Politics is not easy my brother.. atleast the lecturers can sleep with their two eyes closed but politicians cannot because they are always involved in one dirty thing or the other..

Any way, the lecturers can as well join politics. They are not forbidden in politics na..

So if all workers join politics, who will teach students? Will you employ foreigners, and pay $1000 per month for professors?
If you are sick, you will pack yourself abroad for treatment or be using about?
I just laugh when people keep talking about letting everybody join politics if they like.
Another funny thing is saying some people are not productive cos they are seeking employment under someone. Do you guys think entrepreneurship is for everyone?
I have realised time ago that our politicians cannot change to do the right things, cos they still have many ready to defend them against people asking for their right.


Lest I forget, politics is not suppose to be a job, but a form of patriotic service to one's fatherland.

OLOKOESHIN:
Let's check
I think those profs are also greedy too
If you are really correct with the amount politicians earn on monthly basis 4 4yrs. I think it worths it compare to the responsibilities they carry during the period. Prof will retire at the age of 70 probably work for 40+yrs...So politicians salaries are obsolete just for 8yrs highest with lots of people on his neck if he wants to do the right thing. Councilors don't earn up to that to say the truth
The country is still not good but those unproductive lecturers are just fighting for their pocket using students to catch cruise

Government give them accomodations, Government give them research bonuses and the likes still yet they are still wasting our time with their useless strikes

You hit the point! Many of them aren't aware of all these.

God bless you!
I don't know why they must keep comparing themselves with politicians. If every other worker compares themselves with politicians, we will shut down the system completely.

If you want to be rich as politicians, re-sign your job and go and contest and you see how it be.
If there would be strike at all, I expect all the workers in the country to embark on strike against bad governance, wastage and corruption, insecurity and mismanagement of the economy.
These affect everyone and will improve the lives of everyone irrespective of your income.

Is this money for recharge card or is it for fuel?

dfrost:
Everything is not working abi? And politicians have money to throw around?
Please come up with another excuse.

if medical consultants and other professionals go on strike the way ASUU do and with the kind of attitude they show, what do you think would become of the country? Nigeria lectures are not the only government workers poorly paid if at all they are but they make most of the noise idk if someone forced them to take the job.

Other government agencies have been able to their demands without incessant strikes. Schools have been locked for more than six months! this is a show of heartlessness by ASUU. Politicians are throwing money around Nigerians are starving but at least the government increased the salaries of lectures by 100℅.

Its time they go to those universities that can offer them everything they want, doctors are doing same

N60,000 just as INCREASE? but most Nigerians will jump up for joy to get that amount monthly. What an unbalanced life. N20,000 one-off to market women and they rejoice.

OGHENAOGIE:
what are universities generating to Nigerian economy compare to those establishment pple collect big money if anyone isn't comfortable with d salary as a lecturer resign and go work where de ll pay u big pay... Is there any Prof in Italy that can earn what osihmen is earning... How much student de pay compare to what students pay in many European countries to warrant what they pay lecturers there... How many graduates even see 100k monthly collect self...

There won't be need for back-and-forth, but just know that Nigeria lecturers are the least paid in Africa, and by extension, to the world.

If Profs get 60k increment, I wonder what an Asst Lecturer would get, maybe 5k

,,,,,,,,,
Assistant lecturer is a graduate assistant, and receives a stipend and not salary as determined by the department or faculty. Others herein as stated receive between 30 & 60K, though.

How much do you get for recharge card or fuel? How much do other majority of Nigerians get for recharge card or fuel?

Obi4Ever:
What can 60k do for them?

Make dem dare strike for Obi regime, E go show dem pepper!

Resign with immediate effect.. This guys are not serious at all. They are still taking this country for a joke....

9jii:
Useless certificate.
All these profs that can't be productive and keep producing unproductive graduates that are only good at looking for salary jobs.

Be smart and be productive in way possible. Be free from the system.

profs didn't send you to you useless,you dimwit,there are people from your class who are successful,blame yourself for not having a brain...bastard

Amerengues2:
ASUU-FG impasse continually meets a brick wall because deception, chicanery and thrives in Govt' veins.

I am ashamed the way governments belabour on Prof's (about 6%-9% of academic staff) salaries alone when in actual fact, this strike is for the entire system.

How can a Graduate Assistant be earning #105-110k

How can an Assistant Lecturer be earning #120k+ even with MSc,

How can PhD, be earning #148k plus.

We had better told ourselves the truth.

Ordinary Bsc. earns 300k in some organisation and some even earn more than profs.

They will write, research and submit publications to journals and pays in dollars out of this salary.

Most will even equip their offices with this same salaries.

When we are ready, let us know

You're informed Bro, Impressive!

adioolayi:
What's 60,000

A young Professor will still not earn #500,000 ...even the older ones will barely crossed #500,000.

Still Nonsense!

If ASUU gree, I repeat, dey are EPA.

