In case you missed it, Twitter’s dragging Reuben Abati, the former spokesperson to President Goodluck Jonathan, for an article he wrote dismissing TBoss peculiar ‘mangoes’. By the way, ‘Mango’ is Reuben Abati’s euphemism for breast- the female ones. Might also be a dirty word, we aren’t sure. Because there are papayas and a number of other fruits there too.
Confused? Let’s start with what Reuben Abati said:
It’s got Nigerians wondering along these lines. Do see below:
Uncle Reuben’s got a fetish? ???

Should Mrs Abati be concerned?
Mrs Abati should be asking Reuben where he saw all those breasts

Considering his age, he's either been watching tons of porn or doing Sugar daddy work in Lagos. Either way, madam deserves to know

Abati used to reallly write dope stuff but it increasingly feels he's trying to regain relevance by writing on everything under the sun.
