I no know wetin i still dey do for here oooo

They are leaving because what most of them enjoy most is sex for mark and this has put many of them into problems, so better to move before the problem comes, most of them can not do without that, if they are good let them go and contest with people that they claimed not having a certificate, what is stopping them from contesting as house member, a rep, senate etc.

[Everything seems to be falling apart in this country. People are leaving in droves. Who will salvage this country quote author=ijustdey post=126214179]

Mass exodus from rice bandits.

Emilokon and agbodo miscreants will be left.

Sorry after reaching a certain stage in your professional career driving Uber no matter how favorable the exchange rate is for you is a big step down and psychologically damaging. Life is not only about food and irrelevant material trinkets, you also need a sense of fulfillment and sense of belonging, but you will not understand.

There's no sense of belonging to a man who is hungry.
The worst psychological damage any man will ever experience is the pain and torture of his inability to provide basic needs for his family.

God punish Buhari and his supporters especially the ones here on nairaland

at least I know 2 lecturers from the university of Ilorin who has successfully Japa to Canada. those that remain are also planing their trips to western world...

Like I said earlier, you have valid points but the term "world class" is subjective. I graduated from Unilag and I presently live in an area that has 3 universites. Namely, ODU, NSU and EVMS in Virginia. These universites are considered top notch but add all these universites together in term of structure, they are below Unilag. Our educational institutions need urgent financial interventions but still not the worse and our best will compare and compete with the so called world class universites in US and UK.
I used to live few miles down the road from Chicago state university. CSU is not bigger, not finer, does not have a better structures than Unilag. That is a fact

nairalanda1:


Even then, I still stand by my points.

Many Nigerians come and moan about how bad their universites are, and then when told of the financial and other implications to bring them up to scratch, they start shouting poverty.

It is either we want world class, or we accept our bad universities as they are and stop complaining.

BloomingDale:
White men should please stop all these mass migration to their countries, and help us help the African man to stay and build his country. Don’t allow the African man to eat from the table you have prepared for yourselves, women and children. Help us help him prepare his own table for himself, women and children. I beg of you. The shame is too much for us that they cannot build a decent civilization for himself, women and children.

Good talk, Ma'am!
But these White folks are also benefiting as, 🍅 from the Cheap Labour presented to them.
The Irony of it all is the 2nd-Colonisation by the White man in disguise - by offers of more Salaries and Allowances, pleasant Environment, comfortable accommodations but these Black man looses their Freedom,as their rights are curtailed and face the same starck realities of shame and undeginified personality,with inferiority complex.
Nothing to celebrate from the Japa Syndrome in Nigeria Contex,unlike the Chinese,India, that do return home to play a Nationalistic game by Building their Country!

Even then, our universities are underfunded, and lecturers are leaving our unis to the same universites that may not be 'up to Unilag status' because the pay is better, and crucially they have access to better research facilities and connections.

We got to tell our selves some hard truths.

This 25 percent increase we nor see chi chi..fg should stop lieing ..I didn't see any increase and we got paid yesterday..salary was d same

naso

I asked one of my friends with this similar thought how much he paid for light with all the appliances he used, and he said 500 naira per month.
How such kind of person compare Nigeria with the UK you pay huge taxes for everything there.

Whatisurproblem:
how sure are you? You stressed me scrolling, I deduced from the first two lines every content in the post was rubbish so I aborted mission

Even then, you did.

Failed state awaiting total collapse. Everything's shutting down systematically.

sukkot:
well said, most are regretting the moves now, a guy said he saw an old security guard in the west end of london, bond street, as he got closer he saw it was his uni lecturer. full of regrets

una go just dey cook stories just to pls ur ego..if u don't want to Japan rest and allow sane human being who want to Japa Japa..u can make Nigeria great again..baba God pik my call abeg cuz of my children

Those who want Nigeria to break are the ones that voted for the wrong party

its a true story though. sell your papa house to get ticket and visa money

Truth remains that as long as the dollar to naira remains the way it is, japa will be difficult to stem...only those earning in USD will wanna stay.


