A UK-based Nigerian woman, identified as Mkpouto Pius has offered to assist a recently expelled Nnamdi Azikiwe University (UNIZIK) student, Chimamaka Precious, in securing a scholarship abroad.
Recall that a video caught Chimamaka Precious biting and slapping the university lecturer for interrupting her TikTok recording. This sparked outrage online as many questioned the student’s morals.
On Friday, February 14th, the management of UNIZIK rolled out a statement where the student was rusticated from the school.
However, Mkpouto Pius took to her Facebook page today as she revealed that she reached out to the expelled student and claimed that her family is solidly behind her.
According to the UK-based Nigerian lady, Precious is not breaking down over her expulsion; rather, she’s fine, contrary to what social media users think.
Mkpouto made it known that the university was aware that their lecturer harassed the student, which is why they are making efforts to protect their reputation.
Additionally, Mkpouto Pius stated that she offered her support to find a scholarship abroad after being kicked out of UNIZIK.
In her statement, “Follow social media noise at your own risk. As people are here shouting about how Unizik did a good thing to expel that female student, and how she embarrassed her family… I spoke to the lady and … 1) The back story is so different from the tiny clip circulating on social media. 2) The girl is not breaking down and dying. She’s very fine. 3) Her family is solidly behind her. When I offered to support her to find scholarship abroad, her response what “let me speak to my parents and a few minutes after she came back to tell me her parents are onboard with the idea. 4) The University has been calling her parents, asking her to come and apologize and they will rescind the suspension and take her back 😂😂😂😂😂.”
“Nigerians are such dramatic people. The University knows that their lecturer harassed that girl, that’s why they are trying so hard to save face. They are insisting that all she needs to do is release a public video apologizing and they will take her back. Apologize for what? He should be the one apologising for touching her first. Her parents are not having it. They’ve said she will not apologize and the University is saying her friend can do it on her behalf. They just want a public apology so that it can seem like she acknowledged her wrong and they took her back.”
“This would be the perfect opportunity to lawyer-up and sue that damn school! Because that school definitely knows they have messed up for supporting harassment of a student captured on tape. Go to court and let’s argue self-defence and see if that lecturer would ever win that case.”
