epainos:

You are a slave to government and they will keep playing with your blokos. You know your papers are worthless and cannot compete with good ones out there, so keep blackmailing govt to pay you.

I have given you 5 areas you can work on that can make you attract investors....keep on doing vaccines that have been done. Lol. Poverty has found a home in you.

Oga, I dont engage with stupi.dity and stubbo. rnness.

Goodbye!

epainos:

I don't want to know how inefficiency works. So, you are right. I don't know, and I don't want to know. I don't want to know how you feel okay blackmailing the government for doing rubbish.


When you have an opportunity, grab it. This is what I learned from efficient people. You still have the opportunity in 2027, instead of you to find a way to use that power, you are already saying rubbish. Lol.


The day someone like you changes is the day Nigeria has hope. Very simple. If you can still come up with a useless excuse after what we have exchanged, and still find a reason your colleagues should not do what is right, why should politicians change? You change first.


The lies you keep telling to collect more money from the government. Agric is no more there. Which health are you talking about without agric?


So, with the calculations and examples I give, you still think I follow what people say. Lol. You are the one making strong claims without any support na.

Oga, govt won't reward you for your useless work. Deal with it. Ha! Gone are the days when you could easily blackmail the government. Go and hustle. I have provided you with areas you can work on...please, if you don't have any questions regarding these areas, free me. You are free to continue blackmailing the government. But I can assure you that poverty has found a home inside you. Shikena!

If your next post is not about questions concerning the areas I have listed, I will stop here.

Good luck!

Have you heard about EAA before? If the union you belong to don't push for it, that means you guys don't know your right as workers under federal sector. It is your right to receive allowances as federal worker, Some workers in private sector get allowances talkless of federal government. It will be delayed if the union you belong to don't know their right. You might want to argue on this but the fact is that you are been cheated if you don't receive allowances, how did they want you to survive.

PlsBanMe:
Check the bolded:
1. Only people who have nothing good to give out often resolve to personal abuse or outright insult. You could Jane said everything you said without that sensible human being statement.
2. You obviously did not know that it is not only professors that goes for INEC jobs. I personally know several lectures who aren't on the rank of professor yet that has gone. So, for your information, your for your information is not accurate.
3. You said lecturing in Nigeria is synonymous with slavery. Which profession isn't? Are medical doctors earning enough? Or teachers? Or even bankers? What most earn isn't close to being enough.
4. You asked how many lecturers have time for other things? I never carried out a survey on that. Can you also tell me how many realtors do other things?

You seem very pissed. Take it easy. I pray you find happiness.

SirLakes:


Okay, those who tell you 'Welcome to first bank' at the gate, at the security door are gateman and not security? Am I the one mixing things up?

SirLakes:

Security at the gate?? They earn like that?

Ameduedwin:
that is the mentality of we Black, is security only ment for the gate? security in cooperate organisation are the professional body hire or employ to oversee and protect human life and property of and organisation. some employ graduate and pay them Base on their gualification. those at the gate are for the access control purpose ie to check mate any items going out and coming in for proper documentation . ordinary gate Man can not documents or write incident report nah .

SirLakes:


Which one is black man mentality here

Just simple explanation will do. It is your field or profession not mine! I confused you for a gateman which is often referred to as security. Reason I asked 'the man at the gate?'

Be calming down Mr white man's mentality ;

Greenscientist:


Gone are the days of analog lecturers.

Infact, a lecturing job gives you more exposure, respect than just been a realtor. it all depend on you - How you use the platform.

DrAda:


Please stop. You should know by now that i am one of such workers. There are no allowances

pfadom:
Career is not just about financial benefits, but self esteem. Where the lecturer stands in the next few years could dwarf all your so called financial and career achievements.

To the young academic, just keep your focus and build your network for research collaboration. One research grant could offer everything Mr estate agent live for.

epainos:

I want to accept this, but it is extremely hard for me to. Anyway, kindly give me 3 real examples to back this up.


Exactly my point. This is a job that one does even in old age. When you are good, you will still be consulted. Go ask Wole Soyinka. As long as Dementia is not at work, the person will keep getting jobs even at 120 years old. Na the brain dem need....not the body.

Have you ever heard that Wole joined them? I can bet you that you will know one or two lecturers of yours that the day they close school, they are already out of Naija. Lol.

