Every day, 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 even downright ridiculous. We make it our job to take down the names of these noisemakers.
Here’s our list from today:
1 NASS
The National Assembly is bent on ruining Nigeria, a tweep cries out.
It had earlier been reported that the National Assembly had raised its own budget from N115bn to N125bn.
Here’s a pictorial of what they intend to spend it on:
Just look at this and cry for Nigeria. NASS is designed to ruin this nation. Smh. pic.twitter.com/rNHnQyP2L5

As an insurance prof, I can tell you for free, you CANNOT insure vehicles worth 6.4bn with 1.6bn. Max – 400m
This is RIDICULOUS pic.twitter.com/z9u1bQWxuH

Reactions
Is insurance of vehicles more than 5% of the cost of the vehicles? 5% of N6.4billion is N320million. Why N1.6billion? NASS why ! Why! Why!

How can insurance be 25% of the cost of the cars??? Insurance premium with excess buy back can never be more than 5% @NGRSenate @EiENigeria

Activists get "into bed" with govt then find it hard to hold govt accountable. How else do you explain unusal silence last 2 years …

True! They subjugate you so badly that when the crumbs fall, you rush for it. Thank God for the few that are able to stand up against evil

What a country.
3. Mr Aye Dee
Nigeria’s problems are many: There’s NASS dubious budget, activism that’s for the highest bidder, politicians who can threaten you for opening your ‘windpipe’ because they have the power to.
Speaking of power, Mr Aye Dee has a few thoughts:
Let's not talk about raising literacy rates or reducing infant mortality in the North, lets talk about POWER!!! https://t.co/v95XSaAD4v

Everything scatter scatter.
4. Adebanqie
AdeBanqie’s grouse is not only with NASS. Dino Melaye and Patience Jonathan have stoked his ire too. See why below:
Patience Jonathan is Guest of honour at a book launch, titled Antidotes for Corruption, by Dino Melaye.
Jesus, when are you coming back
— Adebayo Bankole Akintunde (@AdeBanqie) May 15, 2017
Dino Melaye authored a book titled Antidotes for Corruption
Saraki wrote the foreword
Patience Jonathan is Guest launcher

7. Feyi Fawehinmi’s article on Wande Coal’s Iskaba has Twitter NG discussing the Nigerian music industry.
See below:
No one is singing about the times we're in. It's so very odd. No angst, apprehension, signs of recession! It's so divorced from life.

This @DoubleEph piece is so good, l want to lick it. As to the whys of the issue? Another time. Another place. https://t.co/KFzIQ2s72A

Falz is the only one I can really think of right now that really nails the social commentary thing.

Just read your thoughts and I really wonder what history will write about us if the only data available is our songs, I wonder ?

It may be over a decade old but African China's Mr President gives an idea of the 00s and still very relevant now.
— Dame Jayla Peperempe (@Miss_Jayla) May 15, 2017
Interesting read. Historians might also pick up on our religiosity(pick up, osinachi, e.t.c) which also points to a poor economic climate. https://t.co/cOSmdZqyWJ

9ice and Sound Sultan do these things with their lyrics. Then check out traditional musicians – Fuji and Juju. Not a total lost case.

It's an amazing dance song. It's completely impossible to sit still when it's playing https://t.co/2vQoLUlj7H

But I can't lie I love that "Iskaba" song man… in fact that was why I read your article, the picture you used. ??
