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 even just downright ridiculous. We make it our job to take down the names of these noisemakers.
Here’s our list from today:
1 Donald Trump
The Donald has a lot to gripe about today. Things are not going his way at all. Nordstrom cut off his daughter’s clothing line from their stores, his cabinet is not in place and the ruling against the travel ban is yet to be overturned. Sigh.
It is a disgrace that my full Cabinet is still not in place, the longest such delay in the history of our country. Obstruction by Democrats!

My daughter Ivanka has been treated so unfairly by @Nordstrom. She is a great person — always pushing me to do the right thing! Terrible!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 8, 2017
If the U.S. does not win this case as it so obviously should, we can never have the security and safety to which we are entitled. Politics!

But at least this made him smile.
Thank you Brian Krzanich, CEO of @Intel. A great investment ($7 BILLION) in American INNOVATION and JOBS! #AmericaFirst?? pic.twitter.com/76lAiSSQ1l

2 Chidi Okereke (Chydee)
We are livid, along with @Chydee that the Nigerian military thinks it is the A-all and B-all, that Nigerian citizens are at their mercy. How and why will you beat up a diabled person for wearing a camo? How and why will you beat up a Nigerian civilian for wearing a camo? Whatever happened to protecting us?
Before we work our last nerve, please see below

I know impersonation is a big offence, but why would your Military Police beat up a DISABLED person like this? Why? @HQNigerianArmy
— Chidi Okereke (@Chydee) February 8, 2017
What if he didn't have anything else to wear? Did the barbarians wearing your uniform consider that? @HQNigerianArmy

At some point we will have to talk about historical indiscipline that the Nigerian Army has shown towards civilians.
It has to stop. https://t.co/ErhDyNSrjI

You can say that again.

Dear God.
3. Japheth Omojuwa
Today has been quite heated on Twitter, with quite a number of people expressing their rage against Chude Jideonwo, who wrote this article. But Omojuwa ran interference. This is what he had to say about the matter.
I blame Chude. He made GEJ weak & clueless. He made Buhari run, forced APC to give him the ticket, forced 15.4 million Nigerians to vote him

4. @idomagirl also lent her voice to the debate.

Scary.
6. Crowd Kings Empire artiste, Jayseen
Even more scary is this jam of Jayseen’s. And to think it was inspired because of a spelling error

Still standing with Nigeria, this one. Because she’s all we’ve got. And we choose to swim, not sink.
