IgbereTV reports that Nigerians has lambasted a Nigerian journalist known as Fisayo Soyombo over his comment on Twitter, condemning the poor quality of local rice produced in Nigeria.
Fisayo Soyombo is an investigative journalist, a former editor of The Cable and a contributor to Aljazeera who got the praise of Nigerians after writing a report uncovering the corruption in the Nigeria’s criminal Justice system.
He spent two weeks in detention — five days in a Police cell and eight as an inmate in Ikoyi Prison — to track corruption in Nigeria’s criminal justice system, after he feigned to commit an offence for which he was arrested by the Nigeria Police.
Many Nigerians are after him on Twitter after condemning Nigeria local rice.
He posted:
Just because we closed our borders for a few weeks, see the kind of nonsense rice we’ve flooded our markets with. This one even felt like sandy soil the moment I turned it into water. Is this honestly the best we can do as a people? Who cursed us with mediocrity so wickedly?
