Ekpoma lecturer sxual harasment scandal- the deeper truth !!
Ekpoma Varsity Lecturer Caught - chuukin for grades
Uploaded by maganayakare_314. - Watch more comedy videos and sitcoms.
This video clip displayed above has generated a lot of controversy and has even led to the Governor of Edo state ordering a detailed investigation into the matter. While Genuine cases of harassment are still rampant in our schools and like rape cases grossly under-reported. Each case must be analyzed individually on its own merit. the video in this cases raises more questions than answers.1. What was the intention of the alleged victim (miss Judith Okosun)? 2. Why was the emphasis on money and the signing of the cheque? 3 was the lecturer being forced to co-operate under duress? 4. This looks like a case of blackmail does two wrongs make a right? 5 why is miss Judith only concern about the lecturer passing her and not that she was being victimized- we are aware of students actually going out of their way to seduce lecturer to get favors as well.
Though this is not an excuse for a lecturer as it is un-ethical whichever way it happens.
I believe there are two types of possible improper relationships between students and lecturer (A.) where the Lecturer harass an innocent student and threatens to fail her if she does not "co-operate" this is the most genuine case of harassment and must be seriously condemned there has to be a way by the authorities to protect students in this category ( B) Where a female student seduces a lecturer by her own free will to get academic favor from the Lecturer which is very common in schools these days. In this case the Lecturer is still a guilty party as having this kind of affair is Un-ethical.
In the video above, it appears Miss Judith from her words is only concerned about passing
judith:" Oh. Sheybi you for don pass me (meaning she already got a passing grade from an earlier s-exual encounter with the professor) , make I go. It is better than all this sweat. "
Also her conduct and action in the video must be put into consideration, i doubt if they ever had the intention of making this video public, was it done mainly to blackmail and get the lecturer to sign the cheque? a lot of questions remained unanswered and i hope the outcome of the investigation will take care of that. Whatever the outcome I think the federal government needs to use this occasion to look deeply into the menace of harassment by Lecturers in our Universities but of course based on the moral decay in the society there is a Thin line between where the student seduces the lecturer and vice versa. There must be a way to protect genuine victims!! Please your opinion is important here please comment on this post to let people know your views
