Nigerians have been teasing their president Muhammadu Buhari on Twitter after they complained that the country is short on fuel and that vehicles have been forced to queue for extended periods of time for the limited fuel available at gas stations.

An irate Twitter user claimed that there is no petrol in Nigeria and that the limited Diesel costs 450 Naira per litter, or 122.96 when converted to Kenyan shillings.
"No fuel in Nigeria Diesel is over ₦450 per liter No light Kidnapping, Terrorism, Sponsored UGM, ASUU strike, Stiife and uncertainties, yet we behave as if all is well. Aisha Buhari is presented birthday cake in Dubai with a delegate from Fayemis wife. We must get sense one day!"

There’s fuel, electricity, security crisis in Nigeria but our First Lady is living in Dubai. Wives of Govs still flew to UAE to celebrate birthday with her with taxpayers funds! Even serious & rich nations aren’t this wasteful & uncontrolled. We’re getting worst by the day. Jogbo pic.twitter.com/J3jznJ08RL

I have passed that stage in my life. If the country don’t fix up and I can’t help fix it I will fix myself and provide my own solutions with the resources I have. You have money, why should you suffer that much"?.However, this agly insults against President Buhari and the country come at a time when other fans have claimed that President Buhari went to Dubai to surprise first lady Aisha Buhari for her birthday as the country suffers.Nigerians queuing for petrol at a gas station.

How I wish he can continue beyond 2023...".
In 2021 June 4th President Buhari had banned over 200 millions of Nigerians from using twitter as the government cited "the persistent use of the platform for activities that were capable of undermining Nigeria's corporate existence."
The prohibition came shortly after teh head ofstates post which had threatened to handle separatist rebels "in the language they will understand," was censored, triggering criticism that the Twitter ban was retaliatory.
Officials said the action was taken in "a deliberate attempt to recalibrate the country`s relationship with Twitter to achieve the maximum mutual benefits for our nation without jeopardizing the justified interests of the company."
However the ban was later lifted in 2022 January after 7 months of restriction.
"The Federal Government of Nigeria directs me to inform the public that President Muhammadu Buhari... has approved the lifting of the suspension of Twitter operation in Nigeria effective from 12am tonight," said a tweet from the director-general of the country's National Information Technology Development Agency Kashifu Inuwa Abdullahi.
