"It has to be post dated to a weekday/business day for it to be legal. Signed on Saturday but will take effect from 9 Monday."

Jibowu with the Twitter handle @Hassanfiriyoyo added:

"Check the date of the registration. Everything is wrong in Nigeria."

@Softcut_wears commented:

"Can someone look at the date of registration? It shows they are all liars."