Lecturers are not government workers only...they are enterpreneurs sir. They hustle for grants...they write proposals...thats how it works. Any lecture who depends on the government is not good at what he does. Believe me.

See...I dont mind being one if time permits me. Cos the only thing I need is an affiliation to an institution. If i were one, that foundation is what I would use as my base while spread my wings and fly to all the continents.


They do nothing. They are olodos. Nope...the same way politicians embezzle money is the way they also embezzle the little fund they get.

Go and ask Akinwunmi Adeshina, the former agric minister under Jonathan (Now Director of The African Development Bank or so) how those guys chop Naija money under him while he was tryiñg to promote agricultural research. You keep reading about agric in my posts...why? That is the simplest and the closest department the Nigerian people need now. Those guys are not doing anything.

I also know what I am saying. Of course, they will come and defend themselves here...but I know that most of them are olodos. Period.

nnamdi640:
You forgot that they receive allowances something most people in private sector don't get. I earn more than them monthly, but with their allowances, I think they are still better than some in private sector, beside their work is stress free

Love800:
What is the meaning of grant?

epainos:

Academicians have the power to show politicians the right way to do it. Are your useless professors, not the RECs during major elections? Is that not implementing a policy? As I wrote earlier, their position is powerful. There are other ways, they can injure bad politicians, but they always choose money. Lol. Policy implementation is the business of everyone. If you don't know this as an academician you claim you are...you are an olodo also. That was the reason I deliberately wrote the two courses.

You guys always want to say you are the best when it is obvious you are olodos. Just imagine the rubbish you are writing here. And you will still return to defend it with another olodo strategy. This is why your papers are worthless.

I guess you still won't understand my point here. From John Cena - You can't see me. Yea...you can't see the point I am making here cos you aren't the best brain like you always claim. How can you? Money is the only thing motivating you all


Oga, tell your "thief thief" academician to not collect bribes again during the 2027 elections. You have the power to stop it. It is part of implementing that policy that was made to save us.


No, you don't. If you were a brain, you would have seen where you guys are messing up.


Should I not praise those who trained me not to be like you? Dey play Ours will be ok when your "thief thief" colleagues stop collecting bribes.


Obviously, you want to prove you are smart by all means, but you are just making a mess of yourself. Go tell your "thief thief" colleagues to stop collecting bribes. You also should stop. If the politicians realise they cannot bribe them, things will get better.

Dey play. The days you blackmail govt are over. Buhari has shown us that you are just goats. Na shout you go shout...nothing you can do....cos you also have nothing to offer. Govt should keep paying for your poor performance. Dey play.

Don't find a way to set yourself apart from these useless ones...keep asking govt for more funds. Go read my past posts. Lol. Govt should be one source of your income...as a brilliant academician, you should have several sources. But cos you are olodos...you always want to blackmail govt.


You are the one who should be reasonable for once in your life. Get it into your brain that you are mostly worthless. If you are useful, govt won't play you around. You are worthless... that's the real truth. I was privileged to be there when Ngige said to your faces that you are worthless. I am repeating it here again...you are worthless. And I support the government, you deserve no increment. You are mostly worthless. Keep deceiving yourself that you are brilliant. The students you always fail are doing well abroad.
This is one of the reasons you are mostly as.sholes. And stop having sex with your daughters. You are mostly worthless.


Sure...I will continue clapping for this issue. When you are ready to make changes, you will make your colleagues who are appointed RECS in 2027 do what is right and just. Keep deceiving yourselves. You and your colleagues are more guilty of this that you have written.

Your leaders are always REC officers. The way they take bribes is the way they embezzle funds given to them. Lol. Dey play.

Know this and have peace....you are getting nothing good enough. Tinubu will only whine you...lol.....If you want to live a good life, read my past posts. Hustle well. Forget about govt and position yourself well. Go back and study. Study the trend and know what investors want in your area of interest. Do a thorough job. You will never call on govt again.

Oga, no more response cos I see you are bent on blackmailing govt....and govt no send you. I also no send you...and most Nigerians no send you anymore. Know this....and have peace.

Be an entrepreneur first. Forget about govt. Only after that you will start flying.

Good luck!

