The Delta State College of Nursing Sciences has issued a query to a Student Nurse, Osato Edobor, for what it called ‘malicious act of recording/singing and posting unofficial response’ to the song to welcome the First Lady Remi Tinubu to the school, on her TikTok and Facebook pages, following the visit of the Wife of the President to the institution earlier in the week on Tuesday as part of the Renewed Hope Initiative Health Programme and distribution of 10,000 Professional Kits.
PACESETTER reports that in the letter dated March 27, 2025, signed by the Provost, Mrs. Evbodaghe Rita Ogonne, and shared by Broadcast Journalist Rufai Oseni on his verified X handle, the school requested Edobor to provide a written explanation within 24 hours, justifying why disciplinary action shouldn’t be taken against her.
The letter reads: “It has come to the notice of the school authority that you, Student Nurse Osato Edobor, on the 25th of March, 2025, during the official visit of the First Lady of Nigeria, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, CON, at Dome Event Center, Asaba, for the Renewed Hope Initiative Health Programme and distribution of 10,000 Professional Kits (Crocs and Scrubs) to Midwives in each Geopolitical Zone of Nigeria South South Zone, was found to be engaged in a malicious act of recording/singing and posting an unofficial response to a song during the arrival of the First Lady (found on your TikTok Page). This is a punishable offence as enshrined in the Student Handbook under standardised disciplinary action for some punishable offences No. 8, Page 21.
“You are therefore requested to explain in writing in triplcate copies within 24hours of receipt of this letter why disciplinary action should not be taken against you for this act”.
The Letter
Recall that during the event at the Dome Event Center, Asaba, students were expected to chant “Na our mama be this o, we no get another one” in response to a song to welcome the First Lady of Nigeria to the event.
However, a section of the students instead responded with “Na your mama be this oo ehh…,” an apparent rejection of Mrs Tinubu by the students, a development which quickly went viral on social media.
But is the woman in question, their Mama? It is evident that their Mama may be at their various homes, while you are forcing them, to claim another woman, as their surrogate mother? The government can still declare a state of Emergency on that School of Nursing Sciences and leave that student alone! Nigeria, a terrible country with terrible leaders!!
