Education › Re: Strike: Ibrahim Gambari Wades In, Summons ASUU, NASU, Others by michlins(m): 8:27am On May 12, 2022
TenQ:
Do you think we have anything close to quality education in Nigeria?
Does your government know how many Chemists, Physicists, Mathematician, Statisticians, Engineers they need AND for what purpose?

Why is it that graduates from Nigerian Universities are unemployable?
How do you think any meaningful result will come out from a system where the House of Assembly people pay themselves equivalence in Dollars while the non elected Nigerian citizens are paid in naira equivalent?

Before you speak again, compare how much the US government is funding their primary school and high school with how much Nigerian government is using to fund their public school! How much does American Children pay for their public schools?

People who don't know how a proper relationship between Research ,R and D and Governance is supposed to be should not be talking on this matter.

It is not about cost, it is about PURPOSE!
Please, How much do Chinese students pay in their Universities?
apples to oranges

Thanks for quoting and saying something reasonable. I rarely reply quotes. You are right because in these saner climes we all praise and run to, education is expensive and that's why there isn't strike. But then, because ASUU doesn't generate that much doesn't preclude them from a commensurate salary. Samer climes have student loans to cushion expensive tuition fees and some guaranteed level of repayment system and employment

Do you honestly think that salary is fair regardless? Don't also think in the generated revenue alone, remember ASUU produces these people you are referring to and from the foregoing, best brains in the lecturing line are dwindling by the day and being hijacked by foreigners.

What ASUU produces may not be monetary but more valuable than you opine.

Your thoughts are welcome though.

IamMichael
it's not fair but because they don't generate enough, they are stuck there. In a good institution and country, their professors don't depend on salaries. They lead researches and from there, they make insane amount from there.

But then, teaching has been about salaries. If you want to be rich, do something else

Imagine! Those who train the NNPC, CBN etc staff should be paid less, since training those students in school does not directly generate funds to government coffers, abi? You seem to forget that the bane of all development is Human Capital development.

500k fees! So sayeth the elitist mind. The 500k you mentioned has never been seen or handled by some parents of first class students in some public universities. So what becomes their fate?
Students farm during rainy season and sell at a later time to fund their school fees. Students hawk cookies, fries...work as security personnel in hotels, banks etc just to afford fees. If it becomes 500k how do they survive that?
if you can't afford education,do something else. There are lots of skills you can acquire and achieve success in life. Majority of our graduates are not employable and that makes their certificate almost useless
TenQ:
It is because of ignorant graduates like you that this nation is so backward.

Do you know how long it takes to make a professor?
Do you know how irreplaceable a professor is in training the nation's human capital?


Unfortunately for you, just like our dumb politicians, you think only in terms of CASH and not VALUE.

It doesn't dawn on you that CBN, FIRS, NNPC, NPA etc get their money by LAW and not by skill!?

Common sense does not tell you that a University anywhere in the world is not designed for Money generation as a sole purpose!? They attract money for research and use the monies to build capacity!

No wonder we have graduates who seem to have their brains frozen and locked up.

Please can you explain why the greatest countries in the world are those with the best R & D human assets?


It's amazing how you glorify those who have destroyed the economy of this nation by their policies to which they earn outrageous salaries because they "make more money"! SMH!!
Oxford University, Cambridge all have endowment fund running into billions and trillions of dollars. They go as far as investing in the stock market. Nigeria has one of the cheapest University education anywhere in the world.

If you want quality, pay for it or strike for it. Either way, Yusuf the son of Buhari will fly abroad get quality education and the elites will remain elites

Hmmm

Government only shakes body when their looting spree or activities are threatened- sequel to the planned protest by NANS to disrupt primary election;

They quickly supplied aviation fuel and attended to Aviation challenge.

Only ASUU knows how to hold government at the jugular and they get results unlike NLC.

They are occupied with their 2023 presidential ambition while education is at an all-time tottering level and hairsbreadth away from monumental total collapse.

If you don't support ASUU movements remember that if this government is permitted, Nigerian students will be paying 1m as school fees and they will crumble public tertiary institutions like primary and public school.

How can lecturers be paid #120,000 even a PHD holder gets paid around #150k+. The highest pay is 416k paid to professors that occupies about 4-5% of the population of staff. What about the paltry pay of others?! after over 20 years of tertiary education sometimes

Ordinary BSC in CBN, FIRS, NDA, NNPC, and other government parastatals earn extremely fat

NNPC Team Manager earns an average of about ₦ 1.19m monthly, Well Operations Superintendent earn up to ₦ 1.4m monthly and Human Resources Analysts earn around ₦665K.

The CBN staff salary structure is quite high but these salaries are not easily disclosed. The salaries below was inputed by some CBN staffs.

Deputy Governor CBN earns around ₦3.34m monthly, Branch Controller earns ₦900k and Managers earn around ₦700k.

The Entry level salary of FIRS employees ranges from ₦80,000 to ₦100,000 monthly. However, their ogas earn mammoth salaries

A level 8 staff of the PENCOM, at the end of his or her induction/recruitment training, get allowances in excess of over 2 million naira.

On monthly bases, level 8 Staff of the Commission earn around N180,000.

Unconfirmed reports of BOI suggest that some staff of the bank take home around N500,000 per month.

