"Social Media Is A Very Big Problem For This Country" - Garba Shehu Laments

"Social Media Is A Very Big Problem For This Country" - Garba Shehu Laments

Mr. Garba Shehu, President Muhammadu Buhari's Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, has restated his displeasure with the negative influence that social media has on governance in the country.

He disclosed this on Sunday, April 1, 2018, that Nigerians has failed to give President Buhari enough commendation for his good job because social media tends to view everything negatively. 

The presidential spokesperson also condemned reports that the President is shielding killer herdsmen from the law, arguing that it'll take more than the President to achieve such a feat.

 "I hope you also realise that the social media has brought a lot of good things to the world and it has also brought a lot of problems not only in Nigeria but everywhere in the world.

"Nations of the world are talking about regulations and control, this is happening in Germany in the United Kingdom even the United States you see that a lot these technology companies are being fined for infringements that they cause.

"The thing is that there is a tendency to see things from a negative point of view when your point of view is shaped and colored by the social media.

"It's always been heard that the default position of the social media itself is to be negative, so people have turned out to ignore grand reality and project images that are very negative.

"Otherwise I wonder, this is an administration that has done so extremely well and to a president who has sworn to an oath to defend the constitution and protect every life and property, it is very unfair and uncharitable to say that he will shield anybody, and in any case, the president controls only one layer of authority, what are the governors doing, is the social media also saying that the governors are protecting the herdsmen from the law, are they saying the local government are also protecting them?

"You see it has to take everyone at various levels of authority to shield somebody from the law in those circumstances, and the president himself, his passion is for the country, this is a president whose passion is not even for the office, even when everyone is asking him to go for a second term he is keeping quiet because his focus remains the nation and the problem of the country."

Femi Fani-Kayode

Controversial ex-minister of aviation, Mr. Femi Fani-Kayode has reacted to reports of a Yoruba Oba, the Oluwo of Iwoland converting to an 'Emir'.

Oba Abdulrasheed Akanbi

The Monarch, Oba Abdulrasheed Akanbi, the Oluwo of Iwo, was reported recently to have declared himself the first and only 'Emir of Yorubaland', stating that the reason for his decision was that traditional rulers or 'Obas' in the South-West were always fighting with each other.

A lot of stakeholders in the South-West did not take such declaration lightly as one and controversial public affairs commentator, Mr Femi Fani-Kayode has reacted according to what he shared online via his Twitter handle:

"This is Oba Abdulrasheed Akanbi, the Oluwo of Iwo who now insists that he must be called the Emir of Yorubaland."

"He is a gutless and treacherous bastard who is an Islamofascist and who has sold his people to the Fulani raiders."

"May God curse the day that he was born."
