A Nigerian student has shared a viral story about how she challenged an F grade in her final year first semester and successfully got it changed to a B after approaching her professor for a remark. The incident, which she recounted on X (formerly Twitter), has sparked widespread reactions online.
Student's Bold Move to Question Her Grade
Identified as @ladycee on X, the student said she was awarded an F in her final year first semester but believed something was wrong with the marking. In her post, she recalled how she approached the professor in charge to request a thorough investigation of her result.
The lecturer reportedly became angry and questioned her audacity to challenge his grading. He then gave her a mathematics question to solve, warning that she would be severely punished if she failed. The student said she solved the question in ten minutes, after which the lecturer asked her identity. She introduced herself and reiterated her request for a script remark.
Professor Discovers Unmarked Script
When the lecturer retrieved her script, he discovered that it had not been fully marked. He proceeded to properly remark the script, and as a result, the student's grade was changed from an F to a B. The student shared her story to encourage others to stand up for themselves when they suspect academic errors.
Reactions from Social Media Users
Nigerians flooded the comments section to react to the post. One user, NotesbyOnyi, said: “Omo these lectures are just evil, imagine if you didn't go to complain. Thank God for you.” Another commenter, Amina, noted: “Happy for you o cause final year students don’t even see their results in my school. It’s straight to ‘Congratulations, you have/have not graduated’.”
Bianca added: “You are lucky cos during my own time I insisted that I wanted a remark and nothing was done. He said I should pay 50k for remarking. I wan craze.”
Previous Incident Involving UNIZIK Lecturer
This story follows a related incident where a Nigerian lady dragged a UNIZIK lecturer over unprofessional conduct. Legit.ng earlier reported that the lady broke her silence regarding the trending case between a UNIZIK female student and a lecturer, accusing the lecturer of acting in bad faith.
The viral story serves as a reminder for students to advocate for their academic rights, as errors in grading can sometimes be rectified through proper channels.
