The Expulsion of Nigerian Goddy-Mbakwe Chimamaka Precious: A TikTok Incident Gone Viral.

The news as it trends.

Goddy-Mbakwe Chimamaka Precious, a 300-level student in the Department of History and International Studies at UNIZIK in Nigeria, found herself at the center of controversy after a TikTok video incident on campus.

See the video below. 

While dancing and recording herself in a hallway, she was tapped on the shoulder by Dr. Chukwudi Michael Okoye from the Department of Theatre and Film Studies, who asked her to move aside.

Precious responded angrily, accusing the lecturer of hitting her, which escalated into a heated argument and physical altercation.

Precious allegedly grabbed the lecturer’s clothes and bit him on the wrist and arm, according to eyewitness accounts

According to reports, the incident occurred after Dr. Chukwudi Okoye interrupted Precious while she was recording a TikTok video on campus.

This detail added to the controversy, as recording on school property and the subsequent altercation have both played significant roles in the university’s decision to expel her.

The situation quickly went viral, prompting public outrage and demands for disciplinary action.

The university’s disciplinary committee found Precious guilty of gross misconduct and expelled her.

The expulsion sparked a significant debate on social media and news outlets about student discipline and the appropriate response to such behavior.

Despite her expulsion, Precious has received support from various individuals, including a UK-based Nigerian lady named Mkpouto Pius, who offered to help her secure a scholarship abroad.

Precious’s family stands by her and has not issued a public apology as requested by the university. Instead, they are considering legal action against the university for allegedly supporting the lecturer’s harassment.

While some have applauded her decision to stand her ground by confronting the lecturer, some critics argue that a student’s character significantly plays a role when transferring to another country, including letters of recommendation from previous colleges.

It is yet to be seen how this will play out in Precious’s story, even if she plans to study abroad on a scholarship.

This incident has multiple perspectives and complexities, raising important questions about how such situations should be resolved.
