Oko, Anambra State, Nigeria.

The management of Federal Polytechnic Oko Anambra State has issued a statement through the examination committee prohibiting its female students from wearing trousers and the male students from keeping beard, afro or grown hair during the examination.
In what seems to be move to ensure absolute compliance to directives , the School's Anti -cult unit has been mandated to prevent defaulting students from accessing the examination halls.

Reacting to the new development, a student from Department of Mass communication who identified himself as Ikenna described the move as "senseless, oppressive and uncalled for". He further described the new management of the polytechnic and in fact some of the lecturers as agents of oppression. In his words "I don't know what the new acting Rector wants to turn the school into. I don't know if they wants to turn this higher institution into a secondary school? About a month ago one of the lecturers slapped the SUG president for just no cause. They even once mandated everyone to wear the school polo or departmental polo to the examination centers especially at Mass com exam center but the SUG gave it a fight"

Reacting to the issue Chidimma, an ND2 female student from Office Technology department advised that the actions of some of the lecturers and even the anti cult should be checkmated.
"Here is like a jungle were the lecturers and the anti cult are gods. A lecturers will force you to buy his half baked textbooks at exorbitant prices, some will even slap you and threaten you with carryover if you dare ask for your rights. The anti cult once you get reported to them, pounce on the student without questioning. The government should look into the abuse of power going on here."


The Students' union Government of Federal Polytechnic Oko is yet to react on the matter.

and yet,none of these Nigerian universities is one of the best in the world. this one is even a poly. so keeping beards means you are irresponsible? so,alfas are irresponsible for practising their religion? keeping Afro too means you are irresponsible when the greatest inventors in the world thag yhese bush lecturers cant stand near all have long hairs. Tell me Woke Soyinka is irresponsible too. most Nigerians have below average IQ,maybe its the food they eat,I don't know

What kind of a primitive thinking is this bikonu?
This is a public school for crying out loud.

Girls shouldn't wear trousers in this modern age

What the Bleep is wrong with girls in trousers

An academic degree awarded in higher institutions is both in character and learning.

There are so many graduates flaunting their degrees out there with characters of a typical New York gangster and Las Vegas Strippers.

As far as character is concerned, many Nigerian students lack it completely.

Decency is no longer trending.
You put on a decent skirt, you are called holy holy,
You put your trousers where it should be and have a decent hair cut with neatly trimmed beards, you are called Jew man.

The school authority should not make the rule of decency only applicable during exams but should enforce it as a standing rule in the school from the school gate.

Moral decadence should not be allowed to thrive on our campuses.


As notorious as Ambrose Alli University Ekpoma used to be for cultism and incessant dressing by students, during the reign of Professor Aigbomian as VC some years ago, rules like this were set up and enforced strictly through a committee known as ACT RIGHT. It brought sanity to that campus. You do anyhow, you see anyhow. You can be an Agbero outside school gate but once you cross the gate inside, you must act right. No face cap, no handless, no tight seductive trousers, no three-quatre, no bangles, no funny nails. Etc. I heard that trend of sanity is still on till date on that campus. Even those postume students who sat for exams there were no spared because you can't dress to an exam looking like an ambassador of rags or a Rastafarian.

Those who cannot comply are thrown out!

Enough of this trend of rubbish on campus in the name of freedom. Freedom to be mad right?

We are Africans, decency is our pride and culture.

Kudos to the school authority @ Federal Poly Okoh
