Yesterday, I decided to go watch a fellow "corper" take his revsion class. It was quite interesting. I learnt a number of things and made some strategic changes to how I'll handle my own classes. I am excited that my own class wouldn't be the first. I wanted to have an idea of the profile of the students. Thank God I got that.
Initially, I was afraid that i'd have to translate every word into Hausa. This wouldn't have been funny because I'm still making silly mistakes like saying "good morning" in the evening. It is interesting to know that they speak well. That reminded me the people this part of the nation have the best diction for English language. No wonder Cyril Stoba is still a choice presenter on NTA network service.I love the way they pronounce their words.
I can say every preconceived idea I had about them has changed. It is a complete community bearing every feature of the so called urban community. Students using headphones, viewing centers, cyber cafés around, students do assignment and submit via email. Honestly, this would be more fun than I anticipated. I look forward into the heart of the matter.
One more thing worthy of note is their hunger and thirst for God. My colleague led a prayer and I decided to look around, all heads were bowed and eyes closed. You can hardly get that kind of hunger down south. I trust that God will help me appropriate such desire so it isn't harnessed for the wrong use. They are potential firey foxes that can set the nation ablaze
