As a teacher in this particular sch, I and my colleagues have been completely dissatisfied with some of the school's anti-worker policies.

There's no decision or policy that favors the teachers. We are always at the receiving end of every decision.
For instance, as a form Teacher and also a teacher of Mathematics, I must ensure that my students eat their foods(Lunch). I must monitor them closely to make sure they don't take their foods home. They must finish their food.
If any student absents himself/herself, I must call the parents to check. Failure to do so would be akin and tantamount to insensitivity and lack of care for my students. These are JSS3 students we are talking about. But if the teacher is absent due to one reason or the other, same parents would not bother to check on the teacher even if they are aware.

Here's the most annoying part for me. I have a student. A new student who just came in in September. The child hasn't been doing well. The parents came on Open Day and met with me, we discussed on the way forward and how we can help the child to do better. This is a student who cares less about studies, so it is almost difficult to help him. Today we concluded our second Continuous Assessment Test and almost every teacher whose subjects had been written have all marked their scripts. I told this particular student to go round the teachers and get the scores of all His subjects for me. They offer 18 subjects. But to my surprise, the proprietoriess told me to go round the teachers and get his scores. She said so in the presence of this child. This is a woman that knows how busy I am as a Maths teacher, I barely even sit in my class cos I am always up and doing. What's wrong in a child carrying out this simple task?

Some supervisors came from the Ministry of Education a few weeks ago, and they noticed that we over pamper the children. They told us that they hope we have a university for them, because the way we are pampering them, if they go to higher institutions with such lackadaisical & nonchalant attitude, they will fail. So it's either we reduce the way we do it or we build a university for them to continue the pampering. It's not like the sch is a big sch where parents pay heavy sums as sch fees. Fee is 40k per term.

As a teacher, if a student fails to do your assignment, and u discipline that child, the proprietoriess will blame u. And if u don't discipline that child to Correct him/her, and same proprietoriess finds out that the students didn't do your assignment, she will public scold you. Shout at an erring student, it's a problem. Flog the child, it's a problem. Talk to the child, it's a problem. They will find a way of misconstruing your words to suit their narratives. A student can insult u and u won't do anything. If u do, they will label u as wicked. They will ask u why u can't see the child as just a child and overlook things. It's really frustrating.
You can imagine catching a JSS 2 student doing test and exam malpractice, if u deduct the child's score, it's a problem. If u flog, it's a Problem. I once deducted a child's score when I caught him him cheating in an exam. I mean, this boy had the impetus, guts and audacity to open his Maths notebook and be copying directly to his exams script. I used my red pen to deduct just 10marks, and in the end, I was told not to deduct any score. It was said right in the presence of this same student, and other students present there. I was weak. Very weak.

Some parents also try to bully teachers cos they are backed up by the school owners. After all, a customer is always right. If a Parent contracts u to have a private lesson for their child, and such parent refuses to pay you at the time they should pay, and u dare ask for your money, u could be in hot soup. The parent might call the school owners to report that you're harassing them and you will get the blame. In fact, the school owners tell u what to charge them.

The proprietor of the sch is who understands all these, but his wife is different. His wife is so sentimental, biased and emotional and unfair when judging cases. There are three staff there who can never be wrong in her eyes. Three days into my assumption of duty there, I was told about this by some old staff, but I doubted until I found out that what I heard was actually the truth. I believe a Boss should carry everyone along and not love some and despise others. She goes as far as gossipping about her staff with other staff(her right-hand staff).

How can a Proprietoress who was once a teacher in someone's sch boldly tell her staff that their Future end here in her sch, and that the students are now the future. And that the children will be more successful than the teachers? . It tells a lot as to how she sees and perceives her employees and reason she mistreats her staff. She has placed a limit on us that we can't go beyond where we are.

See, I love teaching and God knows. I'm so passionate about this profession despite the fact that it is almost not a lucrative job. I have taught in Nine(9) private schools, in four(4) different states of this country so I'm well experienced by God's grace. But this sch is something else. The only good thing is that they don't owe salaries. Never.

Dividends Of Unemployment

As attractive as this title might be, it is not fiction. Some may say that I am trying to be satiric but what I am about to say is fact…..As it is.

The unemployment rate in Nigeria is no longer news. Everybody is blaming the government for being non-chalant but that is no news either. The news is that some people benefit from the high rate of unemployment in Nigeria. Some thought it is the banks but I usually ask, is it not prestigious?. There is this business that flourish in Nigeria today that gives the proprietor absolute power to toy with graduates.

Years back, private schools of low category cannot boast of qualified teachers. Few of their teachers back then were TCII holders while the majority of their teaching staff were W.A.E.C holders. Today, it requires something close to an aptitude test before a graduate can secure a teaching opportunity in a private school. This aptitude test like procedures does not pose much problem to graduates; the problem is what they experience in those private schools.

