The Managing director of the News Agency of Nigeria, Tayo Onanuga, says Cyber-hyenas, Cyber-vandals, Character assassins have seized Nigeria's social media. He said this following the backlash he received from a post he shared on his Facebook wall few days ago where he insinuated that the hardship most Nigerians are complaining about might just be mere propaganda. He wrote; Lynch-mob, cyber-hyenas, cyber-vandals, character assassins: this is the motley crowd that has seized Nigeria's social media space, either on Facebook or Twitter or Instagram.

Judging by my experience in the last 72 hours, I am no longer surprised why many decent people either close...

My only issue is that for some reason, INEC fixed this election to coincide with WAEC examination". Oshiomole said the two weeks extensio...
