Nigeria's independent online newspaper

February 18, 2025 6:09 pmWhile the world was in the euphoria of St. Valentine’s Day, an annual event dedicated to expressing love, affection, friendship and admiration, news came out that Goddy-Mbakwe Chimamaka Precious, a student of history and international studies, had been expelled by authorities at the Nnamdi Azikiwe University in Awka.

However, as Okoye continued to walk away from the scene, the student turned with a frown and murmured something like: “Can you imagine how he just hit me?” Later on, what we could see was a serious confrontation and clash with the lecturer, who seemed to be helpless to defend himself despite being manhandled and bitten in aggression by the female student.In his own account, Okoye recounted that the lady made an insulting comment which made him turn back to first ascertain if she was a student.

First is the prevailing moral decadence in our society. The rapidly growing indiscipline and moral decay among young individuals pose a threat to our socio-cultural values. And it is really worrisome that the moral standards of respect for elders are also nosediving in the academic institutions. Based on personal experience, I couldn’t imagine that a student could dare talk back at a lecturer rudely, let alone assault the teacher publicly.

Sometimes, we should learn to let off some situations just to be saved from unbearable consequences. At times, trying to justify or defend certain actions may be an exercise in futility which may not solve any problems, but exacerbate them. Apologising for any little things should not be embarrassing. It even saves time and leaves a good impression on the other party. Going far in life also requires learning to stand corrected when we discover we misstepped or acted wrongly.
