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 Babasola Kuti
If you think Nigerians have forgotten that President Buhari has been away from the country for over a month now, you’ve got another think coming.
Mr Kuti quips:
This year alone, Buhari has spent 98 taxpayers days in London. Yet the @NGRPresident does not think we deserve to know his health status. pic.twitter.com/JBnDaFQD3Q

Elizabeth responds:
It was supposed to be, "Vote for me and I'll build world-class hospitals." Not "Vote for me so you'll cover my presidential medical bills."

2. Mr Aye Dee
Speaking of our missing president, a medical practitioner who spoke with Mr Aye Dee raised some interesting points. See below:
I had a lengthy conversation with a leading DC based medical practitioner earlier this week, and somehow the discussion #BuhariMIA 1/

1 intensive care unit nurse
1 respiratory therapist
1 Nursing assistant for cleaning
If 12 hour shifts, that's 8 people #BuhariMIA 5/— Mr. Aye Dee (@MrAyeDee) June 24, 2017
If 8 hour shifts, that's 12 people per day, daily. @Mbuhari also needs real time access to a Chemistry and Haematology lab. #BuhariMIA 6/
— Mr. Aye Dee (@MrAyeDee) June 24, 2017
Depending on his condition, following also required to be on call 24/7:
1) Specialist Consultant for his specific condition #BuhariMIA 7/— Mr. Aye Dee (@MrAyeDee) June 24, 2017
a) Neurologist
b) Infectious Disease Specialist
c) Renal Specialist #BuhariMIA 8/— Mr. Aye Dee (@MrAyeDee) June 24, 2017
From a professional perspective, she said it's impossible for a team of 12+ professionals per day to work for over a month #BuhariMIA 9/
— Mr. Aye Dee (@MrAyeDee) June 24, 2017
Consequently, she said in her professional medical opinion his absence indicates one of 3 things:#BuhariMIA 11/
— Mr. Aye Dee (@MrAyeDee) June 24, 2017
1) @Mbuhari is alive & well but has been detained at a remote location & cut off from all access ala #MKOAbiola . #BuhariMIA 12/
— Mr. Aye Dee (@MrAyeDee) June 24, 2017
#2 He is sick but not in the UK or a Western Nation, but at a specialist hospital in a nation which represses information #BuhariMIA 13/
— Mr. Aye Dee (@MrAyeDee) June 24, 2017
#3 He is no more, and hence no need for support staff or personnel other than those present when he transitioned. #BuhariMIA 14/
— Mr. Aye Dee (@MrAyeDee) June 24, 2017
Her concluding summation being that Nigeria's making a mockery of itself by keeping news of what's going on with him secret. #BuhariMIA 15/E

Reactions:
On this one I think it's better she sticks to her medical practice. ???

1. He's dead.
2. In coma and just on life support.
3. ????

exactly! The silence is deafening and ominous. Something is not right #WhereIsBuhari
— Olamide (@lamideh) June 24, 2017
Its a possibility Oga is dead
— Jaydoniz (@chikezie_jay) June 24, 2017
And the devil appears!
3. President Buhari
Apparently, president Buhari is neither in a coma nor dead. He just issued a statement to Muslim faithfuls celebrating sallah…
I mean, we’ll just have to take Mr Garba Shehu’s word for it. See below:
President @MBuhari sends 2017 Eid-El-Fitr Greetings to Nigerian Muslims and Christians https://t.co/oYAbC6IEd3 #EidAlFitr #EidMubarak pic.twitter.com/paJPCcaAwE

All these doubting Thomases.
4. Trumpcare
While our president is trying to fix his health, Americans want Trump to quit trying to fix their perfectly alright healthcare bill- Obamacare- by replacing it with Trumpcare.
The grumblings are nasty:
Trumpcare would reduce the price of insurance the same way removing the doors and the engine would reduce the price of a car
— Judd Legum (@JuddLegum) June 24, 2017
Wow.
5. Henry Okelue
Henry, Juliet and Kayode are preoccupied with political matters which have direct impact on the health of this country. Join the conversation:
Don't get me wrong, I don't care if they burn their Nigerian passport or not. It is their right. I am only trying to be a statesman? https://t.co/h4mFA35774
— HENRY Okelue (@4eyedmonk) June 24, 2017
For me, I respecr their right to self-determination, simply guiding them to use civil, non-hate filled approach. A peaceful/legal referendum

Perhaps all everybody needs- Biafra, Arewa and every Nigerian- right now to get out of these dastardly feels is MONEY!!!
