You may have seen the hashtag; Bola Tinubu University, trending on social media for days now and you cannot help but wonder why?
Well, search no further, we got you covered.
Fasten your seatbelt, grab yourself a bottle of something chill as we offload the gist in detail.
This fresh episode of drama started on Thursday.
As Nigerians struggled with the biting hardship, members of the House of Representatives passed a bill to establish the Bola Ahmed Tinubu Federal University of Nigerian Languages.
The bill, sponsored by the Deputy Speaker, Benjamin Kalu, and eight others, is aimed at establishing a university for the promotion of the learning of Nigerian languages.
Part of Section II part I of the bill reveals that the university when established shall, “encourage the advancement of learning and to hold out to all persons without distinction of race, creed, sex or political conviction, the opportunity of acquiring a higher education in Nigerian languages and cultures.”
This proposal certainly did not settle well with many Nigerians.
To many, giving an hungry man a school is not only a waste of time, but also resources.
The internet has been boiling with reactions from every corner.
Nigerians React

Effiong described the proposal as a sycophancy, saying it is a problem in the country.
Speaking via his X handle, he said: “Some members of the House of Representatives have introduced a Bill to establish a “Bola Tinubu University”.
“The same Bola Tinubu whose educational background is shrouded in controversy.
What has Tinubu done to revamp Nigeria’s educational system?
“Sycophancy is a problem in this country.”
