The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) has become a subject
of discussion on social media after its official Twitter handler engaged in a
banter session with users.
It all started on Wednesday when a Twitter user identified
as John Doe initiated a poll for men on the platform.
The user had asked men whom they would prefer to marry if a
police officer, immigration officer, army officer, and DSS officer were to be a
woman.
“Men, If you’re to choose amongst this four type of women to marry, which will be your pick? Women, please do not vote abeg. Vote and/or comment,” he had written.
Men,

If you're to choose amongst this four type of women to marry, which will be your pick?
Women, please do not vote abeg🙏.
Vote and/or comment 😂😂
The poll, which had a total of 3,358 results, was won by
immigration.
Reacting, the NIS quoted the poll with a meme of Charles
Inojie saying: “na them dey rush us”.
It also accompanied the meme with a terse post which reads “dey play”.

The NIS further responded to a user who expressed his desire to marry an immigration officer based on the poll with a meme of Sabinus, the comedian.
Is this “playing”?

The NIS’ humourous conversations with Twitter users have
continued to elicit mixed reactions on the platform.
Some users commended the organisation for adopting a
friendly approach to engaging people.
“I must commend the Handler of this Account for such an
amazing, friendly and cordial response. I commend you and by extension wish
that other governmental agencies (social media handlers) should also embrace
this cheerful display at times, especially in this period and time,” a user
wrote.
A segment of users, however, argued that a government handle
should instead focus on serious issues.
“A government office doing meme? Na secondary school grad una employ there?” a user asked.
😂 😂 I'm loving whoever the new handler of this handle is, you're doing an awesome job. 😂 😂 💯 💯
