Deputy Speaker, Wasiu Sanni's Daughter Replied A Twitter User Who Asked If She Is Proud Of Her Dad

The daughter of Deputy speaker Wasiu Sanni was caught in a figurative cross fire between critics who were not in support of what he said in the national assembly about the impact of social media on youths.

It is common knowledge that the motion to ban or regulate social media is in play, a lot of speakers have made their opinions known, and most of them spoke up to highlight the negative impact of social media towards the ongoing protests.

Wasiu Sanni, did not hesistate to blame social media influencers for all the woes that happened during the end SARS protest, and he especially laid emphasis on the Lekki massacre. This is very satirical because he didn't blame the gun, he didn't blame the bullet, he didn't even blame the soldiers that pulled the trigger, but he is pushing the blame on innocent protesters who were peacefully asking for the right not to be extorted, killed, or arrested for no due cause by the people who were put into power to keep them safe.

Several other deputy speakers and law makers agreed with him, including Desmond Elliott, and Mojisola Macaulay who mentioned that most youths on social media are actually drug addicts with a phone. From what I watched none of these people mentioned the advantage of social media or how it has made life easier for them. It comes as no surprise though, people usually paint the narrative that suits them grandly.

Let it not come as a surprise if the social media bill somehow passed, although it would be quite disheartening to see the government, a democratical one at that win in stifling free speech.

A twitter user who happened to familiar with the daughter of Wasiu Sanni called her out and asked her if she was proud of her father.
Although she acknowledged the tweet, she ended up replying in not so many words. Who can blame the girl, is very difficult to have an opposing opinion to your parent, especially if you happen to be dependent and sponge off of them. After all, it is seen as a betrayal to bite the hand that feeds you.
