A story of my confused state

  2018, I moved to Ogun state and had to seek employment in a school within my vicinity. As a Lagos teacher, I was used to a vibrant class, swift answers and mushy acts by my students. So I resumed at my new work place with that fully charged energy. The first day got me confused. I was to teach the primary classes, I started my class and it was obvious these children were not following. They could neither understand what I was saying nor did they show any bit of interest. It was then I knew I had to start from the scratch. First, I had to create a connection. I wanted them to understand that I am first their friend. I needed to set the foundation that they can have both a friend and teacher in one. After that, I came down to their level. I made them feel and appreciate every little progress they made. I built up their interest in education. We worked together, applying several strategies I discovered and created, and within some month the growth was evident. Eureka is a book that ...

HOW I LOST MY JOB

HOW I LOST MY JOB (2016) The company's new managing director called me into his office. MD: Titi I'm very sure you're aware of the financial setback this company is facing and right now all hands ought to be on deck towards restructuring the company. Me: Yes Sir MD: Right now I need people that can get me ten million naira per month through marketing and the way I'm seeing you, you can't befriend those men that can put money into this business. Or can you? Me: No Sir MD: Well, I need those who can go to any length to get me that money. In that case your service is no longer needed here... I couldn't get another job for months until February when I got the teaching job, I was told I'm going to be paid an amount which is my previous salary divided by 3. I was already crying inside me, it was like a grace to grass story but man has gat no choice so I accepted it. I knew if I was to base my teaching on my salary it won't turn out well so I had to...

Why is God so wicked?

#LengthyPost Today I was thinking about all my years on earth and lessons I've learnt. I remembered the day I wholeheartedly prayed to for death. I so wanted to die since I found every second of my stay on earth useless. Now a thought popped up in my mind " what if God answers all prayers" That means I would have been long forgotten. We often ask "Why didn't God answer my prayers?" "why did He let this happen?" Is God a wicked God?. Why does He turn deaf ears sometimes to our pleas I watched a movie yesterday. A young man bore bitter feeling of resentment toward God just because he prayed to God to save his father and yet he died. A priest told him God is just like our parents. They love and care for you yet they don't give you everything you ask for. Not because they don't have it but because they see what you don't see. I remember as a child I had at one point disliked my parents because I felt they didn't do thing...

SELF LOVE

From the creation story in Gen 1:26, we learnt God created man in his own image and likeness, no wonder the bible says in Ps 82:6 that "I have said, ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most high". On the 9th April in church the word SELF LOVE was dropped in my spirit and after meditating on it I got some revelation about it. Rom 5:8 "But God shows his Love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us", have you ever pondered on why God instructed Christ to die for us because of our sins. Why did he still love us despite our wicked ways. That was SELF LOVE in action, when God looks at us he sees Himself because he created us in his image and likeness. Despite our sins, He couldn't bring himself to hate us because he keeps seeing himself in us, no wonder he had to sacrifice his only begotten son for our sake. Eph 5:25 "Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her". The church isn...

EVEN IF YOUR FEET IS IN IT, YOUR HEAD MUST BE ABOVE IT

Mystery has always been an essential quality of  life. Sometimes,it's the bedrock of things beyond our field of vision or our scope of comprehension. What inspired me to write this is an interview I heard on the radio. Truly,if you can think it,then you can do/be it. The interviewee was a man who had some defects. He's deaf and can't speak well. Despite this,he knows whatever people are saying. You'd wondering how he does this. He lip- reads,that is,looking at the movements of the mouth in order to be able to fathom out what the person is saying. This,to me,is intriguing. Now,to the main quality the man has-I call it an inventor's brain. During the interview,I got to know that the man actually made a DVD player by himself using the local materials at his disposal. Before he did this,he went to learn how to repair electronic appliances for three months. The DVD player works well and he sells it for 3,000 naira. Then,he stopped selling it be...

HOW TO COPE WITH SLOW LEARNERS

I remember my first experience with a slow learner. At first I thought he was just lazy but later I realised it wasn't laziness. He was always quite, doesn't answer questions in class and rarely relate with his peers. Within months of my stay in the school I started noticing some changes in my boy. He now attempts assignment and classwork given. He talks in class and now relates well with his classmates. The trick is to first make them feel safe in class rather than make your expectations a burden to them. Over the years I've had to teach slow Learners and it has been a wonderful experience. The link below is a podcast where I talked on how to cope with Slow Learners. It's a ten minutes audio that summarizes strategies you can put in place when you have a slow learner in class. If you have questions, I'll be glad to answer them. https://anchor.fm/MissDairo%20/episodes/How-to-cope-with-Slow-Learners-ef5bj4 Don't forget to leave a comment and share w...

FOODS THAT PROMOTE A CHILD'S GROWTH AND ABILITIES

A balanced diet of nutritious food is the key to a child's healthy growth and development. No food or food group will suddenly add inches to an aspiring dancer. Human growth depends on different organs and processes working together. A balanced diet of grains, fruits, vegetables, and proteins such, as milk, eggs, and meats, provides essential nutrients to all parts of the body so that every inch and pound gained is a healthy inch and pound. Breads and Grain Products Carbohydrates provide the energy kids need to grow and thrive. doctors recommends that about 60 percent of the calories children consume each day should come from carbohydrates found in whole-grain breads, pasta, waffles ,and cereals, both hot and cold. Grain-based foods that have undergone the least amount of processing and refining deliver the highest levels of nutrition to children. It's almost impossible to go wrong with oatmeal, although the instant varieties have high amounts of added sugar. Other food...
