In her words:
"Please learn how to train your children well you learn to train your children well so that they don't carry curses that they're not supposed to carry and they don't end up failing at life and you're blaming your village people. I'm 23 I teach at a government school and I've been working here for a while now. I try my best to do what is good and do well at my job. I finished teaching SS1 today, I teach civic education and when I got to the class, I saw this guy in front of me, he was acting somehow I asked him is everything okay with you, he said yes everything is okay, so while I was teaching I saw him moving around, but I just asked him where are you going to, he shook his head like this and went back to his seat only for me to leave the class and he shouted 'you no even fine self'. I ignored, he came to the door and shouted you 'worwor'.
"Now as someone who's always struggling with body positivity and growing up around people who always commented on me, asked me if I was related to my siblings, you know, things like that. You know, and even being with people who always mocked me and made me feel worse about how I look, I just want to say that people should learn to spread more kindness and train your children. Because if with my pain I utter a word and curse this boy, it will definitely happen, don't you see? That's how curses work, you know. Because people are trying their best to do what they can to get along in life, and I'm just trying to figure out my life. So you cannot come here and just ruin my entire day, ruin my entire vibe. And I know that for something to affect me like this, it means that it's true or they believe it's true. And to an extent, you know, based on how my life has gone so far, I've continued to believe so. So I've been trying to, you know, speak affirmation, try and put myself together, make sure that I look okay. But to just hear that unprovoked. I try my best to be friendly. I mean, set quizzes, I'm very jovial, you know, very friendly. I try to not take this teaching thing too disciplinary, so you don't feel like it's the end of the world, because there's life after school, you get. But for some of you to have said that to me unprovoked, when I didn't even do anything to you, I didn't even say anything to you, it's just wild."
Commenting on the story, a Nigerian teacher, Ella Okoro, said disciplinary action needs to be taken regarding the student in question.
In her words:
"She let him go? That student shouldn't go gree like that. If not it will be a huge slap to the teachers of that school. How dare you say that to a teacher. What is this generation even turning into? You dare not try such during my time you will use your tongue to count your teeth."
