Nigeria, the so-called giant of Africa, is one funny country where political office holders ignore real issues of the citizens welfare, economic development and good governance to chase shadow all in a bid to be in the President's good book, newsmen has observed.
How else can we explain the latest ranting of the woman in charge of social development?
The Special Adviser to the President on Special Duties and Social Development Matters, Mrs Sarah Pane said that Nigerians are using the social media negatively and that such is impacting negatively on the country’s image.
According to her, denigrating Nigerian leaders through the medium has become a pastime of the youths to the extent that the Nigerian President has become the most insulted in the world. "This is not the type of record we want.
Let’s use the social media for positive interaction”, she stressed.
She was speaking at the Discovery Empowerment Programme for NYSC that took place on Wednesday at Alexis Hotel, Jabi, Abuja which had in attendance more than 200 members.
Unfortunately, newsmen observed that Mrs Sarah Pane couldn't tell the youths how the government that is paying the salaries and allowances of she and other political office holders with almost over 50% of the National Budget intends to kill corruption and bridge the widening disparity between those in government and millions of Nigerians outside government.
