@ESosominiki: “No be small thing dey happen for school!So this innocent girl don dey knack already with the lecturer 😄😄🫵🏻🫵🏻🫵🏻”
@PappyJames2: “Is this legal for a lecturer to date a student?”
@IkeokwuChidozie: “The University management should quickly apprehend this man. This is not allowed.”
@Inno4Chi: “If he is her current lecturer he may be suspended in a proper country. There is something we call ‘fiduciary relationship’ that exists between lecturer and student, just as doctors have with their patients.
I reckon he may be a lecturer but no longer lectures her class.”
@Beneze758683: “Congratulations to this girl, it shows how good she is . It’s a lesson to other girls that the eyes of men are on them but on how to make themselves available in quality character and resourceful wife to be, is the quality men look at.”
