This post details my experience and what i learnt teaching secondary school student in 2014 at a public and private secondary school in River state, This topic https://www.nairaland.com/6344616/pupils-almost-put-me-trouble/5#97717036, motivated me to write.

2012, I finished school, worked briefly in a factory to raise money before NYSC.

2013 June, i was posted to Umunya, Anambra state for NYSC, after camp, i redeployed to Rivers State.

2013 July, i was posted to a public secondary school in a village around ELELE, I was to take SS1 civic education. i had ample time, for a fact too much time. so i decided to look for a secondary place of assignment, I got a private school and was employed to teach commerce and also assist the house master as it was a boarding school, service year was good for me cos, my 19800 was resting, i relied on the 25000 i earned from the private school, i was also feed as assistant house master, i only spent my money on transportation and light drinking, i had no GF.

2013, i began teaching in the public school but discovered they were too playful, noisy etc, I told them i love to play as well, (Coming down to their level) they were amused, i gave the rules that we play hard and work hard, i explained to them that when its time for class, we concentrate as to learn and achieve fast, then when its time for play we play as well, deal or no deal, they agreed. My class was always very interactive and lively, for once this kids wanted me in their class, at free periods, they always came to call me when I'm around. I started working at the private school, but discovered it was a different ball game entirely, they weren't that Noisy, playful, they were always busy, no free periods they were most often reserved smart and intelligent.

2013, It was pretty easy penetrating the ranks of my students in the public school, however, the private school students were reserved, they hardly talk, just answer you and go. I decided to come to their level as well, i started talking with those who wanted to talk, sending them errands, soon other wanted to talk, at the boarding house, I decided to play ball with them, i taught them different games, the girls were just there looking, i decided to interact with them, ask them what sport they liked, i discovered they had long tennis, badminton racket and net in the hostels but weren't, using them, we fixed it, I began teaching them to play, soon they were playing, i discovered there were some girls always lurking around the football pitch, always ready to pick the ball etc, i asked them if they wanted to play, initially they were reluctant and the boys were surprised, they were like uncle, can this one play, uncle i will not mercy tis one o, i will park or fire this one, i told they to be considerate and lets mix them, take care of the girls in your team. to my greatest surprise, they guys were even protecting the girls playing for them, there were too many sporting activities going on simultaneously at the same time and the hostel became very lively, they kids at the hostel had too many to gist for their counterparts in the day school.

2013, i taught my kids in both the public and private secondary schools well, we play well and were very close, i also set what i called traps for flogging, this kept them at high alerts as they did not want to fall into those traps, some felt, uncle just flog me, this standards are too high abeg, i twisted questions to rattle their brains, they were quick to scramble it out and give me the answer, at this point, I tried to take note of those who weren't interested or active in this activities, and paid special attention to them, i helped them the little i could, making them believe in themselves.

2013 December, I organized an end of year party for kids in the public school, the school authorities weren't interested, other corpers weren't interested as well, so we bought cabin biscuits and bottled drinks did a small party and dancing competition and everyone went home for the year.
The private school had an elaborate end of year party, we did a lot of decorations, preparations rehearsals etc. It was an IT savvy school with all kids having Ipads and laptops, We did plenty of digital designs for presentation, i spiced it up with different dances, presentation engaging parents as well. I was very close to the students at this point. party ended and we all went home.

2014 January, school resumed however i was more at the private school doing plenty work as the director was always pressing, we took the students on tour, expos, excursions, competitions etc, we did a lot of marketing jobs to sell he school, i was made head of project 2000, it was a project to sell 2000 forms at 2000 Naira each, i was given the resources to achieve this target, in between this, i still had inter personal relationships with my students most especially the boarding house students, in the evening when we get home, i also organized some competitions with my kids at the public school during the second term.

2014 May, Third term, i was supposed to hand over to a junior corper, as i was leaving the following month, i still taught my student in the public school bringing them out of their shell, some of their parents brought plantain, garri, rice, beans, pepper, maggi, mango, banana etc God bless them all where ever they are today. i always dash the excess out as i was feeding from the private school i was working as well,

2014 June, this month was a month for retrospect, it was an emotional month as well, i left the public school at the middle of the term, i remember my students, both boys and girls were crying, i took time to hug all of the, took phone picture and boom, service was over, dumped my khaki, labour market, the director or the private school i worked reached agreement in principles to increase my salary to take up a permanent role in the school, I concentrated fully on the job at hand, doing aggressive marketing to sell the forms, at the end of third term, I and my team had sold 2004 forms smashing the target.

2014 August shortly after third term, I was made the head of another project, to conduct common entrance for over 2000 pupils and select the best 600 as that is what the school can handle at full capacity, we had to device a means of conducting the exams into different classes in batches in order to avoid over crowding, it was another success, however trouble started when some powerful parent influenced the admission, wetin concern me. The decisions taken afterwards was above my pay grade.

