Ugo further joked about the possible questions the said lecturer could ask his students in his next exam. He wrote:
“This lecturer deserves an award.
“He is a modern lecturer.
“Akpabio and Wike are now being studied in schools.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
“Look at questions 3, 4 and 5.
“In his next exam, guy might ask them to discuss Ebin pawa o and it’s relationship with Babasopecracy 🤦.
“Or he might even ask them to examine the Lagos calabar road project and due process and determine if cronyism can renew hope 🤦🤣.”

Wike-Fubara appear in university exam
Apart from the Natasha-Akpabio saga, the current power tussle between FCT Minister Nyesom Wike and the suspended Rivers State Governor, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, was also featured.
It appeared in question five and read:
“Briefly examine the Fubara-Wike’s power-tussle and propose measures to create and sustain healthy politicking in Rivers State, Nigeria.”
It is noteworthy that Burkina Faso’s military leader Ibrahim Traore also appeared in the exam.
TheTalk.NG reached out to Ugo, who posted the question paper, to enquire how he came about it, but he had yet to respond at the time of this report.
Usmanu Danfodiyo University exam question stirs reactions
TheTalk.NG has compiled some reactions to the post below;
Prince Ifeanyi Sunday said:
“The lecturer was also comparing the military ruler of Burkina Faso to the likes of Awolowo Azikiwe&Sardauna.. you see why the kids would always come on social media to call for military rule in Nigeria…”
Obakanse Lakanse said:
“This is highly irresponsible.Both HOD and the lecturer must be sanctioned.”
Bukade Onipede Solomon said:
“99% of the students would failed the exam.
“Most Nigerian student don’t know or can’t express what is going on in the political space. If the faculty of social sciences are setting questions like this, the outcome would be a massacre.”
Idu Ewomazino Theophilus said:
“Tell the lecturer to ask the students to explain why Burkina Faso citizens are not hyping the Traore the way Nigeria social media influencers are hyping him.”
Iyke Anyadike Iyke said:
“Yes.
“The Man is in tune with current realities in the political landscape.
“He’s a modern day Lecturer and should be applauded, appreciated and Rewarded 💯.”
Nw Osi said:
“These are simple questions.
“He is a sick lecturer if he has not taught anything about Traore and set it.
“Nigeria lecturers are known for going out of scope; schools abroad can never infuse what is not on your module into an exam question.
“How can you answer question 3 when you are not living in Burkina Faso, lecturing on it, or conducting proven research?”
High Court decides in Natasha-Akpabio case
Meanwhile, TheTalk.NG previously reported that the High Court had taken a decision in the legal battle involving Senator Natasha and Senate President Akpabio.
According to The Punch, Justice Binta Nyako of the Federal High Court fixed a date after the second and third defendants made their submissions. The defendants told the court that they had filed an application that drew the plaintiff’s attention to the alleged contempt.
The legal battle between Akpabio and Natasha started with a disagreement over a sitting arrangement during a Senate plenary on February 20.
