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. Daily Post NGR; Updates247NG
In the beginning, there were viral media publications. These media houses tweeted about these incidents of violence around Africa.

And then there was Jasper. He wondered aloud why incidents of violence against men by women were not being talked about.

A little sarcasm
Why did the patriarchal Nigerian media choose today of all days to report it? 😏😑 https://t.co/zed9A4mDdF

5. Lucas
Then sadist Twitter rears its ugly head; cites reason why the South African lady was burnt to death.
PSA: Not an eyewitness report. Take it a pinch of salt.

all I'm saying is… Death isn't enough punishment for violent/non-violent curving. That's all.

I can't correct your view, I'm not even trying to. I'm just trying to get you to see it from another side.

Doesn’t stupidity reek all the way from SA?
Reaction: Scratching our heads
There's something fundamentally wrong with a lot of South African men. Why are they so violent? https://t.co/azeS10pnHj

Oh, but Men are not scum!
Women love the spotlight. Should you take the light away from them, they come at you. Can men express their concerns too, please?

Comeback
Reducing valid concerns from women about sexual abuse to 'loving the spotlight'? This is dismissive and patriarchal https://t.co/Z5UCYL6uhw

Some people really do reason with the restrictive capacity of a video game character, on Twitter.

Listen up:
Get close to girls that grew up in Nigeria and when they feel okay to open up to you, you'll hardly find one that hasn't been assaulted.

Before it gets too dark and gloomy, let’s steer away for a sec.
What's the oldest-surviving (privately-owned) Nigerian company that you know?
— Tolu Ogunlesi, MON (@toluogunlesi) May 11, 2017
Domino Stores owned by @benmurraybruce family was founded as a supermarket chain in the 1960s. Not sure if the business still exists.
— Tolu Ogunlesi, MON (@toluogunlesi) May 11, 2017
And along came
Office of the President, Republic of Nigeria. 1960 to date. Privately owned by thesame political circle of the old guard. https://t.co/D3LCctTRXv
