Students from Delta State School of Nursing, Agbor, are making headlines on social media for refusing to follow a song that was played when Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Remi Tinubu, visited the school.
The president’s wife reportedly traveled to Delta State on Tuesday to promote free treatment programs for the nation’s HIV/AIDS patients.
Reminiscent of the effects of HIV/AIDS, particularly on youth, Remi Tinubu spoke to the Delta State Traditional Rulers Council in Asaba and urged
traditional leaders to promote and raise awareness of health issues, such as the abolition of female genital mutilation.
Before the speech, a video that has gone viral on the internet captures the Master of Ceremony (MC) using a song to declare the First Lady the mother of the country.
But instead of accepting the proclamation, the students called the first lady the mother of the MC.
Remi Tinubu, in the meantime, has assured people that better times are coming and expressed her absolute conviction that the nation is moving closer to complete recovery.
Senator Tinubu reportedly underlined the government’s resolve to address national issues and improve the welfare of Nigerians at an Iftar assembly held at the State House in Abuja.

The First Lady recognized in a statement sent by her media adviser, Busola Kukoyi, that although the road to recovery must be paved with patience, tremendous strides have already been made.
Compassion and mercy in human relationships were the main topics of the event, which brought together notable women from all around the country, including the vice president’s wife, former First Lady Dame Patience Jonathan, wives of state governors, female ministers, and wives of service leaders.
The Iftar lecture was given by Professor Azeezat Adebayo, head of the Islamic Studies Department at the University of Ilorin, who emphasized the value of kindness and compassion in building solid human bonds.
According to her, Ramadan encourages people to be kind to others regardless of their social or religious beliefs.
