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:

Evans, do you know that in many parts of Nigeria/Africa, girls are not allowed to finish school? This is bad for us as a country. https://t.co/09QOEyHj88

6. J.K Rowling
Popular film director Harvey Weinstein is the talk of the town for sexually assaulting actresses.
J.K Rowling is popular on Twitter for awesome clapbacks like this.
THINK:
If Weinstein had obeyed @VP Pence's rules for meeting with the opposite sex, none of those poor women would ever have been abused. pic.twitter.com/Kgl9FF7nam

If the only thing preventing a man committing sexual assault is the presence of witnesses, he's too dangerous to be at liberty. https://t.co/9XswCIvFJC

President has banned doctors from engaging in private practice. Who advised him on this?
FG bans public service doctors from private practice even in their free time.
some were owed for 7 months. How do u think they survived?— Doc C (@tweetMOPOL) October 11, 2017
9. Seyi Taylor warns of the possible outcome.
A few thoughts on the FG's ban of public sector doctors in private practice. https://t.co/cwos5shzg8
— ST. (@seyitaylor) October 11, 2017
1. I'm not sure this ban is enforceable
2. While well-intentioned, the govt can't afford to pay these doctors well enough
3. More will leave— ST. (@seyitaylor) October 11, 2017
Totally agree. It's only going to further fan the embers of conflict b/w @AsoRock & doctors.

We did this in 1983 isn't it so?
— Bola Onasanya PhD (@Bolakofochy2012) October 11, 2017
I don't know but I know that in the 10 years after that, a lot of doctors moved to Saudi Arabia, the US, the UK (and a few to Canada).

10. Reno Omokri attacks PMB
How can you be presiding at Aso Rock and your wife and daughter are complaining about Aso Rock Clinic? Who is in charge of not you?
— Reno Omokri (@renoomokri) October 11, 2017
First rat chased you from your office now your family are complaining about Aso Rock clinic. Are you President or a decoration in Aso Rock?
— Reno Omokri (@renoomokri) October 11, 2017
I've never seen such abysmal failure to take responsibility as a first family complaining to the public about a clinic they're in charge of!

Oby quietly throws in this sub:
