sunie29683 commented:
"His outfit is cool, and his tactics works, “grab attention at all cost” and he got y’all talking. I get it, Data boys will say anything that will please their pay master."
lukeeseosa commented:
"Everything na just politics for Nigeria.... Dressing fine is now an offense. APC, who do una this one."
ABBA_NDOS said:
"An African mentality is thinking that kindness or good leadership is defined by dressing. Does wearing agbada stop anyone from stealing? Yet, we still judge leadership by appearance. It’s unfortunate that someone at 60 years old is still doing “data boy” work. I am sorry for Nigeria."
dremo_dree reacted:
"Every legal mine once a time was illegal money …. They all know themselves and what to do to make the country better. Both APC, pdp, ADC are all one because you can switch to any party if ur choice anytime . Nigeria political parties is just a club for the billionaires not for helping the country and citizens."
CComhan commented:
"They react quickly to Dino’s outfit, but will take decades to react to bandits attacks on citizens. Pot calling kettle black."
