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 just downright ridiculous. We make it our job to take down the names of these noisemakers.
Here’s our list from today:
1 Neymar
Neymar’s move to PSG has Barca fans eating their hearts out and Nigerians wondering why they ever bothered to study professional courses:
FC Barcelona evaded taxes, fought off clubs, hid funds, changed presidents, and sat out two transfer windows in order to sign Neymar.

Barca broke every law in the book to sign Neymar and now he's just left them. Lmao.

This Neymar thing feels like I got cheated on. Sad now but at least I know the trash is out of my life.

2. Nathaniel Bassey
Our favourite music minister is a Barca fan. And he’s alright with Neymar’s decision:
HELLO Neymar, it's okay to go. We are still cool without you. We've got Messi etal…??. Thanks all the same. @FCBarcelona
— Nathaniel Bassey (@nathanielblow) August 2, 2017
Oh Neymar, there is only one direction to go from @FCBarcelona and that's backwards.

£222M and £515,000 per week.
I don't blame Neymar. If it's me I won't even tell anybody you guys would just see me in PSG training.

Please is this transfer market or Arms Procurement Budget?
And all I need is £2,000 per month as a Doctor and I'm set o.
See my life Sir!

Based on the UK's average salary, it would take someone 19 years to earn what Neymar gets in a week.
I love football but that's a joke.

But wait a minute o, so we were sold lies?
You know what I find hilarious about this Neymar transfer? Our parents spent lotsa time making sure we never played football. Here we are…

No be small thing o. In those days if my old man caught me playing football, na me and koboko go discuss that day. Just imagine …$$$$$$

3. Dr Joe Abah is concerned with a different question entirely:
Erm…sorry o. What is Neymar's expected transfer fee relative to Nigeria's GDP?
— Dr. Joe Abah (@DrJoeAbah) August 2, 2017
Answer:
Neymar = €222,000,000 x 360(CBN Rate today)= N79,920,000,000
9ja's GDP 2016= $405B or 162,000,000,000,000
That's 0.049% of our GDP Sir.— Beth Lee ?? (@El_Bethino) August 2, 2017
He digs deeper
Thank you so much. It's good to know maths o. Please what will it cost each 185m Nigerian if we were to contribute to buy him?
— Dr. Joe Abah (@DrJoeAbah) August 2, 2017
180,000,000 Nigerians will have to pay N444 each.
— Beth Lee ?? (@El_Bethino) August 2, 2017
Oh boy.
4. Japheth Omojuwa
So in this running feud between Governor Wike and Amaechi, former governor of Rivers state and current Minister of Transport, Wike has reportedly revoked the C of O of Novotel, a 4-star hotel Amaechi preferred to lodge in. Omojuwa’s insult is strong.
Reaction:
Infantile tantrums. Our political philosophy is ;"You break my toy I seize yours" So called educated,well travelled & enlightened adults.

Whatever problem you may have with others, being abusive & violent is not the solution. It doesn't solve anything. It only makes it worse.

6. Fela Kuti
