Dvdpity:
Try to understand the point.

Primary school tutors in Nigerian school systems or anywhere in the world attended the university. Hence they were educated by professors.
Hopefully you will understand.

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?

Runningwater:
My point is that why people are clamouring for increase in salary for professors, they shouldn't forget the bedrock of formal education!!! Secondary school teachers

tegrianonigltd:
Una no Dey regard Nigerian professors, same Nigeria professor Wey teach me for middlesex university, husband to one of Nigeria actress, Nigerians when it comes to dedication, we are wonderful. You Dey Bleep up, disregard for one of the world Brightest countries, Nigerians are Doing well abroad because of the pay, good life. [/b]Give them good life and pay, see the educational system flourish

Oladapo1212:
not all primary school teachers learn under a professor but all professors pass through primary school teachers.

TONYE001:
It is by adequately paying professors and other academicians, and facilitating their research works that our so-called bigger problems would be solved.

I've read your arguments here. They are flawed.

kenedyx:
You're probably stupid.

Do know how much senators and HRs receive? Tell me just one thing they've ever done for this nation.

Runningwater:
You forget to include all tutors in Nigeria from kindergarten teachers to high academicians. Cause education is a tool that can be used to change the world.

All tutors deserve increase in pay not just professors

TONYE001:
I do not dispute this. All tutors, every Nigerian worker, deserves a pay raise.

ASUU is fighting its war. Other associations should fight theirs.

Runningwater:
Prof, I do respect them cause it's ain't easy to specialize in an area with lots of research papers and works among others but what I'm saying is that secondary school teachers should not be neglected. There should be increase in pay for all tutors in Nigeria and NOT just profs only

Then as for being not valued by employers of labour, I think it's common in Nigeria and NOT just to professors. Our Doctors, professors, programmers, engineers, and other skilled workers do run from Nigeria cause of pay and other factors. Even me typing this when I got enough skilled to contest with fellow django back-end developer abroad I go japa too.

We're on same page

sinkhole:
You're just running your mouth like running water!
Do you know the stress that Nigerian academician go through just to do research? Many public Universities in Nigeria do not have functioning campus wide internet, there is no stable power supply, no updated physical library, the laboratories are derelict. And all these are needed for quality research!
Aside the fact that American, British, etc academicians are well renumerated, there is provision of utilities such as power, internet, water, etc, so tell me how they will not do better job?

Antyxx:
Lol, teachers are more important than professors in any part of the world

Dybala11:
Nah, majority of the primary school teachers in my state didn't attend University. It's NCE graduates that dominate o.

Onyxnaija:
Take your shame somewhere else. Do Nigerian professors shop or pay their bills in dollars? When did the legal tender in Nigeria become dollars? These sort of comments are part of the reason ASUU goes on strike for half of the year. How come the US govt doesn’t say to professors in their country that ‘we pay you 7 million Naira a month’. It’s ridiculous, have you compared the cost of housing in the two countries? Or Cost of other commodities? This one side comparison Nigerians make against the dollar is the reason things are way too expensive in Nigeria today. Land sellers peg prices to match property prices in New York, Atlanta or Sydney Australia without considering the stark economic difference between Nigeria and these other economies. Food bills are so high in Nigeria now, that it’s scary to imagine how majority of the population are able to cater for themselves and their families.
I’m conclusion, these sort of comments show that these people are out of touch and should not be given air time .

RexTramadol1:
Every worker in Nigeria needs raise in their pay.

Runningwater:
For actually insulting me, I think you're the one.

You're bring another discuss for including those senators and HRs.

Runningwater:
Payment shouldn't be made on high qualifications only.

Who groomed the empty students' mind at young age with knowledge for profs to lecture them with little efforts??

You can't just cut off the root like that.

siofra:
I don't know why Nigerians are so ignorant.

If you know what it takes to be a professor, you'll know they are underpaid.

I'm currently a graduate research assistant and I've seen hell especially in a country like this that is bent on frustrating your life.
