If no student reached 50% in ur class at the end of the term, then u failed as a teacher.

I won't blame u for it cuz u are not a trained teacher

Have you ever taught in the core North before?
If no, then I think you need to apologise to the OP for this your conclusion.

Ask those who gave taught there before, even Richard Feynman would fail woefully as a teacher.

EzeNdiAra:
What's your definition of ''right''?

Doing what won't amount to chaos.

ubcandid:
Hahahahaha. The smart thing would have been you holding on to the phone, the owner would call later.
BTW, how possible it was for the security man to bypass security on the phone got me thinking.

I actually thought it will be easier for the owner to get it from the security since I may not still be in the library when he will come calling! I was obviously wrong!! I'm also guessing that they might have done some "in-house thing" and allow one of them use it, and owner didn't come to ask them.

So far as schools (heads and principals) keep admitting every dick@Harry without subjecting them to passing standard entry exams, they will have to either choose between failing the dullards or helping them to pass.

I was once sacked for not flirting with the male customers and our madam male friends. I immediatly got a better job that I partly used in sponsoring myself peacefully.

U were just being stubborn, you can assist her if u wanted, not the righteous quotes u just put up out here.

Mind what you say in public space...... You signed an oath of secrecy bro.

Which yeye oath, did he mention names? Let him spill out jor.

Davash222:
During my PPA, we were forced by the principal to pass everyone after the 3rd term exam. The pain of wasting your starched shirt coming to school Monday to Friday, teaching SS1 blockheads that can't recite 36 states and capitals couldn't allow me to obey the principal's order. I added extra 10 marks to all of them out of my benevolence yet none scored above 50.
The principal asked me to re-mark the scripts, I refused. My head teacher did the wayo for them. The principal refused giving me clearance form for that month.

Which state did you do your service when this happen? I want to relate.

You're wrong

membranus:
Has he named any bank? More so all the banks are involved, therefore there is nothing to hide. Their Oga, the CBN, knows this and they just decides to turn their face instead.

You feel his real identify can't be gotten by law enforcement agencies if they petition Nairaland? He's coming out to say he works in an organization that aide crime and you think some antigraft agancies might not pick interest if they really wanna be thorough? If you've been on this platform for long you'll know other foreign nationals read what we post here how much more our own efcc

I'm not asking him not to spill it out... But he should respect the oath he signed and not come on air to divulge confidential information regarding his employer and colleagues. If he wants to be a whistleblower he knows the right quarters to go and not the public domain.

He didn't mention name. We are all know most bank are legally corrupt. CBN nor corrupt?

a fraudstar once approached me with a deak to help him open an account and manipulate the system for him in order to evade surveillance of monitoring agencies e.g EFCC. I would gain about 5 million for every 50 million he wired successful plus I would hit and surpass my target. It was very tempting as an ET fighting hard to be promoted to an ABO, but my conscience would not let me. after having sleepless night, I called him and politely turned down the offer.

Good people still dey Nigeria? I'm encouraged by this honestly. Kudos bro. May God grant your innermost heart desires.

paulGrundy:
am not sure it is. just as exam malpractice is prevalent in secondary schools. so it is also prevalent in banking. many of my colleagues do it. its like an open secret. management implicitly indirectly encourages it because it helps them meet their liquidity drive.

one of my line managers used to say this:

bring any type of money to the bank from any source, we will accept it, but do it smartly and don't allow the regulatory authorities catch you, or we deny you!

To let you know how prevalent it is in banking, a colleague of mine was implicated in a fraud scheme busted by the FBI all the way from USA that made headlines last year. her crime was that she did not do due diligence when opening the fraudsters account. the bank hired the best lawyers and fought her case, indirectly protecting the interest of the fraudster. after the whole ordeal she was promoted instantly to a branch manager.

Cladez:
Are you wiser than the people who made this statement??

"" when in Rome behave like a Roman""

"" if you can't beat them,join them""

Though examinations are just a measure of intelligence and not knowledge actually.

you are wiser only when you know in what circumstances these adages apply.

Morals and integrity are values that shouldn't be easily compromised!

Just reading and relating with all experiences... I love my country...

I graduated some years back, and never wanted to teach in secondary school‎ because of the trends in Nigerian education. I took to the labour market and focused only on primary schools. As the job did not come, I decided to include secondary schools.

