@OsinachiNuel said:

“Nigerian politicians are notorious for their unruly behavior in their own country, abuse of power and disrespectful treatment of citizens. But once they leave the country, they suddenly become humble and docile, realizing that they are now in a system where laws work and actions have real consequences. “

@ibirogba2000 said:

“Most of the people who are always critical of the president are worse than people in government. Many people behave hypocritically when they no longer have a government. Give them little power and they will become a demigod, and worse. I don’t let anyone bully me. “

@ndidi_patricia said:

“Justice must be served. Alex is a tyrant and should be fired.” Their slogan is always. Do you know who I am? Lo. ? Smm nonsense.”

@OlisaNwosu said:

“The guy’s calmness in the face of this belittling is something that Lawyer, who threw things at his wife, could have pulled off. Calm in the midst of total provocation is a superpower.”
