Lizzy Tagbo said:

"That serves her right. She has no respect even for the mother too."

Chidubem Ekpunobi said:

"Maybe the people who said she’s right would go fund her and send the case to court let’s see how it pans out. I was really surprised how anyone could the lecturer was the one at fault, but I guess that’s why we are humans afterall, everyone with a different way of looking at things."

"Sound judgment I must say. Let it serve as a deterrent to others who may want to go same way."

Onyeka Pele Okafor said:

"In as much as she needs to be disciplined because you have no reason whatsoever to talk back at your lecturer not to talk of holding his shirt in that manner.

"I feel suspending her for one academic session will pass the message well enough but at the same time I understand the school needs to send a clear message to avoid such occurrence in the future."

Engr Chikwelu Chizoba said:

"Instead of an outright expulsion, they could have placed her on indefinite suspension, allowing her a slight hope of reinstatement. Then, after her set graduates, they could reassess the situation before making a final decision on expulsion.

"Lol."
