Fairness should be applied to all sectors.
You cannot in good conscience justfiy the 1.5b naira our senate president takes yearly and then tell me that it was too high for a pharmacist to earn good pay. Meanwhile Obama earns an equivalent of only 55million naira before tax annually. When u remove more than 30% tax from that amt, then u know how much his take home pay is annually.
By the way, have u even considered the cost of living in a place like Abuja? Abuja is pretty much more expensive than so many cities in USA(like houston, florida, dallas, durham, raleigh, etc) and Canada(like manitoba, halifax, edmonton, orangeville, etc), Check out the facts. Give me a break on the GDP nonsense. What is the GDP of South Africa? If our resources are well managed, S/A wouldn't be a match to ngr; but they in SA pays way higher than we do in ngr. Could u imagine that naija doctors go to SA to train with the latest equipment. What an outrage! Meanwhile Delta state gov is writing a check of 3b naira to OBJ; Bode George was jailed for stealing 100b naira. I believe that the reason for the underpayment is a misplacement of priorities in nigeria and corruption.  Nigeria has enough resources to pay her deserving professional well and not the peanut 18000 naira death wage[/b]

It is utterly ridiculous.
A friend of mine with a PhD in Computer Science here in Canada got 4 offers of employment from 4 ngrn universities. How much were they gonna pay him? guess.
Just 350k/mth, gosh, dat's just $2300, an amount he makes a wk here.
But guess what, he's currently teaching in a South African university where they pay him an equivalent of 950k naira ($6k) per month.
I think ngr has a long way to go in terms of remunerating and well compensating merit especially if they wish to attract talents.

Why are some people here accusing him of mentioning only dead people?
Abdusalami Abubakar is still alive; or have we forgotten?[/size]

Guy, go for it. It's worth it. Ngrn banking industry is not the most stable place to be.
Besides. u aint liking wat you're doing. Go where ya heart leads you.
If its engineering, u sure have my backing. Trust me, you'll get a rewarding and fulfilling job after that.

How can you have a good educational system when u pay your PHDs and Professors peanuts as salary?
A south African prof earns an equivalent of $8thousand a month while Nigeria's Professor earns $3500. What a disparity!!!(Immagine then how much a lower cadre lecturer with a phd earn)
Meanwhile, your House of Representative Member(Not even senator yet) earns higher than the President of the United States.
R I D I C U L O U S !!!

@Rolchi

I urge u to read the article well.
The amount of 100million, is a take off grant. Its is not the totality of amount to be spent on schools or health.
More funding would be disbursed.
Its not a propaganda

NP is a great option. Although its not officially recognized in nigeria, it gives you ample strength and all the advantages when it comes to medical surgical nursing and health assessment. With this and ya computer background, you might want to add a post-masters (takes 6-8 mths of full time studies) degree in Nursing/Health Care informatics, and you'll be ready to roll. Trust me, this area of healthcare (with specific emphasis on nursing) information systems has great potential of becoming a hot cake in the near future in Nigeria.
I don't have current information on whether multinationals in ngr have started utilizing electronic health recording systems(but I believe they should) but it has great potentials with limitless earning potentials. Think about possibilities of consulting for big private and govt hospitals in setting up modern electronic health information systems, Think about possibilities of consulting for institutions and hospitals when it comes to manpower training as well. With your NP background, think about possibilities of consulting for institutions when it comes to setting up and use of modern day facilities and equipment. Great potentials, trust me.

@ima 1
I'll seriously advise that you get a Masters degree and if possible a doctorate there in the states(even if its an 18 months DNP) and then move into teaching in Ngr. Doctoral trained nurses in ngr are rare to come by and so schools will grab you immediately.
A friend just finished his Phd in Nursing here in Canada and jokingly sent three applications with resume to three high ranking federal universities in naija, come see calls and grabbings. He eventually settled with one in southern part of the country. Salary? Btwn 350 and 400k naira/mth as a senior lecturer. 'Textbook and handout' and probably a part-time position in one or two more univs/schools of nursing no follow this amount ohh. Girl, this is ya best option. Otherwise, u might want to train in ICU or CVICU in the states in addition to ya BScN in order to capture a good job in a big multi national in ngr (if u don't want to go into teaching).
Hope that helps.

