Nigerians React As Teacher Demands ‘Self-Control Allowance’ From Govt (Video)

A Ghanaian teacher has stirred massive reactions online after publicly appealing to the Minister of Education to introduce a “self-control allowance” for male teachers, claiming it has become increasingly difficult to stay focused while teaching teenage girls.

In a now-viral video shared by @mayfred on X (formerly Twitter), the unidentified teacher humorously lamented that female students are now “too fine and tempting,” suggesting that male teachers deserve compensation for maintaining discipline and professionalism.

“Minister of Education, I stand for my colleagues because we teachers deserve a self-control allowance,” he said. “Looking at these young girls nowadays, we’re suffering. Imagine being a teacher without self-control, will you just let them go like that?”

His tongue-in-cheek remarks left many Nigerians on social media amused, with some laughing at his boldness and sense of humor. Others, however, slammed the statement as “highly inappropriate” and “unprofessional,” insisting that such jokes trivialize the ethical standards expected of teachers.
