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 downright ridiculous. We make it our job to take down the names of these noisemakers.
Here’s our list from today:
1 P. Diddy
Yes, it’s 4 months to the end of the year and you are yet to make to a dent in those New Year goals, fret not, P. Diddy has some inspired words for you.

Amin o. We can’t wait.
2. Kenyans
Another set of people who can’t wait are the Kenyans. Today is the election that will decide who leads them for the next couple of years and they’ve resorted to creative ways to get their man:

3. Deji Adeyanju
Deji teamed up with Charly Boy and other Nigerians to protest the continued absence of President Buhari. And the Nigerian police reacted. WATCH:

Dear @ProfOsinbajo, please handle with care. Tell Nigerian Police not to get overzealous. They should remain gentle. https://t.co/Lin2jFtWjA

This is an unpopular protest, that is why wise and reasonable Nigerias didn't join you.we are ready to re-vote and re-vote PMB again n again

This is thoroughly disgraceful and a slap on the face to everyone that voted for this govt.https://t.co/OU47SfQmuc

I campaigned &voted for PMB in 3 pres elections. His health has made him unable to deliver the change we sought thru him. HE SHOULD RESIGN.
— Frank Cityzen (@TundeEmekaAbu) August 8, 2017
I voted for PMB in 2015 &til now I stil love him. But honestly, I think the president should resign and face his health. Health is wealth

Thanks for loving him.
More thanks for your call for him to resign.I don't love him but will start once he resigns.#ResumeOrResign

LMAOOOO.
2. Wale Gates
Auntie Lauretta is not laughing at what Deji and the boys are doing. She actually believes it is disrespectful for anyone to probe into matters of a private citizen. Twitter is understandably upset.

Define Private
Buhari is a private citizen, living in a presidential mansion, flying in a presidential jet, enjoying presidential perks.

Sigh.
4. Onye Nkuzi
Nigeria these days is one long endless sigh. Onye Nkuzi’s contemplations are gloomy:
We've had eight military dictators since Independence. If we could produce a Paul Kagame or a Jerry Rawlings, we would have, long ago.

What about Ironsi, that would have been our JK Rawlings

No. He didn't have the balls to execute the officers that should have been executed for carrying out the first coup.

5. Elnathan John
What isn’t debatable is the state these children have been left in for so long. Who did this to us, Nigerians? Who stole our milk of human kindness.

The things that make me saddest for Nigeria are things like this. It's not what our leaders do to us, it's what we do to each other. https://t.co/urp56uukwj

Another person speaking up about injustice to his person is the President of the United States, Donald Trump.
After 200 days, rarely has any Administration achieved what we have achieved..not even close! Don't believe the Fake News Suppression Polls!

7. Dr Joe Abah
Our favourite civil servant, who keeps his word and doesn’t trade in fake news, won a bet that this reform will actually be possible. Isn’t that wonderful?

Whoop! Whoop!
8. Victor Asemota
This one is for the techies. It’s not a whoop; it’s more of a meh (no offence). Before you go disrupting things with new products, you might want to read this.
An airtime dealer told me in Lagos that tech people have far easier jobs. They have to hustle to sell the products and we make them obsolete
