Everyday on the Nigerian internet, there are people who keep our eyes glued to our phone screens as we read their rants, opinions, perspectives on political and social matters, etc. Sometimes, they are even just downright ridiculous. We make it our job to take down the names of these noisemakers.
Here’s our list from today:
1 BBOG
The office of the citizen, BBOG branch, is hounding reminding the government about its responsibilties regarding the still-missing Chibok girls. It’s day 1045 now, so their noise needs to resound in the recesses of Aso Rock.
Our daughters & sisters are still in captivity 195 of them are still in captivity #BringBackOurGirlsNOW #NeverToBeForgotten

BBOG is a lesson in relentlessness. Wehdone sirs and madams.
2. Papa Bule
Missing children, no electricity- it’s still bad news in Nigeria today. @bule_jr warns us to purchase those gens and strap in, light is not coming.
Just finished a meeting and I'm so so disappointed. Abeg go and buy generators now & keep. You won't be having light anytime soon.

This country is mad and it doesn't even know. Selfish people everywhere you look in government. I'm tired.

Honestly going to write this and name names. What a mess. What a ridiculous mess.

The idea of relocating never appealed to me as per Nigeria will work in my lifetime. I laugh at myself now.

Writing minutes for the meeting and I'm boiling all over again. Honestly, this country is shit. It really is.

Calling it a country is even stretching the reality of what we have. It's anything but.

3. Babatunde Gbadamosi
Another Nigerian has been detained by the DSS today.
Heading to DSS Lagos State HQ, Shangisha in response to verbal invitation delivered by 6 officers to my home yesterday. Freedom is not free
— Babatunde Gbadamosi (@BOGbadamosi) February 22, 2017
It’s not known what reasons the DSS gave for their invitation, but it is clear from his Twitter TL that the young man has been vocal against Buhari.
We are watching and waiting…
4 Demola Olarewaju
…And so are his friends, one of whom is Demola Olarewaju.
Demola has been making noise on Twitter about Gbadamosi’s absence.
Hours after this tweet, @BOGbadamosi has not been heard from and we hear he has been flown to Abuja by the DSS.
Is this a Banana Republic? https://t.co/x0obm0Fd32
— Demola Olarewaju (@DemolaRewaju) February 22, 2017
No charges have been made public and all we know so far is where to look and who to hold responsible if anything happens to @BOGbadamosi
— Demola Olarewaju (@DemolaRewaju) February 22, 2017
The @BOGbadamosi that I know can not be cowed, his voice will only emerge stronger. We wait impatiently for him to be released by the DSS.
— Demola Olarewaju (@DemolaRewaju) February 22, 2017
So how does this DSS invitation protocol work sef? Does the DSS deny their guests access to their phones or what? Why has Gbadamosi not returned? Do these interrogations have a timeline?
Anyhoo, @Tutsy22 captures our thoughts perfectly:
Since Buhari became president, at least once a month, we're trending hashtags demanding for someone's freedom!!!#FreeBOG#FreeBOGgbadamosi pic.twitter.com/AYTu3k3UYN

Happy for you guys. No message from Mr President?
5. Apple Park for Steve Jobs
While we are grappling with lack of electricity, Steve Job’s dream of Apple Park has been realised, and guess what the park runs on 100% renewable energy.
Watch and weep.
Nearly six years after Steve Jobs announced plans for Apple's new headquarters, Apple Park is finally a reality https://t.co/rbestVdrvX pic.twitter.com/5B7mS8SaGF

To be forewarned…