2014 August/September, we organized summer school, which went well, I was made head of another project, Creating and managing the school website, data base, synchronizing data, uploading student and staff data, uploading result and creating online project for each student, we had a limited time frame to achieve this as the developers came from Lagos, i selected my team, made up of vibrant staffs, we worked day and overnight for three (3) consecutive days to achieve this.

2014 October/November/December, First term began, however, the security situation had deteriorated in this community, this was during the days of Don Wanny and co, I had near death experience on three separate occasions, on a particular day, one of the driver refused to come pick the student bus very early in the morning around 5am, other drivers had gone, in order not to fail the parents, I decided to go pick the minder, then proceed to go pick the kids, on the way to the minders house around 5.15am i ran into some cultist, they sat in a circle, each with burning candles right in front of them, they all wore white singlet and tied a red rope round their heads, with a bamboo leave in their mouth, they all stood up in unison all holding cutlass, guns and dangerous weapons, they shouted park, park, i initially wanted to accelerate into a corner and try to escape, however it was as if God took charge, i took the turn then park and came down, they were in front so i would have ran into them, some of them began to say carpon make we run am, i was scared to the marrow, i began to beg moving backwards telling them i was going to pick school kids, i told them to look at the school logo on the bus, apparently they saw the school poster, one said lie down raised his machete, i ran close to one whose machete was still down, i knelt down and begged him, and he told the other about 6 to leave me alone. the guy gave me a serious warning and told me to go, while i was driving out, i saw many of them hidden in corners even flashing touch, how i entered the den of death and came out alive is only God. Another close shave with death i will never forget is a champions league match, Manchester United vs Chelsea i watched it in one hotel, a guy and a lady left just 3 min to the end of the game, on coming out, i saw them right in front, about five guys came out from the bush, held the girl down, the guy tried to fight, he was shot dead, i and my friend hid close to the bush but they saw us from afar and ran towards us, we dashed into he bush escaping to the other street.

2014 December, The security situation in Omoku had become too serious, after the end of year party, i danced and danced with my kids, I traveled for Christmas on the 24th December 2014, i have not return to the community since then. The security situation was so bad in 2015 many schools had to close.

I love teaching, I still fancy the opportunity I'm currently in Abuja.

nwa teacher.... plural of staff is staff or staffers not staffs. take note o!

Very interesting.

Mark this. The early signs to know d country has improved is electricity and teachers who are well paid!!

I hate reading long boring texts but when its worth the read and written in clear fluent English or even my native Igbo then I will be hooked.
OP seriously I still find it difficult to understand how teachers enjoy their profession.
Maybe it is because of the poor pay. When someone describes his/her profession with such gusto and enthusiasm then it does not seen so bad. Maybe more teachers should should come out like the op and tell us their motivation. it might just help.



But OP you left out the sxxx part which they say must be in every NYSC tale. Make it part two of this.

the OP is using this story to market himself for teaching job in Abuja. So some of the experience he shared there may be exaggerated to give a good impression of himself to potential employers

May God bless those of us who read this episode to the end.
@OP it appear u are very brilliant and conserved. May God reward your works...

make reading a culture... learn sir

Improve on your writting skill...I wanted to read it but the way you wrote it made it more difficult to read...Just an honest feedback....

Las Las waiting come happen...Abegiii

You are lucky, where I am serving in Anambra, Nteje to be precise, the boys are hoodlums and they will demotivate you. I remember when I was leaving home, I was boosting to my brother that I will work so hard and impact lot of knowledge in the kids because I have teaching experience back in the west, teaching my level mates and lower level students in college, then also in high school.

When I got here it was a different story. In my first class, I spent 2 hours teaching SS2 BODMAS, gave them assignment and they didn't do it. Well, since they have decided not to be serious, I focused on other things in my life.

I think it's just Anambra though because when I traveled to Imo and I interactef with the locals, I can feel the Gap in exposure and knowledge.

As much as I love teaching, it's really a thankless job

Wow this is a lovely write up. Omoku was really dangerous that period. What part of Abuja do you live

I love teaching so much but the pay is discouraging

Don't generalise your opinion. A lot of us read it.

Nice read. Love the fact that you light up the room wherever you go. Good traits. You will get a very good job soon by God's grace.

I taught Maths and Chemistry in a public school in Abia State while serving.
Those students caused me a lot of headache, they will prefer farming for teachers in the school to learning.

Abia State Secondary education system has really deteriorated, they government should endeavour to pay teachers, so they will be encouraged.

They teachers were being owed for months, the were reluctant to enter classes or put effort, which even made some corpers to lose focus..

I really felt for the students that were really determined to learn but found themselves in such state. Really tried my best while fighting indiscipline too, it wasn't easy at all..
Nigeria matter tire me, being a teacher here is really a tough one. Imagine being owed for 10months.

10 months and u still dey there? Naaaaaa....

I read thru he was downplaying govt school without mentioning it was there attitude then made he lucrative in both ways jnstead if him to mend he said he had ample time in what dimension
