Man speaks on UNIZIK lecturer’s character
The man who said Dr Okoye was his staff advisor when he was in year two shared how he felt about the video and explained what he knew about the man.
He said:
“This video and the story behind it has been a disturbing one since it graced the internet yesterday. This man in the video is my well respected and cultured lecturer Chukwudi Michael Okoye. I don’t have to write here to vindicate him because the video says everything about him. Calm, cool and collected.
“Dr. Chukwudi was my staff adviser when I was in year two in the prestigious university, Nnamdi Azikiwe University Awka, Department of Theatre and Film Studies. I have found him blameless both as a lecturer and a friend.
“The lady you see in the video assa*lting the well respected lecturer is a 300 level student of History and International Relations in the same university. The video says it all. She started embarrassing the lecturer for excusing her as he passes through a hallway where the said student is recording a TikTok video. #unizik management should do the needful in order to protect what the university stands for.”

Comments from former students of this lecturer has proven that he is a man of honour indeed. The lady story is so watery and unassuming. How on earth would you do this to an elderly man, old enough to be your father. It’s obvious she lacks home training and the fact that her mom is claimed to be a lecturer in same school speaks volume of the kind of upbringing she hails from.
The school should just EXPEL her and DEMOTE her mom for failing in her responsibilities at home and work.
