Maryam, A.k.a Taaooma, has replied after being chastised online for paying a
visit to Nigerian Vice President Yemi Osinbajo.
Some of the country's most popular online comedians, including Josh2funny, were said to have paid a visit to VP Osinbajo, which enraged a number of social media users who questioned why comedians, who are supposed to speak truth to power, are dining with politicians.
Taaooma has now
responded to the criticisms, claiming that she spoke with the Vice President
and urged him to lift the Twitter ban, as well as bringing up the issue of
police brutality. See what she wrote below;
Yesterday, I had the
chance of meeting with the VP of the federation at the Presidential villa,
Abuja.
I urged for the
“actual” lifting of the Twitter ban and as well, stressed on the issue of
police brutality which hasn’t gotten any bit of change even after all the
promises.
I made the presidency
understand how important Twitter is for the majority of us (the youths). The
SMEs and the very plenty others who make a living via that platform.
The Twitter ban has
made so many small scale business crash and disrupted many.
I also made it known
to the VP that Police brutality hasn’t stopped and we the youths seem to be the
target of that institution. #Endsars was not just to end SARS alone, it was to
end all forms of police brutality and irresponsibility.
I hope the assurances
I got yesterday will take effect immediately.
However guys, we must
know that we the youth make 70% of the population and we have the future in our
hands. The next step now is to GET YOUR PVC!!!
