Brother, my dream has always been to be a lecturer, most especially in my field of study. While in school, there was this innermost joy I usually derive when I tutor students and they grasp my explanations. I was moderately good in my course, I was among the top five best students in my class. So, my passion has always been to help people out academically either it comes with momentary benefit or not, while I was in school. It was that passion that made me delve into teaching not knowing its something totally different in contemporary Nigeria.

I'm teaching with M.Sc. in Political Science (Second Class Upper Division)

By next year, I don't want to have anything to do with teaching job again. If I'm to remain on it, I just need something to augment it.
Early this year, I nearly secured a lecturing job in one of the newly established private uni. but I missed it because I was not having a Msc. cert. So, I decided to apply for Msc program in IBB uni here in Niger and I was given admission. Unfortunately, they increased the fee astronomically which I could not afford. I immediately applied BUK and I was given also. Currently, screening has begun, I'm still struggling to raise money for it. This is because for the past two months we havnt been paid.

In the next five years, I see myself securing a better job in the academic sector after obtaining my MSc. Certificate and also owning a world class barbing saloon shop if I succeed in perfecting my barbing skill which I started acquiring and stopped 3 years ago.

As a human, you are facing the usual challenges...Your ability to conquer it,is the big win for you.

Good you are breaking away from the setback of working like elephant and eating peanuts.

Be focused with the barbing skill and make sure you pursue your masters as well.

Achieve the two, and 5yrs after now will be a story you will tell and laugh at the days of serious challenges.

Set targets for yourself..And follow the pattern with all passion and zeal.

Also, check other little things you can do to make cash no matter how small within your environments..Is their something they lack, you can buy from other places and resell, no matter how small the gain u make...Every 10naira counts.

Challenge yourself bro..13k a month is extremely poverty to be honest.

mariahAngel:
Ehen na!

I had quite a number of them who addressed me as such when I was a little girl.
They mostly make you feel more special than the other kids.
Little girls love attention.

You didn't have those that addresses you as nwunye nwa m..

It is normal atimes to be addressed as such, but becomes a problem when they start coming closer to touch and carry the little girl.

It cuts across both genders sha...many guys were violated while growing up...I know this for sure.

mariahAngel:
It always starts with my wife. That is how agbayas slowly penetrate the minds of innocent pretty little girls.

So i macha way ha...

Serious grilling with all the necessary yamayama plastered on it and chilled bottles of beer (mortuary standard)

jojothaiv:

Lol...for sure...

With all this resident doctors strike every time...I am still trying to figure out between ASUU and Doctors who run strike pass for this country..

Crazy place to be born as human.

I read on nairaland about a man asking for advice. He is having an issue with his fiancee. He teaches in a private school (British standard) that pays close to 200k, then he got a lecturing job in a private uni that will pay about 110k. Babe wants him to quit the teaching job because she wan answer lecturer wife.

In this case he weighs the options while factoring where he wants to be in 5yrs time.

People tends to ignore that critical question of where do you see yourself in 5yrs time.

In this man's shoe, All he needed is upgrade his certificate and make a move to a federal government owned university or state..From their he can work and pray as luck favours him to the top.


It is not advisable to jump out to satisfy his babe or wife's selfish interest...This is his means of livelihood and not a babe or boo bedroom yarns.

SavageResponse:
Probably a comedy skit

Same thought...Wind screen na 30-40k

Case closed...


These guys do anything for publicity.

I worked as a teacher for about 2yrs as an ICT teacher in a school where the students pay above 550k per term yet my take home for the first 6months was 47,500 after 6months it was increased to 51,500 then after 18 months it was increased to 61,500.

I was spending N240 on Tfair alone and for food I spend roughly N400 for morning alone...
Once pay comes, my mom gets 10k from the money, other bills take and I struggled to save 20k monthly.

Fast forward to 2020 when covid came we resulted to online classes and that gave me time to use the night and prepare lesson for all the classes during the day I go out to hustle, when it is time for my class I drop the prepared videos and everything for the students to watch/listen to and ask questions.

Covid was an eye opener... I was hustling like a school dropout under sun and rain, my skin color change from yellow to chocolate but I was making sometimes above 80k a week.

To cut the long story short, in less than a year, I bought a land worth 1.5m in Ibeju lekki, I got a descent accommodation, I place my mom on weekly stipends of 7k, my girlfriend who believed in me gets 5k weekly in school, I got a car for uber biz and will be getting another one next year and process visa for my younger bro too next year.

All these gotten in less than 2yrs after quitting my teaching job. The same school now i am their ICT consultant and they are like bro u dey fat ooo, u dey look good ooo e be like the street favours u.

Some of the teachers have stayed there for more than 15yrs and struggling but too scared to leave... There was a time one of my student the granddaughter of an influential lady in Nigeria (name withheld) told me... Sir, you are a fine and intelligent teacher but you do not have a bright future because you are a teacher, the whole class said "yes"

I went back to my desk (the ict lab) and was lost in thought, I couldn't sleep all through the week thinking of what that girl said


So, that's my story, the man didnt lie... Sometimes we look at those who get dirty while hustling and we think we are better than them.

I am still hustling and looking dirty, sometimes those so called officer workers come to buy what I sell and they try to talk to me anyhow thinking they are better or I am an illiterate because they are in the office taking AC and putting on suit. There was a time I blast a lady who was going overboard with her utterances, I made her to understand that I have worked in office settings, my lab alone had very chilling AC with 24/7 internet and if I should present my certificate from primary to university she will understand the kind of student that I was. She left with her tail between her legs

I love this...People are scared of making a move even when earnings can meet up with needs.

Funny thing is that lady that made such utterance might be earning below 50k but packaged in an office setting...And feeling on top of the world.

