If you’re fervent on Twitter, you’ll know that every new day comes with a peculiar trend that rules for a while till everyone moves on to something new and more interesting. This time though, things have gone live on Twitter NG with the “How many RTs” trend and it seems “beggi-beggi Twitter” as some people have called it is going to be here for a while.

What started out as a Twitter game by @burmese_tyga became viral within hours and tweeps are getting their wishes granted just by retweets.

Here’s how it works:

– Make a request from your favourite celebrity or company (depending on your need).

– If they’re cool peeps who dig how the trend works, they’ll tell you how many retweets you need to gather to get your request granted.

– Then you head on to Twitter streets hawking your tweet and begging profusely for retweets.

It’s simple, isn’t it?

Simple until the unadventurous ones ruin the purpose and the rest of us get super pissed and move right on to the next trend. But before it gets irksome, here are some of the benefits tweeps have gained from ‘harvesting’ RTs:

Internship with oil firm, Oando Plc

@Oando_PLC How many RTs to get an employment with Oando? 🙂

— 'Yinka Fajimite (@lordphaj3804) October 5, 2016

Unfortunately, we don't do RTs for employment, but we'll do 2,000 RTs for a 1 month internship. https://t.co/Tp3gO2dkiC

— Mazi Ibe (@I_pissVodka) October 6, 2016

We’ll see how this dude fares by the end of the week.

Meanwhile, this tweep has an advice for every participant

Someone just used 2000 RTs to start afresh, use your options wisely.

— A.A.A❤ (@Ronnie31jan) October 6, 2016

This is useful advice as a number of people have started making rubbish of the purpose of the game by making ridiculous requests, like this one below…

Dear President @MBuhari how many RTs to stop you from blaming @GEJonathan for all your ineptitude and blame game generally? Cc: @realFFK

— The Nigerian Wailers (@NGRWailers) October 6, 2016

We’re not sure how long the trend will last but it has done a lot of good for tweeps who have participated wisely but the ‘inventor’ of the RT game is pleased with himself.

People will get jobs from this shit. People will get married from this shit…people will get money from it. I feel good about this now. ?

— Ferdinand (@Burmese_Tyga) October 6, 2016

We finally found a way of making dreams happen in this hard-times and have fun while at it. ??????
