Nonsense. Nigerian public university lecturers are overrated. I know this because I know this. Bunch of redundant, smug, unnecessarily arrogant idiots. I hate Buhari more than anyone else but you see this ASUU, they are absolute smelly fecal matter.

The way ASUU has held the country to ransom over the years is just a sad comedy. They overrate their importance and think that because one corrupt, depraved animal is a 'Dr' or Professor of shit, then he deserves to earn more than an oil industry executive. We're talking about someone whose actual academic/intellectual/innovative output is almost zero. There's nothing they can teach you now that you wouldn't easily find on Google or YouTube. There's nothing that comes out of their useless 'research'. Give one of them a N1b grant to do research in their field, and watch how they would spend it on the usual Naija levels... Acquiring property, cars, investing in private business, and then forming made man.

The country is just a joke. ASUU my foot.

emmyrate1:
you are saying nonsense, is only in Africa or Nigeria to be precise they pay lecturers penny.

InvertedHammer:

But when the children of these politicians graduate from foreign universities, the useless students sitting at home will rush to social media to lavish them with "Congratulations!"

So who is to blame? The oppressors or the ones that voluntarily worship and adore the oppressors?

rusher14:
Why can't the lecturers resign and migrate to the various private universities in Nigeria?

onyxo76:

they are already doing that...soon most courses in public universities will start losing accreditation.
and that is exactly what FG wants...kill the public schools.

alabo1:


You are very silly. You don't know what it means to get a PHD that's why. Your language is rude and unbecoming. I don't know the institution you attended but trust me we have some of the best minds in Academia in Africa despite our limitations. Go, your sins are forgiven

Amoo89:

I don’t believe majority understand what is happening now. We should stop blaming wrong people all the time based on what I have read I don’t blame the government now but ASUU claiming even after adjustment in condition they won’t still return to the class because govt refused to pay them for the days they have been on strike. Let me ask them how possible is it to meet up with time they have lost. What is their sacrifice Abi it is all because of their own benefits. Let’s all be realistic before we shift blames.

CyberHustle:
we don't have best minds. Your rants won't change that. A lecturer who comes to class and openly talks about A is for God is a useless one. That's what most of them are. Useless lecturers with unreadable handouts that has been photocopied for over a decade. No new innovations in passing across ideas. Most of them cannot use graphics software that will help introduce new illustrations to convey ideas and take so much delight in failing students than imparting knowledge.

Olaolex:
There was strike during covid which lasted 9 month

Owopariola001:


They should quit and look for other jobs that pay better, or establish businesses like they always preach to the youths.

fatboyslym007:


With all due respect. It is mindset like this that destroys a society.
U think everyone can own a business?
If everyone in a society becomes an entrepreneur, what happens to that society?
Unknown or known every worker in the Nigerian labor force deserves better conditions n better payment. Lecturers have a Union to fight other unions should also fight for better working conditions.

Secondly:


What does it mean to get a PhD?

With all the PhDs you have acquired, how many worthy inventions have come out of it?

People will just be feeling like they are God because they went to acquire more paper certificates after wasting their time ''studying''.

hedonido:


Shut up and get out, you fool. I know you more than you know yourself.

Are all lecturers like that. I made all A's in my 3rd and 4tth year. I even made an A in a course where the lecturer was nefarious. Look know your onions and no lecturer can victimize you. I rest

alabo1:
Go and get yours first before you belittle it. What grade did you make in school. Academia is not for everyone please. Even in your venerated societies a PHD is respected.

Owopariola001:


Which better working conditions?
How many government workers earn more than ASUU aside from a few special Ministries? And these few Ministries don't have much staff.

If they are comparing their salaries with what Politicians earn, why can't they contest and go for the same position?

In the alternative, if it's the private sector they are comparing themselves with, they can resign and look for a job in the private sector. Nobody is stopping them.

Also, there are abroad options, many have chosen that route. What is stopping them from going?

To be honest, ASUU demands are too much, including being paid for 6 months they're at home.

Secondly:


Hahaha.

We are talking of making giant strides in Artificial Intelligence and one useless ASUU man is talking about getting a PhD.

Nigga, fuck_ your PhD.

With all the PhDs you've acquired, you are still begging Buhari to add money for you.

What a shame!

alabo1:


Go and update yourself please. Despite poor funding we are one of the leaders in Technology and Science research in Africa as well as actual tech breakthroughs. In social science research we are no.1. do you know the amount of funding havard and co. Get from their govt to get the results they achieve?don't blame the lecturer blame the system

JJuanMiguel:

Stop this unnecessary comparison, Nigeria is a third world indebted country. You can't expect to have same resources and renumeration with Havard and other ivy league schools.
That's why today if you resign and apply for a job in Oxford or Princeton nobody will stop or arrest you.

alabo1:


You are still missing the point. What I am saying is the system is the problem not lack of brains. I hope you realise India is also a 3rd world country? Yet compare the % of funding to the education sector between India and nigeria and revert. Peace

JJuanMiguel:

Ok, obviously education is underfunded.
But what do you think is the solution?
Incessant strikes or a collective effort in getting good leaders?

alabo1:


I had mentioned it before that the system is the problem. The systemic issues we have stem from leadership obviously. While I do not support ASUU's incessant strikes what other recourse do the have to get redress? The fact is that our educational system is also flawed in so many ways. There is no country where the government is expected to fund tertiary education to a large degree with the kind of fees we charge as well as the kind of Tax system we run. In other climes where they have a working syastem, certain certain taxes are reserved to fund the education sector. That is the only reason why you can have free education to tertiary level in most scandinavian countries. However the Personal Income Tax alone there is between 40-60%. Unfortunately beccause we have a dysfunctional system here no one will be willing to contribute that here.

On a curious note, what are your suggestions on collective efforts towards getting good leadership. Peace
