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 just downright ridiculous. We make it our job to take down the names of these noisemakers.
Here’s our list from today:
1 Jay Z
Like his wife always does effortlessly, Jay Z set off a social media storm with the release of his 13th album 4:44. In it, Beyoncé’s album Lemonade came alive as Hov set the record straight on his marital infidelity.
Twitter has not been the same again.
2. Eric Benét
Serial cheater and Halle Berry’s ex husband Eric Benét featured in Jay Z’s album and did not like it one bit so he gave Jigga a piece of his mind.
Then Twitter collectively lost its mind.
[See also]: “The Thread: Halle Berry’s ex Eric Benét claps back at Jay Z and Twitter rains hell”.
3. Omojuwa
Rap fans are loving the 4:44 and talking about the parts that make them tick.
Gram madness
You're on the gram/ holding money to your ear / There's a disconnect/ We don't call that money over here – Jay Z | God bless this brother!
— JJ. Omojuwa (@Omojuwa) June 30, 2017
Like he did to autotune, Jay Z has firmly ended the low habit of people taking photos with money. Jigga is the Truth.

Shots fired on Migos and the rest. LooooooooooooooooooooL https://t.co/ByjZjqnllv

4. Imoh Umoren
Genius stroke, this strategy that Bet and Jay have employed. At least Imoh and a few others think so:
Jay Z is a marketing genius…put some Lemonade reference so the Beyoncé crowd can chat about it. No wonder this guy is successful
— Big Cuz (@imohumoren) June 30, 2017
He showed them, didn’t he.

5. Toke Makinwa
So Toke Makinwa is a hip hop head too? Anyways, the aspect of Jay Z’s album that piqued her interest was… you guessed it: Cheating.
When is JayZ coming on Twitter oooo, we have some questions 😂😂😂😂 he cheated on our queen, ha! My chewest! HOV is back ya'll

6. Isimah Odey thinks Nigerians should be concerned about more important matters, like:
Nigerians following people who have light to argue about Jay-Z & Beyonce. You people won't come let's gather hands to look for our President

8. Folorunso Alakija
As if to corroborate what Jay Z’s album’s about, the richest woman in Nigeria tweeted:
Refuse to be lazy. Don’t expect God to bless the work of your hands if your hands are empty. You must work towards something. Get busy.

9. Bankole’s headache is different. It’s about Use of English:
It's feedback, not feedbacks. It's content, not contents. It's software. Equipment. Code. And so on. People.

10. Amara Nwankpa vs Jag Bros
The conversation in Nigeria- after Hushpuppi and ridiculous beefs- is restructuring.
For the love of restructuring, here’s their debate:

An isolated case of bad management does not mean restructuring of our so-called federal system isn't necessary. We need to restructure
— T. Bello (@tbello007) June 30, 2017
https://twitter.com/adetolaamodu/status/880749194344095744
The federal govt su pretending over a larger chunk of revenue is messing with funds too. Restructuring is a solutions to these agitations
— T. Bello (@tbello007) June 30, 2017
While restructuring of Nigeria is important, it is secondary. Restructuring Nigerians mindset is primary and paramount.
— Handsome (@Ani_handsome) June 30, 2017
Allocations to Central Government surrogates don't count as arguments against restructuring. Unless you don't understand governance. https://t.co/LcfF3h2tyR

When you decentralise, you also take away 70% of the discretionary powers of governors over revenue. That empowers state assemblies. Etc.

2. Very unlikely you will end up with the same people. https://t.co/7djk9Z0oTF
— Amara Nwankpa (@Nwankpa_A) June 30, 2017
If the center is not that powerful, it will have less influence in how local leaders emerge. Incentives for local governance will change. https://t.co/7djk9Z0oTF

My foolish decision to squander my inheritance doesn't give my neighbours the right to claim my father's house. https://t.co/vNdfvPKagj

Fiscalisation of oil and allocating it from the center works differently from a system that empowers citizens within federating entities. https://t.co/7djk9Z0oTF

Hmmm.
