How many of them will continue their professional career in the so called abroad, you better leave story and stop getting impressed with sound bites without knowing the full story, most of them just committed career suicide. They are all in the US driving Uber and doing deliveries their little saving grace is the exchange rate but no fulfillment.

Many are not going there for their personal fulfilment. They are going there to give their families a good life. They've tested the waters and concluded they can do it.

Unlike the local citizens there with immoderate spending habits regardless of race lol, many of them would have a strong saving and investment culture knowing fully well say nobody send their papa. 90% of them will be fine. Maybe another 80% will be back (to Nigeria) depending on their age.

However, it would be to retire and live large for the rest of their natural lives. Dem know wetin Dem dey do.

The figures in this report are exaggerated

nairalanda1:


1.This shows that there has been 8 years of disaster, and the effects of corruption. I have to mention this

2.It also shows the effect of low fees, low fees and did I say low fees and low income.

In 2018, the then VC of ABU Zaria gave a speech. In the speech, he made two comments that I am going to list below

1.His overhead costs for the previous year were 600 million naira. Government gave him 120 million. Where is he going to find the remainder of the money

2.If you want Cambridge level universities, pay Cambridge level fees.


Now, you are free to insult, abuse, mock, call me insensitive, call me the son of a canine, etc.

But our universites are and always have been BROKE. And underfunded. As a result, we cannot do high quality research, pay high quality salaries, and pay for high quality facilites. The hostels and living accomodation are shanties, and the staff accomodation is no better either( by the late 1980's, staff living in university accomodation had to pay for repairs out of their pocket, because the unis had no money)

Back to ABU. ABU's budget was N25 billion naira or 26 million pounds.. Cambridge uni.. 2 billion pounds with an endowment of 9 billion pounds.

Let that sink in.

Let that sink in.

And yet, many people come here and expect our universites to be like Cambridge on such small fees. Expect them to conduct world class research on such small fees.


Nigerians, make we think.

We have these choices.

1.We can raise fees, or let the unis set fees...so that they can earn money and pay for improvements, and retain staff..

2.We can do as Denmark does and pay for free education with half our annual income...that is everyone from Dangote and Ned to the beggar on the street.

3.Or we can pretend university is cheap, and continue to lose staff numbers, and lose retention of people.


It goes beyond APC, PDP, and LP....because this headline...awas the same headline in the 1980's 1990's 20000's and even as recently as 10-15 years ago. University lecturers have been japaing for DECADES. I mean for decades. We don't have enough lecturers, and enough spaces....because we think that cambridge level education costs less than N20000 a year, when it is actually more than 2 million.

But we got to let the poor breathe, eh?

1. Public universities are different from private all over the world. Public universities are usually cheap and in some cases free all over the world.

2. There are private universities in Nigeria where Cambridge type fees are being paid. Is the education service being received in those schools comparable with Cambridge standard? The public universities still retain better standard and prestige than the private ones despite the huge fees collected by private

3. Why are the lecturers not moving from public to private universities if low fees are the reason why they are moving out of the country? As a matter of fact, lecturers in private schools are looking to move to public schools instead.

4. Lastly, your favourite hymn fuel subsidy removal has rendered the average lecturer poorer. UI had to reduce work days to 3 and so did many others. Most lecturers are running away from high cost of living occasioned by fuel subsidy removal

Is it not better to drive Uber and feed one's family than to be called senior lecturer while his family is hungry?
Common sense is not common 😔

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

They should leave please......

Campus lecture hall is fast becoming irrelevant these days

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.

You stated valid points but you need to compare oranges to oranges and not apples. Not every universities has the financial strength of Cambridge or Harvard in US or UK. Our universites need financial interventions seriously but money does not solve all problems.
Our universites need to be restructure that bring the best out of it. Some degrees has outlived their functions and any money on such degree is a waste. Imagine UNILAG offering Russion language as a degree? Even Russians does not study their own language.

They follow the step of their forefathers, who served the British colony for many years, someone with right sense won't leave their motherland, they rather developed their motherland, but black African citizen are not equipped with modernization

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. .

Bs sir, Africans are just d**b n not ready to build anything. They rather be on about tribalism shiii!

Doctors, lecturers etc everybody is leaving. Wahala dey ooo

Kirchoffs:
80% of the lecturers that taught me in Unilag are no longer in Nigeria ,I t’s saddening that we are experiencing serious brain drain in our educational institutions

crazy stat though

Good naa
Opportunity for us. Those old cargoes that mounted those positions for the past 20 years will finally give way

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.

A sound Government don't feel bothered

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.

Be there crying and shouting women and children. Don't gather money and find a way for yourself and family to relocate. It is the best decision any Nigerian can make. People are doing far better in diaspora. The first year may be challenging. But afterwards it's all pure testimony

Let them japa , other younger qualified personnels will take over .
We need a restructuring of the Lecturers especially in the Public Universities , most of them still use their outdated notes and are adamant to changes .
All they know is garbage in , garbage out , no new ideas , you can practically go back to 200 level after 5 years of graduation , write Semester exams and pass by just reading your old note you used back then , because it's same thing the Lecturer taught you is same thing he's teaching the younger generation without any modifications .

All they know is sleep around with young female students with big yansh , collect bribes to pass undeserving students and rig Elections ..

Make dem gettat

Nawaoooo...see what APC and Tinubu has caused 🙄
