Mrs Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Minister for Finance suffered a
public attack on social network site, Twitter this afternoon after she
responded to harsh remarks made at her. Okonjo-Iweala’s twitter handle,
@NOIweala was barraged by users after she allegedly tweeted in response to
@OccupyNaija. @OccupyNaija tweeted at the two-time Finance Minister in response
to claims that House of Representative members walked out on her during an
interactive session Thursday.
The report that the House of Representative members walked
out on Okonjo-Iweala, is a report she claims is false. @OccupyNaija read “I
hope you’ll honourably resign from that office you hold than embarrassing your
person in the international world.”
Okonjo-Iweala’s response was “Thanks but you should resign
from Occupy you nattering nabob of negativism.”
But her response did not go down well with many as she
suffered attack after attack on Twitter.
@Akin_Official tweeted that he was disappointed she was a
minister. “Really disappointed in u being a minister” and her response to him
was “no problem get another one am not only one capable of serving.”
Okonjo-Iweala’s responses also raised questions of her temperament. @TempXXL
tweeted “Is this anger?” and she promptly responded that it was “no just
fairness.”
If Okonjo-Iweala thought her response were in fairness she
was in for a surprise as @OccupyNaija who started it tweeted again. “When you
get results of your careless utterance on Twitter, I hope 1 day, you’ll get it
on the streets where it really matters.”
But there was more from others who felt exasperated by her
tweet. @AFOketunji tweeted, “she is just talking anyhow.” while @KrissyPearlie
wrote “Wow. #TwitterBrawlAlert All we really want is respectable, transparent
& accountable public officers o,” tweeted.
There were claims that Okonjo-Iweala did not post the tweet
claiming that perhaps her account was hacked but that claim was quickly
punctured. @Solar_unique “What are you now trying to say sir? Her acct was
hacked? Her PR guys goofed? @NOIweala” definitely one of d 2.”
Okonjo-Iweala got some respite from Obiageli Ezekwesili,
former Minister of Education who tweeted on her account @obyezeks account. “I
would bet any day that SHE did not post that tweet.) @NOIweala @OccupyNaija,”
she tweeted.
