#SexForGrades: Nigerians blast Don Jazzy for his alleged ‘Victim-blaming’ Tweet

Nigerian Music Mogul, Don Jazzy, has been berated by some Nigerians online after his comment about the now-viral ‘Sex for Grades’ scandal was tagged ‘Victim-blaming’.

Don Jazzy was of the opinion that some of the ladies were also guilty of offering their lecturers s*x for good grades, but he was however not in support of the accused lecturer.

His tweet read ;

I understand that some Ladies are also guilty of offering their Lecturers sex for good grades but I believe this documentary will be a deterrent. If the Students know their lecturers will reject their offers, they won’t dare make an attempt

However, his comment was highly misunderstood and some fans berated him.

University policies are against coercion or sex for grades. If we’re going by this ideology, what do we boys offer then? Our ass ?. What’s wrong is wrong, if the ladies know these old fools won’t accept their offers they won’t attempt it in the first place.They’ll go back to books

Oga Don, it’s not mostly the fault of the ladies…
While in school, my friends had such experiences

Those lecturers are way so heartless that they
hold the ladies to the ground with it

Even if the girls don’t know if he’d accept or not. The lecturer should know that sex isn’t the answer to achieving academic success. They’re to reject the offer, others who read to pass their exams don’t have 2 heads.

Why is it that when issues against women are brought up it’s always turned on us?! Even if a few ladies do this how is that now more important than the real victims? Why not use this energy to condemn the lecturers clearly doing this?!

This is very foolish of you sir, with all due respect. Only in Nigeria do minors and charges “offer” people in fiduciary positions sex and it’s okay and we condemn the “offerers”.

This is not voice of any Don. This is ignorance. When a young girl gets into university or polytechnic, I don’t think the first thing she thinks is I will use my body to get grades. No!! When this happens, it’s because the lecturer has turned them. Few actually go along with it

I’m still looking for the point he’s trying to make ? when we’re talking about lecturers assaulting their students it is not the time to yan ‘women are also guilty of xyz’. that’s a different conversation. how are we still explaining these things to grown men
