Rema
The University of Lagos has responded to pleas from popular Nigerian singer, Divine Ikubor, popularly known as Rema, as the latter complained about the ongoing strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities.
Via its official handle, the institution said it has chosen Rema, advising the singer not to change his mind about this choice of school.
Taking a cue from one of Rema’s song, UNILAG tweeted, “Hmm\u2026 Rema dear, UNILAG has chosen you o. Hmm\u2026 so don\u2019t let anybody come dey change your mind o. Rema no dey vex for us o.”
In his response, Rema said, “Awww UNILAG, end the strike or I will go ooo. we want to go back to school. Please, the youths are not happy!”<\/p>\n

Using lyrics from Rema’s hit song ‘Calm Down’, UNILAG responded, “Rema, calm down.”
Shortly after UNILAG’s tweet, Bowen University which had earlier wooed the singer to join the institution also responded to Rema’s latest tweet, saying, “Every Nigerian youth deserves true happiness and most importantly, value for their time. Choose value and happiness today, don\u2019t let them tell you otherwise. You are loved.”<\/p>\n
