Ex-neighbour speaks about UNIZIK lecturer
In a Facebook post, Blessing said her family lived downstairs in a flat in Okokomaiko, Lagos while Dr Chukwudi and his family occupied the flat upstairs.
She said they lived together for some years before the academic relocated to the east with his family, adding that Dr Chukwudi is not really old but just has grey hairs.
Commenting on his family, she said his mum is very beautiful and light-skinned, while his dad is dark-skinned. She added that one of his sisters is light-skinned like his mum.
At that time, Blessing said Dr Chukwudi was very quiet but couldn’t say about now. While marvelling at the realisation, she faulted his behaviour in the viral physical altercation incident.
“Ewo! My younger sister just called my attention to the fact that the lecturer(Chukwudi) in question used to be our neighbor.
“When we moved out of Navy Town, and New site, my daddy got a place in Okokomaiko. Chukwudi and his family lived upstairs in the flat we were staying. My family lived downstairs. We lived in that compound for a couple years together before his family left Lagos to the East.
“Wow! I did not recognize him. I had to go watch the video again and I immediately recognized him. He is not that old o. Na grey hair just come fast.
“Chukwudi’s mum is very beautiful and light skinned. His dad is dark skinned and only one of his sisters took their mums color(If I remember correctly). They all look like their dad.
“What a small world. And Chukwudi was very quiet then o. I do not know about now, but then.
“Anyways, this world is really small. After all these years, I got to see my neighbor again through a controversy.
“This does not still change my stance on the matter. The Lecturer, who happens to be Chukwudi, my former neighbor, did not handle the matter in a. Civil and mature way.”
Reactions trail UNIZIK lecturer’s ex-neighbour’s testimony
Mary Titilayo said:
“Thank God he is no more your neighbour, you would have implicated him with this your stupid stand on the matter. Thank God it also happened in an open place, you would have supported the lady to implicate him for ra.pe. God will continue to fight for the man.”
Omeoga Priscilla Chinenyenwa said:
“The girl was badly behaved. For those of you that went to school, if by any means you meet a lecturer on the walkway you know how it use to be, you have to comport yourself and greet loud to avoid problem but this girl get mind go stand close to class wey lecturer dey teach dey do video. Generation of TikTok every minute dem dey do video.”
Rosy Akpabio said:
“She would have been in school now,if she was trained in using the magic word”Sorry”
“The lecturer said please excuse me young lady.
“She would have responded” l’m sorry Sir, good afternoon”.
“She must have learned a lesson.”
Bless Sing said:
“It’s highly disrespectful for that girl to say something like “can u imagine” ??
“First of, the man just touched her on her back and said excuse me, so I see no reason she should reply harshly to the man knowing fully well that man can birth her.
“So all of these things are due too lack of good and better upbringing, parents should really buckle up their training methods on children cos this our generation ehhh children are too disrespectful and it baffles me at times.”
Lady lists questions for expelled UNZIK student
Meanwhile, TheTalk.NG previously reported that a lady had highlighted eight questions she would ask the expelled UNIZIK student if she is her daughter.
According to the lady, who is a special needs teacher, any child who chooses to disgrace her publicly would pray to be in an orphanage after she is done with the child.
She said she would first ask the expelled student, Goddy-Mbakwe Chimamaka Precious, what exactly she applied to study at Nnamdi Azikiwe University and what she was supposed to be doing at the time she was recording the video on campus.
