Students of the University of Ilorin, UNILORIN, have left the internet in shock after a viral video revealed their inability to recall their academic discipline during their matriculation ceremony, raising questions about the state of education and preparedness among freshmen.
The incident, captured in a widely circulated TikTok video, featured multiple students who struggled to articulate what discipline or course they were studying at the university. This unusual occurrence has sparked conversations across various social media platforms.
In the video, the students were casually interviewed about their academic programs. While some appeared visibly confused, others gave responses that either missed the mark or displayed a lack of understanding about their chosen courses. Among all those interviewed, only one student confidently and correctly identified her field of study, making her an unexpected highlight in the footage.
The video, captioned “Happy matriculation to UNILORIN freshmen,” has since amassed thousands of views and comments, with many users expressing concern over the situation while others took a more humorous stance.
This incident has prompted online debates, with some attributing the lapse to the pressure and excitement of the matriculation ceremony, while others raised concerns about student readiness and the need for universities to ensure that their students are fully aware of their academic commitments.
