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 Oby Ezekwesili
BBOG activist Oby Ezekwesili is excited about the new Deputy Governor of CBN.
Great news of appointment of our very dear @aishahmad to Deputy Governor of CBN!Hope she heads a Directorate she can play to her strength.??
— Oby Ezekwesili (@obyezeks) October 6, 2017
Just like @hadizabalausman , the Deputy Governor-Designate for CBN, @aishahmad is one of our brilliant young women. Let's PUSH MORE OF THEM!
— Oby Ezekwesili (@obyezeks) October 6, 2017
I have maintained a DEEP DESIRE to see their generation of younger women SMASH ALL CEILINGS that remain & SURPASS our Generation of women.

2. Cheta Nwanze
Tomorrow will mark the 50th anniversary of the Asaba massacre. To commemorate this dastardly event in history, a memorial was organized. Prof. Soyinka AN Bishop Kukah left Nigerians words to ponder on.
See below:

"The need for restitution has been understood only by Gowon. What of the actual murderers? They were rewarded" – Soyinka #AsabaMemorial

"Failure to make restitution, is what leads to communal and social disintegration." – Wole Soyinka. #AsabaMemorial

Wole Soyinka IS a great man. #AsabaMemorial

"It is a national shame that it took 2 American profs to research Asaba Massacre. We are back in the days of Mungo." Kukah #AsabaMemorial

#Nigeria is the only country where people die in numbers not in names.

3. Reno Omokri
Political commentator, Pastor Reno drops his two cents about the scandal in NNPC:
Never in the history of Nigeria have we had an administration so openly partial to one group of Nigerians and biased against other groups.
— Reno Omokri (@renoomokri) October 6, 2017
Wow! So PMB has finally met with Kachikwu! Moral of the story: If the President refuses to see you write a letter and leak it to the press.
— Reno Omokri (@renoomokri) October 6, 2017
I like it when scandals like the Baru $26 billion are exposed because it may mean some Chibok girls may be freed to divert public attention.

4. Perkins Onome
Perkins is scandalized by the deterioration of this road. He’s appealed to the relevant authorities to do something about it.
I have traveled to many cities in Nigeria. This Enugu – Onitsha road is the most dangerous and unfortunate I have seen. Very sad. ? pic.twitter.com/X3dt19sW3U
— Chief Perkins (@poabaje) October 6, 2017
Nigeria is too wealthy to have any road such as this in any part of the country – how much more the more Enugu – Onitsha strategic axis.
— Chief Perkins (@poabaje) October 6, 2017
We must begin to demand for good governance it form of effective basic infrastructure development; going forward. Enough of the laziness.
— Chief Perkins (@poabaje) October 6, 2017
On the state of this road; which have been like this for over 4 years I was told. I expect the Governors of Enugu x Anambra to act urgently pic.twitter.com/4asTVtgJOS
— Chief Perkins (@poabaje) October 6, 2017
Please, if you have recently gone through this danger road. Kindly share a photo under this thread. Many thanks #FixEnuguOnitshaRoad
— Chief Perkins (@poabaje) October 6, 2017
This is the major road, if not only from Benin City to Abuja. The Benin – Ekpoma road is in a shameful state.

Reactions:
LOL. You guys keep asking the governors to act and not FG. https://t.co/zeBsrwCRJe
— mmuö (@mmuoIX) October 6, 2017
Tell the federal government, the road networks in the state are in good condition. This is a federal road.
— Ikechukwu (@Iyke__) October 6, 2017
Oga thats an FG road. Gov, Obiano graded it before xmas last year. Tell your FG to fix it. Anambra and Enugu funds are for the d states https://t.co/fPc54UzevF
— E M E K A (@EmekaEK) October 6, 2017
Enugu state govt under Chime rebuilt the Enugu side of the old Enugu-Anambra road.
That is the road most ppl now use b/w both states https://t.co/PYGM6p4Pqw
— afrispheric (@afrispheric) October 6, 2017
It is a Federal road. I believe Enugu state tried to make the old road or sections of it better but it belongs to FG. https://t.co/OX4GOJOuGg

5. Dr Aminu Gamawa
Following in the footsteps of Senator Shehu Sani, Dr Gamawa throws thinly veiled subs at Buhari. We assume it’s in reference to the $26 billion contract scandal at the NNPC, of which President Buhari is Minister.
If a leader has a bad team it is not the fault of the team, it’s the fault of the leader who allowed the corrupt & incompetent in his team.
— Dr. Aminu Gamawa (@aminugamawa) October 6, 2017
6. Oluyomi Ojo
Some Nigerians took the World Teachers Day celebration a little farther by seeking out their teachers for photo ops. Isn’t that sweet? Here’s Oluyomi’s teacher.
This is Mrs Alli, my class teacher JSS1 circa 1993/1994. To celebrate World Teachers' Day, I went looking for her. She bursted into tears. pic.twitter.com/Yo1sAtjGdd
— Oluyomi Ojo (@OluyomiOjo) October 6, 2017
This touched me really. Wish I could reconnect with my PHE teacher Uncle Law… I should probably look for him. Thanks for this Yomi ? https://t.co/7Rr1GrDzq5

7. Juliet Kego
Also on the bandwagon is poet Juliet.
#WorldTeachersDay I searched for her for years, then in July 2015, at a capacity training program for Teachers/Retiree Teachers, I FOUND HER

In sunglasses, to my right is ageless FOLASADE ODUKOYA, my PRY school teacher! Such a gem!?? #NoWords! To my left, Mrs Ejiogu, headmistress? pic.twitter.com/cz0RizdmMK
— Juliet 'Kego (@julietkego) October 6, 2017
A thread cannot capture the magic and wonder of Mrs FOLASADE ODUKOYA, my primary school teacher and the Fasholas in my life. Na story/book.. https://t.co/4bN6yjD0HC

In other news, Trump has done this:
