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 Trump expressed his displeasure over the criticisms thrown at Ivanka for briefly taking his seat during the G-20 summit.
When I left Conference Room for short meetings with Japan and other countries, I asked Ivanka to hold seat. Very standard. Angela M agrees!

He just had to rope Chelsea Clinton into it.
If Chelsea Clinton were asked to hold the seat for her mother,as her mother gave our country away, the Fake News would say CHELSEA FOR PRES!

2. Chelsea Clinton
Like mother, like daughter, Chelsea wasted no time giving Trump a taste of her bite.
Good morning Mr. President. It would never have occurred to my mother or my father to ask me. Were you giving our country away? Hoping not. https://t.co/4ODjWZUp0c

Oooh, girl. 116k retweets to Trump’s miserly 19k one, who’s the winner in this battle?
America picks Chelsea.

3. Aisha Buhari
While Trump tackled a former president’s daughter, our president’s wife and Senator Shehu Sani shared secret messages on Facebook. Is it not a secret when they are using animal farm speak?
My colleague attempted to unravel the mystery but until the parties tell us, we don’t know for sure.

The part I like most:
Hyenas: Great idea! Who needs a king?
No king, no king! La la la la la la!
Scar: Idiots! There will be a king!
