"I attended my son’s school open day and the parents were given topics to discuss. I was given ‘Education is not a scam’. I talked about how education can make you become a teacher, president and the rest. The teacher said he didn’t even believe the topic himself. He is being teaching for 35years and no one earns more than 100k in the school and he actually thinks education is a scam. Half of the students said they wanted to be footballers in future. I didn’t even know how to convince him that the education is not a scam."
@EgboGideon_ added:
"So what are parents paying expensive school fees for if they can't pay lecturers well? They quality of teaching won't align."
@Chimdi_Victor_ shated:
"Was there free accommodation, free light and water? Or do you still get to pay for all these on the same salary?"
@DonWizi noted:

"I still don’t understand why lecturers especially those with PhDs are still being underpaid especially in a private university. Like, what’s our problem in this part of the world."
