It is not funny, it is offensive
I’m sorry, but I am not amused. They happened on the same day!
Despite a budget of ₦2,000,000 flat for fumigation, the only lie that the people who manage the President’s communications could come up with to explain away rushing him home despite his continued illness is that his office was overrun by rats!

No, it is not funny. It is humiliating. It is humiliating when the people charged with managing the information around our top offices are so incompetent that they cannot even think. It is humiliating when the people who are organising a PR stunt for our top military brass are so grossly inept that it clearly did not occur to them that doing PR from a restricted account was a daft idea. To make a ridiculous situation even worse, they began the drama of posting the discussion using screenshots. Making use of screenshots led to even more elementary errors!

These, and so many other gaffes, show us in lurid colours that at this point in time, our entire government communications is run by rank amateurs. They do not coordinate among themselves, they do not brainstorm, they do not do any scenario planning, they do not make any effort to gauge the impact of their messaging. All they know how to do is abuse people who hold contrary views.
What makes it worse, is the extension of this thought.
Communications, are among the most important roles that can be filled in a modern corporation. Communications experts are sharp, intelligent, have big budgets, and are well compensated. This comes from the realisation that perception is greater than reality, so no serious establishment plays with its corporate communications.
This brings an uncomfortable question — if the Nigerian government can’t run communications properly, what can they run properly?
