"Sorry, but I do not see an atom of mockery. All I see is a message being passed."
Amaka Agbara said:
"Please, where is the mockery here? Somebody that just stated a fact."
Oyela opined that:
"Thank God for Tinubu, that lets us understand that Education is a fraud and a waste of time in Nigeria before you hold public office. That doesn’t mean you can be a Nigerian before you become a Nigerian president."

"Atiku just won the case to release the Chicago certificate; what’s your thought on that leave, Peter."
Sultan said:
"We’ve heard him loud and clear, but he will never be Nigeria’s President, he should thank God for life; this time last year, did he think he would be this popular?"
