You know what I hate about Nigeria schools? They charge parents excessively and pay teachers peanuts! Imagine paying Basic Tuition of N350,000 (they are other expenses- books, clubs etc) and you pay teachers N30,000 monthly. Its just wrong! Can't teachers do something?

We have teachers association or Union, right? Can't they protest to be paid fairly?

While I do understand these are private schools and the salaries are based on the proprietress or board of trustees discretion I still find it absurd! There should be a minimum wage for this. It shouldn't just be acceptable because "its my school and that's what I will pay". The impact of teachers CANNOT be underestimated.

What can be done?

Can we report ministry of education?
Do you know their handle or email? Please with it!

Thanks.
After my findings, I attribute the ordeal to government negligence of the sector. The nonchalance with which education is handled by the government is actually more chilling than the negative trend itself.
Let me digress a bit. Our contemporaries that studied law are not facing this same ordeal because there is no such negligence.
Some days back, I was at NBA conference to witness annual meeting of Lawyers. It was attended by who is who among them. I don't know what they discussed but it was sponsored by the FG. There's no such conference for teachers.
Now I have these solutions to proffer:
Firstly, the professional body called TRCN has not done alot. I want them to establish a task force that will be going into schools to chase out these charlatans who have come to take what rightly belongs to us. Such can be done by constituting bodies like SOSAN, and the rest of them to go into schools and ensure that subjects are handled by those that majored in it. What is an engineer doing in Secondary school? He has no business there. The list is endless. Microbiologists, Business Administration graduates, etc. all these don't have business in school. Today they are the one that predominate teaching. Even here they are the ones that have taken over...
Secondly, Private schools excesses should be looked into. They are the ones that have more unqualified teachers and yet they are boasting of doing it better.
Lastly, government negligence. This has given way to all these messes. I think education should be in the exclusive list.

They don't have a salary scale, your bargaining power and experience determines what you get paid, if you have house parenting experience but don't agree on anything less than 120k, if you don't have experience, you can consider 90k-100k.
I use to be a house parent there before I got married
Does same apply to teaching?

FamilyRe: A Man Has Every Right To Sleep With His Wife After Traditional Marriage by Mike4S: 11:01am On Jul 23, 2019
Rapmoney:
It is so ridiculous and shameful at the same time that in our society, people have become so religiously blind to the extent where our traditions no longer have the slightest of value, regard or relevance. It is this shameful disregard for customs and traditions that has made many Nigerians to have a picture of a day called 'wedding night'. It is usually expected that a man and his wife should make love only after the wedding ceremony. That night after the wedding is usually seen as the 'right time' for loving making to take place between the couple. This practice is a symbol of cultural slavery among Africans!

For those who claim to profess Christianity even more than the missionaries, the Early Church headed by Simon Peter concerned itself with leading people to salvation and not to ordain or organise marriages. All marriages recorded in the Holy Book were done or consummated traditionally, according to the customs of the people; including the one Jesus attended in Galilee! This should clearly show the 'religious zealots' that marriage is more of tradition than religion.

White wedding as the name implies is for white people. It has never been a religious way of joining a man and a woman together; it is the cultural and traditional marriage practice among westerners. After all, the Jewish people have their customary way of getting married. Why did the Europeans and Americans not copy them? Africans readily accept alien practice pushed down to them without any slight resistance even if such practice makes mockery of their customs and traditions.

If a mother sends one of her children to go and wash plates and when that child is done with the task, she sends another one to re-wash the plates, it means the work of the first child is not good enough. This is what Africans indirectly tell the westerners: 'Our marriage customs are not good enough; yours are better'.

A man has every right to sleep with his wife immediately after the bride price is paid and the traditional marriage rites are carried out. Same thing applies to the woman. Let us stop enslaving ourselves culturally. After traditional marriage, sex becomes a duty to be enjoyed and not a taboo!

We should learn from the Japanese, Chinese, Koreans and the entire Asian continent who have succeeded in preserving their culture. Between white wedding and traditional marriage, the former is the alien one and should be seen and treated as such.

It is already late in most schools. Some schools had already conducted their interview before now.
EducationThe Day NECO Conducted Already Done Exam by Mike4S(op):
The contemporaneous starting of exam was not adhered to. It was such that a centre will be finishing and another will be starting or even starting thirty minutes later. After I saw this, a pal of distrust covered the exam body which I once trusted.

Heretofore I never had a reason to criticise the exam body, but with this laxity, now I do. This has made reading to not be a non negotiable part of exam again. Just tell me how a slothful candidate that is sure of getting the right paper will read. We all know that such act will no doubt trigger a bonanza of duplicity of the paper using Internet. With the advent of Internet, syndicating exam papers that have no contemporaneous time is as easy as ABC.

