    Deji Adeyanju’s Arrest Got Social Media Talking but Not as Much as the Massacre of Over 100 Troops by Boko Haram

    Deji Adeyanju’s Arrest Got Social Media Talking but Not as Much as the Massacre of Over 100 Troops by Boko Haram

    Another week has ended with lots of social media trends we can’t stop talking about. Lets get down to the ones that shook the whole of social media especially the arrest of Deji Adeyanju for leading a protest in Abuja.

    Weeks after President Buhari issued a warning about minding what people post on social media, it seems the crackdown has started. During the week, the Nigerian police arrested Deji Adeyanju while leading a protest in Abuja and hours later, arraigned him in court for criminal defamation and breach of public peace.

    Deji, Convener of Concerned Nigerians, has been arrested by the officers of Nigeria Police Force while leading a protest tagged ‘Police Are Not Politicians…https://t.co/Fzb5CrZ35j pic.twitter.com/pHNTvo9oBq

    — AnalyticBlog.com (@UUN_Official) November 30, 2018

    A section of Nigerian Tweeps saw it as impunity of government against a perceived opposition and took to their social media to react about his arrest.

    — political Prince (@MohTahir_) November 30, 2018

    The presidential candidate of the Allied Congress Party of Nigeria (ACPN) Oby Ezekwesili, also condemned Deji’s arrest as well as the arrest of other protesters in strong terms and issued and ultimatum to the police for their release.

    If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality.#FreeDejiNow#FreeDejiAdeyanju pic.twitter.com/JJ68VQPEkJ

    It was one of the most talked about trends during the week and for hours, the #FreeDejiNow hashtag trended.

    President Muhammadu Buhari  Visits injured Soldiers in Maiduguri

    BREAKING: Buhari Arrives In Borno For Post-Boko Haram Attack Visit | Sahara Reporters

    The President is expected to attend the Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Annual Conference holding in Maiduguri on Wednesday, and will declare the event open.

    — Sahara Reporters (@SaharaReporters) November 28, 2018

    Buhari‘s visit comes after a brutal attack by Boko Haram terrorists against men of the Nigerian Army in Metele, Borno State. The attack resulted in the death of over 100 soldiers.

    Nigerians then took to social media to express their disgust and anger over the attack.

    Thats how #FreeDejiNow and #FreeDejiAdeyanju is trending above their Maiduguri paid trend for Buhari and his hypocritical visit to Maiduguri
    Typical self injurious nature of this govt!@PoliceNG thank you for helping us make @adeyanjudeji popular and trending pic.twitter.com/iHKKirASR9

    — AnthonyEhilebo (@AnthonyEhilebo) November 28, 2018

    Some people went on to compare Buhari’s visit to that of former president Goodluck Jonathan’s after a similar tragedy during his time.

    Jubiliation As President Buhari Reduces The Cost Of JAMB and NECO Fees

    President Muhammadu Buhari, during the week approved a reduction in the cost of JAMB and sundry forms. JAMB UTME form will now cost N3,500 instead of N5,000, while NECO form will drop from N11,350, to N9,850.

    PRESIDENT BUHARI APPROVES REDUCTION IN JAMB , NECO FEES https://t.co/IMGtVJLek1 pic.twitter.com/WYXHZZFKNt

    — Gist With Joy (@GistWith) November 30, 2018

    The Minister of Education announced the decision after the weekly Federal Executive Council, FEC, meeting. Even with such welcome announcement some Nigerians were still not happy. They quickly took to social media to tackle the development, using ASUU’s ongoing strike as a reference point.

    ASUU is still on strike😪. Leaders of tomorrow at home playing PS.

    Tomorrow, youth would be unemployable and you'll cry foul.

    Keep jumping about NECO and JAMB fee reductions.

    We no longer value good education in Nigeria, sadly.

    — Hamzat B. Lawal {Etim} 🇳🇬 (@HamzyCODE) November 30, 2018

    People shouldn’t celebrate too loudly yet because the reductions won’t be in effect till January 2019. Until Nigerians actually start purchasing the forms at the reduced prices, let’s keep those fingers crossed.
