Netizens have reacted angrily to Ondo State’s immediate past first lady, Mrs Betty Akeredolu, for describing Nigeria as a zoo.
She described Nigeria to be “a zoo country that is beyond redemption”.
Taking to her X handle, Mrs Akeredolu, a PhD holder, shared: “Just thinking. 2023 Nigerian Presidential Election Total Votes Cast: 25 million Counting Duration: 5 days.
“2024 U.S Presidential Election Total Votes Cast: 155 million Counting Duration: Approximately 10 hours.
“Moral: When dishonesty is prioritised, simple things become difficult”.
Although the post elicited diverse responses from netizens, a particular comment from one Paulexy with the handle @paul_oza, caught her attention.
According to him, “Truth is indeed bitter. I can understand the attacks on her. We are doomed in this country Nigeria”.
Replying to the comment, the widow of the former governor wrote: “Very bitter indeed! Who will rescue Nigeria? What a zoo country”.
However, the reference to Nigeria as a zoo country did not go down well with many responders who heavily bashed the former First Lady.
She was described as a tribalistic bigot among other derogatory names.
