💔 WHY I STOPPED MARKING WAEC SCRIPTS

The last time I marked WAEC scripts was in 2019 — and I still haven’t healed from it.

I was given a little over 300 scripts to mark.
Each script is filled with long theory questions — with sub-questions a, b, and c.
It wasn’t a job.
It was punishm€my.

I spent two full weeks.
Sleepless nights.
Tired eyes.
No weekends.
No side work.
No rest.

Just me, a red pen, and a heavy heart.

For every script I marked, I was paid ₦13.
When you calculate it, it gave me just around ₦4,000.

The rest of what made my total pay up to ₦13,000 was for so-called “logistics”:
Transportation, corrections, and back-and-forth stress that I paid for with my strength and sanity.
But in the end, what was left to take home?
Nothing. Nothing but pa!n.

I saw colleagues take multiple packs —
600… 900… even 1,200 scripts —
not because they had the strength,
but because they were desperate for more money as the pay per pack is small.

And when the burden became too much,
they handed the scripts to anyone who could help them meet the deadline —
students, friends, and even non-teachers who didn’t understand the subject.

Scripts were rushed.
Wrong answers were ticked.
Good students were failed.
And no one will ever know what those children truly wrote.

I looked at my pay, looked at my work, and I asked myself one painful question:
Is this how a system kills both teachers and students silently?

From that moment, I said never again.
Not until there is real change.
Not until they value our effort.
Not until teachers are treated like human beings — not cheap machines.

📢 To every teacher who has marked WAEC scripts and felt this pain —
Let this be your voice. Let this post be your cry.

📢 If you’ve ever spent nights marking, only to be insuIT€d with peanuts — share this.

Thank you wike

Tinubu will rather divide the country than give power to north

In a nut shell, Nigeria is owned by the citizens of Nigeria including but not limited to the Igbos, Yoruba and Hausa ,Fulani. I was shocked after the Uromi saga, I hear some people willingly giving power to the Fulani tribe that they are the owner of Nigeria, but this not only false but insulting at the same time.

He should come to Elele, they paid for transformer to restore light in Elelle in Ikwere LGA before court sack LGA chairman, since then our light purse.

Before now rivers workers would have been paid . Has Wike succeeded in distroying rivers

When did uniport started doing law? Thought it was only RUST that does law program in rivers state.

Yoruba man, they don send you?

Sim for President

Does this imply that workers salaries will not be paid?

*On the six months suspension of Sen Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghen*

(Primusology)

In a nutshell,the suspension of Dist Sen Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghen is in contravention of the two principles of natural justice which posits *Audi Auterem patem* meaning (Hear from other party) as enshrined in section 36 of the 1999 constitution as amended 2011, and *Nemo judex incausa Sua* meaning (One can't be a judge in his own case).

Furthermore assuming without conceeding the fact that the said suspension lacks Merrit,but assuming the senate committee is genuine and has the power to recommend a suspension for erring member,the pertinent question is does the senate has the constitutional power to suspend a member for a period of six months as seen in the case of Sen Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghen? The answer is in negative,because the position of the law as enshrined in section *21 of the Legislative Houses (powers & privileges) Act* ,a senator can't be suspended beyond 14days.

Conclusively,Sen Akpabio by virtue of being a party or respondent to the petition lacks the power to preside over such petition because same is in contravention of the second arm of the natural justice principle (Nemo judex incausa Sua) supra.

Sequel to the above argument I hereby affirm that the six months suspension is illegal and shall hold no water because you can't place something on nothing and expect same to stand *Ex-nihilo Nihil Fit* as such I demand that it be lifted with immediate effect with apology.

Nigeria laws were written by criminal s so enjoy it

OVB123:
Despite his short coming, I believe he is the right man for the job.
Let give him the opportunity to work and forget about what happened.

He will one day sign Edo's 1Trillion for 1 billion.

Bobloco:
We are asking why there is a rush to pass such an important bill that will have a far-reaching effect on Nigerians

Because it is long over due

Nigeria's government has been lucky all along, but might not be lucky with this one.

Does that mean that Rivers state workers to go hungry at this trying time in Nigeria?

people like him cant be seen in the corrupt nigeria politics

A married man from equatorial guinea slept with 400 married women. What did that teach about women? But this can't happen in #Nigeria, because he may have slept with one with cross &die charm, and may have died

You can't be using money meant for Ehime mbano for example to build road in owerri.Every LGA needs to come back to life. Release our money now.

The national assembly should go ahead and pass the bill if they desire to fix this country.

north who cultivate their land and produce rice yet buy it with money. maybe they would given the rice free to FG for unward distribution to the citizens.

Cry me a river, the bill has passed its first reading at the Senate.
