Lecturer teaches empty class, records video after students skip lecture
A Nigerian lecturer has gone viral after teaching an empty classroom, allegedly due to students failing to show up for lecture.
To prove his dedication, he recorded a video of himself delivering the lecture despite the absence of students.
The incident was shared in a post on X (formerly Twitter), where the professor is seen standing in front of a deserted lecture hall, explaining a topic in his course with no student in sight.
According to the post, the professor reportedly decided to proceed with the lecture and film the session to serve as evidence that he was present and ready to teach, even though none of his students showed up.
As the video gained traction online, many social media users took to the comment section to share their opinions, with reactions ranging from support for the professor’s commitment to concerns about students’ attitudes toward education.
