"But did she lie? No!"

"Indeed, we can see that our senator is the problem😀. Our senator said you are AI."

User @1OftenWonderWhy commented:

"She's 💯% correct. She didn't steal "our resources", Oshiomole took it and gave it to her. She's a 'service provider'. Nigerians should leave her alone and face the corrupt men doing these to their 'resources.' This is what we excel at: misdirected actions!"

User @SholaDemo said:

"As for Adams Oshiomole, nobody cares, it's your private life and it's your money, baba. But not as a senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, where the poverty level is at the peak, if you so fancy this lifestyle, kindly resign and follow your dream."
