It seems President Jonathan might have an uncanny knack for inspiring Twitter memes & trends consistently. At the Presidential Media Chat yesterday, the president was asked about the $50 billion oil money, which the now suspended CBN Governor, Sanusi Lamido had alleged missing. He responded, as quoted from Vanguard:
Twenty billion dollars is a lot of money. If you steal $20 billion today, America will know. It is their money. Where will you hide the money? Even Dangote that is celebrated as the richest man in Africa today can not produce such amount of money
Almost immediately the #AmericaWillKnow hashtag started and before long, it was trending on Twitter. As of this posting, it has been trending for at least 13 hours:
Get off your butt because..
If you are sleeping on Monday morning #AmericaWillKnow…
