How do you expect lecturers in state universities to earn same salaries as Federal ones? That is impossible.“We are not educated, but you do not expect a hotel in my village to cost same price as a hotel in Abuja.

If we come out again we may have to chase them out of this country and replace them with so many jobless Nigerians.”
