At times I wish God could look away just for a few minutes while I act a rogue than my real self. Sometimes you feel too good to be good, like you wish you have the heart to do even some wicked things, yet you always find yourself on the right side if there are any sides at all.
About six years ago before my last teaching practice, I had a strong God help me through, a kind of fight with one of my superiors. Well if you are a Nigerian student you will understand that I am not talking about physical combat. To clear my statement above I will say it was a kind of misunderstanding, but for the fact that I lost then it should be called a fight.
Weeks before our final teaching practice there are usually rounds for observation where the to-be teacher observes the teachers in practice. We study the school structure, the managerial functions, the regulations and possible punishments, teaching and teaching methods, class interactions among many others. Then one of our superiors called for orientation before the observation with attendance mandatory. Many students turned up, nobody wanted to fail, we were almost all on ground that day. The orientation was smooth, questions were asked and answered but a question got almost all the students attention, the question was based on the duration of the observation. The student asked “Sir, how long should we observe?” He replied that we are to visit two different schools in groups of not less than five but not more than ten. He said the program is for two weeks at least you must visit the school twice in all of 2weeks. Then the same lady asked again “sir, does this mean we can do it all in 4days under a week/?” He said yes you can but you must visit two different schools twice and report your observations black and white.
After the long talk the orientation came to an end, all students got their letters in groups as assigned to different schools. Then after two weeks we all submitted our reports. This was where my personal value of the honest and truthful guy dropped me in the ocean and almost drowned me. Our superior was surprised we all submitted without pleading for extra time or days to complete our report. He asked if we finished it in four days and requested that all students that finished It in four days should indicate by standing up, more than half of the whole class stood up excluding my group and a few other groups then he declared that they had all failed.
Commotion in the hall as every one opened up that they did that because he approved of it at the orientation but our superior denied ever saying that. After a long lamentation in the hall, the superior asked that if you know I truly said that you can finish your observation in four days kindly stand. I stood up and so did almost everyone else, then within the blink of an eye every other person was seated except me. I turned back and they were all like I should sit and forget the whole thing but no way, will that me in me make me sit and give in to injustice. Then he came to me, he said my name need not be mentioned for he knows my full name but the only thing he fell short of was my matriculation number but I refused giving that out.
The issue of his injustice escalated and he was brought to justice but he made sure I came back, he gave me extra luggage that I nearly got no way out of but thank God he never stayed in power for long too, other nemesis of his past deeds did cut up with him and I was exonerated.
