I used to be a teacher until three weeks ago. My life as a teacher has been an amazing journey of self rediscovery and empowerment. It was also part of the key stages of my personal development and life goals growth. I didn't only teach, but I learnt as well.

While teaching my kids, I was also learning with them and from them. Yes, I did learn from them because one thing I discovered even deeper in my teaching job is how kids, being so young and so innocent at heart combined with their sweet natural unsuppressed, imaginative curious minds, can view things in ways most adults would ever not. Being around them rekindled an originally strong imaginative light and a beautiful sense of deeply natural observation that is always present in all of us as children but which we tend to outgrow and leave dormant when we grow older into our older teens, twenties and forties. Most adults today have lost their childlike wonder and innocent sense of belief that dreams can come through. Being around my kids as a teacher strongly reminded me of what exactly it is like to just believe and bask in the wonder of how truly beautiful the world around us is despite all its chaos and madness.

During my time as a teacher, I took the role of guardian for my kids, training and nurturing them to walk in the right path with regards to making their dreams a reality, supporting them along the way and telling them that they should never lose faith in the beauty of their dreams inspite of what the world tries to project as negative and impossible. I let them know that their million dreams can inspire them into worlds undiscovered and realms yet unknown.


Now, I wouldn't even lie to you or sugarcoat words. Sometimes, teaching can be the best job in the world and sometimes it's the worst job ever. Teaching is so very incredibly demanding.

I love my kids and I'll always remember them. From my very inquisitive Alberta, to video vixen Emmanuella and my peaceful Doris. I love them all. They are awesome!

Anyone can teach but to teach well and care for the people you’re teaching, you’ve got to be really determined and committed.


Teaching helped reshape key aspects of my life. I've learnt to be tolerant and accepting of most people, and that most people can benefit and learn when offered help and given the chance to try and make a difference. I also learnt perseverance. Teaching is like a religion, it changes your perception of life, mentally, psychologically and changes your view in general issues concerning our day to day activities as we learn everyday.



I enjoyed my work. Not that every day was uniformly pleasant, but on the whole, it was life changing. It boosted my confidence and made me very creative and much more actively imaginative. I had to be super imaginative and very creative in my teaching job. I had to develop my own style of teaching that would make me comfortable in my role as a teacher, and would make the children comfortable in their roles also as my students.



Though, I would say teaching is for those who enjoy being challenged and enjoy the company of children. Sometimes I can't help but feel when they leave their houses in the morning, their only intention is to frustrate my life rather than learn before closing. Lol.


I strongly recommend teaching for curious, intellectual, patient and creative people. You would learn loads and it'll make your experience as a teacher worthwhile. Because, Children can be great companions. I have had some engaging conversations and I'm always awed at the extent of where these little innocent minds wanders to. The sheer limitlessness of their thinking and imaginations blew me away oftentimes.


I like to listen to them and I always remind them that their voice matters, as great leaders of tomorrow. I love children, I love teaching. But in life, we've to move on when the time comes.

*Feeling nostalgic.*

How long have you been a teacher?

The best I have been to so far is Gombe State University, the precinct of that school is sparkling clean with well manicured hedges and flowers. UNN comes a second place, this is due to its large size and multi campus structure. Each campus has its unique beauty.

In 2014, I needed a job badly and I was in a church prayer service. I prayed on top of my voice, lo and behold, one woman behind me heard my prayer point and says my boy do you need job and I said yes.
The woman said I should bring my CV to church the following day and she employed me.

This just made me screamed, God is really faithful

The Nigerian Army said on Wednesday that it will conduct a special exercise tagged: “Ayem Akpatuma’’ – “Cat Race” to tackle recurring herdsmen/farmers clashes and criminal activities in Benue, Taraba, and four other states.

The other states are: Nasarawa, Kogi, Niger and Kaduna states.

The exercise, according to Maj.-Gen. David Ahmadu, the Chief of Training and Operations, will commence on February 15 and end on March 31.

Ahmadu, who briefed newsmen on the exercise, said it will address emerging security challenges within the 1 and 3 Divisions including Headquarters, Army Records, Guards Brigade and 707 Special Forces Brigade “Areas of Responsibility.’’

He said it will also aid civil authority to address those challenges.

“More so, Exercise Ayem Akpatuma has become more expedient due to upsurge in cases of armed banditry, kidnapping and cattle rustling in Kaduna and Niger States as well as other sundry crimes in Kogi State and herdsmen/farmers clashes and attacks on innocent members of our communities, particularly in Benue, Taraba and Nasarawa States by armed militias.

“These security challenges have continued unabatedly in these states despite the efforts by sister security agencies to curb them.

“The need for troops to be exercised, refreshed and to imbibe the requisite skills to cope with these emerging security challenges within the 1 and 3Divisions including Headquarters, Army Records, Guards Brigade and 707 Special Forces Brigade Areas of Responsibility in aid of civil authority, calls for this exercise,’’ Ahmadu said.

He said the exercise will be conducted in conjunction with other security agencies such as DSS, Police and the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps.

According to him, it will also afford the troops with the opportunity to effectively checkmate the dreadful activities of the marauding criminal militias perpetrating criminal acts in those states and their environs.

He said that the exercise was “conceptualised to dovetail into real time operations thereby fulfilling both training and operations objectives of sharpening operational skills of personnel.

“It will also provide an avenue to conduct operations against violent criminals when called upon,’’ he said.

The chief of training said that the exercise will be unique as “Step-Up Brigade Headquarters’’ would be established in Benue, Taraba, Kogi, Nasarawa, Kaduna and Niger States.

“Emphasis will be placed on raids, cordon-and-search operations, anti-kidnapping drills, road blocks, check points and show of force, as well as humanitarian activities such as medical outreach,’’ he added.

Ahmadu called on members of the public in the affected states not to panic as their security, safety and well being had been “deliberately factored in the planning of the exercise.’’

He also assured that troops taking part in the exercise be guided by the professional “Code of Conduct, Rules of Engagement and the respect for human rights.’’

He said that in case of complaints, the public could call the “Nigerian Army Short Code Information and Call Centre 193.’’

Also, the army spokesman, Brig.-Gen. Sani Usman provided additional numbers the public could call to lodge complaints or give use information: 1 Division, 07037545309, 3 Division, 07066009773, 08038918694, Headquarters, Army Records, Lokoja, 08039369404, 08038297329, Guards Brigade, 08037711185 and Special Forces Brigade, 09060006707 and 07084745444.
