A Nigerian mother, Ebere Jane Agbi, has taken to social media to express her disappointment with those celebrating the expulsion of a female UNIZIK student, Goddy-Mbakwe Chimamaka Precious, who was involved in a physical altercation with a lecturer, Dr. Chukwudi Okoye.
Ebere noted that the young lady’s future has been severely impacted by her actions, and that her time, energy, dreams, and resources have been wasted. She urged people to show empathy towards the expelled student, rather than rejoicing in her misfortune.
While acknowledging that she doesn’t condone the student’s behavior, Ebere emphasized the importance of compassion and understanding. She pointed out that the incident will have a lasting impact on the student’s family, even after the news has faded from social media.
Ebere offered words of wisdom to the expelled student, encouraging her to learn from her mistakes and use them as a turning point in her life. She advised Precious to mourn the loss of her dreams, but not to despair, and to instead focus on finding new opportunities and pursuing her goals.
In her words, “To Precious Mbakwe, I pray that this becomes a learning curve and turning point in your life.
“Certainly, there’s going to be fresh beginnings but I pray that you don’t despair. You have the fighting spirit, use it to advance yourself not assault others.
“Mourn the death of one dream, grieve over the loss of things you once hold so dear, weep over the tongue lashing from family and friends, then pick up your life and move on.
“When one door closes by error, accident or design, another one will definitely open.
“Look for the other door and continue with the pursuit of your dreams.
“To the young, I say, accept the training of your parents and also learn from the things happening around you.
“Please keep learning and getting better as a person.”
The motherly advice was well-received by many on social media, who praised Ebere for her empathetic and wise words.
