In civilized countries, the rate at which your students pass out and graduate is testament to how great and efficient you are as a lecturer and so a professor in harvard would say I AM A GREAT LECTURER BECAUSE ALL MY STUDENTS PASSED AND GRADUATED.

This is the bragging rights of any professor in civilized countries.

Meanwhile this failure of a professor in Nigeria bragging right is how many students fail his class and drop out of the department and get kicked out of the university. This is the bragging right of this failure who is too brain dead to understand that if most of your students are failing and being kicked out of the university it is a testament of how bad of a lecturer you are.

I hereby henceforth submit that all Nigerian lecturers should be put on a salary of 200 thousand a month because that is what they deserve. They dont deserve more than that until they can make sure that all their students graduate and know what they are doing after they graduate.

You talk out of frustration. Using majority is not acceptable.
in developed countries all lecturers in engineering, medicine and many other fields will be sacked if those they graduates are not making any impact. But of course it is Nigeria where anything goes. So many empty heads calling themselves lecturers with no meaningful impact directly or indirectly.

The lecturers' fault in the poor outcomes of the capacity of the graduates is minimal, if any.

Blame it all on:

The Ministry of Education

Nigerian University Commission

Commissioners of Education


They are responsible for the:

Obsolete curricula: a curriculum must be functionally useful to to solve modern and future problems

Poor funding of research endeavours

Infusion of politics into academics

Misdirection of innate career paths: a student who found him/her name under a course different from his/her selected dream course usually end up in frustration

Lack of merit in selection processes for positions of authority such as the Vice Chancellors et al

Poor reward system for excellent performances

Exactly, if you are a true professor, your credentials will be proven by your impact in research fields and areas of expertise. I remember those years in university when aspiring professors among our lecturers are often the ones to give students assignments on advanced research topics. In essence, they are asking their students to do the research work for them in order to advance their pursuit for professorship. Many professors of statistics in Nigeria today cannot even work in a company as a digital data visualist.

Professorship is just a decorative title for many academics in Nigeria. They have nothing to show for their contribution and invention in research and academic field.

Most people don't know lecturers work with time, they have to mark, record,submit to d senate for review and if you attended a new generation university they have to upload on the portal, all within a given time frame...

But all this "A is for me" is not common in federal universities.

Maybe state universities and polytecnics.

Because I have never heard it before, both in my undergraduate and postgraduate studies both at two different federal universities.

200k is actually six times the basic minimum wage and I see no reason why people should have such disparity in earning yet shoulder comparable responsibilities.

But if you think of it, they don't make the syllabus. National Universities Commission (NUC) does. The lecturers just teach according to what the syllabus directs them to teach the students. If the NUC doesn't review the syllabus every few years, how do you expect the lecturers to change their teaching materials?

Funny but valid, I confront one of my lecturer during my university days. This man took a prerequisite course that half of the class failed and even those that pass, passed with E and Ds. As the class representative, I went to him and asked him how he feels when you taught a course and half of the class failed. The man was so angry with me that who I mine to come and challenge him or questioned him. This very man told me that they do teach us when we graduate and get a better job, we don't even think that they exist! Our system is too compromised.

Don't make it look like Nigerian lecturers don't give students A in your department, when they put in efforts deserving of it.

Don't make it look like all students or you did well enough to warrant A's or B's yet you were denied because lecturer hates you all.

If a lecturer marks you down, follow the guideline, call relevant attention and get rewarded with money and meritocracy.

Don't come here to kvetch spitefully about your lecturers while you actually run around them in reality begging for marks because you failed to work hard enough to attain exam success.

Some of these lecturers left their lecturing jobs overseas to come contribute back home, while are lot are being fetched off for your country's ineptitude.

If it irks you so much, go through all it takes to become a lecturer, get employed as one in a federal school, and start dishing 'A's' and 'B's' for every Shade and Emeka, for the virtue of simply being a student. As if it's not the same 'worthy education, institution, and lecturer relationship' standard that births and drives first and second countries development dynamism.

Gobbledygook!

Probably a plebeian who knows nothing abouth shaping lives and what core academic successes are for failure of trying, and finding his/her tutors to dump the responsibility of the failure on.

