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 just downright ridiculous. We make it our job to take down the names of these noisemakers.
Here’s our list from today:
1 Bukola Saraki
Senate President Bukola Saraki has an axe to grind with the Nigerian Ports and he’s throwing the weight of the 8th Senate behind this investigation.
As part of our commitment to fight corruption, Sen Omo Agege just raised petition to investigate financial recklessness in @nigerianports

Nigerians cry foul:
I don't think even you yourslf believe that first part of the statement… https://t.co/4o8AczieCu

For those in the back: Some free money didn't reach one senator so he's having a fit. https://t.co/Q3cbmcTfas

This has to be most puerile Senate in human history. Petty, confused and obsessed with anything but governance. Self-serving toy gods! https://t.co/lz4xkpDylL

please, wetin concern agbero with overload, @bukolasaraki and every senate members, can you please focus on what you were elected to do?

If the Senate is committed to fighting corruption, they will stop being the cog in the wheel of @officialEFCC 's fight against corruption.
— JJ. Omojuwa (@Omojuwa) July 5, 2017
When you want to know where corruption is being fought look at where the 8th Assembly is investigating.

2. Nigerian Senate
Beyond investigations into financial recklessness, the Senate thought it had found the man to lead Nigeria in the absence of Buhari: Bukola Saraki.
Twitter NG reacted sharply to his perceived ambitions.

3. Amara Nwankpa
Amara Nwankpa says there’s no cause for alarm as the laid down constitutional process to remove a sitting ailing sitting. See below:
Thread: Procedure to remove the President from office on the grounds of incapacitation. Section 144 of the Constitution.
— Amara Nwankpa (@Nwankpa_A) July 5, 2017
Process starts if 2/3rds of the ministers appointed by the President pass a resolution that he is incapable of carrying out his functions
— Amara Nwankpa (@Nwankpa_A) July 5, 2017
Presumably, this resolution is transmitted to the President of the Senate. Although that part doesn't seem to be clear.
— Amara Nwankpa (@Nwankpa_A) July 5, 2017
Following, the resolution, the SP must set up a medical panel of 5 medical practitioners in Nigeria
— Amara Nwankpa (@Nwankpa_A) July 5, 2017
If the medical panel certifies the report that the President is indeed permanently incapable of discharging the functions of his office…
— Amara Nwankpa (@Nwankpa_A) July 5, 2017
The SP must sign and publish a notice in the Official Gazette of the Federation. The Speaker also needs to sign this notice.
— Amara Nwankpa (@Nwankpa_A) July 5, 2017
According to the constitution, the President ceases to hold office from the day the notice is gazetted.
— Amara Nwankpa (@Nwankpa_A) July 5, 2017
So, to be honest, the anger of not having a medical panel should be directed at the FEC, not @NGRSenate. They cannot start the process.

Twitter user, Ayobami has spotted another way to make the FEC do its job:
Just realized that there's precedence for the courts compelling FEC to do this. It's time to take this to court. NGR lawyers. Stand up! pic.twitter.com/JAQcOK1x9F

Lool. Even in this MYA's case, as obvious as it was and as hard as they tried, they couldn't impeach him
— Deji (@xDeji) February 5, 2017
lol. The Constitution was written in a way that it'll be hard. Dem don shock Saraki leg with court case too
— Ayobami (@dondekojo) February 5, 2017
They knew all along baba wasn't fit and would be absent from time to time *insert man pointing to head meme*

5.Wizkid
Whilst conspiracies are brewing and coup d’ stats might be in the offing, Wizkid’s beef with Davido was renewed today.
Wiz threw the first punch and Twitter NG fired shots.
6. Davido
Does this sentence say everything that’s on OBO’s mind regarding Wizzy’s taunt?
Get in yo bag!! ?? pic.twitter.com/mZvAKLI679

7. Rob Kardashian
Looks like celebroties are flipping out on the internet today. While Wizkid was having things out with Davido, Rob Kardashian was spilling the goods on Blac Chyna. Dude went on and on. The receipts are so many, we compiled them here.
With a bonus. The reactions from Twitter NG are sure to have you hooting while cruching your popcorn.
