BBC Africa anchor, Waihiga Mwaura made this post about his interview with Bayo Onanuga, OON, CON. Screen 1: "I spoke to Nigerian President Tinubu's comms advisor Bayo Onanuga on #FocusOnAfrica about the recent attack in Jos (22+ deaths), why President Tinubu met the affected families only at the airport and why there have been no arrests so far." Then Dali Viq, a Kenyan, commented. Screen 2: "Terrible... Sorry Nigerians. You don't have a government and only God can literally save you. May the Almighty God rescue you and give you justice and peace." Me: As a Nigerian just listen to Onanuga and tell me if you are not ashamed that this is the best we can have as a presidential spokesman. He is not even ashamed even when telling obvious lies and so incoherent. #unmutedthepodcast #tegatalks
