Another one from another victim:

"Thank you for being a voice to the voiceless. You article brought me tears. It was like you telling my story. I studied to earn my PhD at UI and at a point when my abstract was delayed for over 2 years without much 'genuine' reason. Now it's in the past but I felt bruised and battered. I am gradually getting back to life but now I have no hope in our academic environment"

"I dropped out PhD at ABU the day myself and coursemates got a message to come rewrite an exam, not because we failed, but because a Professor who took us Advanced Research Methodology didn't submit our grades. Why? He said he misplaced them. The annoying part, a year after we wrote the exams.

I threatened to report him to the school authorities, but his fellow irresponsible lecturer send me a subtle threat message, YOU REPORT HIM, YOU WILL NEVER GRADUATE.

So, I left the program for them after completing my course work and presenting two seminar papers.

The only public Institutions with a bit of sanity that I know is the Nigerian Defence Academy. No lecturer can get to misbehave."


I have many such stories and even witnessed a a couple myself.
