to 4pm. That is why u always see teachers vacancy every where. For me i teach per time french amd their is shortage of french teacher in nigeria accordin to my researche. D least i charge is #1500 for like 2hrs. Some 15k two times a week. Even my frien said is cheap. Am still hurstln to get higher pay. I hav 2 school calln me now. I graduate in unilag finance. They alway ask me can i teach other subject i will tell them NO. Na me una won use die.....though i spent thress year in Gabon

God bless you...
With what I've been through and seen, I've advised my younger sis who wants to study mass com to prepare herself for one foreign language....Spanish/German/French. That's one of the surest ways to stay afloat in this overcrowded labour market.

sisisioge:
Wow!

I almost took a job like this six years ago but the hungry look of the teachers and the attitude of the students dissuaded me. They were going to kill me with work plus I would type all the questions for all exams and all required correspondence... They wanted me to add Secretary to the job. Like that wasn't enough, I looked like most of the senior-class girls and so they were already giving me attitude. I just opt out...though na because I get choice.

If u could add extra classes(lesson) maybe you could get some more cash.

That's only when the school owner gives the go-ahead.

Nossa:
Chukwu Anozie is that you?

Lol...naaaaa. Its not him.

omoikea:
you have not answered my question ooo, i asked how u intend to start life with 20k


lets assume you are still living with ur parent, that money will still not be enough not to talk of living alone....

Lol...I didn't ans coz I really dont know yet. And still I have a very long way to go. I'm still with my parents, so there's surely room for savings. The only thing I'm thinking as of now is to have some savings, get a skill/handwork....then justle both together.
I believe I could start gathering enough to settle down by then.

Cybertext:
I understand your feeling because I've been in your shoes... But trust me there are some high profile schools that pay in 6digits but they won't employ you without experience and maybe PGD in edu... Build your CV and drop it around these schools... You'll be surprise when you get a call....

Gbam!

osarenmwienda:
let me ask the oracle

If I catch you ehnn!

dadebayo1:
My brother relax and enjoy the job... Sincerely you will eventually derive so much joy in impacting knowledge on students... The reward can not be quantified in terms of money... I am an education officer and I must confess I enjoy doing the job because of the feedback from students.... There is so much joy when you even meet students you taught who are now responsible men and women in the society.. Believe me some of my students are even on nairaland just look beyond the pay and enjoy it while it last.... All the best

Thanks sir!

DebbieSean:
Hmmm...it depends on the kind of environment and the students in your school. if their pay is on the high side, your salary will be high too but if it's the middle class that have children there, you should be thankful to get that oo, and in this recession too? Bro, just don't work hard alone but smartly too, you can learn well in the profession and who knows? You could start a tutorial centre like the guy who the guy who earns 90-110k monthly in his tutorial business.

I'm sure students pay about 25K for tuition alone....coz the students' suit alone costs 10K, and most of them are wearing it already....so its definitely not a small school.
As much as I like teaching, its not something I wanna do as a profession.
I'ld love to be in the field.

Jennystyle:
OP aren't you lucky, am a graduate with a second class lower, from one of the federal universities in the south, am a teacher, because I can't be idle at home, I handle pre nursery class ,children from a year plus to two years, the stress is not easy at all, little children, will cry, you will pet, you will sing, at the end of the month, my take home pay is less than #18,000 a month.......... just imagine. am still hoping on God for a better job, if the job is not forth coming, I may start business. it ain't easy, but manage the job you have, while looking for better opportunities. Because it's not easy sitting down at home, everyday doing nothing. Because an idle mind is the devil's workshop.

Wow!
What more can i say
All is well

beautiful232:
I won't even advice my enemy,that's if I have any to do teaching job


my question is....why pay teachers low salaries


meka why

Its simple...lack of jobs. Teaching is perhaps the only sure job you can get as a fresh grad. Since they know you have no other or very limited choice, they just take advantage of you.

omoikea:
that's way too low compared to the work load....

how u wan take start life with 20k

The work load is just damn too much. Unfortunately, you dare not complain. Haha! Did I mention lesson notes! O gosh!

Dbanj don get wife??

funnynation:
The work load is very heavy compare to the amount. In Abuja here, most schools pay very well and your work load will be less.. Divine Mercy in Asokoro.. Graduate 60k and above and you will take only one class..

Jesus!!! Just imagine!
I'm sure I'm not gonna stay long here.... If it doesn't improve soon, I'm moving on.

Cutehector:
People are doin serious manual labor and are earning peanuts, you are just imparting knowledge with voice and are complaining..

