I very much doubt a federal government would appeal officially for aid through Twitter. I'm sure the government is saying the truth. Due process wasn't followed. One should, therefore, disregard the request as coming from the government

When Amaechi said Nigeria is going nowhere, you guys thought he was joking abi.

Rubbish, how can one be proud of this nation, like are such people not mad...! !
