“Please help me tell him he is a motherf*cker” | See the top 10 quotes from the past week

When Kaffy Ameh dropped that video on her Instagram early on during the week, we had no reason to believe that she was setting the tone for the rest of the week.

From her emotional outburst (for which she later apologised) to the wife of the President finally declaring support for her husband after that her BBC Hausa interview weeks back, here are the top ten quotes worth remembering from the past week:

1. “This message goes to Omo baba Olowo….please help me tell him he is a motherf*cker…for him to fire dancers after climbing the stage, after he has agreed to put them on stage – Kaffy Ameh furiously calling out Davido over his treatment of dancers at last weekends three thrones concert.

2. “The inclusion of Bobrisky unfortunately sensationalizes and radicalises what should otherwise be a serious discourse …” -Alder consulting definitely didn’t envisage the wrath of progressive Nigerians when they composed this press statement that dominated much of the week’s conversation.

3. “That is what we are all after. And what I am after in particular is the success of my husband’s administration. And we can’t do it alone, except with the help of the governors, their wives and members of our progressive party and all Nigerians.” – Mrs Aisha Buhari finally said something that could be remotely classified as a public apology for her public declaration that all was not smooth in the other room. Of course a lot has been squeezed out of her words in the tabloids but you can read all she really said here.

4. “Just thinking to myself right now, we should just cancel the election and just give it to Trump” – Donald Trump- our favourite presidential candidate thought out loud at a rally in Ohio 3 days ago. Thanks Trump, “What are we having it for”?

5. “We must become the change we seek” – Although this one is a Ghandi classic, the last time we heard from Teebillz, he was was damning Tiwa Savage to a life without peace. His second coming on social media was bound to be newsworthy.

6. “You can take your anger issues and spend some time working on them” – Fox News’ Megyn Kelly proved one more time in an epic news broadcast sign off, that she has no time for BS. She’s told off so many people on air several times but this one against Newt Gingrich from Tuesday night definitely confirms that she has a job for life at any network.

7. “Nigerian Men are very impulsive, If they like it, they buy it” –Adebayo Oke-Lawal of Orange culture in an interview gives us a little insight into the spending habits of Nigerian men.

8. “It is not a requirement of the law that presidents, governors or any such officials should make their (asset) declarations public.”- Garba Shehu, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media in an attempt to clear the air on the issue of the declaration of assets by executive and other public office holders.

9. “The root cause of Mental illness is Sin and the foundational solution is Salvation” – Pastor Sam Adeyemi caused the final stir of the week this morning when he posted a thread about his take on mental illness on Twitter this morning. Read more about it here.

10. “40% of Nigerians believe mental illness is due to supernatural causes, possession by evil spirits and punishment by God” – Prof. Oye Gureje. Nigeria Health Watch seized the opportunity presented by Pastor Adeyemi’s thread to drop some infomedia about #MentalHealth on Twitter.
