The quote "A Teacher reward is in heaven"is a punchline for you to get exploited by capitalism the more.

In all humility, who the Bleep told you all teachers will make heaven if there's in fact one


If you're in your 20s, deep down you know you can't amount to anything with that job in this country.

Dr Dre once said legal money, illegal money, remember all money is the root of evil

Take risk, do that fraud, the times where decency in how you earn might get you something or somewhere great is gone.

Critically look at the options to make money legally in this country and compare it to the population, then you'll realise that everyone cannot succeed legally.


So that your friend that did fraud but you did not join him or her because you thought there's something better somewhere, better swallow your pride and go back to him or her if they're still in the country anyway and like you enough to forgive and teach you.


The concept of right or wrong is relative to the circumstances in your environment, everyone won't have first class or second class upper, so what should others do, kill themselves


Do what you have to do then go legit, a time might come in this country or the world where only those that have money would be afforded rights


Most people that did fraud(yahoo yahoo) and other affiliated schemes would go on to live a very fulfilled life, don't be shocked when their kids or they themselves employ you, the hardworking citizens. E.g your politicians.


Get off your moral horse or moral high ground and observe the times you're in then act accordingly because times have changed.

Like how much are govt teachers paid?
Monaboo:
Very soon, parents will end up teaching their kids at home by themselves because the well educated teachers are leaving the profession.

Why? Poor Renumeration. It's only in Nigeria that Secondary School teachers are paid N30K per month.

How do u want someone to survive on such a salary. School Owners will be paying such salary and be thinking they are doing you a favour.

I started teaching in 2009 with SSCE. I actually love teaching. Teaching is my calling. I started doing Students Broadsheet when I was just 8yrs old. I went to the University and bagged a B.Sc in Geography and Planning.

I was teaching Geography in a Private Secondary School in Lagos. Woke up one morning and said goodbye to teaching in Nigeria.

Teachers are not paid well. They are not treated well. School Owners use teachers anyhow. I used to teach the whole school. I taught Jss1 to JSS3 Agricultural Science and SS1 to SS3 Geography. You will write lesson note for all the classes and be tired. You will enter class and copy note on the blackboard till your whole hands pain you. You will shout on top of ur voice teaching till u have headache. Principal will still shout on you in presence on students. I suffered. All on top of rubbish salary wey no reach N25K.

People say "Teaching Is A Calling". I laugh grin

Becos it is calling that will pay the bills abi? angry

Even children now do not want to end up as teachers. Even u reading this would not want ur child to end up as a teacher in Nigeria.

Now am not talking about Government school teachers o. Atleast those ones still dey see money.

Some Private school teachers earn as low as 20K per month in Nigeria. Graduates o. In this Buhari-Tinubu Guinness World Record Regime.

My neighbor now is complaining cos her child keeps failing JAMB. She can't pass Chemistry. Why? The school changes teachers every session which is affecting her. The last one did not teach some chemistry topics to the students which came out in JAMB this year.

Mama dey vex. She dey blame the Teacher. I told her to calm down. I asked her does she know how much the school pays the Chemistry Teacher? She said No. I laughed.

You can never be motivated to do ur best when u are not well paid. I told her to hold the School responsible for her daughter's downfall not the teacher.

Teaching is one of the hardest professions in the world because we are the Mother of all professions.

I'm just looking for money now to do my International Passport. Once I get it by God's grace, I don leave Nigeria for una.

Is the schools owned by the british?
perezski:
Well this OP is ill-informed or not informed at all. If only you knew how financially rewarding teaching job is . Most of you guys are so primitive with your mentality towards teaching. Hence end up teaching in a backward private school that runs Nigerian curriculum, despite your Bsc or BEd and whatever qualifications you have you don't take a simple approach towards empowering yourself with teaching skills and curriculum that pays Nigerian teachers satisfactorily. Op do you know how much Cambridge Schools in 9ja pay their staff? If I say Cambridge school not all those quasi- British/Nigerian hybrid schools or the wannabes. I mean schools like Regents, CIS, BIS and loads of others spread across Lagos,Porthacourt and Abuja. These schools only need your experience in any of the Cambridge IGCSE/Edexcel subjects and gbam, you could be earning as high as 500k monthly as your net. Instead of you bastardising teaching, go and repackage your self and your thinking process. With these range of salary some guys in the Maths and Science department even run Homelessons that pay them close to 400k aside from their salary. And please don't tell me these schools are not for every teacher. If you equip your self with the right skills and knowledge, these kind of jobs are for you overtime and you don't even need to japa if you know what you are doing. Over!

