Why Criticise ASUU? by Ttabang(m): 9:20am On May 25, 2020
BEFORE YOU CRITICISE THE LECTURERS TAKE A LOOK AT THIS;

Salary for Lecturers After IPPIS DEDUCTIONS: Take home
PhD LII is #130,000
PhD LI is #163,000 plus min. 3 years post PhD
Senior Lecturer #235,000 plus min. 6years post PhD
Professor ��‍� #345,000 plus min. 10 years post PhD
Senior Professor ��‍� #423,000....
Minimum of 3years gap with fucking hard work �, even many spend as high as 5years b4 u can move up d ladder of promotions.

REMEMBER
From these peanuts of a pay;
They teach a crowd for a class
They supervise multitudes
They attend conferences from their pockets
They attend seminars from this peanuts
They write and publish articles in reputable journals (enquire the cost of publishing).....etc
They undergo rigorous stress to carry out research.
They spend minimum of 4 years in BSc
They spend minimum of 2 years in MSc
They spend minimum of 3 years in PhD (in Nigeria is near impossible they even spend upto 5 years and above).

Consider their rigours, the pain, the emotional trauma, physical drain, brain drain, intellectual drain they go through just to be qualified for their job specification...

I think our Lecturers work like elephants and earn like ants, they deserve a better pay or renumeration.

In terms of welfare:
You know that 50% of your lecturers don't have good offices, the ones that have no furnitures.
Most Lecturers lack good working environment.
Most lecturers handle/teach a crowd of students yet they still try to deliver lectures in such environment (instead of the normal 30-50 students class size).
Most Lecturers supervise projects at their expense.
You want his best yet you deny him the best.

When you compare this salary with those of other Federal Govt agencies it's very very ridiculous.
If you compare it with Universities abroad then Nigeria �� salary scale for lecturers is infinitesimally small.
I have friends that earn more than a senior lecturer and doesn't have PhD, so it's impoverish to be a lecturer in Nigeria �� Universities.... the thieves in government with just secondary school � certificates earns way higher than a professor so what we saying....

Before you criticise them;
First put yourself in his shoes
Could you have studied to PhD just to earn #130,000?
Could you have invested the better part of your life upto Prof just to earn #345,000?
Think! They may not have been the best they should yet they are among the best in the world especially if they are giving the right environment to practice.

Is it too much to demand for the revitalization of the universities infrastructure?
Is it too much to ask for their earned academic allowances?
Is it too much to ask for offices for staff?
Is it too much to ask that more lecture venues be constructed for students?
Is it too much to ask for good laboratories for practicals?
Is it too much to ask for their rightful wages?
Is it too much to ask for the upgrade of our universities?
Is it too much to ask for our university system to be sustained and handed to our unborn children better than it is today?
Before you criticise ASUU/Lecturers think.
Except you are happy with the state of the university system.
If things continue like they are today just be rest assured that one day there may be no schools no universities for our yet to be born children.
If this continues one day there maybe no universities for the common man's children one day education maybe only for the elite class.
This is the future ASUU is preventing so our children can enjoy better and affordable University education we never had.

Let's support the course to a better education in our country rather than join forces with our oppressors to fight the only body trying to protect the extinction of our education.
Support ASUU to hand a better universities to our children than we met it.

NO COUNTRY CAN GROW BEYOND IT VALUE FOR EDUCATION.

God bless our Lecturers
God bless ASUU
God bless Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Covid has helped their business, let them start teaching online and save themselves the stress.. We cannot keep wasting the lives of our youths under the guise of strike action.

It pains me when I see Nigerians attacking and antagonizing ASUU for demanding their dues.
You hear "ASUU is corrupt".
"Lecturers are thieves"
"Sabbatical sabbatical bla bla"..
"They teach in 10 universities at the same time" angry

Sabbatical that you can only go for at the rank of senior lecturer.ie after teaching for 9 straight years in over crowded over populated under equipped classrooms.
And only comes at 7 year intervals also.
Why is it that the little pittances lecturers get for their hardwork is hurting Nigerians so much.
I think much of this is coming from the hate and animosity most Nigerians have towards their lecturers because of their unsavory history with them.
But the truth is that our lecturers aren't getting a penny more than they deserve. Don't we see them in our schools? The same lecturers we make mockery of their lifestyle.
How many Nigerians want to be lecturers?
They'll tell you it's too much work and suffering with little pay but then they turn around to attack same lecturers for "corruption".
Why are Nigerians just wicked.
The education sector received an allocation of N48bn in the 2020 budget.
If the federal government is seeking to cut down cost of governance, then the education and health sectors should be the last places to dip their greedy hands into.

Nigerian Educational sector is so belittled by FG.
But really Nigerians should realize that really knowledge is gained from school. Beautiful day ahead of you.

It seems you are out of touch with the reality. If you really went to school you will appreciate what we are talking about. Is government's treatment to them fair? Go through the post very well again please.

Too bad and this guys have their children abroad. If its not that bad, let them allow their children here. The government has so made everyone feel as though ASUU is the problem of education in the country.

Okay if its not that bad, let them pay them what they are paying the lecturers where their children are.
Must we always treat ours with utter disdain?

Ippis from what I am hearing is deducting salary every month. Each month different pay. That is bad