when dollar was 150 naira, a laidback, easy-going lecturer who just wanna impact knowledge and earns 150k (1000 USD net) may not be anxious to relocate to a country where he may not easily get his prestigious lecturing job and level and have to resort to odd jobs and even if he gets a ecturing job may not earn more than 3-4k net, which is about 450-600k NGN, which he probably already gets by combining multiple lecturing jobs, consulting or even doing side business here in Nigeria. Same guy in 2023 understands that the 4k net he will get out there is 4m in naija and he still probably earns 150k-200k.....so tell me what u wanna say to him to keep him here if he has the opportunity....years back, people leave naija to go sch abroad and then come back to lecture

Left the country few days to visit someone and the crowd at the airport is mind blowing. Experiencing life outside the country shows better quality of life and me got serious thinking of leaving asap

I need space to get a lecturing appointment, I am studying for PhD, to also japa subsequently in due course after building my CV!

pongwa:
shut up! There is no crisis anywhere. As people dey go, plenty people dey to fill up their positions. Anyone wey wan go make e go

how many people has this irresponsible govt employed .are u awear there is an embago on employment across all fg university for over 8 yrs

Our universites are underfunded and that needs to change ASAP. The government needs to increase funding and the students need to bear greater burden too. Our universites needs to focus resources for optimal usage. Some discipline need to be phase out.
Our lecturers leaving Nigeria universites has nothing to do with structures. It has everything to do with better life. Nigeria is a hard place to survive and people will their chances the first time asking.
Teaching jobs rank among the lowest paid job even in America. An average salary of a teacher with masters degree in Virgina is $45k while a diesel mechanic without high school diploma makes $55k easy. I teach in community College in Virginia and I had to leave cos the pay socks.
The truth we need to tell ourselves is government need to do more, students/parents need to do more and our universites administrators need to do more by judicious spending resources and cut out waste cos government does not have limitless resources.

Let them go,others can take their jobs.

Not sure I agree

BanyXchi:
We need to restructure the country.

NORTHERNERS ( CORE NORTHERNERS ) ARE AFRAID OF RESTRUCTURING.

They prefer the one kobo coming from crude oil.

RepoMan007:

You and your stupid arguments again. After petrol subsidy, it is education subsidy.

Is Cambridge the only school in the world? If we pay lecturers by Cambridge standard, will they pay utility bills at same cost in UK? Or eat at same cost in UK? Or move around at same rate as UK? Or pay taxes at same rate? Or leave girls alone like Cambridge lecturers do?

Your brain should tell you it isnt the same thing to live in UK and Nigeria so same labour should never be rewarded based on profession but on many factors.

You will be shock that they are still collecting salary from government. Many of them works in different schools collecting good pay, alot of them are better than 75% of Nigerians,yet they wont be satisfied. The quest to accumulate wealth is the major downfall of black race.

Government should fish out these people, remove them from their payrolls and employ others that needed the jobs. 99% of them won't resign, and will still be collecting salary they don't work for. I knew many of them back then in school.

Want better funding? Fees.

Even for Nigeria to be better, tax to gdp ratio rising is one of the many solutions.

I'm not aware but I know people who are taking the fg teaching jobs. Government recruits on a daily basis those who know knows. That's just the plain truth. The recruitment is not always fair and the best people don't get the jobs but I can tell you for a fact FG is one the top recruiters in this country

They will never listen. It is Olorunsogo syndrome. Imagine comparing salaries without taxes, cost of living and wasted highly qualified talented migrants eating crumbs from masters' tables. Too ashamed and disappointed to tell their stories.

Another factor is the caste untouchable stigma at home that make them decide nothing can be worse.

In a video, when they were caught with drug, was asked if they were aware of death penalty. They said they know. They also know about Asma Boys across the sea and desert that take body organs from them, sell them as slaves for anything desired.

Cry for Africans.

This is presently affecting my faculty. There is a significant shortage of lecturers and we have one lecturer teaching like three courses. A number of them have left for the UK.

The worse part of it is that, they won't resign to allow government to hire new set of brilliant youths. I don't know about other sectors but I am 100% aware of that of lecturers.

The salary of what they don't work for is pilling in their bank accounts.

I hope they won’t Japa and behave the way they were behaving in Nigeria. Some lecturers don’t deserve pity
