NURSING STUDENT WHO ‘DISRESPECTED’ TINUBU’S WIFE IN TIK TOK FAILED FINAL EXAMS
Controversial Delta State College of Nursing student, Osato Edobor, who recently stirred nationwide attention over a viral TikTok song referencing First Lady Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has reportedly failed her final year examinations, raising fresh concerns about possible academic retaliation or personal stress fallout.
Edobor’s academic status became public shortly after internal results from the Delta State College of Nursing, Agbor, were released this week. The student nurse, who had been issued a query in March 2025 for her involvement in the social media trend that used the now-viral audio clip “Na Your Mama Be This?”, was allegedly placed under disciplinary scrutiny following backlash from political quarters.
According to internal sources within the college, Osato’s results showed significant shortcomings across multiple clinical and theoretical courses, failing to meet the minimum passing requirement in key assessments. Although school authorities have not publicly linked her performance to her viral controversy, critics and student bodies are questioning whether institutional bias played a role.
The nursing student had earlier accused the college of intimidation after receiving a disciplinary memo that cited her “disrespect” to the office of the First Lady. The audio remix had featured satirical tones directed at Remi Tinubu, sparking online debate around freedom of expression, youth creativity, and political sensitivity in Nigeria.
Public reaction to her examination failure has been polarizing. While some argue that students must maintain academic focus regardless of external controversies, others say the institution failed to create a supportive environment for Osato during the turbulence that followed the song’s popularity.
Student unions and human rights advocates are now calling for an independent review into Osato’s examination process, urging the Delta State Ministry of Health and the Nursing Council of Nigeria to ensure transparency, fairness, and academic protection for all learners, regardless of their online activity.
Edobor has yet to issue an official statement, but her supporters online are rallying with the hashtag #StandWithOsato, demanding a fair re-evaluation and accusing the college of using “soft repression” to punish youth expression.
