• Super Falcons Rewarded Royally, But Who Will Honour Nigeria’s Real Nation Builders?

    By Stanley Ugagbe

    The air is thick with jubilation, and rightly so. Our Super Falcons, a beacon of national pride, have once again soared, bringing home the 2024 Women's Africa Cup of Nations trophy. President Bola Tinubu, with a flourish, has showered them with accolades: national honors, three-bedroom apartments, and a cool $100,000 each. The Nigeria Governors Forum chimed in with an additional N10 million per player. A grand gesture, indeed, a testament to their dedication and a shining moment for our nation.

    But as the confetti settles and the cheers begin to fade, a dissonant note rings in the ears of many, a stark reminder of a deeper, more unsettling reality. While we celebrate our athletes, and rightly so, a gnawing question begs to be asked: what about the unsung heroes who keep the wheels of our society turning? The ones who, day in and day out, toil in the trenches, their invaluable contributions often met with a paltry pittance rather than a well-deserved windfall.

    Let's speak plainly. Our teachers, the very architects of our future, are paid peanuts. They stand before our children, molding minds and shaping destinies, yet their take-home pay often feels like a cruel joke, barely enough to keep body and soul together. They are the bedrock of our society, yet we treat them as if their worth is less than the dust beneath our feet.

    And what of our professors, the custodians of knowledge, the intellectual giants who are meant to propel our nation forward? They too earn peanuts, forcing many to moonlight or abandon academia altogether, leaving a gaping void in our institutions of higher learning. We expect them to produce world-class research and educate the next generation, but we offer them crumbs, effectively telling them their expertise is dispensable.

    Consider the military men, those brave souls who stand as our shield against chaos, putting their lives on the line to safeguard our peace and sovereignty. Their sacrifice is immense, their courage unwavering. Yet, their take-home pay can't even take them home. Many struggle to provide for their families, living a hand-to-mouth existence while facing unimaginable dangers. It's a bitter pill to swallow when those who protect us are themselves struggling to survive.

    Then there are our medical personnel, the frontline warriors against illness and disease, who dedicate their lives to healing the sick and saving lives. They are stretched thin, overworked, and underpaid, often working in deplorable conditions. The deplorable conditions and abysmal remuneration have driven many to seek greener pastures abroad, a phenomenon we now tragically refer to as "japa." Our hospitals are bleeding talent, and who can blame them for escaping a system that undervalues their tireless efforts?

    The irony is as sharp as a surgeon's scalpel. We celebrate a football victory with lavish rewards, a moment of fleeting glory, while the very pillars of our society crumble under the weight of neglect. It's like pouring champagne on a wilting plant while the roots are starved of water. This disparity isn't just an oversight; it's a profound statement about our national priorities, a disheartening reflection of where our true values lie.

    This isn't to say our Super Falcons don't deserve their accolades. They fought hard, they won big, and they brought joy to millions. Their victory is a testament to the power of sport and the spirit of perseverance. But true national development isn't built on isolated triumphs; it's built on the collective strength of a well-compensated, motivated, and appreciated workforce.

    We cannot expect to build a truly great nation when the very people entrusted with educating our children, securing our borders, and healing our sick are struggling to make ends meet. It's a house built on sand, destined to collapse under the slightest pressure. This isn't just about money; it's about dignity, about respect, and about valuing the foundational elements of our society.

    It's time for a radical shift in perspective, a re-evaluation of our national ethos. We must move beyond the dazzling spotlight of transient achievements and focus on the quiet, consistent efforts that truly sustain us. Let's not be blinded by the glitter of gold medals while the very fabric of our society frays at the edges.

    The President's gesture, while commendable for the Super Falcons, highlights a glaring double standard. If we can find the resources to reward athletic prowess so handsomely, then surely, we can find the means to ensure that those who dedicate their lives to public service are compensated with dignity and fairness. It's not a matter of scarcity; it's a matter of priority.

    It's time to provoke action. We must demand a living wage for our teachers, fair compensation for our professors, honorable pay for our military, and respectable remuneration for our medical personnel. We must hold our leaders accountable and insist that they put their money where their mouths are when it comes to the well-being of all citizens, not just a select few.

    Let this moment of athletic triumph be a catalyst for change, a loud alarm bell ringing in the ears of those in power. Let it remind us that a nation's true strength lies not just in its sporting victories, but in the equitable treatment and flourishing of all its people. Otherwise, the taste of victory will forever be tinged with the bitter irony of a society that celebrates some while leaving others to wither on the vine.

  • A lawyer sold his well to a teacher. Two days later, the lawyer came to the teacher and said, "Sir, I sold you the well, but it's not with the water inside! If you want to use the water, you will have to pay extra."

    The teacher smiled and replied, "Yes, I was about to come to you. I was going to say that you should please take your water from my well, or else you will have to start paying rent of keeping your water in my well from tomorrow because I only need the well but not the water inside.

    Hearing this, the lawyer got nervous and said, "Oh, I was just joking sir!".

    The teacher laughed and said, "You started your knowledge from us before becoming lawyers."

    Salute to teachers! #teachers #FearGod #digitalart

  • Of all the injustices teachers face, this one c.uts the deepest…
    Every year, when August comes, many schools hold back salaries.
    Their excuse? “Teachers don’t work in August.”
    But did you ever ask who writes the lesson plans during the holidays?
    Who spends sleepless nights preparing notes that make your school proud?
    Who silently thinks through how to help that slow learner catch up next term?
    Who sacrifices their peace just to ensure your school stays afloat?
    Teachers don’t get official leave like bankers or civil servants.
    Their only “rest” is the school holiday—yet even that is full of work.
    Some school owners still use them for August lessons…
    But instead of salary, they give them crumbs from what was earned.
    No recognition. No dignity. No respect. Just cold dismissal.
    Have you ever seen a teacher during the holidays?
    They’re not on vacation. They’re marking scripts.
    They’re writing lesson notes.
    They’re updating records.
    They’re praying for that one child who always fails to finally pass.
    They’re building the school in silence—mind, soul, and body.
    Teachers are counsellors, second parents, guardians, mentors, nurses, motivators.
    Their work is beyond the classroom—it is life-giving.
    If you’re a school proprietor and you still deny your teachers August salary,
    Let your conscience wake up today. Let it weep.
    You want them to teach, but leave them to starve?
    You cu.t their pay as though their worth is half?
    Even angels would marvel—how can this be what they deserve?

  • Nigeria's minister of works David Umahi's daughter graduates with first class from UK university

    This is the same man that slashed the salary of teachers in Ebonyi State.

    The same man that refused to invest in public education in Ebonyi State.

    The poor masses will always bear the brunt.

    Congratulations to your beautiful daughter!

  • OPEN LETTER:
    STOP THE SHAMEFUL "MARKER DAY OR SIGN OUT" IN OUR SECONDARY SCHOOLS

    To: Parents, School Administrators, Teachers, Students, and the Ministry of Education

    My name is Muhsin Jibo Maigoro, a graduate of Mathematics Education. I write this open letter with deep concern and disappointment over the rising trend of an event called "Marker Day" across secondary schools in our country, especially during final examinations like NECO and WAEC.

    This is not a celebration of academic success. It is an open display of indiscipline, immorality, and disrespect to everything our education and culture stand for.

    What Is Marker Day?

    On this day, students:

    Tear or write all over their school uniforms, pour powder or paint on each other, and dance in the streets with no control or direction.

    Roam around the school compound and community in a noisy, chaotic, and sometimes violent way.

    Disrespect teachers, insult school authorities, and ignore school rules.

    Worse still, some students harass their fellow female classmates who choose not to participate. They forcefully hold them, pour substances on them, and write on their uniforms and bodies against their will. Many of these girls cry, struggle, and try to fight back, but they are outnumbered and embarrassed in public.

    This is not celebration. This is harassment, abuse, and disgrace.

