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:
If you’ve been on Nigerian social media a minute, you already know that it doesn’t take much for Nigerians to rile themselves up; also, they especially excel at making mountains out of mole hills.
Take this picture Drake took with Tekno and posted on IG. That was all it required for the Wizkid-Tekno-Davido fan clash to start.

We know you love amebo, so let’s dig in.
1 Uche Daniel
It always starts with provocation and Tekno’s fans were on hand to supply ample shade. Suddenly, Tekno was pushed to no 1 on the billboard.
If we are being truthful, “musically” Tekno has more to give than Wizkid.

Drake is actually feeling and listening to Tekno who has more to give than Iyeyeye 😊😊😊 pic.twitter.com/cRc2VLo2uS

2. @Iam_Abdulaxis
Then someone had to allude to the ‘Come Closer’ incident that didn’t quite pan out for Starboy.

Nigerians, sha.
3. Onome chose a different tack: shade-free congratulations.

4. @OneXMind
Ooooooooh, but it came a little too late. Wizkid fans had already caught the shade and started wielding swords. We bring you ‘The Clash’, TwitterNG style.

Wiz conquered Africa, switched the sound and conquered the international scene, the sftos album is a major proof that u don't need to be tied down with just one kind of music, diversity makes a great artist

All affiliates of the Starboy are all on the right path. Can't say much about the other 🐸

At the end of that argument, what did we learn? Absolutely nothing. Elvis summarised it spectacularly for us.

7. Davido
Oh, and this is where Davido makes his grand entrance
TEKNO!!!! 🔥🔥🔥 u deserve am die!!!! For the culture!!!

To which Tekno responded

You see how foolish this fan battle is?
Tekno and Drake are in the studio rather than be happy at the inroads we are making
We have turned it to a Drake and wizkid were never in the studio together
We are we like this as a people
Why the drawback and bad belle

Davido achieves something, they drag WizKId into it
WizKid achieves something, they drag Davido into it
Tekno achieves something, Wizkid and Davido fans start a war
What is really the problem???

8. Chydee is all of us
Two things are baffling me this morning.
1) A kid was bullied, but because the mom has made racist posts before, people are saying snide things about the kid?
2) Tekno and Drake are making music together, but people are making it about Wizkid? Yoruba vs Igbo?
What a world.

9. Favour puts it in perspective.

And Rebel knocks it into the basket.

By the way, you should know:
Tekno linking up with Drake is a plus, but people throwing shade at Wizkid with it makes no sense. They have 3 songs. Come Closer went gold in Canada, Silver in UK. One Dance hit 1 BILLION streams, won 3 BBMAs, 2 iHeart Radio, 1 ASCAP, 1 Echo awards. Tek has a lot to offer too.
