Today, after closing from work somewhere on the island, I saw a guy holding up a placard on which his number and these words were written "Home Lesson Tutor". As motorists drove by, the guy held the placard advertising his service.

He might just be one of the private school teachers whose source of income has been cut for months.

Sometimes we criticize lazy people, but this is someone who is probably skillful and who advertisizes his service the way he can.

However, the question is: will people even trust him enough?

Galactico4ever:
Some people are just unfortunate in life.I hope he finds the needed help asap.

MrBrownJay1:


would you trust a stranger to come to your home and/or be close to your children unrestricted?! its very easy to find proper tutors with VALID credentials and proven track record. people should be very careful with who they bring to their home and/or around their family....especially in these difficult covid19 times.

i understand that some people are desperate for work, but as much as this man gets the attention he is seeking, this aint the way....

there is a huge different between being lazy and doing whats right.

ScholarAcademy:
You have a point, but your point is not absolute.

Haywhymido:
It is quite a bad and a hard thing to be born in this country, a worse and harder case if you were born in a middle class family, worst and hardest if you were born in a poor family. Now, due to this pandemic the people that are in the middle class are fast becoming poor. So we are now left with the rich class, the poor class and the extremely poor class.

MrBrownJay1:


this has absolutely NOTHING to do with Nigeria nor this pandemic. go to any top city in the US etc and you will often see welldressed people begging for work at traffic light etc, with cardboard sign.. and this happened years before this pandemic.

Haywhymido:
You only see what you want to see, though I don't deny that happening in the foreign countries but the cases and rates of unemployment in Nigeria outweight the ones in US both before and during this pandemic. Most unemployed folks oversea are unskilled, crackheads and other whatnot the opposite is the case here.

MrBrownJay1:


your 1st mistake is to believe that only unskilled people or crackheads are unemployed overseas, lol.
your 2nd mistake is your failure to understand that there is unemployment everywhere in this world, and Nigeria isnt a special case.
your final mistake in this issue is to think that because there is less unemployment in the overseas, it means it is better there somehow.

people like you will always value the west over Nigeria...

Read my comment again I said MOST NOT ONLY,

Unemployment rate in Nigeria is more than a 'special case' so stop being delusional. Gone are those days when graduates are able to secure good paying jobs before their convocation. Nowadays,graduates look for jobs for years. Sad reality of our nation

Whichever way you choose to see this, most oversea countries have sane and enabling environment for an average individual to develop, you can't say this of this country.
Lastly, Nigeria is an ultra fast failing country. It's high time we called it what it's #Dazall

He may be a thief tho...

I am a tutor.

Tutors don't hire like that

As it stands like this sef, there’s no middle ground. You’re either extremely rich or extremely poor.

Isokoboy:


As funny as it is...a lecturer gave me that trust...abt 4years ago..with her help..am doing my M. Eng.... God will keep blessing them..for having that trust in me

Vyzz:





Or he might be a starving teacher who has people to take care of.... And no other source of income

MrBrownJay1:


around your children, family AND home.... everyone better be safe than sorry.

as much as there may be many great respectable tutors doing the above, there could equally be many criminals/pedos/kidnappers etc doing the same. would you really take such gamble with your children/family/home?!?!?

In this era, you ll blame yourself if you rely on just one skill. You have to be multi skilled to survive in this Country.

I have a guy who is a tailor, painter and an agent. He's never out of job
