Bruce Wayne reacted:

"I rarely hear from IBB or Gowon, Jonathan, but OBJ, despite ruling as a General and Democrat, 88 years, you’d expect him to be playing ludo in his mansion or monitoring his livestock. He is still writing books criticizing a government that has its audience. Main character syndrome."

"Some of the most powerful people in this country are from the same tribe speaking Yoruba, but some of you don’t even want your kids to speak Yoruba at all lol. I’ve also seen this amongst Hausa politicians too, when they are in a gathering, they mostly communicate in the Hausa language."

Omo Yoruba wrote:

"Due to past differences, a lot of people will tightly assume these two great titans are enemies but when you look deeper, you'd realize that there is love in there H8."