One later came my way and it was the later. Having stayed long in the unemployment line, I accepted the offer. I started teaching and it was as I thought before. Having the hindsight, I did not bother. After all before the examination I will have gathered some amount. 

My colleagues were particularly vulnerable to the impact of our boss. Whenever they discuss, they always say all kind of things about the pressure from the boss. They saw it as an act of routine expediency that had to be done.

First term passed, second term passed, at this juncture, she called a meeting and we mustered. The major thrust of the meeting was the strategy to engage to pass the children.
She did not call it exam malpractice. She used a euphemistic language. At the end, she asked if we understood. Everybody nodded yes and gave an affirmative answer. This was at the end of the second term.

Soon it was time for the exam and the staff time table was out. It was arranged such that every teacher on duty will be supervising exam on the day his subject was to be taken. 

Choosing principle of expediency, I refused to take part in the exam malpractice I was uncomfortable with. 

The woman called and persuaded me to engage in the shady deal. I kept mute but inside me I had already made up my mind like the biblical Shedrack, Meshack, and Abednego.

The next day, I was on duty and I insisted on my principle of expediency. She simply gritted her teeth and moved on with it. 

Sometimes it is desirable for people to be free of fear of attack or sack as the case may be in order to invoke honest opinion.

The woman endured it because she did not have choice than to continue with me. Guess what! Some parents were ready to go with me! 
She endured it until the term ended. I was not surprised when she called me and announced my exit. 

Today, I am happy that i'm teaching in primary school where I am not forced to do exam malpractice. I'm even happy to have my pay raised.

may your deeds be accepted and perfection granted to you in this life



someday men like you would populate this earth


I hope you don't change and I hope I join you

In dis life there is nothing like right or wrong to succeed. Just be in d game and follow d trend. Gone are d days u try to be honest. Even honest workers are been fired for been honest and they regret not been honest. God himself will understand. Its survival. The world has changed and we need to be updated with d changes.

please, don't misguide folks here. There's right and wrong, just as there's black and white, light and darkness, heaven and hell, angel and demon, God and Devil.
No blurred lines bro. No blurred lines. In the end, we reap what we sow!

U are not that good, you are just afraid of taking risk, you had sleepless night because u are weighing the pros and cons before u finally decided.

This is a country where everybody takes fraud as an opportunity.

You don't mean it

Then why didn't u take the offer, not taking the offer for moral sake won't do anything, others would take it and life goes on.

I am not criticising u but assuming not taking it would had a great impact then that is when I will not take it after all they are driving money into the economy and that is good, and ur expense would be other people income

I failed as a teacher
A government/community school where 80% of the teachers are private school owners. The teachers don't even come to school, they rely only on Corp members.
A school Where most of your students are richer than you..(oil community)
A school where student will miss promotion exam and still be laughing.
A school where the principal only comes to school when it's time to register new students and exam period.

I tried my best, but, it's just like chasing the wind.

Roon9:
Yea! I once got a contract job as a civil engineer. It was a federal project. Omo there were using 14 headpan of sand to 1 bag of cement.

The same way back after connive with Criminals and fraudsters to defraud a customer and the bank will protect the identity of the fraudsters (internal and external)

Your conscience or the fear of bn caught by the regulatory bodies?

Like I always say, Integrity Pays! I am a living example of it. You may not receive your reward now, but God always makes a day of remembrance for those who tow the path of integrity just like Mordecai in the Bible.

By virtue of my profession, I have been asked to load contractors estimates or bills which I prepare to the tune of tens of millions of Naira just to cater for the interests of some company procurement staff, who want to collect kickbacks from the contractors. Infact, in the last case, they asked for 25% to be added to the contractors bill of almost N210 million. 25% of that sum amounts to N52 million!!! This is a private company, not government. I declined to inflate the bill. The contractor never paid me for my services.

This practice is happening not just in public sector but so much in the private sector, especially the procurement units/departments. So many bad stories of corruption there!

paulGrundy:
he was protecting his Integrity, thereby avoiding a scandal. remember you were the one marking the scripts. if he had awarded an A to you friend, jealous course mates would have said you were partial in marking by scoring your friend high marks. you are lucky though that he didn't set you up.

I wasn't part of those marking script. I think I went there to submit something.
The lecturer and I are not that much close.
