House Speaker, Mr. Femi Gbajabiamila, sounded more than a tad arrogant today, wouldn't you say? "I warn you not to test the resolve of this House. Otherwise, you would regret it." Not your best practices example of parliamentary language. @femigbaja

Not true! You cannot have fought so hard to become our president, only to pass your responsibility on to God. There is need for right thinking, hard work and honesty in governance. @MBuhari @FemAdesina #NigeriaDeservesBetter

Great that you said "posing". Those who burn down police stations can't be #EndSARS protesters - who come with trash bags to pick up after themselves! Please ask the politicians; they should know a thing or two about this. It's their stock in trade. #EndPoliceBrutalityinNigera

If the new Ikeja Bus Terminal had to be commissioned, the Ikeja LG Chairman could easily do it. But the president! Just like magistrates gathered in Yaba to commission an inverter! Let's stop this farce, for God's sake, and settle down to serious work. @followlasg #Productivity

Despite the short delay in the arrival of INEC officials and materials, the voting has been going on peacefully. Hope it's the same all over. #NigerianElections2023 @inecnigeria

#Tinubu 's avowed reason for running is merely to fulfill a "lifelong ambition". There wasn't a word about serving the people. That's instructive. #WiseUpNigeria !

Please, @inecnigeria , the Osun State election is over. Kindly re-enable access on your website for Osun residents. I know people who wish to change some of their data (e.g. residency) but have been unable to do so for months. Thank you.

After @obyezeks withdraws from #NigeriaDecides2019 , many people are scoffing & mocking, certain her intentions weren't honest from the start. Yet, we find it easy to trust & believe people who have proven their dishonesty, corruption, incompetence, nepotism, etc! #StrangeWorld

Racket at the entrance of @nassnigeria ! The men at the police post collect ID cards from drivers, saying they'll be returned when exiting. They demand money before releasing the cards! Just happened to us. ID card still with police. What's the offence? #Corruption @PoliceNG

Why has INEC refused to reactivate its website for #Ekiti and #Osun voter's card holders? This amounts to disenfranchisement for those who have been waiting for months to transfer their records. Unacceptable. @inecnigeria @nassnigeria

Do you have to add "as directed by @MBuhari "? The police can't do their work unless "directed"; almost everyone in this admin has to wait until "directed" before they move! And when the President himself acts, he does so "graciously"! What are people paid to do?!!! @abikedabiri