Post-submission 1



Last year, before the strike, a lecturer in my school, Unilorin, motioned that if your pleasure contrasts the result of an exam, go to your LA, then your HOD, who then string your meeting with the exam lecturer, they unravel your script, in line with the marking scheme he used for other students that offered the said exam. Still uncomfortable? It gets to the senates level, then the script to another public university's lecturer for remarking or evaluation of the mark. If found the lecturer actually marks you down at this point, you'll be rewarded, financially too, and the lecturer gets punished. Little did you know you usually have rights as much as they, too, do.

Post-submission 2



Well, I don't really know your experience enough to assume your perspective.

This is because in my school, in my department and arm of the school, they lecturers are cordial enough.
Professor Olatunji tells us "look, I'm being paid to teach you, so you don't need to even clap for me after lecture, nor greet me when you see me elsewhere." "I know this course is burdensome enough for you guys, yet the time is ethereal - I lecture you for 2 hours on a topic, you have at least 60 more other topics to share with other lecturers, and to prepare for. Yet you must answer questions on them all in <2 hours - in light of this, I mark your scripts in a position of a student, if I do in a position of a professor, chances are you all will fail".

Dr AbduRaheem: We all call her Mama, you can imagine the degree of cordiality she radiates. In fact, she can do no wrong.

Prof. Enaibe uses his funny, ingenious Segun and Shade model to lecture us on fertilization/infertility. Sometimes, at noon/evening, in class, he wiggles or jokes to capture our attention if he has to - he believes we may be tired.

Or Dr Alabi... Oh, God bless his soul.
And so on. In fact, never has any lecturer forced any book or material on us. Just make sure your theory answer is outlined and CC is added, and you're right with values and content.

The only thing I notice is they don't cut back integrity. You are unlikely to get an unwarranted mark. Someone was dropped off for scoring 49.2 when he needed 50, despite his connection. A female lecturer cried for a guy who was caught with jottings during exam because he would be rusticated. These are because they're the standards that must be followed.

I am not standing on the position that they're all perfect and immaculate. No. But, here, they're usually within standard and exonerate cordiality. Don't mistake discipline and standard for sadism.

Also, most of these people have, at a point, been to overseas, for research, experience, and not just some half-baked as you're quick to label.

No be all of us dey put in enough work to get the A's and B's, but all of us dey like am. E no go sweet the people wey dey score As and Bs after their effort when all us wey trade off our preparation sef dey chop As and Bs too.

No be all of us dey put in enough work to get the A's and B's, but all of us dey like am. E no go sweet the people wey dey score As and Bs after their effort when all us wey trade off our preparation sef dey chop As and Bs too.

Post-submission 3, and the last.


How about this angle? I was a secretary in a primary school prior to admission. I was surprised to find that it's the norm to call out answers to primary 5/6 students writing common entrance. Spoilt foundation. Is that the lecturer's fault? One.

During my WAEC and GCE periods, I was always meted with a form of discrimination or the other, because I always avoided paying for expo nor special centre. They believed it was plain stupid. Lately, students have WAEC/Jamb exams tomorrow and, today, they're engaging in irrelevant, flimsy activities. Now, that educational decadency is a fault of lecturer? Two.

The influential crop of society, including kings, chiefs, politicians, famous people, university registrars and admission officials, et al grant such students' - with such feeble background academic - admission, despite the deficiency. Three.

Now you expect the lecturers to do the re-training, re-teaching, and un-learning of the students in 1-3 hours session/day and about 10 sessions/semester (or bi-posting), when re-learning is really their basic responsibility. Right?

It's the responsibility of the state to put the standards down for a good foundation. Lecturer is not supposed to start teaching you how to construct letter or good sentences, since you're not studying English language.

In most cases, our lecturers (in public universities across are trying).
Prof BVO came back from Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts Hospital where he went to contribute his research to pain mgt. A lot like that.

The government underfund their research and aspirations - the necessary factors for gowth of a society - and gives them poorly supervised students to manage and you want miracles?

These lecturers are not given much ground in politics, the ones in politics are given a template of what they must and not do.
