Nigerian influencer has defended the UNIZIK student who confronted and tore a lecturer's cloth, expressing regret that the influencer didn't bite his nipples, and blasting the lecturer in the process.
This was shared in a post that quickly gained traction on X (formerly Twitter).
In the post, the influencer criticized the lecturer, asserting that he was at fault for shoving the student. The influencer argued that the lecturer had no right to act that way.
The influencer continued, stating that the lecturer attempted to manipulate the student into deleting a video he had intentionally walked into while she was recording.
The statement read:
"This is nonsense because, regardless of his position, he had no right to shove her like that."
"Second, after reading his account of what happened, it's clear that he tried to manhandle the girl."
"He also wanted her to delete the video that captured him walking into the camera view while shoving her aside. He walked into that shot and then demanded she delete the video."
"When he says, 'I then demanded and reached for her phone,' what he really means is, 'I tried to intimidate her and seize her phone.'"
"We Nigerians have normalized oppression to the point that we can't even recognize it when we're the ones being oppressed."
"He got lucky she only bit his hand. She should have targeted his nipples and bitten them off."
The influencer further explained that the initial video confirmed the cause of the incident, noting that the contact wasn't a simple touch but a concerning shove.
"The movement of his hand confirms exactly what happened. If you need more proof, watch his face - the disgust is clear."
"At first, I was also repulsed by the girl's actions until I saw screenshots of the lecturer's account of the incident. Having been in situations where elders, especially lecturers, twist events to make me look guilty, I recognized the manipulative language and immediately smelled nonsense. I rewatched the video."
"Also, I won't support a Nigerian lecturer over a student unless it's absolutely clear that the student is in the wrong. Eight out of ten Nigerian lecturers are abusive. If this man were abroad, facing a similar situation, he wouldn't dare touch her, let alone shove her or try to seize her phone. He can get lost."
As the influencer shared her views, many concerned individuals flocked to the post's comment section to express their opinions.
See some reactions below:
@I_Aduroja: "Your explanation is valid. The man reaching out to her looked like an expression of disgust."
@princessdebbych: "This your thought won't sell we need to tell ourselves the truth that girl is rude, whatever gave her the guts to bite an elder should be highly condemned. Don't support this evil."
@BelieveGod_1: "She was definitely blocking the pass way. Even if he pushed her, there's nothing wrong in it. The school is not a place for TikTok but learning."
@Cakelicious4: "But from the video, it doesn't look like a shove, a gentle tap and excuse me followed."
@Chi_Omma: "I wonder how people assimilate things. Let's say he shoved her like you said what stops her from gently deleting the video when he asked, because she will eventually delete it. Is not like she will post it because he already interrupted it by passing."
@nonnybozz99: "I'm speechless reading this nonsense coming from you , the Lecturer in person Dr Okoye is one of the calmest coolest Lecturers in that department. Why must you twist this to serve your narrative ?"
@IkechukwuMJB: "That girl has a strong case against that lecturer in working systems. He 'technically' assaulted her in that video. The whole reaction can be adjudged to self defence. She might be habitually rude and disrespectful o. However, if she takes legal action against him. She will win."
@Ifeanyi_Nnaji1: "Uche this your take no follow. She was making a video on the hall way which is supposed to be open for public use not her private room. If someone makes a video of me while passing in public space I have every right to demand for the video to be deleted."
