Lecturer fails course rep for increasing the price of handout
A social media user recently shared a candid story about a past encounter with a former lecturer during their school days. The user, who served as the course representative at the time, recounted how she was failed by the lecturer after being caught marking up the price of a course handout.
The post reads: “I came across my former lecturer in school back then. I was his course rep. The man failed me because he found out I added N1000 to the handout he asked me to sell for N4000. He said I’m the reason why students didn’t buy it.”
This revelation has sparked a flurry of reactions on social media, with users expressing a wide range of opinions on the matter:

The student’s admission to increasing the handout price by N1000, which resulted in fewer purchases by classmates, has sparked a broader conversation about ethics, accountability, and the consequences of actions within academic environments.
While some users criticized the student for exploiting their position, others focused on the lecturer’s response and the fairness of the punishment.
