Dat ur primary school teacher way teach u na professor teach am?

Dybala11:

They've done a lot, their efforts are not getting the right consideration/remuneration. One of my professors (Professor Abbas) was listed as one of the top 2% or so scientist in the world before his demise months ago. Majority of these professors do fund research works with the meagre and delayed salary they get from the government. I still stand on my words bro, there are lots of brilliant minds in our educational sector, it's a pity that the country is forcing them out hence the recent increase in the brain drain we're experiencing in the country. One of my professors in the field of organic chemistry/synthesis tried to synthesize a possible drug molecule and had a big problem getting access to facilities needed to carry out certain tests/procedures on the molecule.
I also remembered the day I had the opportunity to know/see the contributions of another professor in my Alma mater during an academic lecture, I couldn't help but marvel bro. And all of them are lecturing at LAUTECH o, not even at the likes of UI/Unilag etc. Our educational sector is in ruin bro.

And should I burst your bubble bro, some of the pharmaceutical companies we have in Nigeria don't even synthesize paracetamol themselves, they just get the active ingredient from overseas in bulk and then mix it with the additives and start selling

Elock1:
you still don't get my point.. I said "COLLECTIVELY" for the Nation.
You are still mentioning individual achievements.

Bro, no doubt Nigerians generally are smart but why the fxck are we still governed by unqualified people and yet the same professors play a massive a role in enthroning them.. Thats my stance.

In a country where they are "intelligent" professors, they are supposed to spearhead a lot of departments in the Nation but greed and cluelessness has reduced them to "siddon look"

Dunno if you get it now?.

REALretep:
Some of the people that taught that my primary school teacher worked hard enough over the years and later became professors. Also, most of the people that taught that my primary school teacher were trained by professors.
So, d ansa to ur question is yes.

You see, professors are at the peak of education.
To underpay professors is to undermine education

You're still ranting for professors

How much do primary school teachers receive as salary? The bedrock of formal education

greenmonk:

So the professors were born as professors and were not taught by anyone other than a professor.
Or are you implying that professors do the most difficult tasks on earth?
So because you are a professor you must receive the highest pay in the country.
Are professors the highest paid employees in America or Britain whom we like to use as our yardsticks?

RepoMan007:
1000 dollars is 15 times minimum wage. Can we say same of the advanced nations?

greenmonk:

Who told you that salaries are universal.
What percentage of their salary do our professors as tax, house rental or electricity bill.
Even in USA professors in different institutions are paid differently.
For us to move forward we have to make sure people are paid for their output and not because they have certificates which most of them can not defend in practice.
Professor na for mouth?

Good now you're thinking right .. Their pay isn't close to the other bigger problems we have in Nigeria right now!!!

Runningwater:


I'm seeing above $70k for professors from indeed job website then while for high school teachers I'm seeing above $60k. All yearly median salary.

So you're saying because US active professors are receiving well, all our prof should do the same?

How many academic achievements or research our own profs have done in general aside from few schools like UI and others?

Udoboss:



That's why they are asking for increase in salary...No be who chop belle full go do research??

BTW, do you know dat the research are from their pocket..they want government to sponsor it

This your question does not portray intelligency.

orion7:
not professors I’ll tell you that for free. Busy all professors where thought by primary school teachers

Both are imparting knowledge
One teaches while the other lectures.

Again individuals on whom the knowledge is being imparted differ in age, educational in both groups. While the methodolody also difers between the two

Odidigboigbo:
Your question is like the argument between egg and fowl, who came first?

jkpbestseries:


who trained the professors

Sonoyom:


Who trained the professor?

Tchalz:

Those who trained the teachers were first trained by Primary School Teachers. You won't get anywhere with this argument
