2023: Reactions As Tinubu’s Famous ‘Balablu’ Blunder Becomes Exam Question At University

The All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu’s recent gaffe ‘Balablu’ was used as an examination question for students at the Nasarawa State University.

Naija News recalls that Tinubu, during a political engagement in Imo State in 2022, made a blunder when he said a town hall, different from ‘balablu-blu-blu-bulaba.’

The gaffe became mockery words and social media jokes among many Nigerian youths online who oppose Tinubu’s presidential ambition.

However, the Mass Communication students at Nasarawa State University were asked, during an examination, to justify the social judgment theory using the popular gaffe of Bola Tinubu.

The question reads: “Using the social media trending sarcastic statement: A Townhall, Different from Bala-Blu Blu-Blu Bula-Ba’, justify social judgement theory”

This sparked reactions from many Nigerians online.
