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 Oby Ezekwesili
Being a patriarchal society, it is not surprising Nigeria is at the bottom of the global gender ranking. BBOG activist, Oby Ezekwesili is tied up about it.
Nigeria is #122 out of 144 on Global Gender Gap Report 2017 . THIS IS FRANKLY POOR. WE just must DO BETTER from NOW. https://t.co/jQA259J3eO

Those among male folks who are one-dimensional about Gender Parity issues must know it is SIMPLY: "Making YOUR Daughter THE BEST SHE CAN BE"

2. Muhammad Darazo
It’s almost two years since El Zakzaky and his wife were detained, contrary to court orders. This demonstration is in order, wouldn’t you say?

3. Former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki told the court he cannot remember the details of the 400 million he gave to Metuh.
Twitter thinks it’s ludicrous.
If I gave somebody N400m, you bet I will remember that I did. Hell I even remember his gesticulations while he is receiving the money…😂😂

4. Nicholas Ibekwe
Nicholas analyses two popular TV stations in Nigeria and renders his verdict:
1. The guys at AIT breakfast show are doing a far better job of holding government officials accountable than the guys at Channels.

Reactions:
Perhaps it's an issue of having too many presenters on one programme (like the dailysunrise) and less researchers behind the scene.
