"Lmao baba said Nigeria has damaged him. Sir, my Prof took all of us (his project students) for lunch. In fact, we went in his car. Also, there’s a lot of chilled Profs; I even lived with one. In case yo asking, it’s OAU. So, that you didn’t exp it doesn’t mean it’s a Naija thing."

"No, Nigeria didn't. I bantered and still banter with my lecturers, especially during political seasons. Perhaps your undergraduate lecturers weren't friendly. Don't impose your reality on all Nigerian students. Success in your postgraduate studies."

"You could have tell your story without disparaging Nigeria that gave you free to nothing education but like Omo Ale that you are, u just have to. D damage Nigeria did to you shall be permanent, eyin omo ako ti le ta jati jati. You won't see a Chinese/ India person do this, rubbish."

"One of our lecturers told us "you can't graduate with an A in my course. A is for God and B is for the Chief lecturers. Beside me taking the course graduated with E". I still remember that pain fresh and sound."

"Another ungrateful citizen sighted. A country that subsidized your education so you could continue your studies is the one that harmed you? Just because a white man agreed to take a picture with you doesn't mean you should lose your culture."

Lady plays with her male lecturer in his office

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that most Nigerian students view their lecturers as serious-minded folks who have little or not time for fun, but a Nigerian lady has proved this perception untrue.

The female Nigerian student shared on TikTok a hilarious video she recorded with her male lecturer right in his office. A wording capturing the central theme of the acted clip read, 'me after submitting plagiarized assignment to my lecturer.' As the caption read, the lady is seen submitting a spiral binded assignment to the academic.
