Diary of Nigerian living in Poland

Hurray, it was teacher’s day in Poland on Friday and I had just dropped off from call with my both parents who I admire their traditional and affectionate style of teaching. During the call I had praised them for their doggedness and discipline in which they tried so hard to instil in their students. Being a passionate teacher as well with Contemporary cum traditional experience in teaching right from Nigeria and here in Poland, we had engaged and shared experiences in the teaching department and education in toto. Among the many topics discussed, I had recalled to my Dad and Mum with great reminiscence how they would usually mark the papers of the “Supposed Best Student” [1] first and use it as a marking scheme or yardstick for the rest of the students. This in no way denies the fact that the supposed best student might be the best student indeed. Of course, there were marking schemes provided by the educational board and this was less used in most cases and depending on the course

Generally, respect for some people could be something one earns as a result of your experience in a field of expertise, or as a superior in a particular field of studies. For instance, people of the same level and of the same age in the same field would have to respect one of their mates who is made a Superior to them. Also, one could earn respect from people for an outstanding work or humane act to the society or to fellow human beings. In the same vein, while respect could be earned in different ways, the author’s intent is to unveil the respect from the perspective of age that could be experienced in both parallel cultures; Poland and Nigeria. Whereas Poland shares a homogenous culture across the cities, Nigeria on the other hand has a more diverse but Pluralistic culture. One of the significant bonding features in Nigeria and Africa in general are; sense of respect for the elders, sacredness of life, value for communal living and community integrations. Nowadays, some of the

  Polish Traditions in Easter; Introduction The period of Easter is generally seen as a period of Joy and family-bonding. In some countries, there’s usually a bank holiday in this period. Whereas some students have break from school during this period, some other workers observe some break in this period. Easter is an important season for Christians and for some other religions like Islam, this period usually falls within the period of Ramadan fasting. The Orthodoxy as well is not left out as well in this period as they have a slightly different calendar in the celebration of Easter. Their Easter is usually 1 one week after the Catholic's. Many Catholic Countries mark this day as a special day in a special way and there is break from lots of activities. For example, In Poland, Shops are closed from noon on Holy Saturday until Easter Tuesday. The Economic impact or critiques on this is never the intent of the writer. How is Easter Celebrated in Poland? Are there some Spe

  Hello Dad and Mum😊💖, I have been meaning to write and tell the World about your ‘Vocation and avocation’ [1] as a teacher on social media, but on a second thought, I said but you are not on social media and may not be able to see such constructions that fascinate you. On a long run, I couldn’t hold my pen when I had reminiscence on how excited and amazed you would be on reading the lines of your Students who made powerful and logical constructions. In your words, you would say DG as you fondly call my mum, listen to this line as he reads again and again repeating the same extra-ordinary sentences that struck his imaginations; blessings of a grandchildren thereof. (I am sure your grandchild would read this to you both or maybe you would ask for it to be printed for you, I can only imagine how happy and excited you both are💕💋) Well, I am unoblivious of the religious-dimension of the word vocation especially before the 16 th century. But in my own opinion after a detailed classifi

  Well, the weather in the last 3days in Poland and some eastern Europe is still an unexpected bliss for many who have just dusted off their winter Boots and brought out their Jackets based on the seeming winter Cold of last 2weeks. As usual, when the weather is warm and bright, the parks and beaches are smiling with the number of people coming to say hello “Cześć 😊 . It is on such weather that love birds fly together and singles dream about love in their fantasy as they approach the seaside especially on seeing those who are gifted with roadside romance and cuddling. However, the aim of this short write-up is not to discourage any of the above in anyway but to narrate an important lesson the author had encountered today. Day by day human beings learn and this learning is more intrinsic when one learns from his immediate environment. As a lover of Polish Culture and tradition, I have a special interest in impacting in the environment I have found himself so also you too. Below i
