A Nigerian lecturer has captured attention online after filming himself delivering a full lecture to an empty hall when his students failed to attend. The video, shared on X (formerly Twitter), shows the professor standing alone in a vacant classroom, meticulously explaining course material despite the complete absence of attendees.
According to sources, the educator chose to document his lecture session as proof of his professional commitment, demonstrating that he honored his teaching obligations regardless of student participation. The clip has sparked widespread debate about academic dedication versus student engagement in higher education.
As the video circulates, reactions have been divided. Some social media users praised the lecturer’s work ethic, calling it a stark example of professionalism. Others questioned the effectiveness of teaching an empty room, while a segment of commentators speculated whether the situation might be staged for attention.
The incident highlights ongoing discussions about attendance challenges in academic institutions and the evolving relationship between educators and digital-native students in today’s learning environments.
