First Lady's Visit Sparks Buzz: Students React To Anthem At Delta State School

Students Make Waves: A Bold Stand at First Lady's Visit

Listen up, folks. The students at the Delta State School of Nursing in Agbor are making headlines for all the right reasons—or maybe not so much. Recently, they made waves on social media after refusing to go along with a song used to welcome Nigeria's First Lady, Senator Remi Tinubu, during her visit to their institution. Talk about standing your ground!

First Lady Champions Health Awareness

Naija News has the scoop: the wife of the President swung by Delta State on Tuesday with a mission. She wasn’t just stopping by for tea; she was advocating for free treatment programs for HIV/AIDS patients across the nation. In a powerful address to the Delta State Traditional Rulers Council in Asaba, Remi Tinubu laid it all out. She emphasized the devastating impact of HIV/AIDS, especially among the younger generation. But here’s the kicker—she also called on traditional rulers to step up and help spread awareness about health issues, including the fight against female genital mutilation.

The Anthem Controversy

Now, let’s rewind a bit. Before the First Lady took the stage, a video circulating online captured the moment when the Master of Ceremony (MC) referred to Remi Tinubu as the "mother of the nation" during a song. But guess what? The students weren’t having it. Instead, they politely referred to the First Lady as the MC’s mother. Talk about keeping it real, right? Here’s the video that’s got everyone buzzing:

Meanwhile, Remi Tinubu isn’t holding back. She’s spreading a message of hope and resilience, assuring Nigerians that brighter days are ahead. During an Iftar gathering at the State House in Abuja, the First Lady emphasized the government’s unwavering commitment to tackling national challenges and improving the lives of all Nigerians. According to a statement from her media aide, Busola Kukoyi, while progress takes time, significant strides are already being made.

A Night of Compassion and Unity

This special event brought together some of the most influential women in the country, including former First Lady Dame Patience Jonathan, the wife of the Vice President, the wives of state governors, female ministers, and the wives of service chiefs. The theme of the evening? Compassion and mercy in human relationships. And who better to deliver the Iftar lecture than Professor Azeezat Adebayo, the Head of the Islamic Studies Department at the University of Ilorin? She reminded everyone that Ramadan is not just about fasting—it’s about introspection and extending kindness beyond religious or social boundaries. It’s about connecting as humans, plain and simple.
