Delta State school of Nursing, Agbor has threatened to punish one of its students, Osato Edobor over her involvement in a viral controversial “welcome” song in which student nurses ridiculed Nigeria’s First Lady and wife of the President, Senator Oluremi Tinubu.
Recall that Mrs Tinubu on Tuesday visited Delta State, in her advocacy for free treatment programmes for Human Immunodeficiency Virus/ Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome, HIV/AIDS patients in the country.
However, what caught the attention of many Nigerians, is the way the student nurses embarrassed the president’s wife, after rejecting her as the mother of the nation.
This comes after the MC of the event sang a praise song describing Mrs Tinubu, their mother, in pidgin English, calling on students to join in the song.
“Na our mama be this o, we no get another one,” the MC sang, expecting students to respond in affirmation that the first lady is their mother.
However, the students responded, “na your mama be this o eh,” rejecting and saying Mrs Tinubu is the mother of the MC and not their mother.
In the letter, seen by TheNewsGuru on Friday and signed by the provost, Evbodaghe Rita Ogonne, the school accused Ms Edobor of singing, recording and circulating a trending viral video of nursing students rejecting Mrs Tinubu as their mother.
She was given 24 hours to respond to the query.
“It has come to the notice of the school authority that you, Student Nurse Osato Edobor on the 25th of March, 2025 during 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 engage in malicious act of recording/singing and posting unofficial response to song during the arrival of the First Lady (found on your Tittok Page),” the query said.
The college said the student’s alleged action “is a punishable offence as enshrined in the Student Handbook under standardised disciplinary action for some punishable offences No. 8, Page 21.”
