Every day, 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 even just downright ridiculous. We make it our job to take down the names of these noisemakers.
Here’s our list from today:
1. Japheth Omojuwa
Last year, the federal government announced plans re-institute the YouWin programme – a Goodluck Jonathan entrepreneurship scheme which Buhari and Osinbajo ( and APC goons) had bashed at the polls.
Some 50 million youths out of jobs, they said to be grateful for the 10,000 or so created by YOUwin. Use your vote to say "Enough!"

But then they did a 360 and said it will come back.
As promised, we are continuing with #YouWin. Ministry of Finance has now unveiled the restructured #YouWIN—to be known as #YouWINConnect https://t.co/o5sjHdmHJK
— Government of Nigeria (@AsoRock) March 6, 2017
We are guessing that’s why Omojuwa thought to defend his 2015 position
YOUWIN remains tokenistic. As @AsoRock commits to making it better, we must always remember is is much more about the business environment..
— JJ. Omojuwa (@Omojuwa) March 7, 2017
YOUWIN would not be necessary if the economy worked. So it should at best be a stopgap, run by subnational governments not a federal one.
— JJ. Omojuwa (@Omojuwa) March 7, 2017
Some others have always thought it was the bomb
YouWin as I have repeatedly said is one of the best (if not the best) programs ever initiated by the Nigerian State https://t.co/6hmaNlNDtF

2. Eromo Egbejule
Actually mentioned this fact in one of my seminar classes @MalmoUniversity. There was no need for ima mmadu. https://t.co/xPpL8xp0HU

At least #YouWIN is now regarded as an impactful intervention.

3. Mark Amaza
But Mark Amaza doesn’t understand the need for ‘I told you so’
4. Demola Olarewaju
The entire YouWin matter caused Demola Olarewaju to erupt:
There are three Degrees of Shamelessness: IDGAF, APC and APC-minions.
Same lot that discredited YouWin here now Praise it?
Despicable.— Demola Olarewaju (@DemolaRewaju) March 7, 2017
Hypocrisy is an unofficial ideology of the APC.
If people like this criticise you, intensify your efforts – you're on the right track.

And @afrispheric concurred
Just sorry for Buhari's supporters
Man will show how silly it is to defend an empty govt

Awww. Congrats
5. Dr Godknows Igali
The former Permanent Secretary of the ministry of power has denied that he ever stole 47 brand new SUVs.
Do see below:
Reactions:
He should face the music of the law. WhatsApp message of "…thanks for your prayers" is a peripheral and distraction. https://t.co/PDhrTsi4rw

There are three sides to every story. Dr kigali, EFCC, and truth. He has the right to speak up…
i have heard funny stories before. https://t.co/fCcsJfiPAW— Mousa (@MousaUthman) March 7, 2017
6. Amara Nwankpa
Of all the things we have to deal with as a country, toss in fish stealing to the pile.
It’s the reason Amara Nwankpa is upset and making hell of an important noise.
Hello Nigerians. Let this stick in your mind: #TheyAreStealingOurFish. Never Forget.

@mexim it's the corruption in the maritime sector and nonchalant behaviors of our maritime ministry to boost economic activities

Majority of Africa's illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing traced to Russian and East Asian flagged vessels. #TheyAreStealingOurFish pic.twitter.com/6kZ1DaAw87

Level of overfishing off the coast of West Africa = 50%
Global = 30%#TheyAreStealingOurFish pic.twitter.com/l9VbYqQ7er— Amara Nwankpa (@Nwankpa_A) March 7, 2017
IUU Fishing loss to West Africa yearly = $1.3bn (not counting ecosystem cost of overfishing) #TheyAreStealingOurFish

*Sigh* These food scarcity issues.
