A PHCN staff was electrocuted at Kogberegbe Street, Isolo Lagos today. He was electrocuted while he was trying to fix the light. As of 2pm when I received these photos from a witness, the man was still up there. See them after the cut...
There is at the very least a severe disconnect between the different views, and the gap shows no sign of closing.
Almost every head teacher you speak to will regale you at length with the difficulties of getting enough decent applicants for a job.
Ministers point to national figures showing a stable teacher to pupil ratio.
But as the National Audit Office also points out today, in its understated way, the official statistics only tell you so much.
The number of vacancies or posts filled temporarily has doubled but is still at 1.2% of the workforce.
This doesn't tell us who is standing in front of that class.
Although, as this report makes clear, if it's physics the chances of it being someone who has only reached A-level have got greater.
Almost a third of secondary school physics classes in England are now being taught by someone without a degree in the subject.
And in computer science or Spanish it nudges over 40%.
Nuanced
Nor does the data tell us what is the right number of teachers, perhaps quite sensibly, because schools and their pupils vary so much.
Analysis for the NAO of similar primary schools with about 200 children found some had the equivalent of 12 full time teachers, while others had only 7.
That is quite a staggering difference.
It adds to the arguments for a more subtle and nuanced view of teacher recruitment than the headline figures.
Predicting how many teachers schools need against a background of rising pupil numbers and more emphasis on teaching core subjects isn't easy.
England's independent public spending watchdog is warning a better grasp of it is needed by officials.
And one thing is certain, if there are shortfalls in recruitment to teacher training now, they are likely to get worse if the economy improves any further.

Sunderland footballer Adam Johnson has pleaded guilty to one count of sexual activity with a child and one charge of grooming.
Appearing at Bradford Crown Court, the Sunderland winger also denied two charges of sexual activity with a girl aged under 16.
The 28-year-old from Castle Eden, County Durham, who has 12 England caps, was arrested in March 2015.
His case is due to be formally opened on Friday.
Kate Blackwell QC for the prosecution said the alleged incidents had taken place in or about the area of Castle Eden and Wingate.

Judge Jonathan Rose told the jury of six men and six women: "You may see reference to this in the press but it's the evidence in court that you will gather.
"This defendant has already pleaded guilty to two offences, you will hear more about them in detail when Miss Blackwell opens the case to you on Friday."
He said they must come to a decision on the remaining two charges.
"It will be for you and only you to determine if he is guilty or not guilty."
Mr Johnson, who was born in Sunderland, began his career at Middlesbrough before moving to Manchester City and then on to Sunderland for £10m in 2012.
West Ham manager Slaven Bilic has said he would rather win the FA Cup than finish in the Premier League top four, and he showed his intent by picking a near full-strength side against an inexperienced Liverpool team.
Reds counterpart Jurgen Klopp, as he had in his previous three FA Cup matches, rang the changes with only goalkeeper Simon Mignolet surviving from Saturday's Premier League draw against Sunderland.
But any worries - for the neutral observer, at least - that the hosts would dominate their youthful opponents proved unfounded.
The two sides were evenly matched throughout the 120 minutes as a high-tempo game, containing plenty of goalscoring chances and drama, provided a sharp contrast to the dour 0-0 draw at Anfield.
Either side could have nicked an extra-time winner, with Christian Benteke missing three clear-cut opportunities for Liverpool.
And former Juventus defender Ogbonna's first Hammers goal provided the perfect finale for the hosts in what might be the final FA Cup tie at the Boleyn Ground before their move to the Olympic Stadium.
Ogbonna scored his first West Ham goal in his 18th appearance for the club
Hammers up for the cup?
West Ham are three-time winners of the FA Cup, but have not lifted the trophy since Trevor Brooking's famous header gave them victory in the 1980 final.
But with Bilic keen to focus on the competition, could he lead the east London club to silverware in his first season as Hammers boss?
The Croat will not publicly admit it, but he must realise his team have a great chance of reaching the last eight as they face a Blackburn side winless in eight league matches and in the lower reaches of the Championship.
France international Dimitri Payet will be central to their ambitions of a possible run to Wembley, with the mercurial midfielder again instrumental in this victory.
The 28-year-old, who the Hammers want to sign an improved deal, outlined his worth by starting the move that led to Antonio's goal and supplying the teasing free-kick that Ogbonna converted.
Benteke to blame?
Since his £32m summer arrival from Aston Villa, Benteke has failed to win over many Liverpool fans, who have questioned the wisdom in spending so much on a striker who has struggled to fit into the Reds' system.
And the Belgian missed the chance to win over the doubters by firing Liverpool, seven-time winners of the FA Cup, past the Hammers.
Benteke put four of his nine shots on target (green arrows), seeing two blocked (yellow) and three missing the home goal (red)
Benteke had nine efforts at goal - three times as many as any other player - but extended his goalless run to 11 matches in 2016.
Hammers keeper Darren Randolph denied him from close range in both halves of normal time, but Benteke should have scored when put clean through in extra time.
However, he could only shoot at the legs of the Republic of Ireland international - a miss which proved costly.
"It's not the nicest moment in his career but he has to work hard," said Klopp.
"He wants to score and we need him to score. We will work on it in the days, weeks and months."
Despite the defeat, there were some positives for Liverpool fans - most notably Daniel Sturridge returning from a hamstring injury to make his first appearance since early December.
The England international gradually grew into the game after arriving as a 59th-minute substitute, showing glimpses of neat footwork and his sharp eye for goal.
His best opportunity came early in the second half of extra time, when he picked the ball up near the halfway line before driving forward unopposed and fizzing a shot inches over the Hammers crossbar.
Too early to start thinking of an England recall?
Man of the match - Michail Antonio (West Ham)
Antonio impressed at both ends of the pitch. The £7m summer signing scored his fourth goal in six home games and was also denied on two other occasions. But he also impressed defensively, making a game-high five successful tackles when he filled in for the injured Joey O'Brien at right-back
What's next?
Back to Premier League action. Sixth-placed West Ham go to relegation battlers Norwich on Saturday, while ninth-placed Liverpool visit bottom side Aston Villa on Sunday.
