Bible Reading: Micah 2:1, Proverbs 9:10
Memory Verse: Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God and keep His commandments, For this is man’s all. Ecclesiastes 12:13 (NKJV)
I was supposed to graduate with a First-Class but made 2:1(second class upper) because a lecturer vowed that I can’t be the best student ever in Computer Science Department. What was my offence? He said I was so insolent to publicly correct a wrong notion he postulated in class during one of his lectures, also, since he didn’t graduate with a First Class then nobody else would be in the department as long as he is alive. This happened about 12 years ago. He was the head of the conspiracy that marked me down in my final year. I was very depressed the day I collected my call-up letter to the National Youth Service Corps and saw I was posted to Kebbi one of the educationally less developed states in the country. Going out of the school, I met Dr. Irukefe at the walkway and he said ” I heard about your posting.” He laughed and continued “
It doesn’t cost much to give your details to someone at NYSC, I want to see how your computer knowledge will be useful in a state where you can count the number of computers, you felt you know something l will see how you will make it in this profession. Best of Luck”. And he walked away. I was stunned because I wanted to serve in Lagos, so this was how I got Kebbi. Later, a reliable source told me he said that I should thank my stars that he didn’t make me have an extra year in school. I didn’t know the hatred was so much. I was diligent in my studies because of my poor background, my parent struggled to send me to school. I went to the NYSC camp in Dakingari, very discouraged because I wanted to serve in Lagos where an IT firm had promised to pay me 20,000 Naira apart from my NYSC allowance.
Advice: All lecturers, and people in position of authority must know that all power belongs to God. Lecturers forcing students to sleep with them, lecturers forcing students to pay money before they can earn good grades, lecturers failing students who wouldn’t buy the manual or textbook authored by them, and lecturers who never forgives the wrong of their students, etc, must all know that one day nemesis will catch up with them, and must be wary of transgenerational curse. Repent or perish.
Quote: Meekness is power under control.
Prophetic Decree: May the judgement of God come upon all unrepentant holders of power in public and private sectors, in Jesus name.
