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 Wizkid
Starboy is on a roll. After giving us drama for two days, the musician has announced a concert in honour of the Grenfell Tower victims in London. But that’s not all. Wizzy wants to give back to the Nigerian community too. He intends to “storm” 4 Stadiums in 4 cities in Nigeria, also for a good cause: he will be giving to a charity of our choice.
See below:

One of my happy things recently is watching Wizkid come into his own as an artiste and person. So heartwarming to behold. A true star.
