Corps Member Donates ₦2,000 to Principal’s Party but Ends Up Washing Plates

An NYSC corps member serving at a secondary school in Nasarawa State has recounted her unpleasant experience at her principal’s retirement party after contributing ₦2,000 towards the celebration but allegedly ended up without food.

The corps member shared how she and other junior teachers were reportedly treated during the send-off party organised in honour of a retiring senior staff member.

According to her narration, the school principal had instructed all teachers to contribute ₦2,000 each towards the event. She explained that she made her payment because she did not want to have issues with the school management.

However, what happened on the day of the celebration left her disappointed.

She disclosed that jollof rice and a large cake were provided for the occasion, but alleged that the food was exhausted before it got to the junior teachers. While senior teachers reportedly enjoyed their meals inside the staff room, she and other junior staff members were left outside under the sun.

To make matters worse, the corps member claimed that rather than being offered food, the junior teachers were eventually asked to wash the plates used during the celebration and arrange the chairs after the event.

She expressed disappointment over the treatment, especially as she had contributed financially towards organising the party but allegedly received nothing in return.

After the incident, she reportedly discussed the experience with a colleague serving at the same school. However, the colleague revealed that such treatment was not new, claiming that it had become a yearly occurrence during similar celebrations.

The colleague subsequently advised her not to contribute money to such events in the future, suggesting that she should simply explain that she had no money whenever such requests were made.

Reflecting on the incident, the corps member concluded her narration with a statement that summed up her disappointment: “I have learnt my lesson.”
