Twitter buzzing as Nigerians mock Presidential Spokesman Femi Adesina over “Mental & Chronological Age” Tweets

When it comes to social media, people have “no chill”!
Presidential spokesperson Femi Adesina learned this lesson the hard way today and he became a trending topic on Twitter due to his comments on “Mental & Chronological Age”.

What He Said
via Guardian
His words: “Talking of age, there is a saying that ‘age does not matter’. We must rather talk of the mental age rather than the chronological age. It is not the chronological age that matters…. ”

“God himself is ageless, so you can’t be talking of whether someone is old or not. Talking about women, yes, three women in this list, 15 yet to come, if all the 15 are now women, what would you have to say? Just be sure that the President is mindful of fair representation in the country and he will do what is needful.”

#ministers People who have been nominated are qualified and are Nigerians. Talking of age, there is a saying that "age does not matter".
