Every day on the Nigerian internet, there are people who keep our eyes glued to our phone screens: we read their rants, opinions, perspectives on political and social matters, etc. from the sublime to the ridiculous. We make it our job to take down the names of these noisemakers.
Here’s our list from today:

3. Daily Mail

4. Pastor Osinbajo gives Nigerians a sermon
The Acting President donned his clergy toga to pass across this message:
No matter how much you pray and fast, our country cannot grow without some of us deciding to do the hard work that makes nations work.
— Prof Yemi Osinbajo (@ProfOsinbajo) May 24, 2017
In other words, faith without works is pretty useless.