    Why Marker Day Must End:

    1. It Destroys Our Cultural Values:

    Our culture promotes respect, discipline, and modesty. Marker Day mocks all these values in the name of "celebration."

    2. It Goes Against Our Religion:

    Whether you are Muslim or Christian, no religion encourages indecent dressing, public harassment, or damaging your school uniform as a form of joy.

    3. It Harms Our Children:

    Instead of learning responsibility, they are taught that lawlessness is fun. This affects both the guilty and the innocent, especially girls who are bullied and humiliated.

    My Humble Appeal and Call to Action:

    TO PARENTS:

    Wake up. Be aware of what your children are doing after their final exams.

    Don’t fund Marker Day clothes or give money to encourage this shameful activity.

    Teach your children to celebrate achievements with dignity, gratitude, and fear of God.

    TO SCHOOL HEADS AND ADMINISTRATORS:

    Ban Marker Day completely. It has no place in any serious academic institution.

    Protect the safety and rights of every student, especially those who refuse to participate and are being targeted by their peers.

    Enforce discipline and restore your school's honor.

    TO TEACHERS:

    Raise your voice in your classrooms. Condemn this behavior.

    Educate students that success is shown through results, not through torn uniforms or reckless behavior.

    TO THE MINISTRY OF EDUCATION:

    Like Yobe State has done, issue a state wide ban on Marker Day celebrations in all schools.

    Monitor and penalize any school that allows this kind of gathering to happen.

    Education is for building character, not for encouraging violence and public disgrace.

    TO STUDENTS:

    Respect yourselves and others. Your exam results matter more than how loudly you celebrated.

    Do not harass your classmates or force anyone to join Marker Day. That is bullying, and it is shameful.

    Wear your uniform with pride. It represents your journey, not something to be torn or defaced.

    Let us act now. Let us protect the image of our schools and the future of our children.
    We must not normalize public disorder and call it celebration. If we care about education, values, and the next generation, then Marker Day must stop, now and forever.

    "So after the two men brought Lot and his family out of the city, one of the men said, “Now run to save your life! Don’t look back at the city, and don’t stop anywhere in the valley. Run until you are in the mountains. If you stop, you will be destroyed with the city!” Genesis 19:17[ ERV].

    The problem that a lot of people have is that they expect to be babysat for life! Some people have been helped up to university first degree level; they get upset that no one has helped them to get a job or secure a Master's Degree. Some have been helped to marry, they get upset that no one is helping them to train their children. Some have been helped to go abroad, they refuse to hustle for survival, they fold their hands in the land of opportunities to beg and complain! Hebrews 5:12 [WNT] captures the picture of some of us: *"For although, considering the long time you have been believers, you ought now to be teachers of others, you really need some one to teach you over again the very rudiments of the truths of God, and you have come to require milk instead of solid food."* This applies to so many in different ways. *There is an extent that God and people will help you! At a certain level, you must wake up and start using your God-given and people assisted resources, talents, trainings and experience to run away from poverty, ignorance, joblessness, sin, sickness and stagnation!* Ruuuuuunnnnnn your race, escape for your life and become the best. Oh dear Lord I thank you for how far out I have been brought, help me to run and continue running till the end in Jesus Christ name. Amen! Good morning.

  • "Transforming Nigeria's Education: 6 Priority Areas Under Tinubu"

    1. Budgetary Allocation: Tinubu's administration allocated N2.18 trillion (7.9% of the total budget) to education in his first year and N3.52 trillion (7.07% of the 2025 national budget) in his second year. Although stakeholders argue this is still inadequate, it's a step towards prioritizing education.

    2. TVET Investment: Tinubu launched a revitalized TVET program, establishing 50 new TVET centers across 30 states with modern facilities and industry-aligned curricula. This aims to bridge the skills gap and empower youth.

    3. TETFUND Transformed: TETFUND continues to play a crucial role in providing infrastructure and capacity building for tertiary institutions. Tinubu's administration has leveraged TETFUND to support research and development, stimulating innovations and product development.

