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? ???
Reuben Abati is clearly into some serious fetishes. His writing can barely hide it

He even interviewed private jet owners to determine what shape of mammary glands they preferred. It's science. ? https://t.co/F0lRpZlmWZ

Might this be what dirty talk sounds like to Reuben and his age mates?
'Papayas, pineapples and watermelons.' Remarkable!

The funny thing is some Nigerian men of his generation will find it amusing. He knows his audience. This is how…

they speak dirty within the confines of private/country clubs while feigning "righteous" and "responsible" publicly
— Richard Martins. (@richielovall) April 11, 2017
You sure it is just 'men of his generation'?
— gidimeister (@gidimeister) April 11, 2017
Well no one of our generation will use those words ?. That's old school.

Should Mrs Abati be concerned?
Mrs Abati should be asking Reuben where he saw all those breasts
— Arthur (@KingArthur9ja) April 11, 2017
Considering his age, he's either been watching tons of porn or doing Sugar daddy work in Lagos. Either way, madam deserves to know
— Arthur (@KingArthur9ja) April 11, 2017
he's obsessed with tboss as well.

South, East, West or Reuben?
"South-looking, slightly bigger than mangoes…" this sentence right after alleging young people put their upbringing to shame. ???
— Texène Wenger (@TexTheLaw) April 11, 2017
the breast weren't looking south.Infact it wasn't point at any direction of the 4 cardinal points. It was looking a Reuben abati

About this body shaming
Imagine Abati with his beer belly, body shaming Tiwa (or any lady for that matter). How does it even fit into the narrative of the article?

I didn't believe Abati wrote that till I saw the bit about Dangote.
Goodness… the man is utterly depraved, closet pervert somebody! pic.twitter.com/WoJDL4fszK— tp (@tpyinka) April 11, 2017
Why are you falling my hand?
Abati has always been like that. If he lost his mind, I doubt it is a recent occurrence. Depravity on fleek— Nwankosi (@nwankosi247) April 11, 2017
Where did the journalist go?
You guys forget he cut his teeth at Hints magazine? At the core, he is a soft sell writer who packaged himself
— Oladayo (@oladayo01) April 11, 2017
Lol. If one thinks of it this way…
— Allen (@oged07) April 11, 2017
Abati used to reallly write dope stuff but it increasingly feels he's trying to regain relevance by writing on everything under the sun.
— Mark Amaza (@amasonic) April 11, 2017
Funny enough the piece had valid points that are worth pondering. So I wonder why he had to add such crude lines therein.
— Nwankosi (@nwankosi247) April 11, 2017
that's the annoying part, it was all so unnecessary…

Man. What happened to Reuben Abati? I used to love reading his editorial pieces in Guardian that year.
Who is this person writing now?— Tiste Azathanai (@MallamSawyerr) April 11, 2017
