Some Nigerians could not hide their displeasure on Tuesday when news went round that President Muhammadu Buhari’s daughter-in-law Zahra Bayero Buhari has graduated with First Class honors in Architectural Science from a university in United Kingdom.
Zahra Bayero is married to President Buhari’s son, Yusuf Buhari.
Sharing the news via her social media platforms, First Lady of Nigeria, Aisha Buhari, wrote;
“Congratulations to Mrs. Zahra B Buhari on your graduation with First Class Honors in Architectural Science.
This news comes up amid the lingering strike action by the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU. Nigerian students have been at home for over 7 months not knowing when the strike will be called off.
The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) yesterday staged a protest at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos, to protest against the prolonged strike action by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).
Nigerians on social media reacted to the news by sharing their thoughts. Find some of them below:

Patience Nnedinsọ Eze – Congratulations to her but, you should not have shared this on social media… It is insensitive to the plight of many Nigerians who are at home and whose children are currently not in school because of ASUU Strike.
Frankline Madichie – Your husband has achieved everything failure can offer, name them… The name Buhari will forever be remembered as the worst thing that happened to Nigeria. After destroying Nigerian universities with his leadership incompetence, you sent your children to foreign schools and posting their graduation on social media to mock other peoples children who as a result of ASUU have spent over seven months at home and still counting without lectures, on the day the airport was shut down by the youths for the same reasons. Where is ur conscience? Continue celebrating your daughter’s graduation abroad, nemesis will soon catch up with all of you.
Chiemeka Akwarandu – Insensitive personified, Wickedness Engraved Boldly.
Akata Victor – Congratulations to Zahra While Nigerian Students are wasting away for Six months and counting. I wish, for a second, that our leaders were humane and considerate sometimes.
I wish, really!
Dimbo Atiya – This is insensitive because there are millions of other children at home because of your husband’s incompetence. Let’s call a spade a spade.

Aminu Ibrahim Kunya – This is part of Baba highest achievement. Congratulations to the children of politicians and elite. Education is no longer fundamental human right in Nigeria.
Oguzor Offia-Nwali JP – The children like your daughter are at home in the country that your husband is president over ASUU strike, weldone..
Emenike Emmanuel – Will this stop you all from voting APC in 2023? If you complain here and still go ahead to vote for APC in 2023, you are more insensitive than the person you are accusing of insensitivity. If you are too angry to a fault, vote out the party that kept you at home for 6 months and counting. Don’t just come here to !nsult the first family and do nothing. Even the first family wouldn’t want you to make any mistake in the next general election.
Yahya Ahmad Funtua – May Buhari and his likes never happened to us again!😭
And congratulations!
