How To Handle Sexual Temptation EKSU VC by Opeomoope: 7:10am On Jun 19, 2016 |
Prof. Samuel Oye Bamidele who was
appointed Vice-Chancellor of Ekiti State
University (EKSU), is a senior pastor of
Deeper Life Bible Church. He has revealed
how he copes with ladies who tempt
members of the academic staff of the
institution.
While acknowledging that every human
being is tempted at one point or the other,
he however said that the power of being a
Christian is that God will give you the ability,
the unusual supernatural power to be able
to overcome temptation without falling into
it.
In his words: “There is a difference between
temptation and falling into temptation. For
example, we are all men here and that
makes it good.
Supposing a woman is here now, the
atmosphere will not be the same. I will not
say I have not been tempted in the sense
that maybe an amorous person comes in,
wanting to show a quarter of her breast. I
will say, ‘Excuse me, go out and dress
properly. As a lecturer, you can’t come into
my office like that.’
“Some students will come with the intention
to tempt you, trying to make eye contacts,
and I will say, what are you trying to do? For
you to be able to overcome temptation, you
must resist it. But some people don’t resist
the picture of temptation, so they run into it.
So, to respond to your question directly, I
want to say that to God be the glory, since I
gave my life to Christ, I have not been
tempted to the extent of falling, touching
another person’s wife or student; never,
never. And it is not only girls or women that
cause temptation; some are tempted with
money. They supervise students and collect
money on projects. I supervise Ph.D students
and I don’t take anything from them.
You cannot even try me. So, all those ones, if
you can keep yourself from being attracted
by women or by money or material things of
this world and you are contented, it will be
easy for you to overcome temptation. But
summarily, every human being will face
temptation at one point or the other, but the
power to overcome that temptation can only
come from Christ.”
On what measures his administration will
put in place to prevent cases of sexual
harassment of female students by their male
lecturers, Prof. Samuel Oye Bamidele,
revealed:
“We are going to work on that. I have said I
am committing my first year to IGR and this
other one is academic and discipline. We are
trying to put some things in place that will
checkmate some lecturers that cannot keep
their libido, and to that extent, we are going
to go through management and then the
Senate to fashion out some strategies to
protect our female students from sexual
harassment. That one is being planned, I
may not feel out everything now.
“Things are changing in this university and
that is the truth. The head matters. If there is
seriousness at the top, everybody will fall in
line. They know that if I catch you sexually
harassing female students, you will be in
trouble. If as the vice-chancellor I am also
one of those carrying girls and ladies
around, I won’t have the mouth to tell those
who are doing it to stop or sanction them in
line with the rules. Now, it is no longer
going to be business as usual.
“Some regulations will come out in a short
while to checkmate all those things in terms
of the dressing of the students, because
students also can be harassers. Female
students can harass male students by their
amorous outlook. We want to checkmate
those things and for the staff, admin,
teaching and non-teaching, we are going to
have some codes that will create a level of
restriction as to how they can harass female
students. 1 Like |
