    "Empowering women is smart economics." She's renowned as the co-founder of the #BringBackOurGirls campaign. Now, @obyezeks is a presidential candidate in Nigeria, so our women's affairs correspondent @ony_law asked what she will do for women if she becomes president.pic.twitter.com/bPmxRLw1K1

        She failed history, if anyone should fail history then it’s obvious they won’t remember the problem. Ask Oby who created Nigeria simple question! She would answer God, that’s enough evidence she don’t understand the problem and something is wrong with her brain #OBJ

        She is a joke and would never become president. She is Igbo, Igbo’s can never be president of that country. She is a political opportunist seeking relevant, ask her why Shen is not happy on self rule? Was she not part of Obasanjo regime? What do they want again?

        Oby Ezekwesili lacks the political clout to fight the fight of removing the many treasury looters in Nigeria. She can speak her English grammar from the north to the south and from the east to the west without making any difference. She will simply be messed up by these looters.

        I have advised this woman that with the Nigeria is, she can't make an effective president. There are still many treasury looters in the Nigerian political landscape to be removed before people like her can perform. This is the job president Muhammadu Buhari is doing.

        Unfortunately she is liar and can’t be trusted in her umunna alone. Ask her simple question is obasanjo corrupt? Is obj the most corrupt person from 1999 to date? Then ask her is Buhari qualified to be a president? Did you Oby campaign for Buhari in 2015?