Seriously old Professors in my school are earning less than 350k, I don't know of younger ones, my uncle snapped his January 2022 salary payslip and posted in our WhatsApp, it was 341k.
This man will retire in 3 years time, He's 67 this year and got this job when he was 31.
After 36years in service, he is earning 341k still living in a flat! Not even a bungalow

Also note that Nigerian primary and secondary school teachers are the least paid in Africa. Medical doctors are the least compared to SA and other sane societies.
So University lecturers are not the only least paid people in Nigeria. They should stop this noise and get back to work.
They keep comparing with other countries without comparing the school fees paid else where and the cost of living.

How many Professors in SA or Europe has two houses and the retirement age is 65. I don't know of anyone but they have relatively decent economy which is all what we need. I don't know of any Nigerian Professors with less than two houses and they will retire at 70 despite the high unemployment among the youth. Wicked People!!!

Let's appreciate cerebral and Intellectuals for once! What you also said lends further credence to the need for us all to wake up to these obnoxious rape on intellectual and hard work.

Why should we be the least?! If we can't all ask questions, knowing fully well we are a rich nation (barring corruption and mismanagement), then we have failed out generation and the ones to come.

So appreciate intellectuals coming out to fight for what is right. I hope you know that, with this agitation, many other cheated occupations are now coming to terms with ASUU agitation.

In sum, permit my submission because not many of us are going to be intimidated by leaders who are found in deriliction of duty who fattens their pocket and yet, they feel other hardworking Nigerians should be paid minuscule amount.

Oh my God! What level of ignorance is this?!

Stipends?!

What the hell is 60k in this present economy.

Show who pepper.. Lolz..

If at this point Nigerian students have not woken up to the realities of government's non- interest on this ASUU strike matters then I should be believing that they are really using juju on the entire citizens. Imagine, for more than 6 months of delayed and wasted destinies only to wake to promises and unreasonable offer. I weep for the future of this nation. From the eyes of our present leaders, our country is getting into coma. Awake Nigerians. God help us.

........
Ignoramus, a postgraduate person in American parlance is a graduate person. When you pursue or intend to pursue a doctorate degree, you must be a graduate assistant aka assistant lecturer/instructor and receive a stipend in most US universities. Now, here are:
'''Requirements/Qualifications Candidates seeking
appointment as Assistant
Lecturer must possess a good Master's degree or excellent
or a very good first degree
in the relevant field. No previous teaching experience is
required'''.
Dummy, are you OK, en ce moment.

the big question should be asked:- If government do as they are saying,we the lecturers increase the educational quality??

Done talking with you on this. You are right!

We are discussing Nigerian university here you are citing abroad. Lol.

For the records, please do to federal universities in Nigeria and see that

1) Assistant Lecturers earn salaries and not stipends.

2) Graduate Assistant isn't the same as Assistant Lecturer.

You will be employed as a graduate assistant first and after earning your MSC,you will get promoted to Assistant Lecturer.

Stipends?! Lol. No dear, Assistant Lecturers earn salary and they have a scale.

What I just told you is more than 100% facts and not you browsing.

Please don't quote me again.

is it now ASUU that has interest?...Oga make una go sit down one place

Secondly:
ASUU wanted 180% increment in their salary.

They got 18%

What an embarassmkent

They should thank their stars that it's not private establishment. The same ASUU that are less concerned that their products are jubilating because of 30k stipend. They are comparing themselves to politicians when most of them also leave teaching for politics as if they don't know that politicians gets more pay than them.

What will the government primary and secondary staff do? Not that most of them deserve where they are self. Only in one University, we have more than 300 professors not to talk of other senior lecturers. They want to compare this to politics.

The same ASUU that don't want Govt to privatize public universities. Be sincere with yourself, the suffering outside is more pronounced more than what ASUU are projecting every year as if they are the civil servants.
They behave as if there is no difference between public servants and civil servants.

Let ASUU come out to say that they went on strike because of salary increment not revitalization brouhaha.

You are incorrigible! Does it matter what the income is called: wages, payment, salaries, paycheck, etc. It has been determined (sic) in Nigeria that anybody with less than a doctorate degree cannot be a bona fide member of the university teaching staff. Anyway, I stated the facts (evidence, does not mean truth, take note) about an assistant lecturer before I lifted my claim from the internet in support; it is not browsing. Does it matter whether I advert to foreign or local tertiary institution? An assistant lecturer assists as a candidate for a superior degree, and the income may come by any name. Is it laughing jackal or jack ass on nitrous oxide per lol?

Lol

Save yourself from this verbose screed to explain a non-existential logic that Graduate Assistant is Assistant Lecturer. They aren't the same.

"a stipend is given to support someone while undergoing training or learning and isn't considered compensation for work performed"

So as a matter of fact, Assistant Lecturers earn salaries and not stipends because they get compensated for work performed.

Again, never equate both Assistant Lecturer with Graduate Assistant, they are different.

My claim as against yours:

Assistant Lecturer isn't the same as Graduate Assistant.

Assistant lecturers are paid salaries.

If you still contest these two facts, then what I fear may chance!