In a certain private secondary school, the staff were subjected to a letter writing examination by the proprietor in order to measure their intelligence. The funny part of the whole thing is that the proprietor is not learned. It does not stop there; any member of the staff can be ordered to any degrading errand without notice and the slightest objection can get you sacked. There are some private schools that are owned and managed by learned citizens, but in such schools, the war is not between the staff and the management of the school but among the staff themselves. Most of them felt that they are demi-gods simply because they started teaching in the school before you. I once saw a lesson note of a teacher marked by a fellow teacher of such school, with funny comments such as ‘This page is untidy’; as if the lesson note belongs to her student. ‘Use adequate time to develop your lesson note’. This particular comment got me thinking; are you to write ten pages for a forty minutes lesson?. Does it stop there?, another teacher will be busy rating your exam questions and if you dare to complain, you will be politely warned to ‘bring yourself down’.

Graduates in other private schools have their own horrible experiences. These are graduates that were nursing high hopes of securing a job in Ministries, Banks, Telecom companies etc. The experiences of graduates and the fact that low class private school benefit from the unemployment situation in Nigeria may be difficult to believe but what you can easily digest is that many are nursing the idea of starting a private school so that they will also enjoy the dividends of unemployment in Nigeria.

rewatch it again, if Cain was hit, it would be his right finger which I doubt, there's still footage of him shooting back at terrick and brayden with his left hand. Watch carefully you'll see his cloth if not his face.

Kobojunkie:
None of what you claim here makes any sense given Customary Marriage Laws in Nigeria are set on the fact that all children born within a marriage belong to the man, irrespective of their actual paternity. Anyone who does not accept such terms simply needs to divorce the customary Laws of the land. Under customary Law, paternity fraud is a hoax!

I have this android phone I have been using since 2021. I have repaired the screen twice because it broke. I have grown fond of the phone and it seems more closer to me like a baby.

For some several reasons, I feel like now the phone communicates with me now instead of using it to communicate.
Sometimes before a call comes through or my phone rings, something always tell me someone is about to call or someone is about to send a text.

If I think about something, within an hour tht thing happens. In fact it feels like it has happened before. Something like dejavu.

Sometimes when I pick up my phone, it feels like, I can see the preceding events before they happen. If I think about a series of numbers, I suddenly see them on my phone. Or am I crazy.


The screen is broken and the battery isn't as strong as before but it still does alot for me.
I keep wondering, do I feel like my phone is communicating with me?

I believe Umuahia. If you know where Aguiyi Ironsi grew up.

I watched the interview video and my opinion is that she lived a bad life.. a terrible one at that.

Imagine borrowing from lots of loan app without paying.

Imagine her victim mentality in this age and time over a failed marriage.

Imagine not divorcing a dead beat husband promptly.

Imagine her father in-law gave her husband money for rent and upkeep and warned him to stay away from her.

Imagine badmouthing people who tried to house her. Such entitlement!


In conclusion, she's not a nice person and can't obtain we online relations.

To what end? How would this help him? I'd like to protect his privacy as far as I can.

My friend recently returned from Bangui, CAR, last week, to attend his mother’s funeral (she was struck by lightning), only to be told he had to make a life pact with a crocodile, just like his mother did, before he could bury his mother. According to him, when his mother was a child, a bottle of blood was drawn from her left arm, and left limb of a captured crocodile, mixed together with some ritual herbs, and ritual stones, then fed to his mother and the crocodile.
The crocodile was released back into the wild. It is a longevity ritual, according to him. The human will live as long as the crocodile.
He said in his village---he is Igbo---they believe that crocodiles in the wild live to be around 100 years. If anything happens to the crocodile, the human feels it. The human can never die unless the crocodile dies. His mother was 63, and would have been 64 this year. They think the crocodile was also struck by lightning and that’s why his mother was struck by lightning too.
He does not want to do this ritual, because he does not believe in it. Why would anyone put their life in the hands of an animal which a hunter can kill any time?
The elders say his mother cannot be buried unless he does the ritual, to continue the omenala in his family. His father is late.
Is anyone familiar with this ritual? What can he do to get out of it? He wants to fly out but does not want to leave his mum unburied. Help!!!

Yes..As a matter of fact,many HIV positive people don't have symptoms and are diagnosed incidentally during routine medical checks,antenatal visits or attempts to donate blood.

At the initial stage,they may some flu like symptoms which in Nigeria is usually assumed to be malaria.
(This is the seroconversion stage)

Later on,they can be asymptomatic (dormancy stage) for years especially for people who do not have underlying conditions such as diabetes, malnutrition that can suppress their immunity.

Some may have intermittent on and off febrile illness ,feeling of unwellness,tiredness which they will keep taking antimalarials for.

When the virus continues to replicate and overwhelm the immune system,they start to develop subtle symptoms that are suspicious of immunosuppression..This can take many years.

And gradually,the person develops AIDS.

My knowledge and experience as a medical doctor.

Some malaria symptoms are seroconversion stage of HIV or sign of immunosuppression.m due to HIV.
