Content creator Asherkine has narrated a frustrating encounter at the University of Lagos (UNILAG), alleging that he was stopped by school officials while filming on campus without permission. In a video shared online, the influencer claimed he was taken to the Student Affairs office and later escorted off the premises by security personnel.
Frustration Over Treatment
Expressing his displeasure, Asherkine said, “That's why I don't come here. It's my school too, but that's why I don't come.” He emphasized that he has never faced similar restrictions while filming at other institutions, which he says explains why he rarely creates content at UNILAG despite being an alumnus.
The incident has sparked reactions from fans and followers, with many debating the university's filming policies and the treatment of content creators on campus.
Context and Reactions
UNILAG, like many Nigerian universities, has guidelines regulating media activities on its premises, often requiring prior authorization for commercial or large-scale shoots. However, Asherkine's claim of being singled out has raised questions about enforcement consistency.
As of this report, UNILAG officials have not publicly responded to the allegations. The video, shared by Linda Ikeji's blog, has garnered significant attention online, with many users sharing their own experiences with campus security.
This incident highlights the ongoing friction between content creators and institutional policies, as the creator economy continues to grow in Nigeria.
