LIFE OF A LECTURER IN NIGERIA

              Lecturers are human too and they feel whatsoever the students feel. Before becoming a lecturer, they must have gone through the stress and pangs of being a student. It is like a tiresome cycle, being a student to being a lecturer that takes care of students and visiting the classrooms for as long as they would be in service. It can be said that lecturers read more than students. A lecturer is someone that must have gone through the four walls of the school, acquired a degree or degrees (he or she could have gone further for masters or PhD) and works or teaches in the institution be it a university, polytechnic or college of education. Not everyone is qualified to be a lecturer as it entails a lot of criterias like having an extremely excellent grade, smartness and most of all discipline.

  How then does a lecturer create time for other things. There are some factors one could easily observe in a lecturer's attitude. 

1. ORGANISED IN ALL ASPECTS. 

             All lecturers are organised. It only takes a well organised lecturer to keep d decorum of about a thousand students in the class. Juggling family and students is one of the unique trait of a lecturer. For them to be able to come to the class and share knowledge, of course, they would be able to withstand the highs and lows in the family. 

2. THEY ARE READERS. 

             We have different kinds of students, the smart and intelligent ones are very difficult to convince when it comes to questions and answers aspect of learning. To be able to cope with all types of students, lecturers go to the extreme to acquire knowledge. All their lives, they have been reading because the world develops every passing day and they must of course, keep up with the trend by making sure to always update their knowledge box. 

3. THEY ARE VERY DISCIPLINED. 

              They are disciplinarians not only in the aspect of passing moral knowledge to the students but in their behaviour as well. A male lecturer could be caught up in a class filled with the opposite sex and would still keep his cool. When it comes to sorting as well, money is involved, you can hardly bribe or never even bribe a disciplined lecturer. They have been in the system before any student so they know the dos, don'ts and nevers of the system. 

                You could never in any way intimidate a lecturer because they believe knowledge is powerful than any material things. A very big kudos to them for being able to manage their time well, family and the students. For all the things you would learn in school, they are solely responsible and most of the times, they act as our parents to guide us towards the right paths. The life of a lecturer is like a rollercoaster, from the classroom, to the house and back to the classroom ensuring all students understand and passes in flying colors.

This is where the Students' Union Government, SUG comes in; in the government, we have different offices like the the welfare director, sport director, social director to mention a few.
