Dr. Obiageli Ezekwesili, a former Minister of Education, on Thursday, slammed Nigerian for feeling comical at what she described as laughing while tragi-comedians that COST more than N100 Billion every year
The blunt former minister used her twitter handle to take a swipe at young Nigerians for condoning, what she termed, the ‘comedies’ going on in the Senate.
The Nigerian Senate has recently been embroiled in several scandals, including an allegation that Senator Dino Melaye does not hold a first degree from Ahmadu Bello University, Zaira as claimed.
After several twists to the scandal resulting in an investigation by the Senate and a N5bn suit against Sahara reporters, ABU’s Vice Chancellor told the Senate Ethics Committee that Melaye graduated from the university with a Third Class in BA Geography.
Melaye had subsequently posted a comic video online in celebration. He also appeared at the Senate plenary dressed in an academic gown.
But, in several posts on her Twitter page, Ezekwesili wondered why Nigerians felt “entertained” by happenings in the Senate.
She twitted;

Some US Lawmakers hold a weekly advocacy for ChibokGirls. UK Parliament has held a # of Hearings on them. NASS? They're BUSY...SHARING MONEY— Oby Ezekwesili (@obyezeks) March 29, 2017
If even five out of the remaining 195 ChibokGirls were daughters of our ANNOYINGLY ENTITLED Lawmakers, do you think they'll be NONCHALANT?— Oby Ezekwesili (@obyezeks) March 29, 2017
