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. They range from the awesome and brilliant to the OMG, he didn’t. We have made it our job to take down the names of these noisemakers.
Here’s our list from today:
1. Donald Trump
Following the U.N. resolution declaring Israeli settlements in occupied territories illegal, which saw the U.S. abstaining from voting on, and in fact electing not to veto it after it passed 14 to 0, US President-elect, Donald Trump, tweeted this:
Doing my best to disregard the many inflammatory President O statements and roadblocks.Thought it was going to be a smooth transition – NOT!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 28, 2016
We cannot continue to let Israel be treated with such total disdain and disrespect. They used to have a great friend in the U.S., but…….

not anymore. The beginning of the end was the horrible Iran deal, and now this (U.N.)! Stay strong Israel, January 20th is fast approaching!

The Prime minister of Israel, Netanyahu expressed his gratitude to Donald Trump.
President-elect Trump, thank you for your warm friendship and your clear-cut support for Israel! 🇮🇱🇺🇸@IvankaTrump @DonaldJTrumpJr https://t.co/lURPimG0wS

2. Secretary John Kerry
“Israel can either be Jewish or democratic; it cannot be both.” This is an excerpt from Secretary John Kerry speech to Israel in its staunch defence of its passive role in letting the UN resolution pass. Israel Prime minister was enraged and called it shameful, and pretty much a betrayal. “The conflict is about the Israel’s right to exist, not about illegal settlements,” Netanyahu retorted.
3. Japheth Omojuwa
400 million has been set apart from the 2017 budget for the express purpose of purchasing cars for former Presidents of Nigeria. This news piece got Japhet Omojuwa very upset and he poured out his heart on Instagram. See what he said below.