    4. NELFUND: The National Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) offers zero-interest loans to eligible undergraduates, providing financial relief and unlocking opportunities for higher education. Over 550,000 loan applications have been processed, disbursing ₦56.85 billion.

    5. Curriculum for the Real World: Tinubu's administration aims to overhaul the curriculum to make it more relevant and competitive globally. This includes promoting Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, and Medical Sciences (STEMM) education.

    6. Digital Transition and Innovation: The administration has invested in digital teaching tools, training over 50,000 teachers by 2025. This ensures teachers are equipped to deliver quality education in the 21st century. The DOTS project also aims to track student progress and provide data-driven interventions. Etc

  • *Beware of PEDOPHILES This Holiday Season*

    "This is lecture note to be delivered at every home

    Father should call his children together and deliver this lecture

    Mother should call her female children and drive down the point.

    *Pedophile* is everywhere.

    Parents, long Holiday is around the corner, *wake up*

    *What is Pedophilia?*

    Pedophilia is a psychiatric disorder in which an adult or older adolescent experiences a primary or exclusive sexual attraction towards children/a child.

    _*Who is a child?*_

    A child is anyone below the age of 18. Also note that children are gifts from God and He expect us as earthly guardians to take proper Care of each and every one of them.

    One of our major duties is to keep them away from these patients called paedophiles.

    There are different ways children can be abused. Below are some:

    *CHILD MOLESTATION!*

    Child Molestation is also known as child sexual abuse. It is a secret crime involving a range of indecent sexual activities between an adult and a child.

    *TYPES OF MOLESTATION:*
    -Defilement
    -Rape
    -Fingering
    -Making a child watch pornography
    -Exposing the genital to kids
    -Indecent touching
    -Fondling etc

    *WHO COULD ABUSE YOUR CHILD?*

    *ANYBODY*

    Studies show that over 95% of sexually abused children are abused by persons known or close to the child or the child's family.

    *ABUSERS ARE MOSTLY NOT STRANGERS.*

    They are right there in your house, co-tenants, family members, lesson teachers, neighbours. Their friends in school, hostel, classmates,class/school teachers, cousins, uncles, nephew, niece, fathers, step fathers, grand fathers, imams, choir masters, pastors, confidants, security guard, maids, family /school drivers, After school teachers , teachers, mummy's friend, daddy's friend, caregivers, strangers........ the list can go on.

    Please, do not ask if any of the above is possible because, there is no case of any of the above that has not happened.

    *CAUSES OF CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE*

    Parental negligence, carelessness, non- challant attitude.
    It is as bad as No one can be trusted.

    We have a child presently carrying a baby that belongs to her father.

    *OTHER CAUSES:*
    Absentee parents.
    Parents who do not observe.
    When the kids are not informed.....
    What you watch with your kids.
    Indecent dressing by our children.

    *WHERE CAN YOUR CHILD BE SEXUALLY ABUSED?*
    ✓On your bed
    ✓Right under your nose, under your roof
    ✓In the school environment- class, toilet etc
    ✓Hostel
    ✓Parties
    ✓In their room (siblings)
    ✓Deserted/Abandoned places
    ✓ When you are distracted etc.

    Perpetrators look for opportunities.
    5mins is enough to cause a life long damage.

    *HOW DO PAEDOPHILES GET THE VICTIMS?*
    1.Grooming
    2.Baits
    a. Emotional bait
    b. Gift bait
    c. Financial bait
    d. Familiarity & Respect bait.
    3. Child grooming
    Befriending and establishing an emotional connection with a child, and sometimes the family, to lower the child's inhibitions with the objective of sexual abuse. -Wikipedia-
    Gaining the trust of a minor with the intention of having sex relationship with them.

    *HOW TO IDENTIFY A POSSIBLE ABUSER:*
    A. Always trying to be around your child or vice versa
    B. Child feels uncomfortable when he/she sights the abuser or when the abuser is around.
    C. Easily and conveniently accept to care for your child while you are away.
    D. Can be hard on the child especially if the child is rejecting his moves.

