Please, if you are a student in any higher institution and you are subjected to sexual harassment by a lecturer or any staff member, there are legal ways to address it.
The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) has treated sexual harassment in schools as sexual corruption and abuse of office, especially where someone in authority demands sexual gratification in exchange for academic favour. This may fall under Sections 8 and 19 of the ICPC Act.
There is also the Sexual Harassment of Students (Prevention and Prohibition) Bill, which has been passed by the National Assembly and is awaiting presidential assent.
If signed into law, it prescribes a prison sentence of 5 to 14 years, without the option of a fine, for educators convicted of sexual misconduct.
But please, as angry as these cases make us, do not resort to beating anyone.
Once you physically attack an accused person, the case can quickly shift from sexual harassment to assault, causing hurt, or unlawful violence. You may end up becoming the person facing criminal liability.
Document your evidence. Report to the institution. Petition ICPC, the police, or other relevant authorities.
Do not resort to jungle justice.

Don't give up
Divorce lawyer James Sexton on why modern marriage feels unfair to men.
He says the man is expected to provide financially, protect, and be part of the family, all enforceable by the state. But the woman’s side (love, affection, sex, being a good mother) can’t be forced.
If he fails, he can go to jail. If she fails, nothing.
He told the story of an air traffic controller who lost his high-paying job due to anxiety after his mother died. The court still imputed his old salary for child support, leading to jail time when he couldn’t pay.
What’s your opinion, do you think the legal risks in marriage are unfairly stacked against men?
Wallaahi tallahi you guys are animals, and someone needed to tell you that without mincing words.
There is literally nothing exceptional about this. If anything, if it were possible, he was supposed to stone the governor.
His wife’s death was avoidable. If the governor had been doing his job, if security in the state had been adequate, his wife wouldn’t have died, and her children wouldn’t have been orphaned.
I mean, who, if not an animal, would use another person’s death to talk about “daukaka”? Daukaka when the government failed him and allowed riffraffs to kill his wife?

This guy was caught trying to steal garri from a market stall. Instead of beating him immediately, they served him a huge pot of soaked garri and a plate of beans. If he finishes everything on the spot, he walks free. If he can’t, they will mend him. 😭
You need to have balls of steel to drive "intellectual" conversations in today's Nigeria social media space.
As for the congregation of the uprisen olodos, in the conversation of the Olodo uprising - I have decided to share my own think piece.
Algorithms Are Colonising African Youths
Nigerian historian Iyo Obietonbara argues that social media algorithms are a tool of colonialism, influencing what African youths consider valuable. Instead of building organisations to struggle for liberation, many of our young people are making videos about trivial matters.
