A video making waves on X (formerly Twitter) captures the moment a lecturer at Ekiti State University, EKSU called a student‘s parent during a lecture to report her conduct.

In the footage, the lecturer and the student stand before the class as the student hands over her phone.

Seconds later, the lecturer begins a conversation with the student’s sister, requesting to speak with their parent.

The lecturer can be heard saying:

“Hello, good morning, ma. I’m calling on behalf of Akeem Mosunmola. Do you know her?”

“I’m one of her lecturers. Are you the one sponsoring her education in EKSU? If your father is with you, I’d like to speak with him. I need to report her.”

As the incident unfolds, murmurs from students in the background suggest mixed reactions.

After the video surfaced online, concerned individuals took to the comment section to share their thoughts.

See some reactions below:

@flowzki: “this makes no sense tbh … schooling in this country is rubbished by the day by lecturers who think their job is more than teaching in those classes, this ain’t secondary school this is a university .. none of these makes any sense.”

@KinqKudos: “Some students think university is a social club until reality hits. That lecturer did the right thing by informing the girl’s parents. If you’re not serious about school, at least let your sponsors know so they can invest in something else!”

@theonlyolamide: “she’s a good lecturer who wants to see other people’s children succeed in life; some lecturers don’t even care why you come to school. Dem go just Dey look you say eno concern dem. So far say dem go see their salary collect at the end of the month. If u like no come class.”

@Unknownmike11: “If all lecturers are doing like this, protecting students, nothing will go wrong with students in their academic. But some lecturers don’t want students at all.”

@chababy81: “You can’t try that with me. You why some students don’t respect their lectures because they do too much. Can you imagine.”

@NikkiMary278018: “ It must’ve been such an uncomfortable and stressful situation for everyone involved.”

@sulucious: “She did the right thing,because if she has taking the law into her own hands now,you’ll will start saying she should get arrested for it so she did the right things by reporting to the family.”

@Bossman9_: “She could have find a way to counsel her if she doesn’t change then she can invite her parents over and find a way to help her. Taking to her parents infront of everyone is quite embarrassing and not encouraging.”
