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 Buhari
The President is back in the country after 103 days in London, recuperating from some undisclosed illness. Twitter is equal parts excited and equal parts jaded.
President @MBuhari arrives from his medical vacation in the United Kingdom.

3. Bashir Ahmad, media aide to Buhari and one of the President’s voltrons during his time away, is totally blown away by this reception.
The crowd is massive, I mean very very massive, Baba Buhari is genuinely loved. People love Baba & Baba loves his people. I'm just in tears.

4. Geoffrey Onyeama
Beyond the tears and love and all that mushiness, Nigerians are full of hope concerning this second return.
Welcome home, Mr. President @MBuhari . We are all delighted to have you back; fully recovered, fired up and ready to lead! @NGRPresident pic.twitter.com/jmTPsAL3LF

May God give President Buhari the wisdom and courage to deliver all he promised in the interest of all Nigerians as he gets back to work.

Why the hullabaloo?
5. Adetutu
This section of Twitter is not at all moved by Buhari’s return. It’s all about the numbers for them.
After 103 days, millions of dollars wasted, Scar is back. #BuhariReturns pic.twitter.com/ODKEL1EJX0

6. Chrisem Egesi
Not quite 24 hours in town and they are already giving the President his marching orders.

Welcome back, next Wednesday is FEC meeting hope you will chair it?. Hope you are not just visiting Nigeria to go back to London in 3weeks?

7. Peregrino Brimah
Dr Brimah is only happy the president is back is because finally, he can do the needful:
I welcome @MBuhari back home. Wish him God's mercy. Hope he goes ahead to #ResignHonorably for his sake and the sake of #Nigeria pic.twitter.com/z4m2cn6zji

8. Prince Osagie
This lot are pondering the actual purpose of Nigerians:
now I know, Nigeria is a failed state. sm1 that was forced out of London, is being celebrated. Una whedone o; ResumeOrResign!
— Kokcy Pee (@fifivat) August 19, 2017
I guess Nigerians are the seeds in Ayo game. They take turns to put us in the carved holes and we stay there till they go round again?

9. Omojuwa gives it up for Osinbajo:
Credit to Prof. Yemi Osinbajo. He had a job to do, and despite the distraction of politics and ethnic entrepreneurs, he did it well!
— JJ. Omojuwa (@Omojuwa) August 19, 2017
About the 2019 election:
In a highly personalised Presidential system like the one Nigeria runs, Buhari's health concerns should make him a non-starter for 2019.
