A female lecturer at Nasarawa State University, Ochanya Lamai of the Mass Communication Department, has sparked mixed reactions online after gaining attention on TikTok for actively participating in viral trends with her students.

Lamai, whose TikTok username is @ochanyalamai, has attracted over 19,700 followers on her account.

Her content, which humorously captures life in a higher institution, has become a source of entertainment for many users on the platform.

The self-acclaimed “Mummy Gen-Z” identifies as a content creator, music enthusiast, broadcaster, entrepreneur, and lecturer. Her vibrant presence online and close rapport with students have earned her both admiration and criticism.

While many praise her for bringing joy to netizens and breaking the stereotype of the conventional Nigerian lecturer, others have criticised her for what they see as a deviation from academic decorum.

Despite the mixed reactions, Lamai continues to receive overwhelming support from Nigerians on TikTok, who admire her unmatched energy and her ability to use social media creatively to inform, educate, and entertain.

In one of her videos, she subtly addressed critics who questioned her decision to become a content creator.

Rather than offering a lengthy explanation, she responded with a playful lip-sync to Afrobeat artist Ruger’s hit single Giveaway, showing she is unbothered and fully embracing her unique style,

“I am obsessed, I am so in love with myself.

I dey burst my own brain, still impressed with myself.
