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 downright ridiculous. We make it our job to take down the names of these noisemakers.
Here’s our list from today:
1 Mr Aye Dee
Zahra Buhari and her husband have angered Nigerians for taking the presidential jet. This photo was posted by Ahmed Indimi on his IG page.
Since then, there’s been a debate as to the abuse of office that this portrays. See below:
Question
Acting @NGRPresident @ProfOsinbajo, why is daughter of incapacitated @NGRPresident @MBuhari flying around in a Presidential jet?
— Mr. Aye Dee (@MrAyeDee) May 9, 2017
Answers
Just stop being silly, she accompanied her mother and the wife of the VP to visit the "Molested" child in Kano alongside her husband.

Only God know what type of weed Mr. Aye Dee is taking these days?. ?.

there are some languages u don't use. "incapacitated" u are trying to pass a gud info but u lost it with d wrong use of word

That girl has no right to fly our Presidential jet without her father being on board. https://t.co/bg0Q8oLKzn

Nitwits.

2. Okang Ochui
Uber or Taxify– Who is the greatest of them all-?
You must have figured out by now that Nigerians love a good debate. Do see below:
So, I requested a @Taxify_ng today, right? Driver accepts the trip, then phones me to say he's not going to drive at Taxify's prices…
— Okang Ashiwel Ochui (@hey_ashiwel) May 9, 2017
He tells me he's on strike, so when he gets to me, he's going to cancel the trip, then charge me for the trip at his own price.
— Okang Ashiwel Ochui (@hey_ashiwel) May 9, 2017
And, just like he said, dude gets to my pickup location, cancels the trip, drops me off, and charges me at his own rates.
How was your day?
— Okang Ashiwel Ochui (@hey_ashiwel) May 9, 2017
Taxify will crush Uber in Nigeria. Uber cares about quality, but Nigerians care about price. Taxify is barely vetting cars, Uber is strongly

The recent price reduction is a wrong strategy on both ends . drivers might consider going back to regular car hire service. None is winning
— Ak (@filmconnect) May 9, 2017
Not if Taxify drivers keep being rude, insulting passengers and threatening to beat them up.
— Obiora Obi (@i_be_obi) May 9, 2017
Price and quality are not mutually exclusive. I think Uber is working on their pricing even though drivers are agitated for now.
— Taslim Okùnọlá (@taslimokunola) May 9, 2017
Uber will still thrive…. Remember its not public transport #noshading
— Adaora Okorie (@NnennaMD) May 9, 2017
No. I think I should conclude my post on the concept of "Proximate Value Pricing". Taxi is an industry that tends towards luxury. WE aspire. https://t.co/7MlwG1MI09

Time will tell.
3. Yemi Osinbajo
The president of Nigeria has gone on another medical vacation. Before he left he sent the Senate a letter informing them of his absence and putting Osinbajo – the Vice President- in charge.
This has become the subject of another debate on Twitter NG. Yes, these debates do occur simultaneously.
We have Mr Aye Dee below arguing that the Vice President is merely ‘coordinating affairs’ on behalf of the President.
Your MD goes on leave and asks a Manager to 'coordinate' activities of your office. Is the manager the acting MD? Heck No.
— Mr. Aye Dee (@MrAyeDee) May 9, 2017
between the letter and the constitution which one is supreme, which one will you take?
— Aliyu Abdullahi (@ali_gadangas) May 9, 2017
You can argue all you want, but @MBuhari, the one person who could designate @ProfOsinbajo as 'Acting President' BLATANTLY refused to do so.
— Mr. Aye Dee (@MrAyeDee) May 9, 2017
The constitution is supreme & any act which is inconsistent with d constitution is null and void to the extent of its inconsistency

Lawyer and writer, Rotimi Fawole disagrees.
The wording of the President's letter to NASS is irrelevant. pic.twitter.com/F9VFkR9OyY
— Texène Wenger (@TexTheLaw) May 9, 2017
The only thing NASS needs to be notified of is that the President is proceeding on vacation or otherwise unable to discharge office.
— Texène Wenger (@TexTheLaw) May 9, 2017
The constitutional process does not require anything beyond notifying NASS that he's away., as far as I can see.
— Texène Wenger (@TexTheLaw) May 9, 2017
After all, there’s a reason why the constitution is the Grundnorm.
Mr. vice president, why did Mr. President refused to hand ✋ over d affairs of d country to u?
— Bernard Amaiguo (@benamaigwo) May 9, 2017
AG Osinbajo had to weigh in

6. Oge Nwaobia
Oge laments about the consequences of getting rich by do-or-die means:
I received a call today about someone whose son has been sentenced to death for kidnapping in Nigeria.
— MrsNwobia’s Daughter (@Oge_writes) May 8, 2017
What you sow, you reap, its not magic. It's just life.
Oh well. ✌?— MrsNwobia’s Daughter (@Oge_writes) May 8, 2017
Horrific.
