The conviction of Prof. Richard Akindele for predatory sexual misconduct is a major landmark for #HumanRights of women in #Nigeria. The days after the night before, it's useful to look back at this saga of the #SexForMarks scandal ndtv.com/world-news/sex… via @ndtv
Unknown to many, Prof Richard Akindele was on the final shortlist for appointment to be Vice-Chancellor of a Private University somewhere in SW #Nigeria. But for Ms. Monica Osagie, he cld easily have ended up running a university despite a history of trading #SexForMarks
Many easily forget that when Ms. Monica Osagie blew the whistle on #SexForMarks, she was at the receiving end of some vile abuse. I don't expect the ppl who abused her with no just cause to have the honor to retract now but Ms. Osagie & her counsel, @abiolaak are my sheroes
Another person deserves to be spoken of positively in this saga of #SexForMarks is Prof Eyitope Ogunbodede, Vice-Chancellor of Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), @GreatIfeNG. He applied the rules firmly & enhanced the reputation of the OAU for doing things right. #GoodMan!
Prof. Akindele & universities are not exceptions. They're evidence of tolerance of predation that goes on with impunity across all sectors of #Nigerian life, including civil society, professions, judiciary, uniformed services & the civil service. Let's hope this sends the message
