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 Funmi Iyanda
The media entrepreneur is singing the praises of her 16-year-old daughter who has now ventured into the creative world.
See below:
2 month ago, my daughter Mo Odegbami, 16, told me she'd spend the summer creating a magazine. She wouldn't accept help or money from me.

She also told me not to say a word, l don't follow her on most SM or post pics of her, she's never allowed it and l respect her personhood.
— Funmi Iyanda (@Funmilola) September 9, 2017
I have no idea where she's taking it but here it is https://t.co/djOFzail61. If you like it, do subscribe and follow them on SM.

Nice.
2. Dr Joe Abah
El Rufai has been given the go-ahead for 2019 by TwitterNG while Atiku has been axed; Dankwambo and Peter Obi are being urged to consider it and Joe Abah just wants his beauty sleep.
If what we are obsessing about in 2017 is who will run in 2019, not on the conditionalities to set for WHOEVER runs, wake me up in 2021.?
— Dr. Joe Abah (@DrJoeAbah) September 9, 2017
If we focus more on well-articulated policies and track records of performance, NOT personalities, things will improve.

But, as you know, the CULT OF PERSONALITY reigns supreme in Nigerian politics. It is a cancer destroying us.

You will wake in 2021 only to get right back to sleep as the same process is repeated. It's sad. Very sad.
— K.C Ujam (@kcujam) September 9, 2017
It is clear that the process that culminate in those conditionalities is more about us, the electorate, not entirely about the politicians.
— femi (@pointsayer) September 9, 2017
Voters in Shogunle and Sungeru support conditionalities that are diametrically opposed even when confronted with same basic challenges.

Lool enjoy your sleep Dr, and welcome to Nigerian Politics. ? https://t.co/TlmP9xABQM

4. Sam Hart
This ought to fall under life hacks, reality check, how to rip off the band aid etc, etc.
When you decide to stop accepting people's BS,they say someone else is influencing you. They can't believe you can decide to call their bull

5. Gabby Sidibe
Fenty by Rihanna is all the beauty industry is talking about these days, never mind that Kim K launched a new collection of contour kits a few weeks ago.
People of colour are going gaga over the 40 plus shades she’s made available for women, particularly for darker women whom the beauty industry regularly disregards.
This is Gabby’s review:

7. Feyi Fawehinmi
Feyi makes a case for teaching Nigerian English.
"Ma fren, will you come over here now"
"I'm not your friend, I'm your son!"
Don't know how to explain this stuff to these boys
— tyro (@DoubleEph) September 9, 2017
Hahah. I once said "Shut your dirty mouth" to a born and raised in America Nigerian friend. He was so hurt that I called his mouth dirty
— OnlyAyos (@onlyAyos) September 9, 2017
I was so confused. Like… No your breath is fine, homie.
— OnlyAyos (@onlyAyos) September 9, 2017
??? people need to be brought up to speed with Nigerian English
— tyro (@DoubleEph) September 9, 2017
Lol.Our friendship was salvaged only when I asked a bunch of 'homebred' Nigerians to tell him it's just an expression. No need for mouthwash

Funny.
