Following her comment about Nigeria being ‘hellish’ under the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari, Actress, Omotola Jalade has come under attack from a personal assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari, Bashir Ahmed.
Jalade had in a tweet decried the economic and security situation saying the “killings by uniformed men’ll make this country implode…”.
The Country Under your watch is Hellish! @ProfOsinbajo @MBuhari @NGRPresident The lack of Money in circulation,Now coupled with the Continuous Assault n Killings by Uniformed men’ll make this Country implode!!!It’s Unbearable! Do something!Insecurity!Fear n Desperation everywhere

However, Ahmed, while replying Jolade questioned her source of wealth adding that contrary to her claim, Nigeria under President Muhammadu Buhari and his Vice Yemi Osinbajo had improved economically.
Madam Omotola those who are working for CLEAN money are not complaining and will never refer our dear country as ‘hellish’. In Kano State alone, from 2015 to 2018, no fewer than 200 medium and small scale rice milling centres emerged. For that, billions circulated among millions. https://t.co/nWprKIgpLC

If Nigeria is as heavenly as some of the reactions to Omotola’s tweet suggest, who are the people running to Canada? Why is everyone, from office holders to anyone who can save up for a ticket working to have an American child? Can we at least even face our truths?

Aguda o je labe Geesi ????
I didn’t @ Omotola in my tweets. She blocked me and i blocked her back. Ko si aye apala ni London. Who has time? @Realomosexy If i meet you at a public forum, i will grab the mic and repeat what i tweeted to your hearing.— Son of David (@DrOlusesan) April 16, 2019
It’s actually sad that you constantly show naivety and lack of touch with reality just because you have a room to your self in the villa. Insinuating that Omotola, one of Nigeria’s most successful film makers makes dirty money, even for you is just too much filth for your mouth. https://t.co/y1j1OTzH4Z
