Lol. What is empirical evidence and why is it trending on Nigerian twitter?

So the word empirical evidence is the trending phrase in Nigeria now. This is after former Education minister, Mrs Oby Ezekwesili used it during her interview with Aljazeerah. Dr Ezekwesili had asked for empirical evidence when a question was put to her that her former boss Obasanjo's administration was a corrupt one. Trust Nigerians to make the phrase their own in the most hilarious manner. See the tweets after the cut...

    Lol Nigerians are funny set of people.
    I followed aunty Oby's discourse late last night till I sleptoff, she only said she can't label anyone corrupt without empirical evidence.
    She refused to label GEJ nor OBJ corrupt based on the verdict of public opinion.

    While I appreciate Nigerians for always finding a reason to be happy,I sometimes wonder if we aren't joking our lives away.

    Empirical evidence isn't a magic word.simply put its something that is based solely on experiment or experience and not rumor mills or blogs.So I really don't know why this should be turned into a joke.

      It's not a joke because we don't know what it means (anyone who doesn't can always look it up in a dictionary), but because of the context in which it was used. Everyone knows that OBJ and GEJ both ran very corrupt administrations and we don't need 'empirical evidence' to arrive at that conclusion. The gist of the joke is her hypocrisy.

    4. Anonymous5 May 2015 at 23:16

      I don't think is the word itself, but how abrupt she used it as the basis for her answer and using it as a defense for her formal boss, who will all know stole public funds

    How do you use empirical evidence to proof corruption?
    How would you collect that data?
    Isn't it by lack of due process being followed?
    And d state and level of institutional breakdown?
    Empirical evidence is knowledge acquired by means of observation or experimentation.

    Most times by means of observation; do you hv to systematically observe under controlled environments to know that OBJ was corrupt. I'm lost...

      You need Jesus in your life. Most of you are there wasting away your lives, tweeting away your destiny and blogging away your future. Most of you are still "mummy tanku ma" child-adults. Jobless occupants of the three-seater sofa in your sitting room with remote control at hand. Yet all you know is to condemn those trying hard to map a future for you. #LindaMyBankoleGf

    You think you are a good person?
    Take time to ask 5 random people (who know you) what they think of you, beg them to be sincere and you might just be dazed when you know who/what you really are.

    Well my take Oby was very smart with her answers. Any other person that is not smart would have been thrown off balance during those questions. Oby refused to disgrace her country in the public eye. It's better we settle our matter in house. This Oyibo them too they feel say Na we corrupt pass meanwhile Na them carry am for head. Every time all you here from them is Nigerians are corrupt and they treat our people like shit outside. Even our so called black brothers South africa: you can imagine what they where spewing from their mouth during xenophobia. Oby to me did the right thing. It's better she comes to GEJ and OBJ and fight in house than allow the public that are even worst than us in terms of corruption quote her. Good she didn't answer because tomorrow headlines will be Oby ranks Nigeria corrupt as all the leaders both past and present are all corrupt. As long as I am concerned the joke was on them. For those of us that learnt new English from her make we also joking write am for diary and use it as occasion demands.
