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’s criticism of Friday and Saturday’s White Spremacists rallies was taken with a pinch of salt, forcing him to get in front of the cameras and call them out.

President Reagans fans think Trump’s condemnation is a little too late. They refer him to his predecessor.
Ronald Regan pre recorded a message for the alt-right, neo nazis, bigots and racists.

2. Mike German
Speaking in an interview with AJplus, Mike German, former FBI agent said “the chances of you killed by a white supremacist are much greater than the chances of you being killed by a Muslim terrorist”.

3. @Uwnaynaa
Over the weekend, in a bid to distance themselves from the violent actions of white supremacists in Charlottesville, Virginia, the phrase “We’re not our grandparents” began to circulate. @Uwnaynaa takes a hammer to that rhetoric.

5. Ikechukwu
let’s move on to a different president- ours- who’s also taking some heat for being absent from office.
Ikechukwu is curious about Tinubu’s role:
I know educated Nigerians who voted Buhari cos of Tinubu's vision
Who has heard PIM from Tinubu in 2017 😀😀
No talking while eating

ASUU has embarked on an indefinite strike. Perfect time to call for prayer and fasting, as Juliet has:
Day 1 OF FASTING & PRAYERS
May ASUU strike be resolved. Millions of Youths at home is just not a good idea, at all. Not ever, especially now— Whole Women Network Co-op (@wwncoop) August 14, 2017
Reaction:
While a believer, I knw dt faith wtout wrks is dead. Nigerians hve prayed loads. It's high time they work (act). Get on the streets
