The events that transpired during First Lady Oluremi Tinubu’s recent visit to a Delta State nursing school have angered well-known Nigerian comedian and campaigner Mr. Macaroni, whose real name is Adebowale Adedayo.
A surprising response from the students during the visit sparked debate. The event’s MC led the students in a chant that urged them to address the First Lady as “our mother.”
However, the students uniformly replied with “their mama” rather than echoing “our mama.”
The school administration took disciplinary action as a result of this response, sending the offending student a question with a 24-hour turnaround time.

Mr. Macaroni responded to the event by expressing his displeasure on social media, where he criticised the way the incident was handled and expressed his worries about the disciplinary actions that were taken.
Macaroni wrote:

@michael_ogwo: ”One thing I know about druggies and power, they hate challenge… we are slowly getting into dictatorship.”
@AdeseyePaint_56: ”Someone who can’t respect another person’s mother shows how they treat their biological mothers. Hate won’t get y’all far. Remi TInubu is our mother including all mothers in the world.”
@majorogah: ”The first lady is a mother to all Nigerians. This shameless conduct of those students is highly disrespectful. Obviously, they have proven they lack home training and respect for elders. Their mothers can never be like Senator Oluremi Tinubu.”
@Palermo_seun: ”The school authorities want to punish the students for their own failure to instill discipline. If they had done their job properly, the students would not have behaved that way. People should also be mindful of the kind of songs they sing when welcoming others.”
@AK_Obalola: ”It is evident that with the way these family is running Nigeria, they are all set to make it a one man show. You dare not talk or do anything that goes out of their will or satisfaction.”
@blockxs: ”Authority often overreacts to issues.”
@anasuachara: ”I have asked severely about the official response to “Na our mama be this oooooooo, we no get another one? Secondly, which part of the Student’s Handbook stipulates that the answer to “Our mama be this” is not “Na your mama be this”?”
@E_Chukwujindu: ”The person who initiated that song is the one that should be punishment. Why do you ask students to sing that someone else is their mother. That was a very bad song to begin with.”
