Wenti senators dey add to the country to earn 21 million

Go to senate too to collect your own N21 million too, how is that a problem? Life itself is full of choices, since you know where bigger money is, carry your leg to go into politics and hustle for senatorial position too
If you think some that are there get only WAEC, you that have PhD; you are over qualified already; go there and hustle. Laziness, complaint will not put money into your pocket, go and collect your own N21 million, let those with passion to teach and comfortable with current pay or less take up your teaching position. You won't be first professor or PhD holders in the Senate, they also abandoned TM lecturing to hustle for N21 million you are eying

I know a professor that owns a fully detached house that worth 10b at banana island

what are you saying. There are more than 10000 professors and you saying you know one that owns a house . 🙄🙄

sreamsense:
Did you comprehend my post at all? Since you know being a senator can make you richer, go and join politics now and let those that that are ok with the salaries or lower remain in the system.

After all, many of these professors are not even productive as expected. Even many of those that collected grants for researches die out of the way to waste funds. Some of them are only good at sex for mark. If you know money is in UK, go there and collect your own UK money, let those that are ok with Nigeria pay stay behind

What is there to understand about your self centred mindset?

Are your senators as productive as expected, in lawmaking and oversight functions of the executive branch, to warrant being paid multiple times more than lecturers?

Are your own LGA councillors as productive as expected, in lawmaking and oversight functions of the LGA chairman, to warrant being paid multiple times more than teachers in primary schools that educate every single child free?

“The worst illiterate is the political illiterate, he doesn’t hear, doesn’t speak, nor participates in the political events.

He doesn’t know the cost of life, the price of the bean, of the fish, of the flour, of the rent, of the shoes and of the medicine, all depends on political decisions. The political illiterate is so stupid that he is proud and swells his chest saying that he hates politics.

The slowpoke doesn’t know that, from his political ignorance is born the prostitute, the abandoned child, and the worst thieves of all, the bad politician, corrupted and flunky of the national and multinational companies.”

Life is full of choices. If you think being a president is your priority, go and join politics with your WAEC or professorship/PhD certificate, there is always a minimum entry. As far as I know, nobody puts embargo on PhD or professors not to join politics too if you think they get well paid than you.

Since you know being in senate or be a president is where you can get bigger money, room is opened for you "Waka go there" or if you think UK pay well, no need for you to make noise; process your "Japa", and when you use your professorship or PhD to end up as taxi driver in UK, don't blame anybody, just blame yourself and take responsibility for not being lucky enough like others

If a WAEC holder becomes your president based on your reasoning, is it not more shameful for a professor to even be approaching that "WAEC president" to increase your salary. You see the WAEC president being your boss now and more successful than you, then; then if you are not lazy too, carry your professorship/PhD certificate to also queue for future presidency. It is part of hustling.

It becomes more shameful to allow your certificate to turn you to a lazy person that can not take any more other jobs or compete for better opportunity even in politics or elsewhere, only to wait at the same spot lamenting salary increase on yearly basis

I can now see why we are so intellectually and technologically backward as a people!

Have a nice day,!

How many researches or technological developments are comming out of our universities despite near uncountable lecturers and professors except sex for mark and turning academic to mere relaxation centers? You think you can keep hiding under intellectual properties or researches to hold government at ransom on yearly basis with big grammar when you want to fight for increment ?

How many lecturers we have today in the universities have worked in the industries or remain current and relevant with innovation going out in the industries relating to their fieldd? Many (not all) of those parading themselves today as lecturers don't really have employable practical skills that could make them get employment in many standard organizations before retiring their fate in lecturing.

And some were never even allowed to explore outside before engaging them as lecturers because they have first class in theory. Some of these first class did not even do their SIWES/Industrizl Training or work with standard companies for years to gain practical experience first before retaining them as lecturers and you expect them to be productive and turn out competent and skillful job ready graduates when they themselves don't have modern practical skills, right?

