‘You don’t have respect’ – Reactions as Toni Tones joins Shettima at NBA challenge

Nollywood actress Toni Tones has joined the #ShettimaChallenge alongside other social media users 

The challenge was triggered by the outfit APC Vice Presidential candidate Kashim Shettima wore to the Nigerian Bar Association conference in Lagos yesterday, August 22.  

While some Nigerians laughed off the trend, others saw it as an insult to the personality who was out there to represent his principal, Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

@NdyMimi wrote: If APC wins you guys are in for big wahala.

@Tonyofoluwa wrote: You people don’t have respect’.

@Muyewazzy wrote: Keep posting your voice president.

Recall that a former presidential aide, Reno Omokri, had knocked the dressing of the vice presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Kashim Shettima, at the Nigeria Bar Association Conference in Lagos State.

The event, held on Monday, was graced by the presidential candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar and Labour Party, Peter Obi, respectively.

Shettima, who represented the standard bearer of the APC, Bola Tinubu, was dressed in a black suit and red tie, accompanied by a pair of gym shoes, which has stirred reactions from social media users.

Sharing a picture of Shettima at the event on his Twitter page, Omokri wrote, “This is Tinubu’s running mate at the NBA Conference today. Look at his feet. Who in his right mind wears a suit and tie and then puts on a pair of gym shoes to a conference?

“If Shettima does not know how to dress himself, how can he address Nigeria’s challenges?”

    There is nothing wrong with wearing a suit together with sneakers. Before him, a lot of people had worn suits with sneakers it’s not

    Dressing is not really an issue here. Rather it is the ability and knowledge needed to ensure we have a secure and robust economy. After all the man is not naked. Dressing can be improved upon. We should learn to respect elder. One day we will all grow old. Correction should be done genuinely nor sarcastically. May God bless us all.

      What kind of respect are you talking of? That’s how you people follow elders blindly and sheepishly instead of telling them the truth for a better society. If you think he deserves respect as an elder, then tell him and his principal to go back home and warm themselves by the fire side and leave politics to those who understand what our nation needs at this time.

    Respect kill you there. When an elderly is found where he’s not supposed to be he will surely be disrespected. Those politicians has no shame. Involving themselves in shits and they will be saying youth are leaders of tomorrow. Is that how they will become leaders. Bullshits

    How to fix the country for progressive and sustainable development doesn’t require fashionable dressing, but the brain and capability to run an inclusive and corrupt free Government.

      You must be very naive to think this Shettima is the one to fix this country. This is someone we have heard say to hell with restructuring, I don’t get, is it that we forget easily in this country ? I swear Nigerians are easily brain washed. We are shallow minded we easily believe all these people and they keep deceiving us.

    Oga Remo….. U are not making a shred of sense. Wondering why u kept mute over Atiku’s native wear combination with a gym shoe. Dressing like other ways of life can be dynammic. I am increasingly disliking your writings because of ur immersion in the destructive river of politics. You either take, address this fact or u forgerrit

    This is Shettima who never takes anything that will bring the progress of this nation serious. We have heard him say ” Restructuring my foot. To hell with restructuring”. With his mindset, who bloody cares about what he puts on to attend NBA’s Conference, after all leadership is their birthright.

    Why is there so much noise about what His Excellency Kashim Shettima wore to the NBA Dinner. Most of those making all this noise can notcome close to what this man has achieved. To emerge as Senator Ahmed Bola Tinubu’s running mate out of all other credible candidates out there makes him extra special. The most important thing is what does he bring to the table and not how well his ‘oyinbo fashion sense is. If Jay-Z the rap artist does it, all of you critics will be falling over yourselves to copy. Look at your haircut styles and the disgusting sagging of your pants, are they appropriate? Enough of this diversionary nonsense. Do better things with your time.

    If you can hear what is coming out these cows and goats mouth, then you will know where their allegiance lies…they don’t care about the nation, it’s all tribalism for them. It doesn’t matter if they vote goats in as their president but as long as it favours them.
    This is a call for all true Nigerians to stand up and rescue this nation comes 2023 presidential election. These two can’t be our president else we are doom in this nation. It will be worse than this era we are in, if we allow it.

    A lot of people got this wrong. What’s the problem here? The white people that introduced us to suits now put on canvass, snickers etc on suits. I’ve seen them in London, New York and here in Canada. It’s only when a black man replicates it that the heavens will fall. What has his dressing got to do with his duties as a vice president?

    People manners class they belong can easily be known through their choice of wowords been used in the cause of expression.

    What type of youth re we talking about? Is it Obi @ 65+ or bunch of young that lacking manner or highly sophisticated in corruption of ritual money making or e-money thief?

    Let the one with clean hands throw the first stone and if done without conscience let such person remain under GOD God punishment for ever!

    Put tribalism, religion and ethnicity aside and support best hand among the 2 or three candidates on ground.

    I come in peace
