Lecturer doings

Good evening People!

Hope you had a sweet Wednesday? My Wednesday was sweet and I enjoyed it to the fullest, for a very long time I had a 3hrs nap in the afternoon (is that even a nap?🤷).

Happy new month People! I read some articles on People's achievements on the month of May and o was wowed. We pray for a better month this June. Amen!

So I came across a video on YouTube today about a lecturer that ordered a student's hair to be shaved in the class in one of the universities in Ogun state, Nigeria. A barber was called to the class with his tools to cut the hair.

Well, the video was not clear enough to state what really transpired between the lecturer and the student, or whether keeping of hair is against the rules of the school or whether the lecturer had cautioned the student about his air before.

When I saw the video, I was surprised and at same time I wasn't because, 90% of Nigerian lecturers are "gods" on their own. They detect, implement and detect personal laws and when you dare them, that'll push your name to their dark book and you know what that means.

But,

I don't see any reason a lecturer would order such action, for God's sake, universities are not secondary schools that students are being monitored to their private lives. I know that some universities have laws governing them such as prohibition to indecent dressing, Putting on confraternity clothings, and so on but I'm yet to see a school that's against hair keeping. It's only in high schools that I know that students are to maintain a certain level of hair.

From a good rate on our lecturers, it's either;

• The lecturer has a personal beef with the guy. Maybe the guy is dragging babe with the lecturer or maybe the guy has insulted the lecturer and he promised to embarrass him one day. The case of a student dragging babe with lecturer is very common and when it happens, the lecturer will be out to hunt the guy down in every possible way. I had friends in school that experienced this and it was not a laughing matter at all.

• It could be that the lecturer is the "over religious" type that frown terribly at indecent dressing. These type of lecturers don't give a warning before they strike, they give it to you at that point because they assumed that everyone were brought up the way they were brought up. We had this type of lecturer during my school days, a woman. You don't dare to plait hair(as a guy) and attend her class, naaah! Impossible! She'll curse the hell of your life that day. I remember when one of us came to her practical class with face cap, she asked him to remove the cap and when he did, it exposed his half way braided hair, she poured water at him and chased him out of the laboratory. Yes, these lecturers don't take nonsense, they implement their own law and don't give a damn whether it's against school rule or not.

• It could be that maybe the lecturer had cautioned him several times to cut down the hair but he refused and seeing him entering his class with the hair again provoked the anger in him and ordered a barber to cut down the hair to the lowest level (no single hair). I think if this is the case, then it's simplier and understandable. The female lecturer I used as an example above, she normally warn you at the first instance and if you violate her rule the second time, then she comes out with her "madness" to tell you that she has given birth to people older than you. lol🤣

I went to the comment section to see what people were saying and 95% of the comments were against the lecturers, and said this could lead to protest/war in school because it has happened before while the 5% of the comments commended the lecturer's effort in building discipline.

You see this life, what is good in someone's eyes could be poisonous to another person's eyes, "one man's food is another man's Poison".

At the time of writing this, I had a call from a friend and I decided to ask what would be her reaction if a lecturers orders to cut off her hair in class, she said she will tell the barber on the hairstyle she wants 🤓.

Thank you for reading
