The comedienne took to her Instagram on November 4, 2021, to pen a long note defending their reason for the visit to the VP.

“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,” she wrote.

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.”

She also added that Police brutality continues despite the #EndSARs protests of 2020.

“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,” she added.

“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 ✊”

Her explanation did not seem to hit its mark as more Nigerians continued to flay her and her colleagues in the comments.

The visit to the Aso Villa by humour merchants On November 4, 2021, under the auspices of the Nigeria Skits Industry Awards (NSIA), was led by Bimbo Daramola, its convener.

Popular comedian Adebowale Adedayo better known as Mr Macaroni was curiously missing from the visiting group. Macaroni who doubles as an activist has been very critical of the Nigerian government, openly condemning their actions and joining in several protests.