Wow, if a CNO(level 14) earns 300k, I wonder how much an Asst. Director(Level 15) nurse earns, let alone a Deputy Director(Level 16)?
It is outrageous though that there is no Level 17 Nursing position in the federal civil service). I strongly believe there ought to be a Directorate position there, titled 'Director of Nursing Services', a level 17 position. This would then give a nurse an equal chance of being appointed a permanent secretary and later as a head of service of the federation.

Now south east has lost out in all the positions in the National Assembly.
Even PDP chairmanship naw goes to the north.
Just wait for GEJ to roll out his cabinet, you'll find out that the most an Igbo man would get is gonna be Minister for Communications/Information.
With a staunchly sworn anti- Igbo personality like Edwin Clarke advising GEJ, the Igbos are bound to lose Big.
Appointing an Igbo man as Chief of Army Staff was just a big deception and ploy to get our votes; the true Jonathan is showing off naw.
How insulting to zone senate presidency to north central again when the Igbos actually gave Jonathan the highest percentage of votes of any region.
The entire south south did not vote PDP as EDO went AC.  To hell with Jonathan. He is anti-igbo.
U all can call me anything u want, but my predictions have always been spot on, from the emergence of George Bush to the election of Obama, to the election of Yaradua and then Jonathan(if igbos vote for him). I predicted the re-election of the most useless governor in nigeria-T.Orji of abia cos there was no other strong contender as well as the triumph of Rochas. I predicted Buhari would lose if he fails to pick a strong Igbo man as VP. They all came to pass. I won big money on all those bets.
Thanks God though for Rochas. He will wipe out our tears.

@Le Molar
If u read ma post well, u'll find out that I did not make any preferences on who stays on top b/twn ngige and fashola; and so did not mean to belittle any body.
Besides I'm from Umuahia. Why would I belittle my pple?
Of course Ngige with Fashola as VP would be more Superb.

Permit me to submit my predictions for 2015.
PDP gets booted from power after 2015. Reason: Besides Jonathan, there isn't any other likeable person in PDP.
The equation could change if PDP decides to bring in a radical like Col. Abubakar Umar to fly its ticket together with a strong Igbo man as VP. But I doubt if all those thieves would ever take this risk of installling Umar. Sambo isn't a factor at all, and so I wont even mention him.
The only guy left is David Mark. I think he'll try; but If AC flies a south west-south east ticket(Muslim/xtian ticket) in Fashola and Ngige---guys ethnicity apart---this would be a winning ticket. (Besides, Mark is a christian, who in the east would he fly with him that's a muslim?)
The entire south would vote for them(fashola/ngige), including christians in the north. Edo goes with them as well. And so this may well be the ticket.
But if they decide to fly a Ribadu/Fashola ticket, and PDP picks a strong Igbo man as VP together with a notherner on top, then AC should kiss themselves good bye for 2015.
Someone just shouted Sambo/Soludo 2015!!!, Well, we'll see.

I say Amen! to that

I believe this is a huge possibility especially coonsidering the kind of politiking Ohakim is employing.
Besides, he has the state treasury.
Of course, personally, I want Rochas to win, but I'm begining to prepare myself for a possible second tenure for Ohakim.
I still urge all Imo indegenes in those election areas to vote en masse for Change tomorrow.
What do u think?

I learnt its still dicey. Ararume is still a contender especially in Okigwe region.
Rochas seems to be winning in Owerri, results still trickling in.
Ohakim may end up being the cat with nine lives and survive, but we'll see.

May be Rochas, we'll see

Imo State Governorship Battle: Make your Final Prediction- WHO WINS? Ohakim(PDP), Rochas (APGA) or Ararume (ACN). Who wins the battle of Igbo Heartland?
