Omo, you no go believe wetin dey happen for Kwara State! Teachers dey vex, like say dem no go school again! Dem don carry placards, march waka for street, dey shout about their wahala with di government.

Di gist be say, dis teachers no gree smile at all because dem no dey included for dis new 30% peculiar salary allowance wey dem give to other state workers. E be like say dem no fit chop their own part of di cake, while others dey enjoy am. Chai, wetin make dem feel like say dem dey neglected like one old shoe for corner?

One of di protesters, wey wan represent wetin dem dey feel, talk say dem go wey di Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT) leadership no dey carry their matter for head. E get as e be when you no get anybody wey fit reason with you about your own matter, na so dem dey feel lonely for dis matter.

“We dey protest against di NUT leadership because dem no dey represent us well. We want make dem implement dis 30% peculiar allowance for teachers now now!” dem talk like say dem dey write letter to Santa Claus.

As dem dey protest, di placards wey dem carry no be small o! Messages dey plenty wey show how dis economic wahala dey affect dem. One of di placards talk say: “Economic hardships of Kwara teachers dey escalate daily due to poor payment. Implement 30% peculiar allowance in addition to TSA for teachers now!” E sweet like sugar, but e no fit put food for table o!

Another placard dey shout say: “We dey tire for di loans wey we dey borrow just to survive. Kwara teachers’ wage payment na far cry from wetin dey happen for dis country. Enough is enough!!!” Na true talk dem dey talk, because e no easy to dey chop life when your salary dey dance waka.

SaharaReporters don gather say dis no be di first time wey dem go dey protest dis matter, as dem don gather on December 23, 2025, do same wahala. Dem waka go NUT Kwara State Secretariat for Asa Dam Road dey sing solidarity songs, as dem dey shout say dem dey frustrated and neglected.

One of di teachers wey dey vex, wey dem call Olayinka, talk say dem dey try show di state government and di teachers’ union leadership say no be joke matter. “We dey protest against Kwara NUT leadership for di way dem dey treat us like say we be second-class citizens. How dem go give other workers 30%, come leave teachers wey dey mold di future of Nigeria?” Omo, e dey touch heart!

Another teacher don follow talk say di exclusion dey make dem dey feel inferior to other civil servants. “We dey hear say 30% don approve, but if teachers no dey included, wetin be our own? 27% we get no be di same as 30%,” e talk with plenty passion.

Abeg, make dem no forget say di NUT Kwara State leadership come dey distance demself from di protest, talk say dem no authorize am. E no easy o! Dem come warn say anybody wey waka go protest no go fit claim say dem represent di teachers. Dem dey talk say di NUT dey appreciate di state government for di allowances wey dem don approve, but teachers no go fit chop alone.

In all dis wahala, we go still dey follow di matter as e dey go, because na di education wey fit change di whole of Naija. Make we dey pray say correct resolution go happen for di Kwara teachers, because dem deserve their bread and butter!