Now the major thrust of writing this piece. It was on the day that candidates sat for Computer in a particular school. Guess what! the people policing the exam did not come. The candidates waited but to no avail. Having known the 'invigilators' for not arriving post haste, they endured it waiting as usual.

As the clock ticked past the stated time, the candidates became restive and started to shift in their seats, wondering if something had happened. Rumours began to swirl that the exam has been cancelled just as Economics was cancelled.

It was at this juncture that I put a call to a friend, who is also a teacher in another centre. Guess what! he confirmed that the exam has been written several hours ago. On that day, the supervisor spent an inordinate portion of time receiving vehement calls from the numerous school teachers that had their candidates writing in the centre.

The next day, the vehement calls paid and the unthinkable happened. Guess what! NECO conducted the same exam that was written the previous day. The only difference was that the exam candidates were instructed to backdate their date.

Oddly, the exam went on like a supplementary election. I used to attribute most of the blames to the candidates. Heretofore, I thought it to be a huge double standard that candidates alone are taking the blames of falling education standard in Nigeria and the exam bodies are exempted.

They executed a solecism of protocol which I wouldn't have believed if anybody told me. The rationale for the contemporaneous starting of exam is to prevent exam malpractice. Unfortunately NECO laxity has made it very easy for slothful candidates to embrace cheating during exam.

Although I can be a little distrustful at time, I believe some candidates cheated because of this laxity. I used to know exam as an impetus to be prepared to burn midnight oil. Today some slothful candidates cannot read again because of such things like this.

EducationA Call For NECO To Wake Up From Slumber by Mike4S(op): 11:13am On Jun 29, 2019
On Thursday, NECO cancelled Economics exam nationwide. Candidates who were not informed went as usual to their centres to hear the shocking news.
As an educationist that does not tolerate exam malpractice, I hailed the idea.
Just yesterday, something happened that made me to withdraw my former praise to the exam body. Guess what! an examiner came late a type some centres had already rounded off theirs.
Just tell me how some slothful candidates cannot cheat if NECO does not make their exams contemporaneous like JAMB. The teacher that I called to know what was going on, even went ahead to convince me to get some forwarded copies of the questions which I rejected.
The thrust of this piece is for NECO to wake up from and stop engaging in an act that will embolden exam malpractice. Our education is too dear for us to toy with.
PoliticsRe: Prof Awuzie: Why Tinubu’s Billions Can’t Help Him To Be President In 2023 by Mike4S: 5:01pm On Jun 23, 2019
2022 that will be primary election year would be a time when the SW will unite with other southerners. They are allies with the Northerners today, but their friendship will turn to mistrust soon after the 2022 primary election will end.
Their friendship intermittent today, not for intimacy but for self-interest which will play in the aforementioned year.
Mark my verdict and quote me when the time comes. The once enemies in politics, SW, SS, and SE, would then move into a compromise that would allow them be allies.

Jobs/VacanciesRe: Strictly For Those Interested In Teaching Jobs by Mike4S:
Every move you make has a price. You did not major in education and you're into teaching, you will surely play second fiddle in the sector. I know of a school that a particular teacher has stayed twelve years and still counting for the sole reason that nobody needs his service.
He does not have his majors in education and has not also gone for PGDE. This has kept him that long there. He's not there because he's well paid neither he's happy but for the sole reason that most schools he had tried needed those that have majors in education.
It is almost thirteen years odyssey and yet he is yet to assume a leadership position in any department in that school. He has taught different subjects. Even with that his profile is not threatening or convincing employers of labour in schools.
Now his career is on decline. It is only mushroom schools that are ready to engage his service but on a very meagre salary whilst foisting him with workload.
Now the main thrust of this post is that the guy would have been teaching in a very big school now if he had come into teaching with the requisite knowledge and also having teachers' certificate.
I kept hearing people saying I can teach this and that. The bottom line is that you can only impress those proprietors who are foisting teachers with workloads.
Going by the National Policy on Education, No teacher is allowed to go beyond twenty periods in a week an average of at most four topics in a day.
Those of us that have encountered inspectors can attest to the fact that they have exploited many schools for defaulting in this workload of teachers

Yankee101:
How do kidnappers use pos and account transfers and still don't get caught?

Something fishy somewhere in the whole kidnap ecosystem

You can trace the owner of the account your money went to. Use a court order and force the banks to freeze the account, release the owners' details and use EFCC or DSS or soldiers to arrest the owner who will in turn reveal accomplices.

Don't use the police. Ion trust 'em.
I have thought of that for a long time and could not fathom it. How can money transferred to an account not be traced? The fact that nothing has been done in this case to frustrate the effort of those in this wicked act will remain a strong motivation for the perpetrators
