Former Covenant University displays his payslip His statement shows that he currently does not work with the institution, as he referred to the school in the past tense.

This is disgusting and hard to believe. Covenant University is very expensive though so what are they doing with all that money

A PhD on 100k salary Wtf. Is it not better to drive korope.

Daddy Oyedepo if this is true I beg you to reconsider you ways. Remember Jeremiah 22:13

Advanced salary for Private Secondary school teacher 😂😂😂

God abeg o, after reaching the peak of my career, do not let me be in a situation that will make me settle for less.

Cos "na make man no hungry" force am accept that bar that year.

Whether they pay was high or low depends on the period. There was a time that 20 naira was greater than 5 million naira of today.

Toxic and depressed people who look for every slight opportunity to attack their fellow human beings are attacking me as if I said something bad here. I do not have all the day to spend on this forum, that was why I did not pay attention to all the details on the posted pay slip. I simply said that whether the pay was good or poor depends on the period he earned the amount. Why not simply tell me that the pay was in 2024? Why are you quoting and attacking me as if I have said that the pay is good in 2024?

You can see that the pay was in 2024. Do you want to tell me that 133k was a high salary for a PhD holder in 2024?

I did not carefully look at the payslip to spot the year. You will be right if you blame me for not paying attention to the details on the pay slip. But my comment is not wrong. I said that whether the payment is poor or high depends on the period. Since he was earning the amount in 2024, the pay was too poor.

Here in the north, Jalingo to be precise, the teachers in Kingdom Heritage school earns 30k. The day one of the pastors of Living Faith told me and my wife the earnings of the state pastor, we almost burst laugh. It is well o😃

I am not going to defend anyone but I know lecturers get some extra benefits. I am wondering why a lecturer will post his payslip, your personal information to prove what point? Back to the extra benefits, one of them will be housing. I don't know what the accommodation was. Some schools have staff quarters which is housing benefit and when people compare salaries, they forget that part. If you have children, they may go to that school free as a staff.

Their academic calendars typically include long breaks between semesters. Although lecturers still do some work during these periods, they usually have more downtime than many corporate roles. Compared with many private-sector jobs, lecturers may teach only a few hours per week. Much of the rest of the time can be self-scheduled. Outside exam periods, schedules can be relatively flexible.

Lecturers often have access to sports centers, libraries, staff clubs, campus transportation systems and other amenities that are usually free or very inexpensive.

When people compare lecturers’ salaries to private-sector salaries in Nigeria, they often ignore the cost savings from housing, schooling, healthcare, and utilities. Those benefits can reduce major household expenses that private-sector workers typically pay fully out of pocket.

These big Pentecostal churches
are simply devilish & wicked, with no
iota of Godliness or milk of human
kindness for people or workers under
them..

All the GOs know is personal and family
luxury, while those under them are meant
to sacrifice themselves.


Nonsense😠😕😡

Me self can't rely on my salary.. if not for side hustle, my fam for don leave me.. plus light situation is crippling businesses now

See that guy asking "what year?" even though the year is clearly stated as 2024? He is one of the lost souls aNurse-licking OYedepo. Nothing you fit tell am, he has something to say to defend this wickedness

Oyepedo who normally is a ruthless shrew. I remember when I was being wooed to come and become a full time pastor there in 2020-21, I just laughed when I heard the terms the church as was proposing for those pastors and they were looking for graduates specifically o.

Hmmmmmm 🤔 You made a point there... But in this context, his experience is just recent. Does the pay justify his qualification and status?

Mumu talk. Oyedepo apologist spotted trying to rationalize the nonsense.

Covenant University can do better. This is just not acceptable.

And same people will be preaching covenant day of prosperity, but won't pay their staff well

Don't defend what is wrong.

I hope this is false because a php lecturer shouldn't earn less then 500k for starters depending of years of experience.

2ndly cannan land is not oyedepo's personal property it is church property. A non profit enitity.

How many Universities, private or public can boast of staff quarters for thier staff in this present day Nigeria?

no,the salary he started was 1980! How you guys think and defend injustice is beyond understanding.

I am not supporting or defending anybody. Let us look at how much his counterparts in other universities were paid in that year.

How are we going to encourage our children to become a lecturer when lecturers and teachers are grossly underpaid by both public and private educational institutions?
I am short of words...

God help us o. I don't want to take sides sha, it is well

Although the pay is very poor. But also check the payslip very well, the man took a salary advance of about 30k plus other deductions, which were removed from his take-home. So he was actually earning around 170K.

Daddy Oyedepo if this is true I beg you to reconsider you ways. Remember Jeremiah 22:13

He has been exploiting the unemployment phenomenon in Nigeria.
Congregation made up of mostly the unemployed.

PhD holder can't be a lecturer 2 except he jst got his PhD while stil being employed and have to wait for promotion .....from d payslip he took salary advance of 33k or so... Make d guy tell us truth abeg... Dis is a salary of someone with msc...

If dis is true then the university should do better.... U can't be collecting huge fees from students and be paying phd holders peanuts.... An assistant lecturer salary in a federal University is 350k... Assistant Lecturer o

As a teacher, your reward is in heaven. This is the lie they keep telling them to rob teachers their pleasure of life.

May God help the teaching profession in Nigeria.

it's still not justifiable

the private sector of academics could care less about your PhD.

I won't be surprise, go to kingdom heritage model schools(Winners)all around you will pity what they are paying their teachers despite the huge amount the school is collecting from learners.
Such a pity
Baba can do better.

All of u defending the pastor...are u guys normal?

LOL wetin be this??😂
As a Level 9 Officer of LASG, my salary is just a few thousands shy of 300.
And my PhD and other 'degrees' are in-view.
