The Lecturer Who Didn’t Make First Class, and Made Sure I Didn’t Too

On his Facebook wall, Barr. Maruf Muhammed sadly narrated his story:

“During my undergraduate days, I was at a great dilemma as to the optional course to pick between Energy law and International law upon resuming to campus at 400 level. This is because apart from the fact these courses are 4 unit courses which a B could be fatal to the CGPA, we were being advised by most seniors to choose one not out of interest but out of the assurance of getting A to boost the CGPA.

I was at 4.40 CGPA at that time, struggling hard to secure A in most of my courses so as to meet up with 4.50(a first class).

I was advised by our then HOD to choose International law having seen how a fellow lecturer of his, willingly refused to give a senior colleague A in her final year in Energy Law making her graduate with 4.48. I didn't want to experience the same fate. Hence, I obliged and went for International law despite not enjoying boring lectures of the lecturer who taught us in second semester.

We were already in first semester of 500 level when our results came out. I quickly checked and I saw 69B (21 in test and 48 in exam). I was shocked and heartbroken 💔 and I had to meet the man in his office immediately.

Our conversations went like this:

Me: "Good afternoon sir. May the Lord bless you. I checked my International Law result now and saw 69 B. Is there a way you can help me to round it up as stated in the Senate Rules?"

Him: "What is your CGPA at the moment, Muhammed?"

Me: 4.40 sir

Him: You have done well but I'm sorry, there is nothing I can do on this.

Me: 😢 😭!. I prostrated. Daddy, please help me. 🙏 You are the only one who can help me in this circumstance. I don't want to get any score that will jeopardise my chances of making a first class.

Him: "Will you stand up and leave my office, Muhammed?. Don't be silly.

I left in sadness. I later complained to the HOD who sent the result back to him with an instruction to round it up to 70 upon submission. This man insisted saying he didn't graduate with a first class too. Why am I bothering him?.

The issue was later raised at a board meeting where he was compelled to adhere to the Senate rules to add 1 to the 69.

You felt I won? Lol 😆!!

😆
Unfortunately, I had registered for another course of this man; Administrative Law before this incident happened. For both semesters, Baba gave me 54 C and 62 B. My CGPA died at 4.48/5.0 and there was nothing that could be done.

When I presented my transcript for my postgraduate, the Dean of the Faculty of law of the University exclaimed: "What kind of ridiculous CGPA is this?. Did you offend the University you graduated from? Why will you graduate with 4.48 as overall CGPA?

I have other experiences of toxic lecturers but this is just one of them. I can't forget it too!!

Rahma cares ✍️ ❤️!”

🛑 LAGOS IS PLAYING WITH FIRE — AND TINUBU MUST PUT IT OUT

By Senator Babafemi Ojudu.

A troubling trend is unfolding in Lagos State. In the aftermath of the recent local government elections, some newly elected officials have embarked on a reckless spree of renaming streets—particularly those bearing Igbo names or named after prominent non-indigenes. This is not coincidental; it is a calculated political maneuver rooted in resentment, identity politics, and shortsighted leadership.

The long-simmering tension between Yoruba and Igbo communities reached a boiling point during the 2023 elections. Mr. Peter Obi of the Labour Party shocked the political establishment by defeating Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu —Lagos’s long-reigning political figure—in the presidential poll within the state. That upset sent shockwaves through the ruling APC, and fears grew that a similar surprise might unfold in the governorship race. What followed was an aggressive, divisive campaign that shamelessly weaponized ethnicity, fear, and misinformation.

Wild accusations flew: that the Igbo had “bought up” Lagos, “taken over” the economy, and were scheming to seize political power. These narratives were dangerous—and not entirely new. But while they didn’t arise in a vacuum, they have been irresponsibly amplified.

It’s true that some individuals within the Igbo community, in asserting cultural pride, have crossed into political overreach—not just in Nigeria but abroad. A recent example is an Igbo man in Ghana who purchased large tracts of land and declared himself a king, sparking fears—justified or not—of secessionist ambitions in host communities. Similarly, the proliferation of self-styled “Eze Ndi Igbo” (Igbo kings) across non-Igbo regions can be perceived as provocative, especially when seen as parallel authority structures. While these acts may stem from pride and cultural identity, they can easily be exploited by opportunistic politicians to sow fear and division.

