ivandragon:You got the idea of how PhDs are run in Nigeria. I have attended several PhD presentations and seminars where the candidates ended up looking like educated fools with all the hard work they've/ they thought they've put in. In the Management Sciences, there also seem to be a lot of disagreement on concepts and methodologies. All of this academic wahala is often transferred to the candidate. But I admire the survivor spirit in many candidates I have come across with. |

slydog: If you interested in lecturing then do not rest your oars.. Its one thing to have a PhD its another thing to get a job in these recent times.. I can count how many PhD holders who dont have a job... Networking and Connection is the key.. Don't be ashamed to tell any Tom, Dick and Harry that you need a lecturing job cause you don't know who is who... Even if you get a part-time one, take it. It will count as experience.. All these adverts you see is a mere form of formality.. I repeat a mere form of formality so don't guck yourself!!! If your area of specialization is an area of dire needs then lucky you.. But if its an area that is over saturated then you need to be a feet faster... 1 Like |

duduade: I get bro, that's why I'm reaching out to all I can. I know most of these adverts are formalities, even the guy in my class who got a state university offer, got a letter straight from the deputy Governor of the state. That's why I reached out to the vc of Otuoke even before I began the program. I'm always on the look out bro, you can also help with heads up |

Nice write up. But why including 'Dr' in your title when there is already a 'Prof'? Just being curious anyways. |

I know the Phd does not necessarily mean wealth but I still want to be a doctor... 1 Like |
Re: What A Phd Is And What It Is Not by duduade: 10:54am On Feb 12, 2018 |
slydog: That is because it was a State University.... and their salary na from the State.. most times the shortlisted names come from the HODs and Deans.... and for most Schools/Departments that run Ph.D s obviously the Lecturers there are training people who will take over from them.. At the interview, the outsiders just escort the already chosen ones to go play.... the only situation that come into place is when the unchosen one or ones do perform excellently well at the oral interview... apart from that all na formality... Kindly note that it is always kinda difficult allowing outsiders come in... just like giving another man s food to another person make hin chop.... just be humble and prayerful.. God will direct you... I wish you all the best!!! 1 Like |
