A Nigerian man has come under fire after he shared photos of himself wearing a rumpled graduation gown in celebration of his graduation from the university.

Some social media users who weren't impressed by his choice of outfit trolled him for wearing an academic regalia that looked pretty ruffled on such an important occasion.

The graduate of computer science from the National Open University (NOUN), in response to some reactions on the gown, said it was ironed but got rumpled in the bag he had kept it.
