Viral tweets just make Twitter utterly delightful; so we thought to curate our top 10 (there’s a bonus and then some) from last week. Some of the tweets will have you shedding a tear; others will make you bowl over with laughter; altogether they’ll give you an idea about what Twitter talked about during the week.
Based on ‘popular’ demand.

Lazy Nigerian Youth now President?
Look at what @MBuhari was doing in his own youth! No one called him lazy. But today, he calls hardworking Nigerian youths #LazyNigerianYouths pic.twitter.com/TEXOOyzrd0

Lazy Nigerian Youth? South Africans Know better
This #LazyNigerianYouths trending tag is ridiculous. All youth I've ever met and worked with in Nigeria are doing amazing things, working incredibly hard and hustling to make a difference in their communities and cities. Nigeria is an amazing country with inspiring youth! ??❤ pic.twitter.com/NY7kxDwwv2

Ideally…
"Normally a president will say, 'come and invest here because we have a youthful and hardworking labor force that you need..' He just said the opposite." @MBuhari faces youth backlash in Nigeria.#LazyNigerianYouths https://t.co/ZWQApeiIhq

But he was being himself?
President Muhammadu Buhari @MBuhari is in his 70s and words from him should be words of wisdom gleefully stored as quotable quotes. Not words that need hordes of PAs and SSAs to explain what he really meant. He is not a 7 year old that is mumbling. He is saying his MIND!

Missed Opportunity
You travel with friends from 21 different countries, then at airports you are “randomly” singled out for humiliating search. Just you. Because you are from a country with an image problem. Our President got chances to correct this misrepresentation, but chose to legitimise it.

What’s tragic about PMB’s comment is that it was in response to a clear question: ‘what are the investment opportunities in the NE?’
This was an opportunity to talk about the vibrancy of our art, music, photography or warmth & resilience of Nigerians

You had chicken, now we are shrinking chicks
My VC in school told us he went to school with 7 different scholarships in the University. I have uncles who were served FULL chicken as part of their meal while they were acquiring university education. My generation was given NOTHING by this country. But we are the lazy ones.

The Mace

Cops Focused
I must Applaud @PoliceNG's swiftness in apprehending Senator Agege while pretending to not see wanted Senator Dino Melaye. Impressive.

THERE’S MORE
The Exodus
This is a time in Nigeria when people who earn 600k in this country are so eager to migrate. It's really hard to be hopeful. Every random professional now on their way to Canada.

90s seem so long ago now
I was tutoring today and one of the kids asked me what year I was born. I said “1996” and she said “were you a slave?”

“I set records”
.@iamcardib wasn't lying when she said "For the record, I set records" in one of her latest hits, #IDo. ?
After the recent release of her new album #InvasionOfPrivacy the rap artist has made music history by breaking TWO Beyonce’s @Billboard records! > https://t.co/uTRptsJFBd pic.twitter.com/MFYfBnNQrr

He lives a winner
The biggest compliment I can give Arsene Wenger is that at his best he was an Invincible and at his lowest, he is in the semi finals of a European competition.

Something really horrible happened. We lost a friend with such a beautiful heart and the world lost an incredibly talented musician. Thank you for your beautiful melodies, the time we shared in the studio, playing together as djs or just enjoying life as friends.