Not to mention DPR, Nimasa, NPA etc

you can abuse ASUU all you want but the fact is laid bare.

Most of these figures are far beyond what lecturers are paid.
Ask yourselves, students say they don't want to be lecturers because of perceived poor pay then with this trend, who will teach our children in the future when even the brightest brains are jetting out.

This should be a collective fight but ASUU must ensure no lecturer short-changes any student on resumption.

We didn't even talk about degree-less politicians fat salaries. Please don't quote me of you don't understand the plight of teachers in Nigeria. It's a collective fault. Primary and secondary school teachers are even worse in payment but the society doesn't care.
stop comparing apples to oranges please.

The institutions you mentioned make too much money for the government.

You don't expect to pay someone whose office generate billions daily ₦50,000 and complain when he steals. It's never done.

Compare ASUU with Nigeria police. Having said that, it is high time Nigeria education is deregulated to some extent. It's better to pay ₦500,000 per section and finish a course meant for five years in five years and not a day older. If you pay any less, you will balance off the payment by many years of strike and the worst thing to loose in life is time cause it's irreversible.

If you decide not to pay that much, you will sign a contract that will force you to work in public institution in Nigeria for a certain number of years before you japa. We can't pay for your school fees through subsidised education and the moment you finish, you run away.

I know many people will not be comfortable with my comment but "he who comes to equity must come with clean hands". If we citizens of Nigeria wants to hold the leaders accountable,we too should be accountable.

Let me see see how someone will pay 500,000 as school fees and ASUU will go on strike without the minister of education and labour not getting sacked the next day. Those ones are currently vying for president. Or a student will stay in that hostel in uniben and unn. We may not notice but these things destroy us psychologically and we raise students who don't attain perfection but microbiologists who work in banks

Technology Market › Re: Professor On Any Type Of Generator. by michlins(m): 2:07am On May 10, 2022
Angelasisiano:
Please sir I'm currently facing a very difficult situation right now
We haven't had gen in a long time so just recently, we got one new elepaq 4.5kva. although according to engineer he said its truly 2.8kva not 4.5kva as claimed
After it was coupled, we tested it for few minutes and it worked, the next time we turned it on same day, it brought light and immediately the power went off, the next day we called the installer and he confirmed the AVR got spoilt, we changed the AVR and turned it on, same thing happened... we've changed AVR 3 times consecutively and it is a new gen so our engineer decided the gen must be having factory fault problem cos once it's turned on and we change over, the transformer becomes hot immediately and the voltage rises towards 300 instead of 220 according to the engineer even without anything else being on apart from bulb but this is a generator that was tasted at the sellers shop and it worked perfectly for several hours
So later the seller changed the engine and gave us new one but to my greatest surprise, the issue still persist
So now it's obvious the problem is from our house not the generator, maybe from connection or something that we haven't figured out yet but same connection has been in use in the past without facing issues
Please what exactly do you think is the problem here and how can we resolve that cos right now it's as if we bought new gen but can't use it
Thanks
first of all, for you to buy a generator with acclaimed 4.5kva but with actual 2.5kva tells you that it's a fake something. Anything else can be wrong with the generator.

To confirm if it's from your house, borrow another generator and use it to power your house

That dancing could be interpreted in so many ways.

1. He was dancing because he never thought of getting a 250k job. Which means he is not confident in his ability and therefore not worth it.

2. He has no decorum. He could do that to a client which could cost the company.
3.

5etc
so the company executives, when they score a big contract and celebrate,does it mean they don't have confidence in themselves or that they don't have decorum?

Exactly my thought! Why should a reasonable employer sack someone because of ordinary WhatsApp sticker? Like wtf? huh huh

If as an employer you're not comfortable with a person's style of communication (as it concerns official matters), isn't it proper to bring it to the person's notice? Why terminate his/employment on such grounds? Haha? These are the same sets of people that preach the leadership gospel bla bla bla. Shior!

A female subordinate once addressed me by my first name (as against my surname) without even adding the Mr. title. I just calmly explained to her that it's not appropriate to do so. We've not attained that level of 'closeness' that could warrant such. Besides, she's a lady and I'm a man, anybody could allude ugly meanings to such 'informality'. Immediately, she corrected herself and we became cool. If meself wan flex muscle, I could have written her up on it or reported to my superiors that she disrespected me. cheesy cheesy Or better still, make I claim 'harrassment'. cheesy cheesy

Nigerian bosses should be calming down abeg. We're humans not god.

PS- my erstwhile Director, we used to call her diety because of how she behaves. Not greeting her properly can get you sacked. Not adding 'Ma' to her name could get you a query. There was a time she queried me for not putting my hands behind my back while speaking to her. cheesy cheesy
I thank God sha I will not be working for anybody. Cause I can't deal with what you guys deal with.

You didn't put hands behind the back while talking with her?

But not to worry,it will soon clear for your eyes and you will know why people get depressed and lonely in a world of 7bn people.

Obi will not win the primary even if he has to the CBN. Dude is too frugal with funds and that's what we need in Nigeria unfortunately we're too hungry to make the right decision. Even the rich are too hungry for to use their sense.

Atiku is most likely going to pick up the ticket and that will unsettle APC because they will need a Northerner and a good Moslem to counter whoever PDP will bring.
