The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Nnamdi Azikiwe University (UNIZIK) branch, has commended Dr. Chukwudi Michael Okoye, a lecturer in the Department of Theatre and Film Studies, for his exemplary composure after being bitten and assaulted by a female student, Goddy-Mbakwe Chiamaka Precious, of the Department of History and International Studies.

The incident occurred when Dr. Okoye excused himself to pass through a hallway where the student was recording a TikTok video. Enraged by the interruption, she attacked him physically, an act that has since sparked widespread condemnation.

In a letter signed by ASUU-UNIZIK Chairman Kingsley Ubaoji and Secretary Joseph Onyejiaka, the union praised Dr. Okoye for his professionalism, stating:

“ASUU wishes to commend Dr. Chukwudi Michael Okoye of the Department of Theatre and Film Studies for his exemplary display of maturity and civility in the face of the recent violent assault on him by a female student, Goddy-Mbakwe Chiamaka Precious, a student of the Department of History and International Studies.

Dr. Okoye’s restraint and composure in the aftermath of the incident are a testament to his character and professionalism. His actions have not only brought honour to himself but also to our union and the university community at large.”

The union also expressed gratitude to the Acting Vice-Chancellor for his swift and decisive response to the matter, which included immediate disciplinary action against the student.

ASUU reaffirmed its commitment to protecting the rights and dignity of lecturers while advocating for a safe and respectful academic environment.

Make them expell that useless olosho girl for that school abeg. Good riddance to bad rubbish

Good of ASUU. But Hope they would also commend the VC when he disciplines a lecturer found to be sexually exploiting female studenrs? Because I don't hear about such letters when lecturers are at fault. Then they Start covering up for one another like the Axis of criminality (kudos to PO).

The man was so calm, He didn't even make any attempt to fend off the rabid girl.

MAN OF THE MONTH - February.

It takes a lot to ignore someone who's ridiculing u....maybe he's a deeper life person or a core born again Christian

commendations are in order

I'm not supporting rude or uncultured manners of which the student depicted to a high degree.


However, the lecturer should also be adviced to refrain from taking laws into his hands. He does not have the right to confiscate any student's phone. It's not within his jurisdiction.

I commend him too, he is a true gentleman. If i was in his position i would have attempted to send that witch back to her creator.

I don't pity all these Gen-Zs when they are severely dealt with. Their insolence and stupidity is too much. They have no regard for anyone. Their Instagram and TikTok accounts are their gods. They believe everything is all about posting online forgetting that reality is different from their social media.

If the said girl intends to still go to school,

it's either she goes abroad or to a private university where the "mark" ASUU members may have put upon her may not be seen

Or she could wait for a few years for this to blow over

See how this small event that the girl would have ignored has been a national issue. Her life has been altered as it were forever

This is the first topic ever in Nairaland where majority condemned what is wrong in it's totality going by the comments so far.

Kudos Nigeria.

This is the first time I am seeing ASUU in a news not relating to strike action 😂


It's well

Very stupid girl

Young ladies and guys should desist from pride and arrogance.

That is good of them but they should have included rice with the letter

Lord knows I wouldn't have passed that test and gotten that letter of recommendation.

E don tey wey I for fling her lazy ass out of the way.

Back then in school, dem no born you well to challenge lecturer. Most of my lecturers were "guymen"... The type of "MEN" that would f"ck you up in and out of campus.

You just have to respect yourself ni.

I like this

SeeWahala:


He is a strong IGBO man 💪 😊

Just like the idiot that slapped and has disgraced her family .

I wonder how you would have castigated the lady if she were to be of another tribe going by your stupid tribal angle to the topic

Absolutely deserving. His maturity and restraint was a good branding for Nig Lecturers.

Just imagine if he was caught on video beating up the girl?

Sadly, we spend more time teaching men how not to to beat women than we teach women how not to assault men. Now they take it as a right to assault men while the society expect men to remain docile

Greenlandz:
Make them expell that useless olosho girl for that school abeg. Good riddance to bad rubbish

That lady should be banned all over the Universities in Nigeria...

She has been expelled already

ASUU supporting ASUU.

Good

Tha man obviously doesn't do drugs.. And mayb little or no alcohol.

Walahi if it was a man addicted to hard drugs or alcohol, the atmosphere would have been different.
In fact u will not be able to tell the difference between a lecturer and agbero.

Say no to drugs.
Ladies say no to wife beaters. Don't be a fool and a toy in the hands of a man like our female celebrities. Dont go and marry a man that already has kids and numerous side chicks outside because of fame and money

Kudos to ASUU and kudos to the lecturer.
