A 200 Level student of the Department of Mass Communication, Covenant
University has been recently expelled by the school authorities for
indulging in “acts of indecent behavior manifested through reckless
dressing”.
FNN would like to remind our readers of the time when
the school management in October 2013 passed a regulation calling for
all students to be well dressed at all times within the campus.
However,
this 200 level student was caught by a lecturer when he wore waist
trimmers to lectures with the aim of enhancing the succinct shape of his
not-so-supple-waist.
Waist trimmers are originally worn by girls
with low self esteem about the shape of their bodies. It helps them
define the shape of their waste in an attractive manner.
It was
therefore shocking when this 200 level student walked into class wearing
one of such waist trimmers which was to the consternation of the
lecturer who immediately noted his MAT Number.
This errant
student (name withheld) was then asked to immediately go home and change
his attire, while his name was reported to the Disciplinary Committee.
His
parents were contacted, and he was placed on immediate suspension by
the school authorities. However, when a search of his hostel room
revealed such exigiencies as lipstick, pancake, and other make-up
equipments, as well as some ornamentary jewelries originally worn by
girls, the suspension order was immediately converted to an expulsion
order.
The parents of the culprit had to beg the school
authorities from handing him over to the Police for prosecution under
the Sexual Offences Act.
When FNN correspondents managed to
broker a meeting with the expelled student, he confessed that the reason
why he wore the waist trimmer to class was because he had been having
low self esteem about the shape of his waist and only wanted to look
“pretty”.
He said that he was going to appeal against his
expulsion because he felt it was unjust, as it amounts to inequality and
injustice to permit girls to wear waist trimmers while boys cannot wear
same.
