Nigerian skitmaker, Debo Adebayo, popularly known as Mr Macaroni, has criticized Femi Gbajabiamila, Chief of Staff to President Bola Tinubu, for labeling social media as a menace.
KanyiDaily recalls that Femi Gbajabiamila called for social media regulation during a book launch in Lagos on February 8, 2024.
He expressed concerns about the spread of fake information on social media, emphasizing the need for a regulated framework to prevent misinformation.
Reacting on his Twitter page, Mr. Macaroni shared screenshots of Gbajabiamila’s old tweets from 2014, where he had criticized the government, referring to them as “Vagabond and Barbarians.”
The skitmaker pointed out the apparent hypocrisy, highlighting that social media wasn’t considered a menace when Gbajabiamila used it to express dissent.
Mr. Macaroni stated that it has become clear that Gbajabiamila and the ‘accidental and desperate government’ regard Nigerians as imbeciles.
He wrote, “Social Media wasn’t a menace when Mr Gbajabiamila used it to address the Government as Vagabonds and Barbarians in 2014.
“Today he is Chief of Staff and he suddenly realizes that Social media is a menace…. HYPOCRITICAL VAGABONDS IN POWER AND BARBARIANS AT THE GATE!!!!”.
“Mr @femigbaja, This was you when Social Media was sweeting you. It is evident that you and this accidental and desperate government of yours regard Nigerians as Imbeciles!! Well, we are not!!! The people are suffering!!! Fix up and put an end to this ridiculousness!!!!.”
