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. Ebuka
That agbada though…
Well, people have been talking about the design of the agbada Ebuka Obi-Uchendu wore to Banky W and Adesua’s wedding and might not stop – at least not just yet.
On Twitter, of course, someone asked the statue-erecting governor to commission a statue in honour of Ebuka. Ebuka responds:
Hahaha! I don’t want abeg. https://t.co/XGaqKOIi8b

It didn’t stop there.
Someone asked for a remix of a song and Ebuka seemed interested.
I want this remix @IAM_KOKER ?? https://t.co/i4OqEWyppD

3. Senator Shehu Sani
On the Fulani herdsmen.
4. Deji Adeyanju
Is he referring to Willie Obiano’s “landslide victory” in Anambra?
May be we should all focus on our businesses and ignore money collecting Nigerians who are not yet ready to be liberated.
People who sell their votes to the highest bidders.

5. Cassper Nyovest
So the South Africa rapper tweeted about the smoking weed and people came after him?
Anyway, we came across this reply:
This thing of cass talking bad about drugs angered alot of producers and rappers in SA especially the ones who smoke weed and like him, Personally it was not necessary for cass to tweet about that because the industry don't need this hate/pretence thing.
— Mthetheleli (@mthizz_SA) November 20, 2017
His reply:
Firstly, I'm not scared of angering anybody for what I believe in. I believe drugs are bad and it's sad to see what they're doing to our communities. Secondly, someone tweeted saying I am not a rapper cause I don't condone smoking weed and I say #Wanyela. Simple. https://t.co/pqPwBYQif2
— R.M Phoolo (@CassperNyovest) November 20, 2017
I'm not gonna wait to be perfect to share my opinion. Drugs are bad!!! Don't be fooled. Don't ever think you have to use weed or drink lean to be cool. Tswang da. Le ska jutega.

6. Reactions to the death of Alex Ekwueme:
Dr. Alex Ekwueme was a man of peace whose efforts in building bridges of friendship amongst the various peoples of Nigeria remain legendary. He played politics of ideas, principle and purpose and helped bring stability as Vice President in the Second Republic.
— Rt Hon Yakubu Dogara (@YakubDogara) November 20, 2017
He lived a life worthy of emulation and left an indelible mark in the history of Nigeria.
I want to express our heartfelt condolences to the Ekwueme family & the government and people of Anambra state over this irreparable loss. May His gentle soul rest in perfect peace.
— Rt Hon Yakubu Dogara (@YakubDogara) November 20, 2017
I mourn the death of former Vice President, Dr. Alex Ekwueme, a patriot and statesman. His life was marked by an unwavering commitment to the unity and progress of Nigeria; and his personal sacrifices helped lay the foundation for our democracy.
— Muhammadu Buhari (@MBuhari) November 20, 2017
Dr. Ekwueme lived a worthy life, excelled in professional practice, in business, in politics, in philanthropy. He served Nigeria and humanity. We will miss his counsel and wisdom on national issues. May his soul rest in peace.
— Muhammadu Buhari (@MBuhari) November 20, 2017
My condolences go to his family, friends, the Government and people of Anambra State, Ndigbo, and to the entire nation. May God grant his family the fortitude to bear this loss.
— Muhammadu Buhari (@MBuhari) November 20, 2017
Today, I join Ndigbo and the entire nation to mourn the passing of one of Nigeria’s most illustrious sons, H.E. Dr. Alex Ekwueme, our first elected Vice-President.
As we mourn his death, we celebrate his dedication and service to the development of our country.
— Bukola Saraki (@bukolasaraki) November 20, 2017
I will always remember Dr. Alex Ekwueme for his exemplary courage in the face of overwhelming odds — when he stood up to past military regimes, and his dexterity in his personal pursuits as a successful architect, lawyer, businessman and philanthropist.
— Bukola Saraki (@bukolasaraki) November 20, 2017
I pray for God’s strength for Dr. Alex Ekwueme’s family at this difficult time.
May the Almighty in His infinite wisdom and grace continue to guide the family and the nation that he has left behind.
He was a rare man and a great leader, as such, he will be missed.
