The two minutes, 38 seconds long video has generated a lot of reactions on social media with many Nigerians sharing links through which it could be downloaded. And many social media users have had a bit of fun with it, with Patience being at the receiving end of the ascerbic attack.Na only you waka come

After the video went viral on the internet Tuesday, the viral images swept the internet with inscriptions on T-shirts mocking Patience over the way she reacted to the issue.

Mrs. Jonathan had summoned the school’s principal, Mrs. Kwarmbula and an unnamed staff of the West African Examination Council, WAEC, over the abduction of 234 schoolgirls by the Boko Haram insurgents on 14 April.

While interrogating the principal, the video showed Patience asking the school principal if she came with two teachers, who could probably testify to the issue.

Mrs. Jonathan asked: “What of two teachers that can tell us that they conducted that exam? Do you come with any…na only you waka come? Okay!”

She then went on endlessly exclaiming, “There is God oh” and then broke down in tears.

Reacting, a twitter handle with the identity @its_donjay, said last night: “My goodness. BBC just showed Patience Jonathan’s ‘There is God’ clip. And they actually displayed translations. Take away my citizenship now.”