But make no mistake: these isolated actions do not justify collective punishment or cultural erasure.

Lagos was built by many hands—Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa, Urhobo, Tapa, and more. Its strength lies in its diversity. To target any group—especially one so deeply embedded in the city’s economy and social fabric—is not just morally wrong; it is politically suicidal.

Rather than stoking ethnic division, Lagos leaders should focus on the real threats to the city: youth unemployment, drug addiction, urban decay, traffic congestion, and collapsing infrastructure. These are the issues threatening Lagos’s future—not the names on its street signs.

What makes this ethnic posturing even more shortsighted is the broader national context. Discontent is rising across Nigeria. The economy is reeling, inflation is crushing households, and insecurity remains rampant. As the 2027 elections approach, the ruling APC is grappling with waning public trust. Alienating a significant Southern demographic—the Igbo—while Northern political elites express growing dissatisfaction with Tinubu’s leadership is a dangerous gamble.

Just recently, Northern heavyweight Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso declared that the North feels marginalized under Tinubu’s presidency and may not support his re-election. If the North grows distant and the Southeast is antagonized, where will the support come from? This trend risks isolating the South West politically—and that isolation will not bode well for the Yoruba, both at home and in the diaspora.

This is where President Bola Ahmed Tinubu must rise above the fray. He cannot afford to allow partisan loyalty or ethnic sentiment to blind him to the growing danger of ethnic polarization. Left unchecked, it could spiral into something far more sinister—even ethnic cleansing. Nigeria is too fragile for such a descent.

The President must initiate a process of reconciliation. He should reach out to Igbo leaders—both at home and abroad—to promote moderation and mutual respect. Online abuse and reckless insults, such as referring to revered Yoruba figures like Wole Soyinka in derogatory terms, must cease. I was stunned to read a young Igbo man referring to Soyinka as a “gbajue professor.” Such incivility wounds the national psyche and deepens mistrust.

At the same time, Tinubu must speak frankly to Yoruba communities—especially indigenes of Lagos. Being a host comes with responsibility, not superiority. You cannot sell your land willingly, spend the proceeds on indulgent lifestyles, and then resent those who invested and built on that land. You cannot eat your cake and still have it. If you admire the success of others, emulate their work ethic and community spirit—don’t scapegoat them.

Meanwhile, fault lines are cracking elsewhere. In the North, Muslim-Christian tensions are rising. The once-cohesive Fulani-Hausa alliance is showing strain. In the South, Yoruba-Igbo relations are fraying. In the Niger Delta, some groups are rejecting the inclusion of Igbos in the Biafra narrative. Even among the Yoruba, there is growing resentment against the idea of “giving everything to Lagos,” while some Lagosians disparage non-indigenous Yoruba (“ara oke”) who’ve found success in the city.

Nigeria is a house divided—and unless urgent steps are taken, it may not stand much longer. The crisis in Rivers State has stirred new waves of resentment in the Niger Delta. Everywhere, identity-based fault lines are deepening.

President Tinubu must not be complacent. If Nigeria fractures, history will not remember his economic policies or political victories. It will remember that the house collapsed under his watch.

The task before him is urgent and non-transferable: call your boys to order, heal old wounds, unite the nation, and rise above petty politics. This is not a job for committees or proxies. Only bold, visionary leadership can pull Nigeria back from the brink.

The window is closing. Now is the time to act.

*LETTER TO NDIGBO AROUND THE WORLD*
*_Yoruba people, kindly pay attention_*
By Dr. Bọ́lá Adéwará
.
.
Ethnic profiling is a cancer to national unity and global coexistence. It breeds suspicion, fuels discrimination, and undermines peace among peoples. As it is wrong and dangerous to stereotype all Fulani as violent herdsmen or killers, it is equally unjust, and profoundly reckless, to label all Igbo people as criminals. Criminality has no tribal identity; it is an individual moral failure, not an ethnic characteristic.

I am compelled to raise this alarm because of the increasing global tendency to associate the entire Igbo ethnic group with crime, particularly in international spaces. Reports from countries such as Malaysia, China, Vietnam, South Africa, Kenya, and others often highlight the troubling actions of a few misguided individuals of Igbo origin. Sadly, these isolated incidents are now being weaponized to brand an entire race, one of Nigeria’s most industrious and accomplished ethnic groups, as inherently criminal. This is not only false, it is a tragic injustice.

