A corps member improved his students’ performance, earning recognition from his PPA with gifts of rice, oil, and cash, while sharing his joy and challenges in a heartfelt post that inspired admiration online.
A dedicated youth corps member proudly shared his story of improving students’ academic performance, which earned him a bag of rice, groundnut oil, and a cash gift from his Place of Primary Assignment (PPA) as a token of appreciation.
In a heartfelt post on X (formerly Twitter), he recounted how his teaching efforts helped transform his students’ results, with no failures recorded. He highlighted one student who went from struggling to achieving a distinction due to his extra tutoring sessions.
“Finished marking their scripts today, and they actually performed so well. There was this particular boy I was worried might fail. I would invite him to the staff room to repeat lessons for him. He got a distinction, and no student failed,” he wrote.
Despite his joy, the corps member expressed frustration over the NYSC allowance, stating: “NYSC does not deserve me. 33k. Sigh. 🤧”
In recognition of his dedication, his PPA surprised him with the thoughtful gifts, saying, “Thank you for being a good teacher to our students and Merry Christmas in advance.”
He also shared a humorous moment when students mimicked him at the school’s Christmas party, even in his absence. “At the Xmas party today, students were asked to mimic their favorite teachers, and I was mimicked. Funny thing is, I wasn’t even there, so colleagues were demonstrating what they did for me. Now the school board knows who I am.”
The post sparked widespread admiration on social media, with users praising his commitment and sharing their experiences:
• @ass_of_a_god: “Plase come and give one mudu. This is such a nice gesture. Where are you serving?”
• @meggiebangz: “Thanks for the love and support you’ve shown to the kids.”
• @dammymike07: “Na peck and hug I received from my own PPA ooo. And prayer too. This must be a big school sha.”
• @dammybee85: “Well done. This is great. You really invested so much in the students.”
Many commended his dedication and expressed confidence that the school would miss him after his service year ends.
