A viral video showing officials at Olabisi Onabanjo University (OOU) allegedly enforcing a "no bra, no exam" policy has ignited nationwide outrage. The footage shows female students being physically inspected before entering an exam hall.
  • A 10-second clip surfaced online showing students lined up for chest inspections.
  • University officials are accused of enforcing an unconfirmed dress code that requires bras for exam entry.
  • The video triggered backlash over privacy invasion and misplaced academic priorities.
  • Critics call the act sexist and humiliating, with calls for NUC and gender watchdog intervention.
  • OOU has yet to release an official statement denying or confirming the policy.
This incident touches a raw nerve in Nigeria's ongoing debate over morality, autonomy, and institutional overreach. While some defend “decency” rules, the optics of policing women's undergarments during exams reflect troubling priorities. In a country battling education underfunding, this signals a deeper cultural rot disguised as discipline.

Shouldn’t schools focus on failing infrastructure instead of fashion policing? Public accountability is due.
