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 Joshua
The FG has said its Federal Executive Council meeting will not hold this week because too much holiday enjoyment caught them off guard. Joshua and Aisha Yesufu are not pleased:
They know the people that they would sell such stories to. Those that hung their brains to dry after May 29th 2015 https://t.co/iy1lMv4fcx

.@AsoRock you actually put this out as reason our country's Cabinet postponed its meeting? And tweeted from Govt of Nigeria's handle? Wawu! https://t.co/ibZkgY2yht

2. Neorise subs these category of people:
Three set of people you can never Advice:
1. A woman in love.
2. A man with money.
3. A person who supports Buhari. pic.twitter.com/LuSyoXmqxG— N E O R I S E (@neorise_) September 5, 2017
Thankfully, there are people who can be advised- at least in matters of the heart.
[The Thread]: “What men really want”
3. Kayode Ogundamisi wants Nigerians to shout it from the rooftop that Nigeria is out of recession.
Nigeria Officially Out Of Recession but that won't trend on Social Media.
Second Quarter 2017 GDP Grows 0.55%
— Kayode Ogundamisi (@ogundamisi) September 5, 2017
However, like Tunji Andrews said, we’re still on fragile ground. Moreover, Nigerians are yet to see the difference in their pockets, so many are not feeling Ogundamisi’s sentiments:
Is recession simply a matter of numbers & percentages? How has the quality of life improved?

[In case you missed it]: “This “out of recession” is nothing to get excited over”

Co-founder of Transparency International waded into the dispute. This is her two cents:
I absolutely admire & applaud the work of @nigerianstat under the leadership of @sgyemikale . Great work on Recession Data while it lasted??

Hehehe. Inflation. GDP data. Some of you are just too funny. What you need is a CULTURE of accepting the Truth no matter how it hurts you.
— Oby Ezekwesili (@obyezeks) September 5, 2017
One side disputes the inflation data because it makes FG look bad. And then celebrates the GDP growth rate data cos it makes FG look good.
— Oby Ezekwesili (@obyezeks) September 5, 2017
Other side applauds Inflation data cos it makes FG look bad. And then angrily tears @ NBS cos the GDP Growth Rate makes FG look good. Hahaha

Economic Data must have INTEGRITY & not be subject to your respective political whims. Whether you like any Data or hate it, na you sabi.✍️️

5. Samira
Samira is celebrating 13 years being sickle-cell free:
Born with Sickle Cell, got cured in 2004 through Allogenic Bone Marrow Transplant, checked my Genotype today for the 3rd time, I'm still AA.
— Samira Sanusi (@Saamira_S) September 5, 2017
Sometimes being cured still feels like a dream, even after 13 years of no crisis. So I'm a little obsessed with getting re-re-re-tested.
