A Nigerian lecturer won praise online after spontaneously joining male students in a viral dance video, with many contrasting his friendly behavior to the recent UNIZIK incident involving a female student.
A Nigerian lecturer has gained widespread praise on social media for his lively and friendly interaction with students.
In a viral video, two male students were recording a dance clip when the lecturer, passing by, unexpectedly joined them. His spontaneous participation has sparked positive reactions from netizens, who applauded his jovial nature.
The video, originally shared on TikTok by @big_khala, quickly gained traction online. The caption of the clip humorously read, “Even my lecturer feels the mood.” Many viewers were delighted by the lecturer’s willingness to engage with students in such a lighthearted way.

Many expressed their appreciation for the bond between lecturers and students, emphasizing the importance of a friendly academic environment.

Some users contrasted this lecturer’s attitude with their own experiences. @Regular guy shared, “All my lecturers only know how to set difficult exam questions and swallow fufu every evening by 7:45. Dem no sabi catch cruise.”
However, the discussion soon took a different turn, with users comparing the behavior of male students to that of female students, particularly referencing the controversial UNIZIK female student who allegedly slapped her lecturer.
