Kenyan comedian Dem Wa Facebook has shared her opinion on why she thinks teaching has to be the worst career that anyone can consider venturing into.
The content creator who was saying this during their weekly show alongside her ‘Online Babe’, Oga Obinna, said that teaching is actually bad because it pays very poorly of all the other careers in the world that exist.
“Walimu wanalipwa vibaya sana Kenya!” Dem Wa Facebook said.
This comes after teachers staged a strike, demanding not to go back to school until their demands were heard.
In supporting her statement, Dem Wa Facebook paused a question asking if there’s any woman who has a ‘Mubaba’ sponsoring her lifestyle.
“Ukitaka kujua walimu hawanaga pesa sijai ona dem anasema ako na mbaba mwalimu… serikalia tafadhali. We need teachers; najaribu tuh kukuambia ukitaka kujua kuna mahali hakuna pesa uliza tuh wanawake.” Dem Wa Facebook said.
She further explained that teachers do indeed do a lot to see that they deliver on their end, and the least the government should do is ensure that they listen to their demands.
