The Delta State College of Nursing Sciences, Agbor, faced criticism after issuing a disciplinary query to Osato Edobor over a viral social media post. During First Lady Remi Tinubu’s visit, students were expected to chant in support, but some altered the lyrics to “Na your mama be this oo ehh…” instead of “Na our mama be this o, we no get another one.” The video spread on TikTok, prompting the school to accuse Edobor of unauthorized recording and demand an explanation within 24 hours.

Former Delta State University vice chancellor, Professor Andy Egwuyenga, called the query unnecessary. “Querying a student over this is unreasonable. Students are expressive, and this is not an insult,” he said. Human rights activist Omoyele Sowore condemned the move as intimidation. “She did nothing wrong, and we will support her,” he stated. Lawyer Deji Adeyanju warned of protests if the school didn’t retract the query. “This is an attack on free speech. They must withdraw it,” he said.

Amid backlash, Delta State Commissioner for Health, Dr. Joseph Onojaeme, intervened. “I have directed the provost to withdraw the letter. We do not intend to victimize any student,” he announced. In a video, he confirmed Edobor informed him the letter had been rescinded. “Everything is calm now. No one is being punished,” he reassured.

The incident highlights issues of freedom of expression in schools. The quick escalation due to social media forced authorities to reconsider their actions. While the query was withdrawn, the debate continues on how institutions should handle student expression. You can click the button below for more news.
