A Nigerian man on the micro-blogging platform took time to vent out his frustration about how his lecturer failed a course he studied hard for. According to the gentleman identified on the platform as @Abimtheballer, the lecturer failed him on one of the elective courses based on the fact that his report was too structured and too professional to be done by himself. Read his tweet below;
“Just randomly remembered a lecturer failed me in an elective course - “Glass in Buildings” because my report was too structured & professional to have been done by a student. I put my blood & sweat into that report.
We met afterward & I showed him my scrapbook & phone gallery. He acknowledged they were real. He said it was too late to do anything as the results had already been certified by the Senate. I failed that course for being excellent.
Nigerian lecturers stifling growth, discouraging innovation & promoting mediocrity & regurgitation”.
His revelation triggered a lot of reactions from students on the platform who have also suffered the same faith. They took to the comments section to express their frustration. A few of them are carefully selected below;

“I joined the science student class in 2nd term SS2, scored 100% in maths, physics, and chemistry and
I was called to the principal office that I cheated.
Another exam was set there on chemistry to test
I and I scored 100% too, the whole school was
in chaos”.

“Mine was when I was writing my project. I wrote on
computer hardware. When my project supervisor
read it, she was like I was not the one that did it,
that I can't write this kind of thing, I said I was the
one, and she doubted but she just told me to go and
bind. She gave me an A tho”.

“That's how my university supervisor casually forgot to turn in the project grades of roughly five of his students before the due date. As a result, five of us had to wait an extra year before starting our National Youth Service”.

“Yeah, this happened to me in SS2. My English
teacher said my essay was too advanced to have
been written by a secondary school student. I wrote
another one on the spot in her office. She couldn't
even apologize when she realized she goofed. Mrs
Ogunlade, I haven't forgiven you”.

“Mr. Robert, CED 351 (Centre for entrepreneurial
development), UNN, did it to me. For answering all
his questions about a group business plan done
by me even though it was group work. My group
provided me with the financial aspects, printing, and
stuff but the work was all me”.
