A Nigerian lecturer has shown that not all lecturers are unaccommodating as he could be seen in a viral video carrying his student's baby while the mum and other students receive lectures.
In the video that was shared by @instablog9ja on Instagram, the Western Delta University lecturer walked around the classroom as the lecture went on and the baby did not interrupt the flow.
He dictated a note to the students and the baby appeared to be enjoying the atmosphere.

A lecturer at the University of Calabar identified as Frederick Bassey was celebrated on social media for assisting one of his students, who is a mother of twins. The lecturer helped his student babysit her twins.
According to Bassey, who talked about the experience on Twitter, the student was writing a statistics exam and he knew she would need help looking after her twins while she wrote the exam.
Bassey explained that he decided to babysit for her so she could properly write her exam. He said he knew it would be stressful to write her exam and babysit.
