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 Chadwick Boseman
Media houses are calling it Marvel’s most breathtaking movie yet based on its newly released trailer. And we agree. The Marvel flick will be in cinemas February next year. The film’s superhero, T’ Challa is excited.

Apparently, Gov Rochas Okorocha has a soft spot for President Zuma of South Africaaaa, which inspired him to erect a statue in his honour.
Omojuwa simply wanted to know if these others were in line for one as well.

Apparently, Gov Okorocha did not take it lightly.
The sculptor is already at work! https://t.co/8XxqFc7PCP

5. Olu Famous
There’s a new hashtag on Twitter -#Metoo- which women are using to share their sexual harassment stories. Here’s Onyeka’s too.

However, is there really merit to Onyeka’s story? Elnathan John and Chude discuss.

Min of Nigeria’s Finance gives us her takeaways from her latest trip:
In the medium-term we're focusing Nigeria's debt strategy more on external borrowing, to
1. Avoid crowding out the private sector.
2. Reduce the cost of debt servicing, and
3. Shift the balance of our debt portfolio from short-term to longer-term instruments. 2/— Kemi Adeosun (@HMKemiAdeosun) October 16, 2017
10. Amara Nwankpa
What do you know about Olaudah Equiano and his place in history? See below.
Today is the 272nd Birthday of Olaudah Equiano, the African author whose autobiography exposed the realities of the slave trade.

Olaudah Equiano was known as "Gustavus Vassa" during his lifetime.

His autobiography was the earliest written work that compared the customs of Jews to that of "Eboe" (Ibo) people.
