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 James Spann
The most powerful hurricane to hit the United States, Hurricane Harvey, is still rolling through the state of Texas and from all indications, will continue to do so until Tuesday.
Harvey is going nowhere anytime soon. Severe flooding threat continues through at least Tuesday. pic.twitter.com/LMWBHKqW5I

3. Washington Post
The newspaper is being thoughtful to its readers:

4. Onye Nkuzi
The Kaduna Youth Declaration is still a contentious issue, despite Buhari’s speech calling Nigeria’s unity settled. There are reports that their utterances have the backing of higher powers. In this vein, Onye Nkuzi tells us a proverb:
On the "Arewa Youths" matter, I remember this proverb;
"If a father sends his son to steal, the son will break down doors with both feet".

5. Adetutu Balogun
Adetutu reports shooting in the East. Earlier today, we reported that 3 persons died in the Owerri Market protest.We hope the FGis monitoring this unnecessary use of force.
Shooting at unarmed civilians!!!
