The Nigerian Twitter-sphere is alive with various topics and discussions of national interest that are eliciting series of reactions and comments.
Here are the most prominent topics of Tuesday, February 9 and why they are trending.
#BudgetOfCorruption:
Nigerians have become increasingly skeptical and cynical about the 2016 budget, which has thrown up series of controversies- owing to the inconsistencies of the inputed figures and dubious allocations.
The Minister of Health’s revelation on Monday- that the budget of his ministry was manipulated- is possibly responsible for renewed interest and subsequent conversation among Nigerians.
After the missing #BudgetOfCorruption was found,

Real Comedy
