Hilarious Moment Student Uses TikTok Sound to Craft Sentence with “Establish” Leaves Lecturer Confused
A video capturing a Nigerian student’s ingenious yet humorous response to a classroom task has been circulating online, evoking laughter and amusement from viewers across social media platforms.
The incident unfolded when the young Nigerian, schooling abroad, was prompted by his oyinbo (foreign) lecturer to construct a sentence incorporating the word “establish.” What ensued was a moment of comedic brilliance as the student ingeniously utilized a popular TikTok sound to formulate his response.
In the video, the student, identified as @barth.m on TikTok, employed the viral ‘Esther was black and broke’ sound to fashion his sentence, declaring, “Esther was broke and black but when we married, she established.”
The clever use of the trending sound elicited laughter from his classmates, who were evidently familiar with the TikTok audio. However, the oyinbo lecturer, oblivious to the cultural reference, transcribed the sentence on the board with a puzzled expression, further amplifying the comedic effect of the situation.
The video quickly gained traction on TikTok, sparking a flurry of amusing reactions from viewers in the comments section. Many found humor in the contrast between the students’ amusement and the lecturer’s confusion, while others commended the lighthearted rapport between students and professors.
Amidst the laughter, some viewers empathized with the student’s predicament, recalling similar encounters with strict educators unwilling to accommodate unique circumstances.
The playful exchange captured in the video underscores the universal appeal of humor and camaraderie in academic settings, transcending cultural and geographical boundaries. As the video continues to circulate online, it serves as a delightful reminder of the joy that can be found in unexpected moments of levity and creativity.