Ah! Manual labour bawo That's why I went to school in the first place, so that I dont end up a labourer. You only
Just need to know how much these school owners gain from students, and then compare it to what the main ''actors'' the teachers collect.

no mind police o! SARS are the ''political thugs'' of the police force. Ogas for top sef dey send them go kill person.
SARS people just be like militant wing of police. Them no well

.......so, I was tired of staying at home, and teaching was the only available job I could find after lots of efforts in getting a job through the likes of jobberman and co.

Believe me, if somebody prays for you that ''you'll be a teacher'', I'll rather advice you to pause and ask the person to ''explain'' the prayer, if after the explanation you agree to the terms, you can then say ''amen''.
I began this job this Monday, I'm teaching PHYSICS and MATHS for senior secondary, and COMPUTER for Junior secondary. I take at least six periods per day, and the pay is 20K.
Don't let's talk about the attitude of the owner of the school, that alone is a 20unit course!

with the little I've seen, I can say that majority of teachers are just managing.
I obviously know that there might be no ''easy'' job, but this particular one no be here o.
fellow teachers in here, how many courses and periods do you take, and whats your take home. I wanna know if this''job'' is ''okay'' .

finally, abeg..... I dey find JOB ooo!
I get upper credit, HND.

The ONLY thing we gain from higher institution today is EXPOSURE and NETWORK.
They simply impart ideas of 1970s into our heads, that's all.
After spending 4 years in school learning things your ancestors learnt, you'll now need to spend like two years to study what your mates around the world are currently studying.

One problem I have with Africans is that we're so power drunk and selfish. we'll all unite to fight for independence from the whites. Years down the line, we'll find it difficult to give independence to those under us who wish for it. As if that's not enough, when the independence is finally given, people within the new state/nation start fighting themselves again for power and superiority. I always thought south Sudan would be so peaceful.
One major problem of human race is greed and selfishness.
I can't just imagine wike and ameachi justling for the presidential seat of Biafra.

Congrant fellow IPOB. Gifted people!

This is the first time I'll be reacting to this tribal stuff on nairaland... The gentle man is there working his socks off to better his life and family, you're here claiming IPOB. You should be shamed of yourself. He even married a chinko! Even if they grant IPOB independence, I'm sure he's still not gonna return. Better try make your life better.

JuanDeDios:
Go with the lazy guy. Lazy guys rock. Besides, it's not easy to find half-Oyinbos these days. Since he's comfortable placing his hands between his legs while a woman picks his bills, I think he will transform into a hardworking person once he sets foot in America. He won't find another mugu girl there. He will send for you and you two will get married. You will hold hands and walk off into the sunset, into Happily-Ever-After where he will take good care of you.

Like they say, in every decision there are two choices: What is, and what you want; that is, what is good for you and what your emotions crave.

You look so familiar!
Is your name Sarcasm?

Hello Nairalanders, I'm a 100lvl Student in a University based in the North,I have suffered so much to get admission which I value so greatly...God so good I was given a course I grew to like, but the school unfortunately released our supplementary list about 4 months after the 1st list was released so I came only to find out exams was just few weeks away, I resumed late my parents had to sweat out my fees, I wrote all de exams but I didn't know anything in some my prerequisite... I studied hard but only for me to find a CGP of 1.65 last semester (with 3 CO's, one due to a not registered course) , I'm ready to work hard come this 200h lvl but my question is Should I restart 100 lvl or can I still graduate with a 2nd class upper that I seek despite this poor performance in 100lvl.

Thank you

Its like you copied my story!
I had lost hope on gaining admission coz I was pursuing a university, not knowing that I had gained admission into a polytechnic....it was utme, so we didn't write post jamb then. After all the running around for money, I resumed fully about three weeks to exam. I had no C.A, no attendance..... Only exam to fight with. Luckily I made 2.79 that semester. I ended up graduating with CGP of 3.07. It was only God's grace and some serious, serious, serious hard work!
Where there will, there is a way. Buckle up and study hard like you'll die if you fail.

I tell you!
I just resumed at this school yesterday as a teacher. School closed at 2:00pm....but owner said teachers wouldn't be allowed to leave until 4pm! I was what?!! 2pm to 4:30! We'll wait to do what!

Everybody arguing about when they'll pass out... I'm actually seeing a large number of people coming into the already large unemployed folks...especially in this harsh economic situation.
God would see them through.

Once had a colleague who sent in his cv to a recruitment agency for a job opening. Turned out a client of ours was the engagement company
My guy got shortlisted and when the MD saw the name, he forwarded his cv to my boss.
Mehn the ensuing drama was both sad and entertaining

Lol...that's sad. The MD didn't do well, only if he didn't know who your colleague was.