    If any of the above is observed, please, shine your eyes. Or sometimes, your child might feel uncomfortable/rejecting to go to the person when you send him or her Or even go for holiday.

    Sexual abuse happens among sibblings, set rules, separate their rooms, separate their beds.

    We had a case of twins having sex with each other. When they were asked, they said: we see mum and dad do same.

    Why should we be that careless?

    Because of the carelessness of both parents, their innocent minds were polluted and their lives were destroyed.

    *WHAT A PERPETRATOR SAYS TO A CHILD WILLING TO SPEAK OUT:*
    •I will kill you
    •You will die
    •Your mummy will hate you
    . No one will marry you if they know
    •Your mummy will beat you
    •Your mummy will blame you.
    •Your mummy and your daddy will die.
    •He could cut the child, lick the blood and say: this is a blood convenant between us, the day you tell is the day you die.

    Teach your child The *SRR* action.

    *S - Shout/scream*
    *R - Run*
    *R - Report*

    Cheers!!!"

  • TEACHERS, UPGRADE OR STEP ASIDE

    No matter what subject you teach… no matter where you work… if you truly want to survive and grow in this profession, you must upgrade yourself.

    If you know deep down that you don’t have full mastery of your subject, don’t just sit there—do something about it. Study. Practice. Learn. Or simply quit.

    Yes, quit. Because if you stay without improving, the world of teaching will humiliate you in ways you can’t imagine. You will become a joke to school owners. They’ll delay your salary without apology, treat you like trash, trample on your rights, and still expect you to smile. You won’t be promoted. You won’t be respected. And you definitely won’t be paid well.

    But when you know your stuff—when you become a master of your craft—you become a boss. And guess what? No school dares to mess with a boss. If they try to, you walk away and another school—one that values you—will open their doors and offer you more. Because excellence is attractive. Good market sells itself.

    In fact, when you’re really good, you won’t need to beg. School owners will chase you—because they know what you bring to the table.

    So please, stop complaining and start working on yourself. Learn new skills. Master technology. Develop your communication. Do everything you can to become better than you were last year.

    Because here’s the truth: many teachers are stuck in t0xic schools not because there are no better places—but because they simply can’t pass interviews elsewhere. And that’s why they endure $uffering year after year.

    So, I say this with all the love in my heart: If you cannot learn, if you cannot grow, if you cannot evolve—please quit teaching.

    Because if you don’t, this profession will br€ak you… silently and pa!nfully.

  • ST0P R0BBING YOUR STUDENTS BECAUSE YOU WANT TO SAVE COST!

    Enough is enough!

    How can one teacher be teaching Mathematics from JSS1 to SS3 AND Further Mathematics from SS1 to SS3? Are they a robot? A machine? Do you want to klll them?

    You want excellent results, yet you load one person with the job of five teachers. Maths and Physics are taught almost every day, yet you cram a teacher’s timetable with periods from morning till closing! When do you expect them to mark scripts? Prepare lessons? Counsel struggling students? Attend meetings? Set exams? Do lesson plans? Rest their brains?

    This is not a school — it’s a prison yard. It’s not management — it’s pure wickedne$$!

    I once taught Maths from JSS1 to SS3 and Physics from SS1 to SS3. Let me be honest: I couldn’t give my best. I had no time to research, no time for experiments, no time to truly break things down for the weak students. I was always tired, frustrated, and drained. Even God rested after creation. Why can’t teachers?

    One teacher should not have more than three periods in a day — two is even better! Because after teaching, we still mark, record scores, counsel students, and sometimes still have to act like parents to them.

    If your school fees cannot pay enough staff to reduce workload, close the school or you pay from your personal fund until your school grows … Because when it grows , you will enjoy the profit alone!

    Don’t build an empire on the sweat and mental breakdown of your teachers.
    And definitely, don’t ch€at your students just because you want to save money!
