A nursing student recently shared a shocking video showing her lecturer cutting her long, braided hair, along with the hair of other students, after returning from the holiday break.

The student, who returned with a festive, bold hairstyle, was met with the lecturer's decision to cut her hair, as long braids are reportedly against the school's code of conduct. According to the institution’s rules, students are not supposed to resume with such elaborate hairstyles, particularly when it may pose hygiene and safety concerns in a clinical setting.

One netizen weighed in with a comment that’s quickly gaining attention: "That’s what happens when you fail to recognize that every job has its own ethics and code of conduct. For instance, a nurse wearing long braids to a hospital or clinic while attending to patients wouldn’t be appropriate. Understand your job’s ethics, and you’ll find peace."

But how does clean and nicely put hair affects one's job?

Are such rules to be enforced by lecturers?

Case Closed!

The same Nigerians screaming blue murder about corruption, won't bat an eyelid when breaking organizational rules & regulations.

Hypocritical lots!

Give homo sapiens an inch, they'll go several miles before a twinkle of an eye.


Rules & regulations are what separates us from animals.

And if the lecturers do nothing, people like you will be the first to castigate their negligence

are you okay?

So westerners are animals? Because they're the ones who introduced nursing to Africans and they still keep their long hair, unless if Nigerian nurses are assumed to be incapable of looking after their long hair.

You should at least do some research before posting.

I won't condescend to your level, as you want to turn this to a South Africa vs Nigeria professional competency supremacy.

Nothing wrong, as long as it is health related

Most Nigerians deserve the type of leaders they get.

How do you even justify this?
Yes, there are rules against keeping long hair/hairstyles but does the rule say the hair must be cut carelessness in the class?

Two wrongs don't make a right. Send the students home, give them mark deductions, suspend them, do anything but not this barbaric act.

This is abuse of power and position and it should have no place in a sane environment.

Is your environment sane?

Good thing you did a screenshot... It says nothing about how a nurse should be cutting her hair short... But it says it should be clean and well put either in a pony tail or a bun, exactly what I said.

The institution they attend is not asking them to cut their hair short. It has rules, and if they'd kept their hair according to those rules of their institution, they'd likely not have had it cut, is the point here.

If you arrive at work as a nurse with your hair long in a UK hospital, your matron will tell you to go bun it.

That lecturer could've told her to go out and not return into her class until she put her hair in a bun or pony tail.

There's nothing wrong with a matron telling the nurse to put her hair in a bun.

Like would you have still agreed with what the lecturer did if she was white? Wouldn't you say it's racism?

The colour of the lecturer is irrelevant in Nigeria where everyone is the same black, but I do agree "that the lecturer could've told her to go out and not return into her class until she put her hair in a bun or pony tail". But this is Nigeria, where lecturers treat pupils like 3 year olds, and the 3 year old in this instance should have known better since there are rules.

That lecturer should be sued

I think they have a general rulebook and she is keeping to it. That's how that one kept a long hair that could have killed her and she was confidently parading the streets with her ignorance.

I am not a nurse but common sense can tell you why long hair and hospitals are not friendly to each other.

There's no need for capping. end of topic

Nurse caps were worn to keep hair out of a nurse's face, to limit the spread of germs, and to show that the wearer was a nurse. 

She should be made to pay a very huge fine for wearing such yeye hair against all the teachings and code of conduct.

It's not only in Nigeria, it's an African problem.

Sometimes we Africans are the ones enabling racism against ourselves because those westerners are watching and taking notes as we speak... Next thing we're going to cry racism when they start treating us the exact same way we treat each other.

That's why most of the time when I hear those black South African parents whose children attend those multiracial schools complaining about racism against their children for wearing their natural African hair, I no longer get surprised.

Like how do you expect those white teachers to react to African hair when we have plenty of black schools in this same South Africa whereby female children are not allowed to grow their hair and would be made to stay bald throughout their school years? Like we're the ones enabling racism against ourselves.

I think your argument here is way outside the scope of this thread. And the way you mention South Africa makes me presume you might be South African (confirm please), which definitely would make you view this issue from a completely different perspective than a Nigerian might.

In UK, how black people treat themselves has no bearing on the general treatment of black people, because we are mandated to be blind to race, age, sex, disability, gender reassignment, marriage or civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, religion or belief, and sexual orientation by the Equality Act 2010, which influences my own perspective and view.

In Nigeria, tribalism (and genderism, if I may), is more of an issue than race.
