A Twitter user @KelvinOssai shared s screenshot of the project’s back cover on Social media.

Reacting to the news, some nigerians had these to say:

Jimoh Lateef wrote:The topic should have been broad in scope rather than narrowing it to a section of students. It is a societal ills that requires more empirical analysis and findings and should be wider in scope. The supervisor should help reshape the topic.

Ochyii Jenny wrote: It’s actually a topic of discussion. The problem here is the choice of words ‘ashawoism’ made the whole thing sound irrelevant and informal….. An experienced supervisor would help to rephrase it….

Olutunji Timothy wrote: This is a very good topic and research works, better than the thousands of copy and paste abstract projects.
