Nigerians are currently breaking Twitter, a social internet site, with #GejWhileYouWereAway, a hashtag that seeks to update immediate past President Goodluck Jonathan on the developments in the country since he left power on 29 May.
While some, who commented, went comical, some took their criticisms against current President Muhammadu Buhari, describing him as slow and spending money from the same treasury he said was dry.
Yet, others went against Jonathan reminding him of the successes achieved by Buhari so far in relation to fighting corruption and ensuring stable power supply to Nigerians.
For example, a Nigerian who goes by the Twitter handle: @Jauroboo, said: “#GejWhileYouWereAway we discovered that looting has dropped drastically; we now know that stealing is corruption.”
Tosin Bayo Yusuf, tweeting through @olutbyusuf, said: “I have saved alot on PMS (petrol) as I am yet to use my generator in 4 (four) weeks. I have bought perishables in cartons and in bulk #GejWhileYouWereAway.”
On his own, Mayowa Aderogbin with the handle: @OJ_aderogbin, said: “#GejWhileYouWereAway some of us switched to the ruling party! After all who are we not to.”
For @Misan1Icon, who wanted to be on the safer side, she quoted someone else as saying “Buhari put his sidechic as INEC acting Chairman #GEJWhileYouWereAway.”
Olugbenga Ashiru went for the National Assembly. Using the handle: @Olugbenga01, he said: “#GejWhileYouWereAway Our Senators and Reps turned to WWE Superstars and are now getting set for WWE Heavyweight championship fight.”
He also tweeted: “#GejWhileYouWereAway Osibanjo is still reporting Saraki to GMB everyday for calling him a mere commissioner.”
Speaking about the treasury which was alleged to have been dry, @yomisaint said: “#GejWhileYouWereAway The biblical verse that dead bones can rise again was fulfilled. An empty treasury springs Billions.”
Kingsley Okeke, through @DonMakata, said: “#GejWhileYouWereAway we’ve been on auto-pilot where you stopped. Baba Go Slow is still studying your handover note.”
