OK till then you people will regret bitting the fingers that feed you

vaxx:
Then you are not in touched with reality. You and the prof are living in utopia

No erudite scholar will sound that way anyway. Most at times, illiterates also cut their way into the midst of intellectual.

babytoun:



What exactly did he say that erudite scholars don't or should not say ?

vaxx:
chest beating as usual.... :

vaxx:
maybe you need the video to be interpreted in your local dialect at least for a better understanding.

vaxx:
I read the last paragraph twice and I conclude the man is a war monger. Give it to any security analyst and let them analysed the gruesome effect of that utterances.


If he try this in Libya during gaddafi reign, he will not see the second day, as he will be sleeping peacefully in his grave. GHANA is indeed peaceful.

johnmartus:
you can't bite the hands that feeding you and think all is well.

Destroyerofyeeb:
I watched the video, although I don't approve of what some igbos do in Ghana but I stand with this professor. These hateful ghanian bastards need to be put in their place. Na condition make crayfish bend oo we no be mate.

ken6488:


Nigeria remains the giant of Africa

Leave it or love it..


We rule your country economic


Nothing is special in Ghana...

I rather go to Egypt than Ghana...


I love my country

Amah70:



Abroad, president Buhari called you and other Nigerian youths criminals and lazy.

permit:
Thanks to this Igbo man, Nigerians are dying in silence over there in Ghana just because of stupid leadership down here

vaxx:
Ok. Chest beating continue.

Don't replicate chest beating life styles in Egypt. Egypt takes no nonsense. Your judgment will be worst than what the Nigeria army are facing in Sambisa.

thesicilian:
Check out exactly what he said and judge if there's anything wrong with this. Instead of all Nigerians to support him they're talking thrash.

IFEOLUWAKRIZ:
The prof is a true patriotic Nigerian He has Nigeria's interest at heart. He places his country men above his job. Kudos man.

MrAnele:
The University of Education (UEW) has, with immediate effect, sacked its visiting Nigerian lecturer, Prof. Augustine Uzoma Nwagbara over comments he made in a video that has since gone viral.

Prof. Nwagbara was arrested on Tuesday but later granted bail for allegedly inciting the Nigerian community in Ghana to devise strategies that will destroy Ghana’s image internationally.

In a statement issued on Wednesday, the University said the comments by the lecturer were inimical to the country’s educational sector, hence his dismissal.

“The University is highly disturbed by the huge embarrassment his unguarded statement has brought to the institution, the Ministry of Education, and indeed, Ghana as a whole. The University after subjecting Prof. Augustine Uzoma Nwagbara to the internal disciplinary process finds him culpable of gross misconduct and has, accordingly dismissed him.”

The University said, although Prof. Nwagbara has been on sabbatical leave from its Department of Applied Linguistics since October 2018, his comments after it set up an internal disciplinary process observed that the utterances were ‘ unsavoury, unethical and damning about the country, its history as well as its educational system. The University totally dissociates itself from the grossly irresponsible comments and condemns it in no uncertain terms.”

“The University apologises to Ghanaians for Prof. Nwagbara disparaging remarks about this country’s educational system and further indicates that the comment was full of factual inaccuracies”, portions of the statement added.

Read the full statement below:

He was talking off camera (not aware he was being filmed) to his own people to sit up for themselves, to "protest" using peaceful means, the media. How is that war mongering?

ken6488:
To extend of mocking our troops I don't blame you

I blame our government......

Yet we are the pillar of your economy

babytoun:


That is my problem with people like you ...

I won't fall for your trick.....please state the exact inciting part of his statement ...

If even someone like you who has some level of education can't articulate your grievance ...then I can understand the negative sentiments from low literacy elements

vaxx:
Hopefully you have gotten an interpreter? If so what elude your reasoning for his polarity and subjectivity statement?

Jayslicky:
The man goofed and he is a shame to Nigerians, why try to spoil your fellow Africans image, even if it was done to make Nigeria superior to ghana it still doesn't make it right, Nigeria has a lot to learn from ghana and ghana has a lot to learn from Nigeria, we complement each other.

vaxx:
buda thank your star, you are not sharing the same CONTINENT with such an animal . From my own perspective. He even don't love Nigeria ( he is one of those who go on preaching breakaway) from their bedroom

rkennyking:
I dont know when saying the truth becomes an incitement. If even the scholars and elite in Ghana can't speak up in the face of injustice foreigners in Ghana are made to go through then they dont deserved to be called scholars. I call on Nigeria to do what Ghana is currently doing to out brothers yo every Ghanaian in Nigeria too

budaatum:

Thank what? When they are beating me in Qatar do they care that I'm not on the same continent with this pitiable excuse for a professor? Is it not the students of this same professor who will come on here thinking they have education while spewing thrash this useless professor taught them?

I don't see what there is to be thankful for vaxx because wherever I am I am Nigeria.

Just30:
His comments had no facts in them

breached social norms
a call to arms is criminal
His statement lacked common sense

it was completely baseless and a senseless attack on the universities
