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 Donald Trump
Donald Trump has been making news today for more wrong reasons than right. First was this hand wrestling match:
President Trump and newly-elected French President Emmanuel Macron exchanged a white-knuckled handshake https://t.co/gqppj3UeyA pic.twitter.com/fSZGMJCAX2

Apparently, although Marie Le Pen was his favourite, Trump went ahead to inform Macron this:
Trump denied he supported National Front's Le Pen in France's election. "You were my guy'' he told Macron today, French officials say.

I wonder if there is a certain freedom that comes with not having to worry about anything you previously said … https://t.co/lOVSd1vAfI

2. J.K Rowling
Along with half of America, writer of the popular Harry Potter series is exaperated with Trump’s antics.
Donald Trump literally shoved a NATO leader, Montenegro Prime Minister, to take a spot at the front. Who does that?
Watch:
You tiny, tiny, tiny little man.

3. Acting President Osinbajo
Judging by the reactions to this video, we can say Osinbajo has sugar in his mouth. The dude, sorry AG was spitting rhymes and bars in all the right places.

I get those emails from the VP's office everyday and what it's made me realise is how boring the job of Nigerian president can be

Since Obasanjo days, some pay people who pay someone just to have an audience with Mr President…

5. Courtroom troubles
Like every other proffession, dealing with clients can be tough, especially in instances like this:
I remember handling a criminal case at the magistrate court and my client was asked guilty or not guilty. Baba said guilty with explanation

I wanted to die after taking pains to explain to this man. because he watches movies "Olùwà mi mo jebi pelu àlàyé" luckily court didn't hear
— Lagos TroubleMaker (@Agbejoro_) May 25, 2017
How did the judge react?
— mj (@slysage) May 25, 2017
Luckily the magistrate did not hear him clearly. I turned and shouted at him to say Not guilty
— Lagos TroubleMaker (@Agbejoro_) May 25, 2017
