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 Osarumen Osamuyi
So CAN is furious that Muslims get to keep Islamic Religious Knowledge in Secondary schools while Christian Religious Knowledge has been booted out the back door. Osarumen Osamuyi thinks both should be given the boot.
Scrap both CRK and IRK, teach Nigerian History and Philosophy so we can start having sense.

If you want your child to grow up in the way of [insert deity of choice], then train them at home. This thing is actually getting tiring.

2. Falz
The comedian and musician is tired of fellow artistes repping kidnappers and their ilk in their music videos. He’d like them to keep it clean. WATCH:

Falz = lawyer with international exposure, staying in character and sounding like a stark illiterate while talking serious stuff is SMHish

I actually thought I'm the only one that his/jenifas accent irritates.

Falz wants to talk about morality and decency in art, but Davido insulted his elder, Dele Momodu, right on his own song.

Yesterday, Davido couldn’t contain his excitement when Ronaldo of football fame followed him on the Gram.

Well, one or two Nigerians think he should have behaved.

Apparently, the Lagos government needs to shine their spotlight on Surulere as the happenings there are becoming terrifying. See below:

6. @duchesskk summarises the warped ideology of the Nigerian State:
Nigerians will defend corrupt politicians,
They will defend rapists,
Fight for kidnappers,
Defend fraudsters
Defend everyone but the victims— period partner (@duchesskk) June 22, 2017

7. Chris Ngwodo
There’s been an outcry from some sections of society asking why the media and Nigerians are not talking about the fulani killings.
@King Alfred had explained the duplicity of expecting outrage only when it’s your people and Chris Ngwodo lends his 2 cents. See below:
There is such a thing as hashtag fatigue – the tiredness thatcomes from harping on the same evils occurring again&again in different places

From Agatu to Southern Kaduna, Takum & Gassol, to Mambila, the issues are basically the same&won't go away until they are fully confronted.

We have a major problem with the value of human life. Protecting the sanctity of Nigerian lives isn't a core value of the Nigerian state. pic.twitter.com/FmGssrDuAa

Many Nigerians aren't much better as they find their inner activists&outrage only when their people are affected by the culture of violence pic.twitter.com/Q1rnpwKZbg

Nigerians who practise selective humanization,selective victimization&selective outrage are enablers of the culture of violence plaguing us pic.twitter.com/vXGVxXJVhW

I wrote this in April 2016. We are clearly still on the same road. Basic principles of human dignity still confound us. We have not learned. pic.twitter.com/oJopnwyt5E

These events are predictable but there is no joy in being proved right. These recurrent atrocities would be boring if they weren't so tragic
— Resistance is Futile (@chrisngwodo) June 22, 2017
This culture of violence that we revel in when it suits us&revile when it victimizes our people will consume yet more of us until we learn. pic.twitter.com/WEwqpeZ1TN

When we are ready to recognize our mutual humanity, we will make common cause. Until then our road will be longþy&our harvest, grim. pic.twitter.com/6WIZmHK5yn

Only God can save and help us as such a time like this. We should preach moving closer to God than ever who knows our solution will come.Tnx
