At least actively!
It took me 2years,5 months and a damn whole lot of days to get the hang of why on earth I had to @someone or #something.
But like a true Nigerian,I'd rather die than not be part of the in-thing,no matter how dumb it might seem in retrospect!
That reminds me,do ladies still do the colour block?
Nsukka babes be like 'Baby Oku!' |
So,get the hang of it I did!
I've been tweeting away worse than the bats at the Oba of Benin's palace,re-tweeting and replying to every single thing on the twittersphere;plus the ones wey concern and the ones wey no concern me!
In the course of all these,I developed an interest in two twitter accounts,a certain @elrufai and @PObahiagbon.
They were supposedly kindred spirit!(Less of @PObahiagbon though)
Always taking every opportunity to point out the ills in this government and PDP's governance since 1999.
It was like someone else was relaying my message but to a whole lot more followers.
And I mean a whole lot more!
In fact,it's embarrassing calling mine followers.
It's more like a kindergarten class.
They're few,inattentive and really don't give a hoot what you have to say as long as you don't bother them!
In all honesty,I had a huge gigantic bowl of respect for @elrufai especially,because I thought it took an incredible amount of courage to be so critical of a government and party that his brother served and defended with so much vigour in the past.
UNTIL.....................................................................................I actually took out time to read @elrufai's bio.
I was so surprised,you could have shot me through my gaping mouth and I still would not die.
In fact,you could have dressed me in a gown,wear me a pink ribbon and offer me as a peace offering to @BokoHaram and I still would not flinch.
(Lets not get ahead of ourselves now folks!)
But still,finding out that @elrufai was one and the same with the same named politician;former this and that in the OBJ administration and ex-kingpin,king maker and as the the Nigerian press like to describe it 'part of the top echelon of the PDP'
An active actor in this maddening play we call democracy!
A man with all sorts of cases still pending from his time in government in Nigerian courts,they could name the road to the Supreme Court after him.
Rufai dey oh! |
Infact if there were an Olympics for failed governments,there would be a statue of Uncle Jonah doing the Usain Bolt pose in front of Aso Rock by now.
I'm sure you folks were really not expecting a picture |
As for @PObahiagbon,a degenerate rabble rousing ex-legislator who spews forth hokum,all in the frantic effort to garner a plethora of followers.
In simple words,a guy so full of B.S,you can smell it when he passes by.
I can't remember one meaningful thing he did while still being a member of the Nigerian House of Representatives.
Not one meaningful bill pushed through by @PObahiagbon.
Infact,in true @PObahiagbon spirit,not one meaningful thing said!
Nigeria needs men to stand up and speak the truth to this government.
But not these fellows!
