A video circulating on the internet shows a lecturer in Auchi Polytechnic punishing his students by asking them to kneel.
Students are seen kneeling outside instead of being inside their class to receive lectures.
This kind of punishment is significant in primary and secondary schools, not in higher institutions.
The video generated mixed reactions. Some supported the action while others condemned the punishment.
Below are some of the reactions:

This can only happen in Africa and particularly Nigeria.
Never heard or seen such happen in the Western world

If it’s not because of the fear of failing the course, who would heed to this punishment? This is better them sha.
More so, some adults deserve this kind of punishment, some Adults these days behave like children.

Must we have copied everything about the western world?
Their science and technology, that we can copy. But our culture of discipline (using the rod, punitive measures) that they should copy!
I’m pretty sure the lecture had a good reason for taking such punitive measures.
We’re African, this is our way of life!

There is no discipline in this, treating an undergraduate student in pupil style is a high rate of a downgrade, dehumanizing, deluding, any disdain. This said lecturer should be called to order because I see the days counting.
Auchi community is the bedrock of Mother Temple in FJ.
A female 100 level student can sway a final Year putting the lecturer in destruction.

Why cant he just allow them to miss that day’s attendance instead of all this.
Imagine asking this matured soul to kneel down