What are u trying to say please.
Clearly state what one should do or the solution.
decollex:
I disagree.
Teaching is not a shitty profession or a poverty alleviation setup. It's all in your mind. Many people Teaching today are not professional teachers. They are only side hustling while waiting for a "Breakthrough " in their lives.
I became a professional teacher in 2017, I bet you, that was the best decision of my life.
I am proud of what I do. I have friends (from Nigeria) who have gotten international Teaching contracts in countries like UK, China, Mexico and are earning atleast $4000 per month with Accommodation, 2 way air ticket and health insurance. Let me stop here. A little advice for you. You can choose to be the best in any chosen career. That was the promise I made to myself back then in 2017.

Re: Teaching Is The Worst Job In Nigeria by Love800(m): 5:25pm On Nov 26, 2023
From ur post, u saying that teachers should take extra teaching skills dat will elevate dem to get attracted to big schools dat will employ dem. Am i right?

So what are these skills like?
Saviola86:
Teaching pays you just haven’t built yourself to earn the pay you seek

Majority of those complaining about teaching jobs are those with maybe Bsc.Edu , Maybe Msc Edu or maybe those who accidentally find themselves in teaching profession after toiling for jobs in their area of specialties but couldn’t find.


Just like in every discipline, you keep building and gathering the necessary qualifications if you have any desire of getting to the top.

I didn’t do education related course but found myself teaching in one very big school in Lagos. Mind you I have just HND with no other qualifications but after searching for job in my field (computer science) I couldn’t find any then I applied in the second as their IT instructor with promise of bringing in my tech knowledge. We were much that came for the same position but me the least qualified was picked after a rigorous interview process.

In the school I discovered that teaching pays because the school mandated all staffs to take several certification courses in education which many teachers took and even went extra miles to get certificates not mentioned by the school (IGCSE, Cambridge, SAT etc) while some others felt relaxed (like me)

Fast forward to two years many teachers secured jobs in very big schools in the country. When I say big school I am talking about paycheck from 500k per month and above while they had access to kids from men at the top of the ladder in Nigeria where they could charge 20k per hour for private lessons.

Some even had teaching jobs abroad while many rejected offers to teach abroad because they get well paid as teachers here.

Govt has to do more to enhance welfare of teachers generally in the country but teachers too should up their skills and make them attractive to foreign and local big schools.


Back to my case, my school was big and very good but I had no passion for teaching so I resigned after saving enough to venture into business which I have always wanted but the skills, experience, training and exposures I had from the school helps me today in business and I am now a vendor to them (business partner.

My certificate remains hnd, I didn’t bother to add to it because I didn’t have intention of chasing teaching lines
Re: Teaching Is The Worst Job In Nigeria by Love800(m): 5:28pm On Nov 26, 2023
How do u mean?
Clearly explain more.
adonaimart:
It’s a big lie..

Teaching is online now.

You can monetize your teaching knowledge into a masterclass and sell in dollars.

If you think teaching is done only in a classroom, hunger will hammer you.

Please research more; it’s very lucrative oo

What are these upgrades?
placeofallure:


No please. There are teachers and there are teachers.

Teachers will earn according to how they position themselves. Upgrade yourself so you don't become obsolete. Some of us earn 6 figures every month. And there's time for you to do side hustles where you can earn more than your salary even. 60 percent of my colleagues come to work in their own rides.

Every sad tale, teacher! No please.

Truly, Being a teacher is a calling. I believe however only few are genuinely called.

The only problem is that many do it out of poverty not calling.

Just as we have many quack pastors, we have many quack teachers.

A true teacher by calling will not complain ceaselessly of low salaries like many uncalled teachers but will work harder to make ends meet.

In the good old days we had majority truly called teachers. Education had a high standard in Nigeria in the 60s to 80s.

But these days, teaching seems to be an escape route out of extreme poverty, but really it isn't. It's a very noble call but unfortunately many that have no business teaching professionally answer it.

Even true Medical Doctors who are "called" still complain carelessly of salaries despite how better paid they are compared to teachers.

They even go on strike every year to make matters worse.

Some have even japad out of the country for better pay.

Next time u see them, kindly tell them to come back to Nigeria. Okay.

No matter your calling, you will never be satisfied with being on the same level for too long.

We all want to excel and go higher continually in life. So it's natural for a called doctor or teacher to agitate for better wages.
