A picture of a secondary school teacher kneeling in class and writing on the board went viral, garnering a lot of attention on social media. The teacher is seen kneeling in the picture, which was posted on X (previously Twitter), to guarantee that his students’ view of the board is unhindered throughout the class.
The educator captioned the image:
I do not want to obstruct my pupils’ view. You will always find a way to be happy when you are passionate about what you do ?. God bless our hustle.
The post immediately became popular and sparked a range of internet responses.
- @TheRoyalHerbs: “You can always bend down instead of kneeling. However, do what is convenient for you. God bless the work of your hand and reward your passion.”
- @urchyberry: “Teaching shouldn’t be this stressful. With digital tools like projectors, you wouldn’t need to block the board. Nigeria needs to catch up with advanced methods.”
- @boy_in_prime: “This is unprofessional. You could write and then give them time to copy. Posting this online feels more like a bid for engagement.”
- @Invaluablemoi: “Well done! You’re doing an amazing job training the leaders of tomorrow.”
- @Tayvon_Yung: “This tweet took me back to my teaching days. I always did my best to ensure the kids understood the basics. Well done, Mr. Tope.”

The widely shared tweet has rekindled discussions on teaching strategies, the enthusiasm of teachers, and the need for improved educational resources in Nigeria.
