John Nwanwa, a Nigerian youth, has shared his next line of action if he is the father of Goddy-Mbakwe Chimamaka Precious, the expelled UNIZIK student.

According to John, the university buckled under pressure from internet users, who were against the female student, by expelling her.

He hailed Imo State University, Owerri, saying students of the institution are always in cordial relationship with their lecturers.

In a lengthy Facebook post, John added that the expulsion decision suggests that parents could do better than educational institutions.

John Nwanwa said he would have dragged UNIZIK to court if the expelled student was his daughter. His Facebook post read:

"It obvious that UNIZIK decision on this matter is based on societal pressure and it so bad...

"I can bet it with you, to Assemble all the UNIZIK students and do research on them about rules and regulations of their school, you will be surprised that 98% of the students doesn't know their school policy, rules and punishment attached to misconducts.

"There you will spot if these pupils were taken on orientation before they were enrolled in theirs various area of discipline.

"That's why I love imo state university, students are always in cordial relationship with lecturers, and such situation is not big for any lecturer in imo state university, Even a new employed lecturer to handle insurmountably.

"UNIZIK was threatened by social media and reputation to expulse the girl.

"Before you come after me, mind you, I am not in support of the girl behaviour towards the lecturer, I will never be in support of her bad attitude. I only stand firm in objectivity.

"The expulsion on the girl is very unfair punishment.

"Because, isn't about the child, but her parents. If a child will be expulse for fighting lecturer, she wasn't suspended or given another punishment, it means that parents can do better than educational institution. And we must not worry to send our kids to school while we can do better than them.

"Honestly, If I must be the father of that child, I will sue the school authority and management for unfair decision on my child. But Problem here is, we are primitive to know and fight our right."

Reacting to the viral physical altercation involving a UNIZIK lecturer and a now-expelled, Comrade Ezemmadu Miracle Obianuju, vice president of the Faculty of Management Sciences, Imo State University (IMSU), told Legit.ng that the expulsion was a severe decision.

The IMSU student leader, who blamed the expelled student, highlighted the consequences of her action. In her words:

"First of all, I would say the school authorities went too far with their decision. The reason is that the lecturer would have called the girl to his office rather than commanding her in public to delete those videos.

"This would have combated the action that took place on that very day. The school authorities shouldn’t have expelled her, starting back from year one would have been the best decision (rustication).

"The reason why I said this is, the expulsion doesn’t just deal with UNIZIK alone. It reflects on other tertiary schools within the country, making it extremely hard for her to be admitted, her persona is destroyed having been portrayed already by the media as a rude, untrained, low-level person who makes videos in a schooling place.

"We are in a net age where everyone and everything hits the net and netizens are the first responder judges not minding there are sequences in their words that hurt. Merely looking at this case, I would suggest there should be a more appropriate sentence than expulsion. The schooling system not just killed her dreams but made it officially impossible to be admitted within the country and who knows her videos would have been seen by other institutions outside the country and wouldn’t want anything to do with a student of such character.

"While being fair I blame the lady in question, she shouldn’t have escalated the situation, this is where upbringing comes in question, a well-trained and mannered lady wouldn’t react the way she did, public approach and method of thinking comes into play, the ability to ascertain your surroundings and ways to go about a situation matters. I believe with the two reasons mentioned, both the students and lecturers will be rational in thinking or carrying out any actions."

Colman Ejerenwa said:

"I also think that expulsion is a punishment too far. And I say so because the lecture was the first to touch her.

"Secondly, the lecture was the one that went back to the girl and requested that she delete the video from her phone. The phone she was using for the video was not the school property.

"And I think that the fight started when the lecture tried to take the phone by force from the student.

"She has no single reasons to fight the lecture, I think suspension is appropriate here but not expulsion."

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a former president of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) had demanded justice for the expelled UNIZIK student.

The comrade maintained that both parties involved in the physical altercation were at fault and knocked the institution for punishing only the student.

He shared a clip which he claimed was edited out of the viral video and cried out that the lecturer was not innocent. He said the student was actually the assault victim.
