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
President Buhari has finally fired the infamous grasscutter and the former DG of NIA, Ayo Oke. Oby Ezekwesili joins TwitterNG to celebrate the good news- while prodding him to do more.
President .@MBuhari and VP @ProfOsinbajo One Good Step in the Journey of a Thousand Miles. Quick may the rest of the Steps be! https://t.co/i1MybaryoQ

Getting fired for being a thief is not enough of a deterrent. They must suffer lawful consequences, in full! https://t.co/v1IoLLeg7D

2. Ayobami
Buhari’s choice of SGF successor has already got tongues wagging.
Babachir stole money and chose his friend as successor. Boss

3. STER
After this young man’s tweet went viral over the weekend, Stand To End Rape urges Twitter Nigeria to find him:
We need to find this person and have him locked up. pic.twitter.com/Ct6PtT8Sqz

This is appalling, help us find Enyeobi Donatus. We need his location and contact details of his employers. Some said he works at NPA #RT pic.twitter.com/TvFB75JUrT

He's not sorry and will probably rape again if not brought to book. We have to find him now! Any information will help, our dm is opened. pic.twitter.com/EXKOwDYLEl

Reactions:
It’s far more useful to find the females he may have raped & help them in bringing charges cos without a victim, finding him achieves little

5. Time ft Netflix
House of Cards actor Kevin Spacey has joined the list of Hollywood actors accused of sexual abuse. In Spacey’s case, he picked an underaged boy, Anthony Pratt.
Twitter lost its mind when Spacey chose to respond to that by coming out as gay. Now according to Netflix, House of Cards will end soon.
'House of Cards' is ending — but Netflix says it's not because of the Kevin Spacey allegations https://t.co/6zDETYv1Lg

Reactions:
I truly always knew he was gay. That's not the problem, the problem is the possible underage victim. He needs to clear that up.

that is sad; it should end bc of the allegations.

Not sure what inspired this argument.
