I don’t see why he is complaining though. If he really believes teaching is what he wants to do, he should find means of optimizing his earnings. I know many proprietors are demonic but as an engaged teacher, he has a leverage to have private students he tutors thereby making more money. Tutoring online is also an option open to him.


This na my imagination o. Teachers on the field can throw in more light. The challenges and the prospects. Una good afternoon.

Everyone seems to have an idea and most of una workshops na underneath so u cant understand, as person wey hin papa don do houseboy well before let me explain, school offers you 45k,expects you to get neat shirt and trousers ironed daily, contrary to most people thinking teachers job is easier because it is not physically engaging you need to think about it again have you ever had to explain something to a dull child then you will know the meaning of psychological stress, you come late-salary reduction, you make mistakes-minus 2k etc, they use 90k worth of manpower from you the owner expects you to act in fear, brick work or mason isnt easy but daily or weekly pay is king, you can stop after a week if you get a better offer or you feel too stressed. Daily income makes any job worth it, its the closest to per hour we can get, most of the idiot ladies and proud guys that insult uber drivers have no idea the guy is more financially buoyant.

I used to think there is no basis for comparing a Teacher with a Bricklayer but a recent event change my line of thinking.

I went to visit a friend at a construction site around Meiran in Lagos two days ago, and almost immediately I got there I noticed that one of the Bricklayers working there was being called TEACHER by his co-workers. I wondered what would make his colleagues be calling him Teacher, could it be that he is so good that he even trains his colleagues on the job?

So, I inquired about him from one of his colleagues why they refer to him as TEACHER, the man replied that he is actually a school Teacher. Not satisfied, I went to TEACHER himself to hear from the horse’s mouth. The man who appears to me as a man in his mid-40’s told ne his name is ADIO; he said he is actually a trained Teacher and had taught in several schools before deciding to leave the Teaching profession for Bricklaying.

When I asked him why he left Teaching he said

‘things are hard in this country and the mingy, chintzy, niggard school owners make things harder for their workers with the way they treat them thereby; making it difficult for someone like me to feed myself and family. Even the peanuts, meagre pellet which they are expected to pay at the end of the month, the avaricious, penurious and tight-fisted proprietors find it difficult to part with them. It is either they are short-paying or under-paying or not paying. By the end of the month you as an ‘educated pauper’ are actually living from hands to mouth like a blind shrew

I asked him why Bricklaying of all jobs,
‘I taught professionally as a school Teacher with both my NCE and Degree Certificates for over 20 years yet I have nothing to show for it but since almost 3 years now that I’ve fully embrace Bricklaying things have been more than better. God has been too faithful to me and by His Grace by December I will be moving into my own cosy and comfy house at Atan in Ogun State. What I couldn’t achieve for more than 20 years as a Teacher I’ve been able to do so in less than 3 years as a Mason. If reincarnation is true then, in my next life I would choose Bricklaying over Teaching over and over again.’ ADIO said.

Bricklayers (Masons) make steady income provided they get sites to work on... The problem wit most of them is lack or planning and savings.

how many schools offer 45k?
If only u know many collect as low as 25k

obonujoker:
Teaching is for women whom their husband don't want to go far to work, but must still leave the home to get busy..

A man cannot be serious and wants to train a family with teaching....

See what these fool ani fools are doing.
Our major problem in these country is relinquishing power to fool ani fools.
In the history of Nigeria, these savage cows have ruled this country for at least 70% of times. See the results of their rulership - FAILURE!!!


Buharî is the worst thing to ever happen to this country. He's failure and corruption has even surpassed that of ibb.
Very nepotistic cow.

A pack of Indomie is now N2,900! Something that used to be N1,300 two years ago.

Bottle Table water is now N100

Sardine is now N500

In some places, one single egg is now N100

12.5 kg of gas is now N8750

Engine oil 1LT is now N3000! Etc

N500 can hardly feed anyone satisfactorily in a booker or mamaput restaurant..

I wonder what state this country will be by 2023.

People are always complaining about private school teaching. Yes there are some develish properiotrs

The big schools that pay well charge high fees. Is Pampers or corona abi Avi Cenna that charges 200- 500k for a small child that won't pay well?
How much do you pay as school fees for your child before shouting this nonsense.


I know of schools in this Lagos that charge 5k per term and parents of the children complain that it is high. And they will still owe even with low fees.

Tell them to pay 20k for nursery class they would complain not to talk about primary school pupils.
As much as you want to blame the owners, you should also face the parents.

How many of you don't owe school fees or don't do carry over to the next term?

How much do you pay as school fees?

I know three schools that shut down this session because of bad debt from parents.

A school that pays teachers 50k will charge a minimum of 40k for school fees with at least 15-20 children per class.
