Ghanaian teachers are most useless people – I’m glad I’m not a teacher’- Captain Smart

The comment… “The most useless people in Ghana are teachers, I’m glad I’m not a teacher” by Captain Smart, the Radio and TV personality, born Blessed Godsbrain Smart has gone viral since his pronouncement.

His labeling of Ghanaian teachers as the most useless people in Ghana has further divided the chalk fraternity.

He made the pronouncements on his morning show on Onua FM. He stated emphatically that teachers are not rewarded for their hard work.

They receive peanuts for every sacrifice they make for the education of learners and that, to worsen the case, politicians take undue advantage of them.

According to him, the current and previous governments failed to improve the lives of teachers, financial rewards due to them were never given rather, they have been exploited by politicians when elections are due.

Reasons for ” The most useless people in Ghana are teachers” comment

“The most useless people in Ghana are teachers. I thank God I am not a teacher. When you pressurize a hungry man, he will come after you.”

“What is happening is really bad. 21st century and the teacher who crosses a river to go out to teach. You increase teachers salaries by 4% whiles you increase yours by 79%. Afterward, you tell the teachers they can’t be millionaires.

“All teachers must stop teaching and find another job. You are in this country and telling teachers they are stupid.

Teachers salary was just increased by Ghc20. I love you but you have failed”, he said on his morning show.

In a related development, some teachers who feel the GNAT is not performing have questioned why they must continue to pay dues. They have called on GNAT to halt the collection of dues and instruct the Controller and Accountant General not to deduct dues from their pay. The heated call has been captured in our earlier story ” Halt the GNAT dues collection now! – GNAT told Commentators on the story had this to say

“I think the move for suspending the collection of GNAT due is in place. I am strongly in support if they are able to fight for the right cause. Why not, we shall restore the payment of the dues so they can also benefit from their labour.”

In fact, you have hit on the head of the nail l really like the spirit; we are not in normal times, therefore, we can not be paying our normal due, this leadership must be collapsed they’re too egocentric. This is unthinkable to see leadership on the negotiation table going in for 4 percent. This is totally unacceptable.

“Well-spoken my brother, that is the actual truth to our leaders who do not have time for the teachers who pay them and the family. I support the move.”

Teachers in Ghana have endorsed the call for the GNAT to halt to collection of dues, however, will the leadership of the union succumb to the pressure?
