Every day 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 Joachim MacEbong
The Lagos City Marathon took place today and it was a huge success, at least for the Kenyans who carted away the winning sum in dollars.
*Tears*
As for the Nigerians who participated, this is what Twitter NG thought about the whole matter.
Beyond the comedic, Joachim MacEbong, one of the participants in the marathon race wants Ambode to consider the weather in fixing this event.
I think the Lagos Marathon should be moved to the rainy season or late December. This heat and humidity are impossible.

I was told the organisers went to observe the Dubai Marathon. They clearly learned nothing. Dubai starts at 6am. In January.

They have optimised for their weather conditions, but we refuse to do the same. Temperature and humidity impacts performance by up to 30%.

Ambode, you hear?
Congrats, Jo. Here’s an A for stamina. Una too try.

Another event held in Lagos today, this one more cerebral than physical. It was TEDLAGOS 2017.
Ozoz Sokoh made quite some noise about it. See below:

We have our eyes on this one.
We love the wit, intelligence, banter, everything…
Keep making beautiful noise, the list awaits.

You know we asked where the president’s wife was? In Mecca, it turns out, undertaking the lesser pilgrimage.

Andrew Yakubu was fired by Jonathan over an act of insubordination directed at Deziani not because he was a thief https://t.co/ouxLj8VIh4

It was a crime to go against Deziani. It was never ever a crime to steal this much money because there was a race for stealing! pic.twitter.com/S4Jxb987WP

7. #PostYourQueen
Val’s day is almost here. What better time to start a new trend on Twitter. January’s #carryyourwifeonyourhead was a huge success in Nigeria at the beginning of the New Year. This #PostYourQueen trend looks like the foreign equivalent.
Walk away from all the troubles in Naija and feast on this cutie pie pictures.
