Video: Osinbajo posts “embarrassing” tweet about a Nigerian farm

Nigeria’s Vice President Prof. Yemi Osinbajo is reported to have posted yesterday, what many say is an “embarrassing” tweet about a farm established by Reston Tedheke, a former militant from the Niger Delta, which he visited in Northern Nigeria. Osinbajo tweeted that a farm that was worth N1.5 million in 2017 is now worth N1 billion. Osinbajo stated that Reston Tedheke who started with 3 hectares is now operating on 3000 hectares.

Watch video:

In 2017, Reston Tedheke started a farm with 1.5 Million Naira & today, it is worth about 1 Billion Naira

Visiting Reston's farm, I saw a story of national unity and integration: a man from Bayelsa who relocated to the NorthCentral & got free land from the local community. pic.twitter.com/mUWObfzoZX

However, while some Nigerians believe that Osinbajo’s tweet is true, many Nigerians have reacted negatively to Vice President Osinbajo’s tweet/post. Some even believe that some people in government are hiding stolen funds on Reston Tedheke’s farm.

See some reactions from some Twitter users below.

1.5M naira yielded 1B naira in Spacetime of 2 years.

If this is possible Jeff Bezos will abandoned Amazon to farm in Nigeria.

Dangote will be the richest man in the world by now.

Reston must have found the Magic Wand that was hidden from others.

That's the only explanation.

In 2017 Reston farm worth was 1.5 million and 3 hectares of land.
2 years later, the farm is 3000 hectares and his farm worth 1 Billion.. Am lost.. This is audio farming.. Even if he had monopoly (which he doesn't) can't achieve this in 730days.
