JUSTICE SERVED: TRUTH PREVAILS AS RAHAMA SAIDU'S TIKTOK CLAIMS DEBUNKED

The Truth Behind the #JusticeForRahama Hashtag: Examining the Importance of Responsibility on Social Media - Haruna Abubakar Bebeji 

Introduction:

In recent days, social media platforms in Arewa (Northern Nigeria), have been buzzing with the #JusticeForRahama hashtag. The hashtag originated from the expulsion of Rahama Saidu, a TikTok and Instagram personality, from Kebbi State College of Nursing Sciences. 

While rumors initially speculated that the college expelled her solely for posting videos on her social media accounts, it has become apparent that Rahama's expulsion was due to her failure to adhere to the college's rules and academic responsibilities. 

In light of this controversy, it is crucial for individuals, especially young girls on social media, to understand the implications of their actions and prioritize their professional development.

Examining the College's Perspective:

Kebbi State College of Nursing Sciences swiftly denied the rumors associated with Rahama's expulsion, emphasizing that she was expelled for failing her exams and refusing to comply with the option to repeat the semester. Adherence to the college's rules and regulations is essential for maintaining academic integrity and ensuring successful career paths. Students must understand that nursing education demands dedication, focus, and a commitment to the necessary coursework and clinical experience.

The Danger of Misplaced Sympathy:

To those advocating for justice for Rahama without understanding the full context, it is essential to grasp the challenges of studying nursing. The discipline requires rigorous academic preparation, clinical rotations, and continuous learning. Even pregnant students are often advised to take a leave of absence, as the demanding program necessitates their undivided attention. Rahama's behavior, as observed through her social media presence, raises doubts about her commitment to her studies. Her frequent involvement in dancing, miming, and socializing with celebrities implies a lack of focus that compromises her educational journey.

Setting the Record Straight:

The college's statement clarifies that they were unaware of Rahama's social media influence, emphasizing that her expulsion was unrelated to her TikTok presence. In light of this, accusations made against the college are baseless and seem aimed at tarnishing its reputation. It is crucial for the public to recognize that Rahama's expulsion was a result of her actions and non-compliance with the college's rules, rather than an attack on her social media activities.

Emphasizing Responsibility:

In light of this incident, it is important to convey the message to girls, especially those active on social media, that they should be mindful of their actions and professional aspirations. Rahama's expulsion highlights the need for young individuals to prioritize their studies and understand the consequences their choices may have on their future careers. It is vital to instill a sense of responsibility in our youth, emphasizing that their personal lives should not overshadow their aspirations and hard work.

Conclusion:

The recent #JusticeForRahama hashtag drew attention to the expulsion of Rahama Saidu from Kebbi State College of Nursing Sciences. However, a closer examination reveals that her expulsion was a result of her failure to comply with college rules and regulations, not her social media activities. This incident serves as a reminder to individuals, particularly young females on social media, to understand the importance of personal accountability and the impact their actions may have on their professional prospects. It is imperative to prioritize educational pursuits over transient social media fame and make decisions that align with long-term career goals.