If a lecturer teaching computer science or programming truly knows programming beyond solving quadratic equation or matrices; you think he will remain a lecturer that will be asking for increment on yearly basis, right? You better stop hiding under your usual emotional excuses game cards you play to deceive government when it comes to salary increment.

If you know there is money in politics, nobody stops you from joining them, go and join political party and start your journey. Professors and PhD holders are there in senate or politics, you won't be the first or the last to do so. Life is full of choices! Government just did some increment not too long and you are asking for more because of what happened in Imo state effect

Dennisochampa:
Mention one country in the world where lecturers in Universities earn more than their law makers...... Just one.....

Is it in USA, UK, Japan, Russia or China??

I don't know of other countries, but I am sure a university professor or a medical doctor (specialist) earns more than a Member of Parliament in the UK.

It is not by force to work for government, they should vacate universities and go out to hustle to give room to those that are even ready to collect N200000. There are professors outside schools hustling for their monies, they should go to the streets or politics where they think there is money. Employer can not make you rich, they can only give you money to feed your family. If you want to become rich, go out there and hustle for your money. Even if they are paid N5,000,000 a month, In two years, they will still come back to say they need more. There are many professors, PhD outside academic environment who are employers of labour.

If the two Google guy founders that have up to PhD in Computer engineering and the other in Computer science with parent having professorship background also ended up in lecturing, they will not end up as one of the biggest employers of labour worldwide today . Is not too long that salary increase was done, and if government yields again now. NASU,SANU and many others will also come again to ask for increment. If you think you are eyeing UK money, find your way to UK to look for teaching job or take to odd jobs for survival. When you know where the money is, then use your leg to go there now, and let those that are even ready to collect N100,000 enter

It's a matter of priorities. A country that prioritize Politics over education is destined for failure. A country that sounds more on politicians than academicians, particularly university lecturers will remain underdeveloped. If the best minds and those with calling for teaching are all forced to join politics in order to survive, then result will be illiteracy and semi illiteracy in our institutions. Professors should be professing solutions to scientific, technological and social problems apart from building future generations, instead of hustling outside the academic environment to make money to survive.
The most developed countries of the world have top notch universities, along well renumerated and motivated Professors.

Research isn't done by chalk and blackboard sir.

Research is ALWAYS because of National and Economic Necessity and never for its own sake.

The problem is that
1. Your government prefer Importing Goods and services, thus killing both National and Economic Necessity with one stone.
2. Your government is NOT interested in research, thus there is no INVESTMENT in cutting edge Equipment for specific research
3. Your government doesn't even know what they want from Technology: it is NOT the Job of Lecturers to determine for the government what they think the government should need.


I challenge you you show me just ONE direct research needs of the government as of today and I will show you that it doesn't exist. It's all white bogus elephant!

frog12:
Whereas professors in federal universities earn N633, 333 per month, their Imo University
counterparts take home pay is now N812, 000:

this amount too small?
greed go kill these lecturers oo

Greed ke? How many bags of rice can N633,333 buy? How many litres of petrol can a salary of N633,333 buy? Do you think N633,333 can sustain a man of over 40 years with a family of a wife and three children? Abi, you expect a professor and his family to be jumping korope about and feeding poorly, and staying in a face me I face you apartment. The N633,333 would not even be enough to send his children to a good university in Nigeria.

......and you want to tell me that education is not a scam in this country.Dey play.Day in day out, people get discouraged when they see the illiterate getting richer and the so called educated ones are getting poorer.Things are falling apart, Centre can't hold anything anymore.

That your own post you quoted is so beautiful. This thread has only cemented the opinion I have on a majority of Nigerians.

The innate cerebral capacity is quite below par as expected. I'm reading some comments with utter shock that an individual(s) can actually think in such pattern in 2025.

Sad

So where did they get these information??

Those of shouting and saying they rig elections for politicians, so you guys think those sets will come here and complain abi?

But the post didn't include the set that complained

Yours is quite a very insensitive way of commenting.

Thats a shortsighted way to resolve a problem. All the eating of one election cannot satisfy the hunger of tomorrow

Keep deceiving yourself sir as you downplay the truth.
