MrBen @ifeanyieneje: “SO YOU CAN JUMP OUT AND DO THIS WORK. BUT REMINED SILENT TO THE CONTINUIG ORGANISED HATRED AGAINST IGBOS THAT SHE COULD NOT TAKE ANYMORE. LET US SEE where this govt will get to with this.”

CBN Gov Akinsola Akin @cbngov_akin1 said: “Dear Amaka Patience Sunnberger, as the Deputy HEAD of Evancuation….I will be waiting to receive you at the airport.

“Go and ask…..I was part of the team that welcomed evacuees from UK, US, China, Kenya, France, Spain, Egypt, Canada, South Africa, Ghana, Ukraine, Sudan, Italy, Libya, Lebanon etc during the War and Covid19.

“Experience dey….so I go treat u well….even if u be like Pidom “Nobody can catch Brezee” we go catch u,” CBN Gov Akinsola Akin said.

Olanrewaju @DivinelyAided said: “Good. The Police should also invite everyone on that TikTok live. @PeterObi I hope you have seen this.”

Lord of Nigeria @Lord_of_Nigeria said: “You people are ridiculous. Is it not in this same Nigeria that a Yoruba oba said that igbos should be thrown into the lagoon? The Oba is still in office and an active APC fan boy.”

“How has what Amaka said differ? You are all driven by hate,” Lord of Nigeria said.

Adesina Adeniji-Adele @adesina_adele said: “Wow. Quick response. Thanks and we’ll done ma.”

King. Imas @papiJayIvieDenz said: “the hate is unprecedented from all sides, it’s a spill over from the last election in Nigeria, mostly in Lagos that ppl where denied access to exercise their civil duties, y’all planted this seed that has spread to Europe, America. and ediotttts are toiling that same line now.”|

khalifa @khalifaoyin said: “funny and sad thing about these people is if she gets deported to nigeria, there’s more likelihood she will settle in yoruba land amongst the people she hates and wants to poison than return to the southeast where her kinsmen are. these guys really have mental problems.”

PATO PATO @peculiarpat1 said: “I am against bigotry and hate. I see people who do it as suffering from self hate. However, based on my experience on this app in the last 2 years, I can say with all sense of responsibility that it cuts across different tribes in Nigeria. I have seen some Igbos and Yorubas tweet in a way that made me feel so embarrassed.

“I only hope you will be prompt to do the same when Igbos are the target,” PATO PATO said.
