Every day, 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 Juliet Kego
International speaker and poet, Juliet is sermonising on intolerance. Please see below.
It doesn't matter where you're from -North-East-West-South, INTOLERANCE/BIGOTRY -NOT cool, should never be justified or accepted or excused!

"I may not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your RIGHT to say it."- Evelyn Beatrice Hall/Voltaire#EquityForAll

And contrary to what some of y'all have been CONDITIONED to believe from birth, you CAN actually love/celebrate both your tribe & others too

Contrary to what some of y'all have been CONDITIONED to believe from birth, u CAN actually love/celebrate both your GENDER & others EQUALLY!

Preach, Preacher!
2. Olivia Nuzzi
American political journalist who serves as the Washington correspondent for New York magazine thought she might vent about this:
My favorite criticism I get for profiles is that I've "humanized" someone you don't like. Guess what? People are complicated!
— Olivia Nuzzi (@Olivianuzzi) March 18, 2017
Lots of things can be true at once. Someone can do something awful & be funny, have bad beliefs & be compelling. Reality isn't black & white
— Olivia Nuzzi (@Olivianuzzi) March 18, 2017
And Nicole came back with this.
Someone can contribute to removing your right to choose, vote, see a doctor, and eat but get to know them! They're not so bad! https://t.co/lX82rCKefO

Darn!
3 Mark Essien
Mark Essien, founder of hotelsng wants a good number of things:
i. More contributors to ecosystem development
ii. People in Tech to pay it forward.
So many co-working spaces in Lagos with big halls – everyone should contribute to eco-system development https://t.co/NImfKPKMVj
— Mark Essien (@markessien) March 18, 2017
Our office is just not big enough – bigger companies should also contribute space for developer meetups… https://t.co/e6Azr7jInY
— Mark Essien (@markessien) March 18, 2017
The people really helping the eco-system develop: @ridwan_olalere and #forloop, @hotelsng, Andela, Google, Cafe Neo, @OoTheNigerian
— Mark Essien (@markessien) March 18, 2017
More companies need to contribute more – you won't have a market you don't invest in. Do your part.
— Mark Essien (@markessien) March 18, 2017
Many tech companies don't invest in developers and developer eco-system because they see developers as replaceable, instead of company heart
— Mark Essien (@markessien) March 18, 2017
The heart of a tech eco-system are developers, designers and digital marketers.
— Mark Essien (@markessien) March 18, 2017
Not founders, social impact entrepreneurs, investors, hub owners, etc. Those are supporting staff for what engineers develop.
— Mark Essien (@markessien) March 18, 2017
everything going in helps. But we must not lose track of what the core is. No science without scientists.
— Mark Essien (@markessien) March 18, 2017
we need a big hall any developer can walk into and work. When events come, they hold there.
— Mark Essien (@markessien) March 18, 2017
an underrated,yet-to-peak,game-changing industry does not need unnecessary divisions & segregations at such a nascent stage?!
— Oga Seyi? (@SplitJones) March 18, 2017
Exactly – we need to focus our money, time and effort on producing good developers, designers, digital marketers. They form foundation. https://t.co/BgHaUcjv4P
— Mark Essien (@markessien) March 18, 2017
My philosophy stays simple – more skilled talent is the base for development. All that increases talent pool increases overall wealth.
— Mark Essien (@markessien) March 18, 2017
But I want to challenge every designer, developer, dig. marketer: you should not end a year without making sure 3 people can do what you do.
— Mark Essien (@markessien) March 18, 2017
Someone invested time in making you better – invest your time too. This is the change that you can bring to your country.

True that.
4. Nedu Money
While Mark Essien is concerned about grave things like ecosystem development, Nedu just wants a baecation.
One day, I too will go on a baecation pic.twitter.com/5QDU0cyNnC

Oluwa o, answer; Amin.
5. Harold Writes
Can one ever win in this Naija? Smack dab in the middle of experimenting with IG live, this happened to Harold.
I just tested the IG live thing. It works. Lol. I'll go back live by in the next 10 minutes.
— Harold (@haroldwrites) March 18, 2017
Okay I'm going back live now.
— Harold (@haroldwrites) March 18, 2017
Video ended. 10 good minutes
— Harold (@haroldwrites) March 18, 2017
Something scary happened whilst I was live.
Nepa took light.
That was the end of the show. Imagine I was live on BBC via skype. Smh.
— Harold (@haroldwrites) March 18, 2017
These people can give & take light whenever they want but they don't want us to pay Nepa bill whenever we like.
— Harold (@haroldwrites) March 18, 2017
Scum!
Commercial break
This has set me into a giggling fit thanks to a friend pic.twitter.com/C8RbpFBSN5

????Freudian-Jungian-Ericsson-Augustine's rhetorics/philosophy- too many ice-breakers for professionals to play around with from these memes https://t.co/pkHQJ28DXs

So El Rufai's 2nd book is now on sale. Nigerians are amazing. They have to be among the most natural entrepreneurs in the world. ????? pic.twitter.com/DGIzu0Tceg

6. Seun Okin for Magu
Testimony time
Blessing time
Children of the Most High, what is it they say? When God closes one door, he opens another door- or is it window? Something will sha open. Men and brethren, this is what happened to Ibrahim Magu. Senate refused that he will be EFCC Chairman twice because DSS said he failed the ‘integrity test’. Well, hello integrity award.
After Magu Failed DSS's Integrity test,Rejected twice by Senate,3days later bags Leadership Newspaper 2016 Person of the Year Award pic.twitter.com/e1yJV5pH2m

Did somebody say glory!
7. Davido
Since the news broke yesterday that Davido might have spawned another offspring, dude first denied it. Now he’s expressed his anger at Punch Newspapers and the internet in general. Do see below:
Eiya
But here’s the alleged picture of the alleged mum (one can’t be too safe)
7 Lade
Moving away from all that indignation, Lade takes us back in time to #EbaCake
Way back, during the military regime, things weren't so good. And you know how little children pester their parents for birthday party.
— Tolulọpẹ Aladire (@ToluBabyGirl) March 18, 2017
When it is time for a child's birthday, parents will invite all the neighborhood kids. And when we are all seated. Bring out the cake
— Tolulọpẹ Aladire (@ToluBabyGirl) March 18, 2017
The first thing we do at the party is to take pictures. ????.
After the pictures,we are served biscuits& drinks. You don't request for cake— Tolulọpẹ Aladire (@ToluBabyGirl) March 18, 2017
Party ends. Then they split the cake. The cake is made with Eba.
Eba is made into the shape of a cake and decorated to look like cake ????— Tolulọpẹ Aladire (@ToluBabyGirl) March 18, 2017
That is #EbaCake

Enjoy your weekend.
