Viral tweets just make Twitter utterly delightful; so we thought to curate our top 10 (there’s a bonus and then some) from last week. Some of the tweets will have you shedding a tear; others will make you bowl over with laughter; altogether they’ll give you an idea about what Twitter talked about during the week.

Buha-reaching new lows
The Buhari Govt must not be allowed to get away with this consistent lowering of standards to such a point where it not only denies its own campaign manifesto but goes further to justify such foolishness as not initiating any new infrastructural projects as promised.

Downs Can’t Put Him Down

Ezigbo Igbo, 101
Igbo is the people and the language.
Ibo is a nonsense, meaningless word , a corruption of the word ‘Igbo’ invented by the Slavetraders because of the lack ‘gb’ in the English alphabet, it was actually Eboe or Red Eboes , then ‘Ibo’.
Ibo has no meaning in Igbo Language. https://t.co/666SmxmKdF— The Papi (@TheTawah_) April 6, 2018

To angels
Today we remember all babies born sleeping, or we've carried but never met, those we've held but couldn't take home, the ones that came home but didn't stay. In memory of all angels too perfect for earth 👼☁☀. Dedicated to all the angels ♥️ R.I.P pic.twitter.com/KkvozcCR6C
