Lady criticises UNIZIK lecturer Chukwudi Okoye

Sharing the video, the lady said:

"No matter the provocation, why will a lecturer hold on to a student’s dress like this?Me I want to go dig up this man’s professional profile. If he has even a tiny sliver of affiliation outside of Africa, they should see this video. It’s tantamount to sexxual harassment, because he did nearly undress the girl in public."

Reactions as lady calls out UNIZIK lecturer

Critics argued that Dr Okoye's behaviour was unbecoming of an academic and potentially compromised the student's safety and well-being.

However, others supported the lecturer and insisted that he had the right to do whatever he did in the video.

Precious Ogbodo said:

"Only bad eggs they will be supporting yeye people. If they see honest hard working and intelligent student looking for scholarship they will never help the person."

Fanen Exodus reacted:

"Has the university written officially to her that all they need from her is apology. Mind you, the court of competent jurisdiction does not consider mere hearsay. Her expulsion was officially written. It can be held in court against her. Any change in decision that the court will honor must also be official."

Irene said:

"You are not serious, so you supporting insolence? I have to fight and tear my lecturer's clothes to make a point and for people like you to sponsor me abroad? There's nothing like harassment, the student in question is an arrogant, disrespectful spoilt girl. From what I hear, the mother is a lecturer in the same school, so she must have believed she could get away with anything. Rubbish, she deserves that penalty."

Margaret added:

"So, because I touch you. You bite me. Omo, I will slap nonsense out of you. I hope she goes abroad and fight."
