"To make sure nothing happens to that girl, if u are a human rights lawyer in Nigeria, I will send u N500,000 to defend her if u agree with me that her rights and sovereignty was violated by that stupid lecturer.

"NB: I no fit comment. If u support that lecturer, u clearly did not get the message. When u eventually get it in the future, remember this video..." a part of his post read.

In an over eight-minute video, Isidore blasted the lecturer for his action and came for those defending the academic.

While reiterating his N500k offer, Isidore lamented that many Nigerians still have the master-slave mentality, adding that the incident was a microcosm of the uncivilised nature of many Nigerians, especially people in authority.

He maintained that the lecturer had no right to lay his hand on the lady.

"500k for "Excuse me please ".

"Why must she video in a public space?

"I caution anyone around me whenever they want to video unless I am much interested in it and don't care where the video is been posted.

"Biko sir, I need that 500k biko 🙏🙏."

Daisy's Mum said:

"Reading some of your comments here where you must insult before you can make your points known is sickening. You lots are not better than the student you are crucifying her bad behaviour.

"That being said , the girl is wrong for fighting her lecturer and the lecturer is wrong with his manner of approach by commanding the student to delete the video . University is not secondary school . Most people in various hiracy do abuse power and it has to stop."

Chinonso Nnorom said:

"Personal space in a university?

"Will such nonsense happen in Harvard or Cambridge?

"Hey I didn't expect this ooooo did you watch the same video? Please that girl clearly lacks manner and respect otherwise if she was well brought up when she saw the lecturer coming courtesy demands should she paused the video and allow him pass then continue with whatever thing she was doing. She wasn't even supposed to wait for the lecturer to excuse himself and pass."

Ogechi Nzekwe said:

"The apologies should be to those grey innocent hairs I’m seeing on your face because they chose a wrong carrier."

Obunadike Joseph said:

"Am sorry. But after listening to you half way. I lost the little respect I have for you.

"So in your mind making a video and blocking a walkway is ready .

"As you were making that video in your car, why didn't you park in the middle of the road since it's a public road."
