A Nigerian student has been exposed for cheating in an examination after a vigilant lecturer discovered that he had written answers on his native attire before entering the exam hall.
The shocking incident was captured in a viral post on X, formerly known as Twitter, where the student's face was clearly visible, sparking mixed reactions from netizens.
Reports indicate that the student had meticulously inscribed notes on his traditional outfit, intending to use them as a secret cheat sheet to assist him during the exam. However, his plan was quickly foiled when the lecturer noticed the writings, confronted him on the spot, and proceeded to record a video as evidence.
The video, which has since gone viral, shows the lecturer addressing the student while highlighting the writings on his clothing. Many online users have shared their opinions on the situation, with some condemning the act of cheating, while others criticized the lecturer for filming and exposing the student publicly.
As discussions surrounding the incident gained momentum, several individuals took to the comment section to express their thoughts on the matter, with varying perspectives on whether the student deserved to be publicly shamed.
