9. Sex, drug and MIFI
Microblogging site, Twitter is a beehive of activities every second. With the number of tweets churned out daily, some would certainly turn out to be scandalous.
And that was what happened, on July 21, as @6fthobbit accused @UdakisBae of stealing her cocaine worth N60,000. She also claimed that @UduakIsBae stole her Mifi and performed lesbian acts on her bed.
The issue became a Trending Topic on Twitter for hours that day.
The argument went back and forth, to the extent that the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), said it would look into the matter.
10. The other room
When President Muhammadu Buhari made the comment that his wife, First Lady Aisha Buhari, “belonged to his kitchen, his living room and the other room“, little did he know that he was about to break the internet.
Immediately a hashtag, #TheOtherRoom was created as people made up bants and sought out likely meanings as to what Buhari meant when he made the statement.
The president received some backlash from many, as his statement was termed misogynistic, a poem was even written on the matter.
YNaija began a countdown as to when Aisha Buhari would issue an apology to her allegation during an interview with the BBC that her husband did not know many of those in his cabinet.
One of our writers also urged Mrs. Buhari not to apologise for her statements.
A staunch critic of the president, Femi Fani-Kayode penned an op-ed accusing Buhari of being “a hater of women”.
A former Chief Whip of the Senate, Senator Rowland Owie, who spoke on the situation said if a wife did what Aisha did to Buhari to him, she would be sent back to her father’s house.
