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 Audu Maikori
Following the circus over Audu Maikori’s role in spreading false information about the Southern Kaduna massacres, the Chocolate City Group boss has now been arrested.

*Sigh*
Here’s what Nigerians think about this latest kerfuffle.
Those for
Every man should be worried about the consequences of his actions https://t.co/n95d1OeBj7

Those against
Let them come and arrest all of us rather than find an end to the actual crisis #SouthernKaduna https://t.co/5kEbnna3jK

2. Olabinjo (@UPNEPA)
Yesterday, Twitter NG raised the matter of ill-treatment and bad business practices by CEO of Tech/StartUps in Nigeria, and some companies and names were called out.
Olabinjo is now out with a form he’d asked employees of StartUps to fill. The results are rather revealing.

But the CEO’s are not happy about it.

Rather unfair that you protect respondents identities, but not the companies and CEO names. https://t.co/SP6lYc9xo8

Why didn't you put the names of respondents so the CEOs can respond with the performance reviews of said employees, for balance, ya know. https://t.co/h0ojGAdaK5

We have not exactly left the matter of president Buhari’s health and his unfulfilled promises, one of which @JeffOkoroafor highlights below:
In April, @MBuhari announced that his govt would no longer pay for officials to travel abroad for medical services, today he leads the way.

We also footed d bill when Yar’Adua received months of medical treatment in Saudi Arabia in 2008-2009, b4 he returned home to die in office.

Hmmm. Connections.

Eromo would like to understand why Lagos is tearing down historical structures. These are the type of structures other countries earn tourism fees from.
Today, I entered this building completed in the 17th century. But Lagos is demolishing Ilojo Bar of yesterday. #sigh pic.twitter.com/ju8UwYyadd

Nigeria’s issues are many.
