She explained that the early closing time at her workplace is one of the benefits she enjoys the most. According to her, teachers in her school resume work around 7:30 a.m. and often close by 2:00 p.m.
Lady shares advantage of being government-school teacher
In the video, she compared the schedule with her previous job, where she usually closed by 4:00 p.m. and sometimes stayed longer to complete extra preparations. She noted that during that period, she often returned home after 6:00 p.m.
She said:
"If anyone had told me that I can work in a place where I will close by 2 o'clock, wallahi I will argue with you. You mean there is actually a work place where you will resume by 7:30 and you will close by 2? That is the biggest flex for me as a government school teacher.
Eh? Where I was working before, we usually close by 4. And then I do like extra prep and all those things. So I get home past 6. The first week of resumption, I got to my house by 2:20. And guess what? My estate security was like, ‘Kilo ṣẹlẹ? Ah, ki le wuro sọ?’ Like..."
The lady recalled that during her first week after resuming the teaching job, she arrived home around 2:20 p.m., which surprised the security guards in her estate who were used to seeing her return much later.

According to her, the early closing time allows her to rest and even explore other activities or small businesses after work.
She added:
"So I love being a teacher. I love being a government school teacher for the fact that I will close by 2 p.m. and get to my house latest by 2:20 if I'm not going anywhere else after school. So you just have that time to yourself, you can take, you can do businesses, you can do other things."
