These tweeps, many of who are from India and other African countries, believe that the war in Ukraine is told from one side of the story.

NNPC and Fuel scarcity:
The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, has claimed that the current fuel scarcity in Nigeria is as a result of marketers hoarding fuel.
NNPC, through Mele Kyari, the GMD/CEO, however told Nigerians to avoid panic buying of fuel.
IT also said that it has already started loading fuel at depots to clear queues on Fuel scarcity.
Meanwhile, Nigerians are miffed by President Muhammadu Buhari, the Minister of Petroleum, whom they said chose to travel abroad for medical tourism while Nigerians are experiencing fuel scarcity.
They said the president’s act smacks of a petroleum minister that does not care about the hardship the ministry he chairs causes the people.

Melinda Gates:
Meanwhile, French Melinda Gates has raised talks in the media as she has opened up on her divorce with her husband.
According to her, she cried a lot in her marriage with Microsoft co-founder and billionaire, Bill Gates.
She said ‘trust’ was ‘broken’ during her marriage to Bill.
Melinda and Bill were married for 27 years before divorcing.
She told King that she shed “a lot of tears for many days,” and recalled lying on the carpet thinking, “How can this be? How can I get up? How am I going to move forward?”
The 57-year-old philanthropist’s rare television interview will air in its entirety on Thursday.
It is the first time she has spoken publicly about her divorce.
The Tiffany Network released a teaser of King’s sit-down with the tech mogul’s ex-wife.
“I certainly believe in forgiveness, so I thought we had worked through some of that,” French Gates said.
“It wasn’t one moment or one specific thing that happened.
There just came a point in time where there was enough there that I realized it just wasn’t healthy, and I couldn’t trust what we had.
“Once trust is broken, isn’t it hard to get it back?” King, 67, asks French Gates in the clip.
“Very, it’s very hard to get it back, in any relationship,” she responds.
Hushpuppi and Abba Kyari:
The gist about why Hushpuppi is trending centres around the Attorney General of the Federation, AGF, Abubakar Malami has asked the court for approval for immediate extradition of police chief Abba Kyari to the United States over link with Hushpuppi fraud.
Kyari was formerly indicted by the FBI last year on allegations of conniving with Hushpuppi to defraud a Qatari businessman of millions of dollars.
The real name of Hushpuppi is Ramon Abbas.
He is an international fraudster. Nigeria extradited him to the U.S. from Dubai in 2020.
Mr Malami said Nigeria should extradite Kyari so he can face trial in the U.S. because his case there was solid and not politically or religiously motivated.
