There’s a clear political divide between the foremost political parties in Nigeria -APC and PDP. The GEJites (mostly PDP members) claim Goodluck Ebele Jonathan as their “hero”, while the Buharists (wholly APC members) call Buhari the “Messiah”.

There’s always a comparison between the two presidents and in most conversations, GEJ usually gets the short end of the stick. Some persons think that he is the worst Nigerian president and so cannot understand why GEJites consider him a hero. This is the background to the thread below:

Enjoy!

Left to my friend @DemolaRewaju this is what Punch should be focusing on. They should 'live' his hero alone ??? #LiveHeroAlone https://t.co/tDfaAWyrMT

So I'd thought this "Hero" thing only infuriated the anti-intelleshual section of Naija twitter.

Perhaps one can help them understand it. https://t.co/hUTo7DTs26

So I hope this Hero thing doesn't give anyone runny stomach from today.

If it does: go to the toilet, don't get angry with anybody.#End
