The contestant, a Kwara state-based teacher with over 10 years of experience in teaching obtained her NCE from the Kwara State College of Education, Oro and a B. Ed (Educational Management) from the University of Ilorin.
For another contestant, Obidinma Chinenye, the show as a platform has also opened doors for her while placing her on a high pedestal she least expected.
Chinenye said although she did not win the contest, participating in the show means a lot to her and has changed her life for the better.
She said:
"Not winning hasn't been the most important especially for my family, friends, relatives and colleagues. In fact, nobody talks about my not winning but of all the good things I did while in the house."
"That's really worth it and it means a lot for me."
Ebosete Victoria, another contestant on the teachers' reality show said she was glad when she made it to the last day of the show.
She also noted that life after the show has been a process which she believes has a lot more to unveil for her.
According to Victoria, one of the tasks which were given to the contestants during the show; 'No Child Must Be Left Out', has also helped her to understand some of her students.
She said everything she learned from the show have come to play in her daily work activities.
Victoria said:
"Now, in my class, I have a child with slight disability. For a teacher who is not trained to handle children with special needs, it wasn;t easy at first. But the show helped me in handling this particular child and it's been a wonderful relationship between both of us since then."
For Shadrack Amawo, who was also the last man standing at the show, it has been a whole lot of experience as people now address him as "the celebrity teacher".
Amawo said like Victoria, the No Child Must Be Left Out task has helped him with handling some of the slow learners in his class.
He also informed the attendees at the dinner that he has created a platform with which he monitors his students' performance in order to know what each child needs specifically.
Amawo said:
"For the two children who are slow learners in my class, what I did is that I brought them to my table so we sit and work togetehr and there has been a lot of improvement with them."
Also speaking at the event, the convener of the show, Enuagwuna Ubaka, said this second season of Teachers' Naija Reality TV Show is a testament that teachers' development and welfare is possible in Nigeria.
Ubaka said with the show, his team hopes to get more teachers registered with the TRCN where they can be highly recognised and have access to greater opportunities.
He said:
"The teachers of the second season of the show has actually made us very very proud. We also promise not to betray the trust that has been bestowed on us by the TRCN."
"We hope to do more with the next season, and we encourage teachers to register with the TRCN because that is one of the criteria that qualifies them to apply for the show."
The winner of the show, Gloria Odutola; the first runner up, Mary Oduntola and the second runner up, Roseline Oyin-Adejiobi were all presented with awards of excellence at the dinner.