Love800:
What are these other sources of income, if u say one should not rely on govt?

rezy15:

I now know how you operate. You hide your weakness to have a clean discuss by resorting to insults. Show me where you can carry out research with 10k. Even the IAR based works on Soya and groundnut that yielded the Samnut and samsoy varieties we use widely in nigeria spanned decades. Don't say what you don't knw. Shebi u write as u claim. Post the links to your paper and I Will post mine. Speaking of grants, I have never secured a Nigerian govt grant but I have worked on 2 papers developed from grants gotten from non government agencies based abroad. Your take on cost of grants is laughable. Solid journals cost an arm.and a leg. Your a housing agent. Stick to what you knw. It's not my fault u had a traumatic university experience. Don't tag lecturers as dull. Imagine house agent calling kettle black. You guys are no saints either. Go read on works done at research institutes from napri to nvri. Vaccines on trypanosomiasis developed in collaboration with researchers at nvri wasn't developed by housing agents collecting agency fee for housing with outdoor kitchen.

epainos:

This is why I say most Nigerians are olodos. Asking questions that has already been answered. What does it take you to be patient to read more, be thorough before asking questions? Later they will say they fail. Keep depending on govt na. Even if it is hard to get other sources, must you keep depending on an unreliable govt? The Nigerian govt has shown to be a useless one.. must you keep depending on the same entity that has failed you many times?

See...keep waiting for govt. Poverty will dance azonto on your head.

People ask very stupid questions.

pfadom:
There are many local and international research finding agencies from which you could build networks of collaborators, support other graduate research, disseminate your research findings and advertise yourself in high quality journals and international conferences/workshops/symposia and also get some remunerations for yourself.

Just don't limit yourself. Grow yourself through self-development and mentorship from scholars with enviable credentials.

You can do what you enjoy, grow thereby and get yourself decorated through laurels you're able to attract to yourself.

The sky is just the beginning for you.

PlsBanMe:
Yeah... Thanks for copying it on twitter.

Unfortunately, you didn't know that some lecturers are realtors too. Most of them engage in other businesses that bring more money than salary.

But of course you do not know that.

They may even get scholarships or grants that you won't get as easily as they can. Plus some of them work for INEC and earn money. They sometimes do consultancy. They work as facilitators for FG, world bank etc training, none of which you will qualify for.

Love800:
Pardone.
Am sorry if my question provoked u. I dont mean any harm.
I was just curious to know the other avenues to earn. Because i intend going into academics too.

Love800:
Pls i want to ask.
Dis grant of a tin, is it dat after securing the grant(which is money or funds), then u use it to write or do ur research. After finishing the research, will u be paid for it? And who is paying u for dis?

epainos:

Ok. Some guys there who are researchers annoyed me...so I felt you are one of them...but at the same time, you can get more clues from my previous posts.

Anyway, going into academics is a very good decision. The idea is that your salary is the smallest fraction of your income. Trust me...it is. If you know what you are doing, your brain can put money into your pocket till the last second you pass to eternity.

Private businessmen are the ones you are there to serve and not the government. If you get govt's contract...good...but you don't aim for that. Govt will employ you when private businesses give good recommendations about you. Think of it...politicians always roll with businessmen. That's how it works.

Look at your field very well, and get the most recent trend there. Who are the big players in your field? What are they into? Check out recent research the there. From there, you start mapping out a way for you to get done what they need. Remember, it is what they need and not what you think is smart or think they need. Nope. Find out what they need. Find out the problems they encounter seriously and solve them. If you can get an evergreen area, that is a joker. That's a big win. An evergreen area is always relevant, so you keep making money back to back for many years for anything you patent and they use.

But these lecturers here...they just want govt to keep paying them more for teaching old things. How many of them give scholarship to their students? Lol. Most of the scholarships Nigerians and other nationalities get to study abroad are from the lecturers. It is sort of the reward for the students to come on board and assist them with the research they are doing. That free tuition and other fees are from the money awarded to the lecturer. Scholarships just dont fall from heaven. And if you check, the bulk of these funds are from the private sector. Our lecturers are idiots doing nothing. No private organisation is patronizing them cos they are mostly worthless. So the only option they have is to keep blackmailing govt to increase their salaries.

