Nigerians on social media are currently lambasting Lauretta Onochie, the Special Assistant on Media to President Muhammadu Buhari over her tweet on lifestyle audit.
Onochie had tweeted on Monday that lifestyle audit is now legal in Nigeria, adding that Nigerians could be called upon to explain how they acquired certain properties.
She also credited the tweet to the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission.
“Lifestyle Audit is now legal in Nigeria. Those who flaunt lifestyles they cannot afford can now be investigated by any of the graft agencies to produce evidence of the sources of their wealth,” she tweeted.
“You can now be called upon to explain how you acquired certain properties.”
The only way is the #LifestyleAudit. Let the audit continue until we learn to live within our means,” she replied a user who commended the new policy

Ah thanks for asking Ariana, it's Lauretta Onochie o, she says Nigerians flaunting lifestyles they can’t afford to face probe, instead of them to look into why poverty is everywhere, and why BMC boys are eating and glorifying ponmo. https://t.co/UyBmSauMTh

Lauretta Onochie legit wrote "Bringing Corruption To A Manageable Level In Nigeria." in her Bio.
If this ain't clownery I don't know what is, these people(APC) legit told y'all that they will manage corruption.
