"This is the level we have gotten to in Nigeria. Where people think the best way to inform others about their appointment is first through social media. Such an insult. And kudos to the man for rejecting the insult. Meanwhile, what is the criteria that qualifies him to be a judge in selecting contestants in a beauty pageant? Everyone wants to connect and associate with any perceived moving train. Indeed, Common sense is actually not common."

But Akpabio, your "very good friend," has more flare for women, at least at his age we know him to be a man that cannot control his preek very well, his always on heat period, he will make a very good judge.

@murimoha

When he remembered that he would seek the votes of his constituents in 2027. Sharp, man. Distinguished from Bayelsa, want to put you in trouble with your electorates.

@betacuntri

Common sense is actually not common. Coming to Social media to inform someone about their appointment into a beauty pageant jury.
