Nigerian Singer, Seun Kuti has called out the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) over the group’s silence on the trending #SexForGrades scandal.

Following the release of the BBC undercover investigation video, several celebrities and Nigerians have reacted to the sexual harassment faced by girls in Nigerian universities.

His reaction followed the publication of the #SexForGrades documentary on Monday by BBC Africa Eye.

The 13-minute documentary captured the University of Lagos (UNILAG) and the University of Ghana.

A senior lecturer in the Faculty of Arts, UNILAG, Dr Boniface Igbeneghu, was filmed sexually harassing Kiki Mordi, an undercover journalist who posed as a 17-year-old admission seeker in the institution.

Seun, son of late Afrobeat pioneer, Fela Anikulapo Kuti, wrote in Pidgin English on Tuesday on Twitter that Nigerians were waiting for ASUU to speak on the burning issue.

“ASUU leaders make una no pretend like say una no hear all dis noise about una members accuse of sex for grades in our unis, if na una money struggle now, una go expect both activists and students to rise and fight for una, now d students need una to rise and fight for dem too,” he said.

The singer also attacked the Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu, for keeping mute on the government’s position in bringing an end to sexual abuse in institutions of learning.

“Oga Adamu Adamu wetin u b minister of education for wen der is a national issue affecting all our unis and u no fit tell us govt position on dis, r u in support of d lecturers demanding sex for grades ni, abi why we never hear from u about it as d minister of education,” Seun said.

No joke

what do you expect before?

Birds of the same feathers

More or like falconer and the falcons

I wonder .... Tell them Seun all they tell us is that they are fighting for a better welfare of the students what have done with all the money collected

no mind them. yeye

Naija lecturer plus rubbish

Nice one from the Kuti. Most of these ministers are just dumb.

Seun's babymama was one his Dancers..I guess the murdafuckerr that was attacking me wont see this. .Idiotaaa

People who feel it is part of their job description?

To be honest. This is everywhere. Sighting a revenue collecting agency in Lagos where a coordinator or a director sleeps with married and single ladies just to get promotions.

How pathetic

Many ASUU members are guilty of this offence even some of them at the official levels

Story...

In my opinion both the giver and reciever of sex for grades are guilty.

na to suffer Nigerian students ASUU sabi

The bitter truth be told, i am honestly disgusted by this sort of news trending everywhere. Is it that our universities are now morally bankrupt? Stringent measures should be taken as soon as possible , so as to sanitize institutions of learning especially for us, the young academics.

Oil dey pOn dx man head .....ASUU just lockup like say the word "University" is not in their Acronym

They won't talk about it because they're birds of the same feathers... Some of the ASUU members are abusers themselves so how can they condemn their own acts

May God keep exposing the evil doers in our society.

Best reaction so far. Focusing the attention at the right place, not chasing shadows.
The reason why this is continuing is because of the acquiescence and in fact the complicity of the education authorities in Nigeria.

The VC of Unilag ( Professor Oluwatoyin Ogundipe) should be queried and forced to resign. He is a failure and has failed all these girls. His most important duty is protecting the students of the school and ensuring the school environment is conducive for learning. Which he has failed woefully. He should also be thoroughly investigated to ascertain if he is also culpable . A learning institution is NOT a boys club!

It is not about money nau


They're almost guilty of sexual harassment.


Most of them, Sex with their students is in their Job Description

I'm loving it....

Prof Richard Akindele of OAU would be like..."Ope o, we are now two, no be only me"
