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.
Leaders of Joint Nigeria Crisis Action Committee (JN-CAC), launched National Day of Mourning, denouncing the level of impunity and frequency of violent killings in the country. The day was marked by a series of symbolic actions such as “mourning at Unity Fountain” and so on.
Here’s our list from today:
1. Jibrin Ibrahim
As we mourn the dead, lets make the peace. Very many Nigerians have been killed in violence all over the country especially Zamfara, Benue, Kaduna, Taraba.
Find the killers, prosecute them
Avoid hate speech
Stop conspiracy theories targeting entire ethnic & religious groups

Jibrin has said it all. What else do you want to hear?

Politically motivated? We cannot work on allegations. Nothing will move that way.

The Nigerian embassy in Pretoria refused to accept our letter even after we waited for at least an hour. So I’m tweeting it here. We shall not be deterred even though the disregard for human life & dignity is palpable at every level of the #Nigerian government #NigeriaMourns pic.twitter.com/WdVyFsfJqU

We remember Ikorodu (Badoo), we remember civil servants all over the country who die of hunger, we remember girls who die from rape…

As #NigeriaMourns Who are the Victims? The dead and indeed all of us,who are gradually losing our sense of human solidarity or empathy & who no longer feel outrage about these senseless killings! Let's rise & tell FGN to stop killing us by their inaction! #NationalDayOfMourning pic.twitter.com/RQU7t7nAq4

As a follow-up on my visualisation on Boko Haram's activities and to commemorate the #NationalDayofMourning, I made this visualisation to shed some light on the herdsmen conflict in Nigeria. https://t.co/tw2ho3PRpL#OneDeathTooMany @EiENigeria @cchukudebelu @julietkego @segalink pic.twitter.com/kf3j0iHUM1
