500k in Jonathan's era can achieve so much more. So it has been better in the past regimes. Even Buhari regime boasts of a far better life for citizens. This regime is poor evil.

OgbeniOja1:
Things where a lot better for university lecturers under Yaradua and Jonathan. Being a former lecturer (Jonathan) he gave them good agreements. Then buhari came refused to implement policies and killed the already gotten ones with inflation.
The came Tinubu's Father of all inflation that rendered what remained of their salary useless.

geoworldedu:
The reason was due to human's unlimited want. Humans will always demand a better life. They wanted petrol to be #20 per liter. They wanted bag of rice at #2000. They wanted Oshodi to Ajah to be #200. They wanted Japa costs to be #50,000. Even Tinubu was among them that time. He wanted $1 to be #1

But now Tinubu got there and made everything unimaginably worst. The situation has now gone from bad to 'most worst'

badoh:
Truly, professors and other academic staff are poorly paid and inflation has eroded the value of money, however you will hardly hear these professors most times get research grants from home and abroad which runs into millions of naira. They also get allowances from Tetfund for attending conferences/seminars and they are paid hugely for these.

Endsars failed because at the end na only Abuja and Lagos people dey protest and pretty soon it was hijacked by agents of government and thugs and governors.

OgbeniOja1:
You all think the protest only happened in Abuja and Lagos. That day I was on the road driving long distance using a govt plate number. I had to park and sleep over at a hotel on the way because they had almost descended on my car in 3 different states cos it had a federal govt no. I had to buy card board and write End sars, end bad government so that when I see protest g youths on the road I would bring it out to show support so I won't be attacked. It was a small corolla I used for that official assignment. So please do not believe the narrative that they only protested in lagos and Abuja. I was driving from Calabar to Lagos that day. I slept at owerri. Cos the protest at Umuahia Abia state, and Uyo Akwa Ibom was strong. It was after escaping Owerris lynching I decided to continue my trip the next day abeg. Cos I was wondering what it would be like at anambra and asaba.

I’m curious are lecturers in private universities better paid compared to those in public universities?

egunna:
this is a wrong notion. Do you have to do multiple jobs to survive?in the ideal sense of things, the job that occupies your productive time shud pay your bills. Its not your business to Kno what he earns from another source. If every source is telling him to earn from another source, then where does it end? You re not paying a medical doctor well, tell me y dey won't always give priority to their private practice?

nothingspoil70:
Too many professors in Nigeria. Many are not even worthy of being awarded PHD. We can't finance such a huge number of professors. They must use their knowledge to generate income for their university and make money from there

IamANigerianMan:
If these people are good in their profession , they should make money from other source.... Prof. Steve and others are from Harvard, they make money on YouTube, they teach Python, JavaScript and other programming languages... They have millions of subscribers... They are part of body that regulates most of this languages.....these our Prof should stop depend on government money, government money is not for salary alone

easytig:
70% of those lecturers are evil personified,Na their karma dey deal with them so ,got not pity to give them,very wicked set of people,so many innocent students boys and girls have seen shege from them

clockwisereport:
Prof Adejumo is not serious. He teaches in a public university while all his children attend private university

Toosure70:
This country is affecting all salary earners not on only professors . Prof and Gardner use the same market. Something must be done to minimum wages sharp

Port443:
Same professors that are the returning officer for eye neck?

easytig:
Na Karma go finish all of dem,a whole class will take a course,a lecturer or professor will find it very hard to give distinction to students,Na credit and pass they are happy to give no matter how good the students perform,in oversea Universities to get distinction just study and sit for the paper,they will gladly give you your top grade.

Yeye people calling themselves academia,there is a reason even the elite all send their kids abroad to study

When I wrote here that a professor in Nigeria cannot afford flight ticket with his salary but a factory worker in the U.S can go on full holiday trip to another country with his salary, some people who are supporting the evil in Aso rock where saying otherwise to justify what the evil has turned Nigeria to.

Just imagine the lowest workers abroad earning more than our professors here in Nigeria and yet they are telling Nigerians that they need to pay tax and price of goods and services like those abroad, also telling us that the evil they support is the best thing to happen to Nigeria

Helinuse:
The rule of thumb is “10%” more.

EVERY private university pays only 10% more than public universities for their permanent staff (to retain them) and then about “25%” more for visiting lecturers from public universities (to woo them).

Some universities likes Baze University and some other “New” ones too go up to 25% difference.
