In reaction, the student made a disrespectful remark and the resulting altercation has been trending online.

But many Nigerians have reacted in anger, blaming the female student for disrespecting someone older than her.

In his reaction, a man who said Dr Okoye was his lecturer defended the academic and said nice things about him.

Ugochukwu Duoh said Dr Okoye was more than a teacher but also a mentor and a father to people like him.

he said:

“It is truly disheartening to see the level of disrespect directed at Dr. Chukwudi, a man who has been more than just a teacher—he has been a father, a mentor, and a guiding light to many of us in the Department of Theatre Arts and Film Studies at Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka.”

Ugochukwu said it was painful to him that Dr Okoye went through such an embarrassment in the hands of a student.

His words:

“To witness such an unfortunate incident is painful, especially knowing how much he has dedicated to shaping and uplifting students. This kind of behavior is unacceptable and should never be condoned.”

He said the lecturer deserved to be honoured for the good things he was doing for students.

He said:

“Sir, I sincerely apologize on behalf of those of us who still hold respect and gratitude for all you have done. You deserve nothing but honor for the sacrifices you have made in molding generations of students. Your legacy stands strong, and we will always stand by you.”
