Man shares profound reaction to UNIZIK incident

Reacting, Udenwe took to his Facebook page to mention what he would have done if the student were his daughter.

He said:

“If my own daughter brings this amount of ridicule and shame to my name, in a place of higher learning where discipline and decorum is held supreme, what would be my reaction. This is a question every parent should ask themselves. This incident should drive us to do better for our children.
"Raising well behaved, disciplined and wise kids is a task every parent should take seriously, right from when the child is born. If a child insults her caregiver or nanny or housekeeper or that other aunty, how do we react? Do we wave it off, after all they are kids and will turn a new leaf as they get older or do we sit them down to talk sense into their head and if it persists, discipline them accordingly?”

Sharing what he would have done, he added:

“If Precious were my child, I would withdraw her from UNIZIK and she would be made to serve at some community centre for one year, then sit for JAMB and start afresh if she still wants to continue with higher education, otherwise she can go into dancing (since that’s what she was doing in school) or cake making or tailoring.”
