Fifteen nursing students at Madonna University in Rivers State, Nigeria, have apologized for a TikTok video that caused disciplinary action against them, according to a letter dated November 2, 2026. They filmed a video captioned "No Sick oo Na Gen Z full hospital" while dancing in various locations, including a hospital waiting area and staircase.
The students admitted that the video brought disrepute to the nursing profession and university community. The controversial video sparked criticism and prompted the university to expel one student and suspend the remaining 14. Student groups and rights organizations, including the National Association of Nigerian Students, the Nigerian Universities Nursing Students' Association, and Amnesty International, appealed for leniency, arguing that the sanctions were disproportionate and could have lasting consequences for the students' academic and professional futures.
In their appeal to the university management, the students expressed genuine remorse and pledged to continue their academic journey.
