Brother Pius:
The reported sad issue or event (debated below) refers to a professor, about whom we have read with our own "korokoro" eyes! Please, permit me to narrate a couple of scenarios that pale the story of the professor!
Well, I still have a postcard (mailed to me by an African friend) showing a professor, dressed in dark suit and with his black briefcase lying open on a floor nearby (the open briefcase showed the professor's grade book). Did the professor have a trip-and-fall accident? No! Lying beneath the professor on the same floor was one of his gorgeous female students. In fact, in a cartoon language, the words allegedly coming out of the mouth of the female student were: "Prof., my grade oooo..." The words attributed to the professor were: "Just cooperate. You'll get highest grade in class..."
I was shocked to see the postcard and the inscriptions attributed to the professor and his female student, both of whom were on the floor together and suppsoedly "ready for sordid business"! However, my shock was reduced or thinned when I was informed, about two weeks later, that the pastor of our former church in North Carolina was caught "naked" hiding in a closet in the home of his church's Minister of Music. Obviously, the pastor was providing some type of counselling for the couple. Sadly, when he realized that the male Minister of Music had reduced manhood( "Potence", and not performing "conjugal duties" very well at home), he decided (as the couple's pastor) to "help" the wife of his Minister of Music. This was an ordained minister, folks! The episode is one of several sad stories about clergymen being, allegedly, caught between sexual crossfire and romantic wars!
In fact, one of America's top civil rights' leaders was, reportedly, guilty of what one of his biographers labelled openly in a published biography as his "sexual athlecticism". Therefore, nothing shocks me any more, not the Nigerian episode of the , obviously, blackmailed professor! Of course, out of shock, some of my good Nigerian friends might still exclaim: "Na waa oo...!"
I am even told that in some African countries today, every "big man" has a wife (known as "desk-top computer") and a mistress (also called "my lap-top computer", which the "big man" carries around). If so, is it only a professor, who is guilty of such unfortunate situations? If there is need for cleansing, it should take place in classroooms, offices, ministries and even in churches!

| Toyin, Toyin, Toyin, How many times I call you? Now that you have seen the video, I must ask: what has Britain done to your pidgin? The dialogue is clear enough. Maybe dialogue is not the word. Roforofo is a better word. The girl and the boys outside clearly state their case. Unless you don't believe them or your pidgin has gone rusty in the penumbra of Cockney, I don't know what other evidence you are looking for. Must you see the Professor's exposed dick actually violate the territorial integrity of the lady's womanhood before you believe? Whether he was lured or not lured, a you see a Professor under-dressed in a female student's room with your korokoro eyes - with the student saying he had slept with her before and still failed her -, you hear one of the male students grumbling loudly about wetin lecturers don take im eye see, and you are still asking to see the nail holes in Jesus's hands before you can take a position. Toyin, all parties are guilty. The Prof is guilty The students who turn the whole thing to a disgraceful scenario of extorsion and blackmail are also guilty. The students and their Prof are us. That is our society. Stop asking for more evidence before you denounce this national tragedy in clear, unambiguous, and strong terms.
