Rema reacts as UNILAG tries to plead with him over ASUU Strike
The University of Lagos(UNILAG) has sent a message to singer Rema not to allow anyone to influence him towards changing his mind about the admission the school granted to him.
Rema has resorted to social media to express his dissatisfaction with his inability to resume since being admitted to UNILAG due to the Academic Staff Union of Universities’ strike action.
He tweeted in Pidgin English, “ASUU, since dem give me admission I neva start school o, e don do nau!”
His post was seen by a private school, Bowen University, which pointed out one of the benefits he would enjoy if he schooled with them.
“ASUU can’t delay you if you’re enrolled in Bowen University,” the school said.
In response, Rema called UNILAG’s attention to the tweet by Bowen, saying, “Unilag private university don dey Toast me o, I’m blushing omg stop it.”
