Osato Edobor, a nursing student at Delta State College of Nursing, has reportedly failed her final year examinations. Edobor recently gained widespread attention for a viral TikTok video referencing First Lady Senator Oluremi Tinubu. The student's academic status has sparked debate about potential academic retaliation or personal stress.
In March 2025, Edobor was issued a query for her involvement in the viral TikTok trend, which sparked controversy and backlash from political quarters. The student nurse accused the college of intimidation after receiving a disciplinary memo citing her "disrespect" to the office of the First Lady.
According to internal sources, Edobor's results showed significant shortcomings across multiple clinical and theoretical courses. While school authorities have not publicly linked her performance to the controversy, critics and student bodies are questioning whether institutional bias played a role.
The public reaction to Edobor's examination failure has been polarizing, with some arguing that students must maintain academic focus regardless of external controversies. Others say the institution failed to create a supportive environment for Edobor during the turbulence that followed the song's popularity.
Student unions and human rights advocates are calling for an independent review into Edobor'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.
Edobor's 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.
