Most awful things lecturers do are out of frustration due to the reasons their on strike now...I mean some of them receive half of even quarter of their salaries due to that corrupt payroll system used by the AGFs to launder money from the FG...



There's always gonna be a problem in a system where illetrates just get political seats most through bleeped up means and take home millions monthly with several unnecessary allowances including common councillors.... While educationists at all level from primary to tertiary are taking home peanuts, for what now? I don't see a reason why a professor shouldn't be getting the same salary as a judge or a medical consultant.


Even at that teacher's rewards are still in heaven
You didn't mention that the handouts they do sell is enough to generate enough income for a lucrative business.
I can't forget the one that made us buy handouts from year one to my final year and even made us pay for biology practicals. Our educational system needs to be upgraded.

Somebody will spend 5years in the system, graduate & still can't do anything practical. Is that not a waste? That practical knowledge could be acquired in just 3months, but because the lecturers don't want others there, they will not teach those things ...

I agree with you. Most of them are idiotic, frustrated, empty-headed sadistic fools that only see pleasure in frustrating their students.

After displaying their uselessness for all to see, they then turn around to beg FG to increase their pay. grin

I only take pity on the good ones but they're so few to the point that they don't even count. And at the end of the day, one good to you might be a complete asshole to another for no just cause.
God bless you

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.

I disagree completely. Thank GOD you used Havard as an example. Do you know the selection criteria to get into such schools? Any student offered into such schools already has 70% of what it takes to make it through.

In Nigeria, a students that virtually can't read nor spell appropriately will find their way into the university and will be expecting to just pass. If not that lecturers take bribes, most student won't even get to year 3 not to talk of graduating.

The crowd of students Nigerian lecturers get to handle alone is mind boggling as to how they manage to do it.

Let's not even add poor facilities and very terrible working conditions at times lecturers are faced with.

Yet one person that has not even stepped into their shoes will come here to write rubbish about our professors. It's a miracle our lecturers even manage to graduate some students! They deserve even more than 2 million a month.

The Op is obviously frustrated with life & high on weed. How can a student who can't even reproduce what he or she was taught in exam pass?
Intelligent students,who knows why they are in school don't have this thought pattern. He thinks dullards like him are those admitted into Havard.

I don't know how I missed this topic. Well, your display of ignorance is quite amazing I must say. Anyway, continue.

Infact Nigerian universities should all be shut down, no need being taught by a group of "unlearned" intellectuals.

we keep blaming FG but we as individuals also fail in our responsibilities. Education is key to economic growth of a nation but when those saddled with the responsibility of educating the young ones Fail in their responsibility the result is a failed society. The young learn from those educating them and improve on it. If graduates today are called half baked, that shows that those teaching them are not good enough or don’t know it themselves. Our professors don’t deserve that title because we are not seeing it in those they claim to have trained and the society we live in


We will keep blaming the federal government

Yes. Most do.

Most? Then, how come people like me ended up with a first class degree?

And many others with 2'1?

I understand there are one or two courses which are usually too tough. I carried one course like that. 30 (F). There is always mass failure every year. But when I redid the course, I had an A. It turned out that there was actually nothing to fear about that course. Read hard, put in 70% attendance, be respectful, and that is all.

Like I wrote earlier, maybe you are referring to lecturers of state universities or polytecnics.

Malice is everywhere. But don't make it seem like it is entrenched in our body of lecturers.

It is not as bad as you people are making it.


As for the part in bold,

First of all, you need to make the effort to understand the routine of a lecturer. Some lecturers like "give it back to me exactly as I gave you", some like you to be more expressive. This is where it pays to attend tutorials, and ask questions from your seniors.

Second, put in attendance. Most universities (around the world) demand at least 70% attendance.

During exams, read instructions properly before attempting questions. Some papers have questions that are compulsory, and then the choices. If you don't read the instructions, you may fail to answer the compulsory question, and that is a loss of a lot of potential marks because the compulsory question always carries a lot of marks.

Lastly, some students don't know how to answer questions. Either, they answer out of context, make too many unnecessary detours, or try to be smart by half.

I have taken tutorial classes, and I know this very well. In fact, there was a time I had to publish a tutorial pamphlet to instruct students on how to attempt questions.

I studied mathematics, and there were papers during which students were to think, and not merely calculate. And someone will know that this is more of problem-solving using logic, but then they would turn the question around in such a way that they see a need to calculate. Nothing annoys some lecturer as much as that. It not only wastes your own time trying to outsmart a lecturer, it also makes a bad impression on the lecturer who may decide not to waste any more time on your other attempts.

I don't think professors deserve the big money they are asking for. If a professor is as good they claim, they would not care about the pay system because institutiona Abroad would be fighting to have them. Look at the way our nurses and doctors find positions abroad, our professors should be the same.

I call bullshit. First of as a student am I there to understand the subject or the lecturer? Your counterparts abroad dont do half of what you suggested and still pass. M9st students do as you have suggested and still fail yet you still think its the student's fault. Ifs easier to blame the victims in all these and look away from the actual problem but stats dont lie. If the lecturers were any good where are the nobel prizes and the international recognition? How come the public education sector has become so rotten that it is useless?

Most of the proffesor had a good Nigeria when they were young. During their time,it was easy to get into lecturing, and lecturing was a good job. And what useless condition are you referring to? What condition made them a sadist? And be donating depression and frustration to innocent student. It does'nt make sense. They turned themselves to small god, create weak students. Isn't it a shame that they govern the most energetic age of people, the risk takers and yet, they get nothing fro the federal goverment, that shows how useless they are
