“God forbid all of you pass my course, I bet you, no one can score 16 in my test.”
The above phrases are a few expressions of many Nigerian lecturers who derive joy in bragging and instilling unnecessary fear in their students for reasons best known to them.
“This is not the case in developed climes. Our lecturers should emulate their counterparts in developed nations, who are a source of motivation to their students. A good lecturer will tell his/her students, ‘I have been teaching students for over two decades; the worst student scores a C in my course.
Another student from Federal Polytechnic, Bida, Niger State, said most lecturers see themselves as “god.” “Their word is law. If they say you will fail, you will surely fail. Sadly, they rarely wish you success. They intentionally do that to intimidate students, females especially so that when they come for you, you will be left with no option. If they have a crush on you and you refused, that is the beginning of your nightmares.
