University professors don't use their salaries for research. What they do is make hypothesis based on their studies and knowledge, and seek for funding via grants.

These guys don't hypothesize anything besides political and religious pontifications, and an endless clamor for more money to their pockets.

Jerryherd:
As much as I like hon Chukwuemeka Nwajiuba, because he is very intelligent... I strongly disagree on this.

Let him convert this petty money to dollars and see what paltry some it is

Professors are the peak of academic career, just like Supreme Court Justice, Brigadier general, President of their various fields and careers

Faller:
I no like to chook mouth for this kind matter because my papa na Lecturer sef.......

If you think we survived on his salary throughout the years ..... your brain needs formatting....

The truth is since Buhari was able to bypass University and use his NEPA bill as certificate....The value of the Lecturers dropped because the politicians don't hold them in high esteem..... Once you have the proper connect... You're good to go ..You Don't need any professor for that .....Such a shame

gwinaB:


True we don't spend dollars in Nigeria but to participate in international conference or publish in high impact journals is computed in EUR and USD.
Secondly,that salary is no where close to what the write claim lecturers in South Africa earns.

Tofax:
There's nothing fat about their salaries. The salary of a lecturer in Nigeria is peanut when compared to their counterpart in other climes

thebosstrevor1:


So how much should a professor be collecting?

400k is fat, as far as i am concerned

Davidonkonsults:
Many low IQ creatures here who don't understand sarcasm and cheek-in-tongue.

matm:
Primary school teachers are supposed to earn higher than lecturers.University students do almost all academic work themselves.But these set of teachers start with unknown to known in teaching learner's who can neither read nor write.They teach,they are also responsible for d learner's all round development.

I gazed on in amusement as a professor retired sometime ago in a rather unceremonious manner. I could see his melancholic face as he gave his retirement speech, telling of various tales regarding sufferings he had to endure while on the job as though he's trying to motivate the junior collegeaues. I could see his facial expressions carried the "what next" remark in the evening as the event came to a close. He didn't seem a man happy to be retiring, probably unsure if he'll get his pensions.

Thiwalade:



Quota system product, you definitely have nothing tangible to offer. Publishing and purchase of equipments alone is done in dollars not naira, conferences, workshop, all these are charged in dollars and euros. Do you think research is child's play? If you've done an undergraduate project you'll understand how Capital intensive research is. Thefairguy, and are far more reasonable than you. You give no room for logic just unnecessary biases based on your political affiliation.

Before making comparison let's also look at the working condition- are they allowed to run other businesses, & jobs aside their job

Omoluabi1stborn:


What is the result of the money they are collecting?

In abroad, some of the professors use their own money to do some research and learn new things.

Guy,I am a farmer, sometimes I learn new thing about what I'm into on my own.

Everything about Nigeria Professors are copy and paste.

Coolgent:

Dont mind them.
My cousin is a HOD in 2 Federal Universities, Visiting lecturer in 1 state university and federal.

Definition of why southerners are ignorant.

Write in english but write ignorantly.

1.You can publish your research on free journal sites and there are many of them.

2. Research is localised and you spend in naira.

3. Workshop and conferences are done locally and many of them are free of charge.

4. If you are sent for international conferences or worshop, it is mostly sponsored by grants or the university.

Sometimes the universities are the ones sponsoring the researchers.

thebosstrevor1:
Why do they like to compare their salaries to other countries.

That is how our house of rep and Senate were comparing their salaries with the United states government salaries, now they take home about 20% of the budget.

madridsta007:


The best thing you can do as a Nigerian academic is to leave Nigeria.y
This would be very selfish, but what are the alternatives?

Ibegtodiffer:


...so many have left. Many more are leaving. But there is this insatiable feeling that comes with putting in efforts to make universities in other countries better, while yours is lagging behind.

Obviously you're not ignorant. You're deliberately and dangerously mischievous.

madridsta007:


I agree.
Wholesomely. My research is focused on the West and South America, but there was this joy I had when I presented at a conference in the motherland last year.
I guess we have to find a way to affect the inside from the outside.
