- Nigerian comedian, AY Makun, seems to have gotten on the wrong side of Twitter users

- A Twitter user had called out the funny man and accused him of kissing the feet of politicians and never speaking against them because they attend his shows and listen to his dry jokes

- AY responded that most of the people who pay for his shows are not politicians and that people pay as much as N5 million to hear his so called dry jokes

It goes without saying that the streets of Twitter is a jungle out there. Time has shown that nobody is too important to be dragged and that Nigerians with bad mouths will humble anybody on the microblogging site.

The social application, just like most social media apps, has helped bridged the gap between people as they are free to share their candid opinion without meeting face to face.
