professore:
weldone brother. Wishing you all the best. I don't understand the part where you said 'good problem' is leaving the country after completing PhD. Are you saying it is late to wait to have PhD before leaving? In short, when is the best time to leave in your own view, after BSc, MSc or PhD?

After Bsc. is the best time to leave. I would have said before Bsc. but after Bsc. is fine because most jobs abroad don't ask for your degree. Work experience is what is mostly needed.

What I meant by 'good problem' is that, some colleagues with PhD. didn't have much moral to leave after everything. Very small percentage would want to leave because they've been mentally tied with one seemingly lucrative position which is a pure waste of time and resources. At that stage, the cost of relocation for some family increases especially with children.

Out of 9 jobs I applied to here, none required a degree but just experience which you can start as entry role.

Even those who japa via MSC studies, they still finish only to look for care jobs though one can get other professional job.

With all my might, I strongly advise anyone leave Nigeria provided you aren't doing that well.

I can't even believe I am giving this advice. The only regret is not learning handwork. It's a very profitable skill here- any handwork could be better in some instances.

Thanks so much for taking your time to respond, even far beyond my inquiry. Thanks for that bro.

Same with Ebonyi State University, Abakaliki.
No retirement benefits at all.

While the governor is busy with Rivers State politics. Misplaced priorities.

Is he saying that the 30PhD holders resigned because a HND graduate was made bursar of the school

en0uwem:
Read with interest till I got to this point:

Timothy also decried how a HND graduate was appointed Bursar of the university contrary to the provision of service of the university which spelt that only candidates with a minimum of first degree would be considered for appointment as Bursar

Long hiss...
Imagine the discrimination. One would've thought it was an SSCE holder that was appointed.

Talking about Bursar when SSCE holders are president, governor and senators! 😆

clockwisereport:
ASUU IMSU are on strike

IMSU. University without university buildings. Owerri say Owerri must have every tertiary education institution in Imo state because Owerri is state capital. Excess greed.

LoL,,, hope u ain't hating cos u r Hnd holder. It is already spelt out dat a degree cert is needed for dat position. Come to think of it, if Hnd is equivalent to Bsc, y not just call a polytechnic a University instead.


What do I know??

But nothing annoys me more dan those dat uses "This" instead of "These".

You quit your lecturing job?

Amerengues2:
When you cannot meet up with your financial obligations, you find somewhere else to pitch your tent.

Plethora of times, the union keep drumming for support in the Uni through every possible means. Nigerian lecturers, especially, fed govt are the worst paid in the world with little to no quality work condition.

I left last year as well. What you will have left in few years from now are native doctors or 'condoctors'

And what job will you be doing in canada?

princepee:
when you don't value what you have.
If I have PhD I won't be in this God forsaken country.
I will be far away in Canada or Swiss where I will be earning hard currency.

Lectures and teachers in Nigeria are not valued.

How can one japa with a lecturing job. What route will he use?

ogaemma:
Our institutions are not working.
If our institution are working, why will a State University not be in Pension?
Where is the National Pension Commission?
They just sit in their office and collect monthly salary for a job they are not doing like NNPC refinery staff.
Pension is an Act, which means it is a law for organizations and Companies to comply and be in Pension.
Blame the institution.
In no distance time those lecturers will get better offer.
They should try and focus on Kenya, Uganda, Mauritius, Namibia, Ireland and Eastern Europe.
Universities in those countries do not joke with Professor's and University Lecturers from Nigeria.
Wishing them the best.

Try and get the Glassdoor app and click to apply for foreign jobs. Go to the education section.
There are also some reliable job app that can link you with some Universities in Africa and Europe.
Good Luck

Yes! In a Fed Uni in Southwest.

It would appear to be my most sought after job after UNI. However, it turned out to be unsustainable. It's better you leave with your heads High than engage in anything that reduces you and undermines your integrity. Fed Uni lecturers are not well paid.

So what job are you doing now. Still lecturing?

I thought government lecturers are well paid with pension.
