A Nigerian lady, Amarachi Iweatu Oguegbu, has shared her opinion on the recent incident involving a 300-level student of Nnamdi Azikiwe University (UNIZIK) who allegedly assaulted a senior lecturer. Amarachi, who is an alumna of the same faculty, expressed her anger and frustration at the student’s actions.
The incident, which has been widely condemned, involved the student physically assaulting the lecturer and tearing his clothes. Amarachi questioned the student’s audacity and lack of respect for authority.
Amarachi attributed the student’s behavior to a broader societal issue, where younger generations are increasingly disrespecting their elders. She cited the example of younger girls dating older men and calling them “baby” as a contributing factor to this lack of respect.
In her words: “So the Unizik girl bagged an expulsion at 300level. When things want to happen, sit back and ask yourself several questions before talking or reacting. The audacity of these Gen Zs is what baffles me. Like the same Unizik I attended the same faculty! You looked at an elderly man, held his shirt, to fight him or what?
“For people to hold you what!? The originator of sugar dadddy, na you do this one! If not that these small girls now date elderly and married men and call them “baby”, what will give this small girl this mind! Tooh, it’s your parents I pity because that’s 3 sessions’ school fees wasted. But then again, Una fit deh rich.”
As Amarachi so aptly put it, “The originator of sugar daddy, na you do this one!”
Amarachi’s comments have sparked a lively debate on social media, with many users sharing their thoughts on the incident. While some have condemned the student’s actions, others have argued that the lecturer was also at fault for interrupting the student’s TikTok video.