Let it be clear: no race or ethnic group is immune from bad eggs. Every community has its share of lawbreakers. But to elevate the bad behaviour of a few individuals into a global narrative of condemnation against an entire people is not just unfair, it is dangerous.

I therefore call on Ohanaeze Ndigbo, all South-East governors, federal lawmakers of Igbo extraction, Igbo traditional rulers, community leaders, and cultural custodians to rise swiftly and boldly. This is no time for silence or strategic avoidance. When people remain silent in the face of public condemnation, that silence begins to sound like consent. If this negative profiling is not checked, the consequences for future generations of Igbos in the diaspora will be devastating, from visa restrictions to job discrimination, surveillance, exclusion from leadership opportunities, and even outright harassment.

There is a disturbing trend in some parts of the world, where law enforcement agencies and immigration officers openly target Nigerians of Igbo origin with suspicion and contempt. A recent video circulating online features a Malaysian police officer publicly declaring that "the people bringing drugs into Malaysia from Nigeria are the Igbos." This is a damning statement, true or false, it is a public relations disaster for Nigeria and for the Igbo nation. What is even more painful is that I have yet to hear a single response, condemnation, or strategic rebuttal from any respected Igbo leader or body. This is silence where there should be outrage.

Some of the cultural practices being exported to foreign countries by certain Igbo groups—such as the unregulated installation of Eze Ndigbo in foreign cities, may make sense within the context of Igbo culture and tradition. But when presented to people of other cultures, they can appear confusing, intimidating, or even threatening. Culture must be contextualized. It must be explained, engaged with humility, and lived with dignity, not with arrogance or braggadocio.

To every Igbo father and mother, to the sons and daughters on the Internet, this is not the time for ethnic chest-thumping or the exchange of insults. This is the time to own the narrative, to reclaim the name and dignity of your people. Explain your culture. Apologize for the excesses of the few. Denounce criminality boldly. Name it and shame it. Support efforts to identify and discipline those tarnishing the image of Ndigbo at home and abroad.

*TO MY YORUBA BROTHERS AND SISTERS:*
I urge restraint and wisdom. Do not join voices, whether from Ghana, South Africa, or elsewhere, in demonizing the Igbo race. The rivalry between Peter Obi and Bola Tinubu during the last elections must not be allowed to poison ethnic relations in Nigeria. Political disagreement should never become a tool for ethnic disintegration. Today it’s the Igbos; tomorrow it could be the Yorubas or the Hausas. If we allow ethnic division to fester, the enemies of peace and progress will consume us all. Unity is not optional, it is the lifeline of our fragile republic.

Let us not sell our brothers cheaply to external critics because of local politics. Let us not delight in the demonization of any Nigerian people because of past grievances or electoral defeats. Let us stand for truth, balance, and justice. Ghanaians, like every other nation, have their share of citizens involved in criminal activities abroad. Yet, they are not collectively condemned. Neither should Nigerians, especially the Igbos, be.

To the Federal Government of Nigeria: this is also your responsibility. Ethnic profiling against any group of Nigerians abroad must be met with swift diplomatic and legal response. Embassies must be proactive. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs must take ownership of Nigeria’s image abroad and demand respect for the dignity of all Nigerian citizens, regardless of tribe or origin.

But more importantly, Igbo leaders must not outsource this responsibility. You must not pretend it is not happening. You must not defend the indefensible. The legacy of your fathers, Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe, Chinua Achebe, Cyprian Ekwensi, Flora Nwapa, Chukwuemeka Ike, Phillip Emeagwali, and countless other luminaries, calls for action. These men and women gave the Igbo race honour on the global stage. You must not let that legacy be drowned in silence and shame.

The time to act is now. Speak up. Stand up. Clean up. Reclaim your name. Defend your legacy.

Nigeria cannot rise when one of her pillars is broken. And Ndigbo cannot remain silent when the world begins to whisper, then shout, that their name is synonymous with crime. May it never be said of this generation that they allowed such a lie to take root.

Let truth be spoken, let wrongdoers be confronted, and let honour be restored.
