Victor Asemota says schooling in UK opened him up to a different perspective on lecturers.

He is of the opinion that UK lecturers are more concerned with imparting knowledge and are eager to answer the questions of their students.

On the other hand, students who dare question Nigerian lecturers are doomed.

He just said the truth
Most Nigeria lecturers are demons

There are many of us who have been intimidated and bullied by lecturers in Nigerian university and we can't say anything for now. They should wait we ll soon have their time

Most of them have inferiority complex..!

Cause most of them can't really defend what they teach..!

Losers, they always forget that we are the future..!

All those lecturers frustrating me, I am marking their names and faces down, cause who knows, in the future I might do my own back..!

You call your lecturers by first name in the UK. In Nigeria you are doomed should you refer to a professor as Dr.

I insist Leadership in Nigeria is a microcosm of our general society.

lecturer will be saying we should not use another method other than the method he taught us..! Seriously..!!

Schooling in the uk made me realise nigeria was beyond redemption.

OK? Why is that news to him?

Is that the ONLY difference(s) he noticed schooling in the UK?

He could as well have told us how they've got better infrastructures... How they're a developed nation... et al

Bullying is central to African culture especially when it is done by an adult. If you dare complain you would be labelled as uncouth and rude. This is the root of abuse and corruption perpetrated by lecturers on our campuses

In your mind?

U were making perfect sense until u brought in "Pedagogy and Feudalism". Thank God for dictionary

To be born in Nigeria is a sin.

Being stucked in Nigeria is an unforgivable sin.

Work hard and give your child the chance to escape this shit hole.

not totally correct. If a lecturer asked you to call him by his first name in Nigeria, will you agree?

No you won't. You will be like " I can't do it" it is culturally wrong. Bla bla!

Though it's rampant in Nigeria, it's simply a thing of the mindset. It's usually those lecturers who don't know their stuff that make class interactions difficult.

That's how I went for IT, came back feeling so fly cuz i had an 100% upgrade on the outdated knowledge the department has been feeding us. On the last slide of my presentation I made a suggestion to my younger colleagues.... One lecturer picked offense as he felt I was showing myself... The bottom line is that my life in school neva remained the same again.... The way I failed that semester cha..... The scars of that incident still remain visible in my life till date...

We are just sick in this country, PGD and MSc that are advertised as 18 months can never be 18 months, I have heard situations were PhD programs are being run for 8 years and counting.

You hear the flimsy excuses by your supervisors that they did their program for five years and at that no individual would run less amount under their tutelage.

We are our own problems walahi

In a significant, OAU philosophy department stands as an exception to this. DM for. Info @signature

Big diff

...lecturers...

Yea right

It's a different case for me.Most lecturers in chemical engineering of ABU ZX in the got there msc and PhD abroad.It was indeed cool for me cos it was like the foreigners teaching u.

Dr. Nwankwoejike from the Mech. Eng. Dept and Dr. Okorie from the Dept of chemistry in mouau back then were demigods.. those who know, know.

Lords of their lecture rooms & progress to the oza room ...

@OP It is much of lecturers’ fault as it is the students’. Most importantly, the fault of Nigerian parents who stiffle independent thinking in their children while growing up.

I try to create interactive classes & encourage my students to pursue different perspectives on topics. Interestingly, they tell me they want notes & imposition of my own perspectives on things.

I was taught by my lecturers years ago that, in Humanities, there’s no wrong answer in scholarship as long as it can be argued with verifiable proof presented in a logical structure.

I try to pass this on but Nigerian students are wired to look up to the lecturer to supply and then they recycle in tests/exams, a very draining & stupid thing.

Nigeria Sha.

Nigeria don tire me I swear, getting it wrong on every angle
