Taaooma Reacts To The Backlash She Received For Visiting Vice President Yemi Osinbajo

Greene-Apaokagi 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!!! #ENDSARS#ENDPOLICEBRUTALITY#LIFTTWITTERBAN
