The Legend Of The Stupid Teacher

The Legend of the Stupid teacher! You know that teacher…

The teacher whose class is hard as fork! That teacher who people can barely pass his class … I mean the failure rate is higher than a chicken trying to fly while simultaneously laying an egg…impossible.

But you know that teacher.

The Legend that no one understands because he is sounds so “intelligent”, like a mash up between Patrick Obahiagbon and sheer stupidity. That 50 shades of grey teacher that takes pleasure in seeing his students suffer again and again.

Everywhere he goes people whisper his name in excitement and awe. He struts around campus with his ass in the air and chest held high. Who can blame him though … he has been lied to his entire life. Told that he is the shit, that he is brilliant so he walks with an arrogance that hides the truth … the truth that he is an abject failure! A sad excuse for a teacher! An incompetent teacher!

But Nigeria, instead of exposing his stupidity we turn him into a Legend, with silly praises like “man that teacher is so brilliant nobody understands him” or “Men nobody can pass that class it’s just too tough, that Professor is good.”

But if we could pause for a moment and see the stupidity in our statements, then we can finally finally see the stupidity teaching us daily.

PS: Article dedicated to my Junior Secondary Mathematics Teacher … Mr. Adeagbo who believed that no matter who you were or what you knew that you could excel in Mathematics and he spent his time explaining and explaining till we all … every single one of us got it. Thanks for giving me a chance and making me what I am today … you are the real forking legend!
