Mrs. Asiedu Akrofi:
She was our English and Literature Teacher. She was older that most
of the teachers and she was very disciplined. She expected a lot
from her students. You would lose 10% of your points when you forget
to put the date, and would kneel in front of the class for forgetting to
do your homework. She always would encourage us to read and improve
our vocabulary. Often, she would bring candy (sweets) for her
favorite class, and you had to make sure the class was clean before her
period.
Mrs. Obadan:
This was a women I believe was at peace with herself. She expressed
herself freely in a very friendly manner and would say things many women
in that culture would not dare to say. There was a time she was
teaching and she said to a student in front of the class, "fine boy".
The boy was fine but it really made the class laugh. She was very
knowledgeable when it came to the subject of Economics. She actually
taught the chapters of the book without looking at it.
Mr. Onotole:
He was the Music teacher and was always very funny. He loved to play
the piano and was very good at organizing cultural dances and other
musical events. He was a no nonsense kind of guy and was very quick
to discipline students who erred. Aside from teaching classes, he
also tutored other outside on how to play the piano and I believe other
musical instruments. This was a good role model for us because it is
good to use your skills to acquire income outside of your regular job.
Mr. Omoregie:
He was our Wood-work teacher. He was not very tall but respected
himself. A lot of undisciplined students always made fun of him
because he was short, bald, and his English was not the best. The
truth of the matter was that he had a lot to offer. He understood
his field of study and he taught it very well. He was a very
compassionate man and he always bent over backwards to help his students
succeed. There was not a time we went to meet him for clarification
of a subject or a project that we did not get assistance beyond what was
expected.
Mr. Ehimen:
He was our Metal-work teacher and was very hardworking. While he was
teaching, he was also getting his education at the university. I
believe he was studying Engineering because a lot of students have
reported that they saw him there studying in the
evenings whenever they went there and some said he told them so. We
did a lot of projects with him, and he made us make various tools and
equipment using different metals.
