John Steinbeck’s The Grapes of Wrath is not merely a great American novel. It is also a significant event in America’s history. Capturing the plight of millions of Americans whose lives had been crushed by the Dust Bowl and the Great Depression, Steinbeck awakened the nation’s comprehension and compassion.
The Grapes of Wrath at a Glance. John Steinbeck’s The Grapes of Wrath, Tom Joad and his family are forced from their farm in the Depression-era Oklahoma Dust Bowl and set out for California along with thousands of others in search of jobs, land, and hope for a brighter future.
President Muhammadu Buhari’s Social Media Aide, Lauretta Onochie took to her Twitter account on Monday 3rd, December, 2018 and allege that the presidential candidate of the People’s Democratic Party [PDP] shared food plus a cash handout of N500 to Nigerians who attended his inaugural campaign rally in Sokoto.
In another Twitter post where she attached the same image, Lauretta Onochie accused Alhaji Atiku Abubakar of looting billions and buying the People’s Democratic Party [PDP] candidacy with billions and spending “millions of dollars chasing impossible forgiveness from America”.
“Plans to scrap the poverty alleviation programmes of the Muhammadu Buhari administration so he can continue to insult Nigerians,” she wrote.
Lauretta Onochie wrote on her Twitter handle: “INEC server shows Buhari lost presidential election with 1.6 million votes – Atiku, PDP
“Me: You checked the server of the postponed 16th February stuffed ballot Box Presidential election.
“Please Check the server where Nigerians voted on the 23rd of February. Ndok!”
Again, on Monday, April 14th, 2019, Mrs Lauretta Onochie published a ‘damning’ allegation listing serials of purported Alhaji Atiku Abubakar’s ludicrous and serious allegations, the sins according Lauretta Onochie are the real reasons Alhaji Atiku Abubakar’s plan to destabilize Nigeria:
- Steal the people’s votes by stuffing ballot boxes across the nation before the elections.
- Destabilize Nigeria by replicating the Venezuela option.
- Justice Walter Samuel Nkanu Onnoghen Option.
- Alhaji Atiku Abubakar went to hire a foreign firm, Fein & DelValle for $30,000 to lobby US Congress.
- Alhaji Atiku Abubakar is a Cameroonian.
Lauretta Onochie has seamlessly been dishing out ‘unverified’ and ‘spurious information’ and has being left unchecked. Lauretta Onochie penchant for these actions is becoming unprofessional, crude, raw, rash and rude. In a contrast to “The Grapes of Wrath at a glance – John Steinbeck’s The Grapes of Wrath, Tom Joad and his family are forced from their farm in the Depression-era Oklahoma Dust Bowl and set out for California along with thousands of others in search of jobs, land, and hope for a brighter future”, Nigeria is a country where Nigerians are now living a life of ‘hell-on-earth’ and a seemed doomed future. The Wrath of Lies’ of Lauretta Onochie may soon be experienced.
How long will Nigerians continued to be fed with fake, mis-informed, unverified, false, rude, raw, rash & crude information from the presidency and no sanction is been applied? Why has Lauretta Onochie continued to be a progenitor of ‘fake, false & unverified’ news?
The Wrath of Lies is simply waiting!
