    #Nigeria's Information Minister, Lai Mohammed, told us schools in the north-east will have armed guards. He also explains the temporary ceasefire deal struck with #Boko Haram, which allowed fighters to return the girls to #Dapchi.pic.twitter.com/4ZMyB0VIkl

        Lai Mohammed must be made to enlist in and graduate from the School of Truthfulness before resuming his ministerial duties. We need to salvage him from himself and the torrents of his lies.

        Lai Mohammed is a fool. He is a disgrace to Nigeria. When you hear Lai Mohammed speak, you will know why Nigeria is not moving forward.

        Lai Mo said this, Lai Mo said that...Enough of this lying tongues. We stopped believing almost EVERYTHING this man says since 2014-15, following his inglorious verbal concoctions-along side his principals, leading to the 2015 general elections & beyond. #DapchiGirls #BH

        Why are Nigerian politician's girls not abducted? Lia should explain that! Hope 'Liar' won't lie over it.
