Fameye, a musician from Ghana, revealed that when he worked as a teacher, he received a salary of GH150.
The artist revealed during a conversation with Accra FM that he once held a teaching position at Mempeasem, a school in East Legon close to Trinity.
Fameye claims that the teacher took pleasure in working with children and frequently sang jamma songs for them. He also says that the students gave the teacher the moniker “Teacher Peter” because of their positive interactions with him.
“I have taught before at Mempeasem, located in East Legon around Trinity. With kids, you don’t need to do much, and I used to sing jamma for the children too much. I took the kids to the streets too much,” he shared.

Fameye spoke fondly of his time spent instructing young people and the pleasure he felt from it, but he also acknowledged that the headmistress of the school occasionally found his methods perplexing.
“Imagine teaching these East Legon children the songs I used to teach them. The headmistress used to ask me what I was doing. The children called me, ‘Teacher Peter.’ They used to pay me ¢150,” Fameye said.
Fameye is the stage name of Peter Famiyeh Bozah, a rapper and musician from Bogoso, Ghana. His single “Nothing I Get” is his most well-known work.