Until, one learn to drop the certificate and hustle like a drop out, it will always be a case of lamentations.

They don't use salary for doings...It cannever be enough.

meditator:
I'm currently earning 13K in one private school here in Minna. It is getting close to two months now that they last paid us. I'm depressed as I'm typing this. I have been think seriously on how to leave this slavery.

What they pay does not take care of one's primary needs and there's no prospect...

Nawa o.

Now lets start from, aside teaching what do you have passion for?

What grade are you using to teach?

What are your plans from now till 5years time?.

Stankovic22:
Look at how u said it, it is easier to perform all these with mouth but the road is not as smooth as u think

One thing I learnt as well is that lazy people have their excuse on their finger tips plus sharpest mouth.

hollah123:
bro like seriously it's not their fault
I once had a cousin who worked in a private school for 2 years n he had nothing to show for it despite not drinking,not womanising,no girlfriend n even oweing many loan apps that they do send annoying messages to our phone.

My brother called him to discuss the way forward n we realised he was earning 25k monthly with transport fare of 300 naira per day n compulsory lesson till 5pm n at the end of the term the school will give them 10k as lesson money.

By d time he gets home by 6pm he will b tired n exhausted n d next thing is to start planning for the next day work n in all these once u miss school for a day maybe for interview elsewhere or anything it's 1k deduction.

So bro in this case which option does he have?

At the end of the day everyone gathered fund for him to.start something small n he's kinda fine now from how he use to b

Bro it's not a matter of settling for peanut but many don't have d opportunity to do better n nobody to help

One thing I av learnt from such people is that, they take the easy way.

See the logic there...25k...

On annual it 300k.

Now, having a business worth 300k and having a return of a certain percentage out of it every month is the the entrepreneur mind in that person.

Having done that, after one year, definitely business must have Improved..He can decide to inject extra 150k in the business to increase the monthly returns a bit.

Now, his worth is around 500k...With a monthly returns.

As year progresses he keeps growing provided he knows what he is doing.

As years pass by, he is now employing one or two person to assist.

But on that 35k income, even if he get promoted to pick 80k in 5years time, with a mentality of monthly salary earner...He will have little or nothing to account for.

The moment you have something you are managing as yours, it comes with bigger responsibility and more effort.

That kind of teaching should be a starting stuff, and one should have other things to help augment while pushing for a better life.

As man, that type is cool if he is holding on while furthering his studies...

If not, it is for married women to help pass time and assist their husbands in their own little way.

akaahs:
As a site engineer, I was calculating how much I dey pay Mason everyday (4k). I realise they even collect more than I do. D thing come shocked me oo.

After handling a job, the mason I paid, look me finish say Oga you don chop o...

I read meaning into it and realised he meant if I could hire him for the time frame on 4k any day he worked, he made much to imagine how much I that paid him made...lol

Poor planning and poor investment is the only challenge these artisans face.

But with an enterprising wife, they make a fortune from their hustle.

obonujoker:
Teaching is for women whom their husband don't want to go far to work, but must still leave the home to get busy..

A man cannot be serious and wants to train a family with teaching....

Exactly bro.
While the man is fully business minded and other side hustles.

And as the family grows, the hubby sponsors her to acquire more knowledge/certificate to enable her switch to higher institutions as a proper lecturer.

Life is not too hard if one meets the right person and good plans.

hollah123:
how many schools offer 45k?
If only u know many collect as low as 25k

Even 12k and 10k monthly...lmao


Nawa o..Some people enjoy to settle for peanuts..Very disheartening.

dawnomike:
Bricklayers (Masons) make steady income provided they get sites to work on... The problem wit most of them is lack or planning and savings.

Even Mechanics and generally artisans make more money than most monthly income civil servants.

Some will prefer white collar jobs with peanuts rather than having their own business to provide goods and services.

Even, our country is so stereotyped to extent, some young ladies don't take a younger man serious if he is not working under monthly payment in an establishment..

Even outside the country, Artisans earn a lot...Our brothers that go in search of greener pastures overseas, still push it with these works we don't regard here....It guarantees those per hour earnings.

E-Urchins will avoid this thread as usual..

Helinues, sarki, the akpa-amu grill and co..

They are masturbating on SE threads.

Don't worry e go reach everybody.

Mood when I press the right button...

Life is Good.

You are adding salt to Injury.

The foolish ass licker is disappointed to see a fresh looking Nnamdi Kanu appear today...

If you like write all the whole epistles and use all the meme in your phone gallery, it doesn't hide the fact you are in pains.

Wait! Who's she again?

Well we broke guys don't know her actually so no lele we move

Don't call yourself broke man...A lot can happen by spoken words.

As for the lady she is being a normal woman, greater percentages of them want comfort.

Just few are going to be there for you even with nothing..And that few is a rare case..Any man that finds one of those few is a king/champion.

Most great men didn't meet their wives after becoming great, Some how their wives were there on the journey of greatness.

Take it or leave, this guy Nnamdi is a Legend...

History will never forget him as far earth exist.

Get it or die trying.

Economic activities in the mud.

BKsoul:

Useless man..mstchwww

EzeAro:
I mean you could argue Nnamdi Kanu was wrong on every other thing, but definitely not this one... because Buhari is actually an idiot with the lowest type of IQ for that matter.

Hahahahaha..

BKayy:
This man is a fashionista.
He has that Charisma and boldness that most (if not all) contemporary Nigerian musicians lack.
A natural entertainer.
I pity those that were not opportuned to witness him in his prime.

BTW, he is officially/legally older than Tinubu

Tinubu = 69 years
Charly Boy = 71 years

As in eeh...Their is this song of his "akula" or so..

Very funny and energetic.

Tinubu is a case of political deception and age falsification.

Old grandpa claiming 69.
