The comments section of the video was filled with netizens sharing their own experiences of having Nigerian lecturers in foreign countries.
@maureencee, a Nigerian student pursuing her education abroad, expressed her disappointment upon realizing that Nigerian lecturers could still be encountered while seeking higher education in the UK. She had anticipated a fresh start, hoping to leave behind the challenges she faced back in Nigeria. In the video's caption, she lamented, "When you run to the UK for your master's thinking you've escaped Nigerian lecturers."