If you want to go into academics, leave Nigeria. It is not worth it. Those lecturers are stumbling blocks.

Love800:
These local and international research agencies, where can one find them? Offline or online?
And i want to ask. After receiving grant to do a research, when u are done with the researching, do u get paid?
What are the benefits of doing researching?

pfadom:
You could search for them online depending on your field of research and with well-written research proposal.

You could make budget for yourself, research assistants, and other personnel, materials, equipments, services, travels and miscellaneous for the successful completion of the project within the target period.

Love800:
Thanks so much.
I want to study english.
Is english a good course to do research and publications on?

And pls what do u mean by the bolded. I was finding it difficult to comprehend.

rezy15:

Grants are of diff forms. Some cover all expenses pertaining to a research. Some part of it. Grant isn't even necessarily money. Could even be access to a laboratory in another country to carry out some analyses. Real elaborate grants even places the researchers on a stipend and cover travel expenses. End result of any grant requires your findings to be published in high quality journals, may even require presentations at conferences. Contrary to what some pple alluded to earlier, you don't propose a study just cos you think it's relevant. [/b]Grant awarding bodies have terms of reference that have to be followed to be even considered.
In more saner climes, staff of a dept are for the most part employed under a running grant. [b]Only a few are tenured. A grant can last for years, allowing the dept to employ staff and admit students that will work under a project. The employed staff will in turn service the dept on a number of roles. Here in Nigeria there's no target set on staff per se. Aside published works and admin duties, you dont need much to make promotion. How many professors today will mk that rank if a grant condition was set? While that would improve the quality of research and qualified hands, it's not actually the fault of academics. The tetfund we are even talking of was borne out of agitations by academic staff. Where are the industries and pharmaceutical companies? They are the backbone of research in foreign countries. Pfizer can sink in billions every year to Harvard or Texas a&m to research cancer. Na orange drugs go fund research here?

epainos:


Hmmmmm! I don't know, but look at prof. Wole Soyinka very well. He dived into African related stuff because that was the angle he could sell well. Can you beat a British, American or Irish when it comes to their language? I doubt it. Naturally, investors will turn to them. But I think if you look into African culture and can blend it into your area, it is the way to go.

Go online and research what areas Yoruba teachers who are presently awarded special visas to the US are doing there. I think Hausa is demanded too in the US, but not sure about Igbo. It is not by sentiment, go for what these people need. I have given you clues.

You may need to go outside what you like or what you think is good, but do what they want now. Then, look at those universities presently employing yoruba teachers. You can see if there are scholarships you can apply for. Or research stuff you can do. If you cannot get, you may just find any legal means to get to the US, Canada, UK or Australia...and then get your shi.t started there. We are over 300 millions in Naija...so, the bar is so high now. Crush all hindrances by any means.

Just do it!


------
As regards what I wrote earlier...can you get scholarship in Nigeria? Yes or No. Go back and read the post again...you will get my point.

Love800:
Ok.
So if ur findings or research is published in high quality journals, what does it mean? What are the benefits for you to be in a high quality journals or presentations at conferences?

Pls what do u mean by those words i bolded?

Babysho:


Your thinking is all wrong. This individualistic thinking of not wanting better for your brothers and sisters in your class will ultimately allow the bourgeoisie use your head for life.
In that case, since you're suggesting that what the lecturers earn is decent, you don't deserve better either. Or maybe you actually think you don't deserve better 🤔

Nwanna2588:
I've perused the comments, and predictably, encountered acerbic retorts instead of a discerning analysis. Rather than addressing the core issues, those lambasting educators ought to introspect. Just because your occupation is lucrative doesn't exempt you from recognizing the pressing concerns raised here. Teaching, the progenitor of all professions, demands prioritization for societal advancement. Detractors asserting worthiness despite subpar research are missing the point. A proficient system would curtail such deficiencies. Don't demand research while depriving the means for it. Let's initiate reform, perhaps by elevating education to exclusive status, akin to healthcare. Bemoaning the paltry earnings of graduates is valid, yet defending such injustice undermines meaningful discourse. I conclude my reflections here.

epainos:

You are a slave to government and they will keep playing with your blokos. You know your papers are worthless and cannot compete with good ones out there, so keep blackmailing govt to pay you.
