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
As Hurricane Irma heads for Trump’s beach houses, Trump tweets love for his coast guard. Could be code for save my house. ?
Our incredible U.S. Coast Guard saved more than 15,000 lives last week with Harvey. Irma could be even tougher. We love our Coast Guard!

Of course, Lagos peeps fell on her:
My friend please stop mocking us. Didn't you see people spending 6 hours in Lagos traffic yesterday? 20 minutes is a stroll please.

20 minutes in a stationary car is a traumatic experience. I can't wish that on anyone.
