The Nigerian twitter-sphere is a bag of craziness, with updates ranging from outright brilliant, funny and creative, to downright inane.
It’s amazing what people can do with 140 characters. So do you need attention, feeling bored, need something to spice up your day, or really, really angry at someone, then twitter is your friend.
Just remember that Netizens on twitter are eager and ever ready with witty tweets.
Here are five very simple ways of becoming a twitter trend:
1. Be politically incorrect
Nobody likes to be a victim, but everybody has, at one time or another, taken part in a jest of someone weaker or, supposedly inferior.
It’s all for the fun, right? Recall the Sean Tizzle tweets about Adele’s ‘Hello’? Epic!
2. Accuse someone of something scandalous (preferably your ex or colleague)
Nothing gets people talking (in this case tweeting) like a good scandal. It doesn’t necessary have to be true, maybe a half-truth or half the story.
Twitter Netizens will surely complete it. Just pull a Dammy Krane on anybody. Or simply accuse your ex of something –anything at all, but be sure that it is jaw popping.
3. Affirm a stereotype
Again, it doesn’t matter if the stereotype is true (are stereotypes true anyway?), just tweet it and throw in a hashtag for good measure.
Remember to stay away from: Benin and witches (it’s too usual, boring and old), Calabar girls and big nyash (too trite and almost stale), African mothers and wahala (this is funny all the time, but come on! be creative; come up with something new), Igbo people and money (so true, but come on folks, do better), Yoruba and Owambe (let’s be real here, this is old). Try something new and creative.
Remember, whatever you come up with must be street and mumu-friendly, with a little bit of satire and truism.
4. Be Vic O
The honest truth is that in Nigeria, Vic O is your go to guy for anything internet hit and trending.
How he does it, we don’t know.
But we suspect he has a more than average IQ when it comes to making a fool of himself.
Hence, the best lesson we should all learn from Vic O is: everybody loves people that make a fool of themselves.
Nobody wants to be seen as the village idiot, why not make yourself one? I guarantee you’ll be an instant hit. Just be consistent in the self mockery, one day you’ll be a hit.
5. Throw an e-punch (also known as pulling an Olamide) : I was in my house and trailer came to jam me
I suppose not everybody can be king of the street i.e have a squad of soldiers standing by at Lagos mainland, willing and ready to do their commanders’ bidding.
But we all have one thing: fingers to insult anybody from the presidency to your state governor to that wicked senior in secondary school –after all na you send political holders to come twitter?.
Only rule to Twitter e-punching is that your tweet must be witty, have something catchy (like the legendary “biko leave trash for LAWMA”) and have, at the very least, 0.01% element of truth.
Do all, or any, of the above and I guarantee you that you’ll be a Twitter hit.
Just stay true to form.

5 surefire ways to be prominent on Nigerian Twitter
MTN Apologises To Subscribers, Regulators For Poor Service
Dominant mobile operator MTN Nigeria said in Lagos on Friday that it is willing to restore relations with the telecoms umpire, the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), regardless of the current situation in the industry.
Speaking to journalists in Lagos, newly appointed Chief Executive Officer, Ferdinand Moolman, and Corporate Service Executive, Aminat Oyagbola, noted that MTN had utmost confidence in NCC and holds the regulator in high esteem, emphasising that MTN was ready to restore good terms with the regulator.
According to Oyagbola, the approach to reconciliation is to correct any area where the firm had erred in the past.
Said she: “The approach is to take the steps lined up to move the industry forward, correct where we have erred in the past, ensure good business relationships with all stakeholders in the industry. It starts with a show of good faith; speaking the truth. We want to restore and generate more goodwill,” she stated.
The new CEO added that the fine issue was very critical for MTN to resolve, disclosing that the fine is about 95 per cent of their total revenue for a year.
The telecommunications company appealed to affected subscribers in the on-going re-registration of Subscriber Identification Module (SIM) cards, stressing that the whole process would end well for subscribers, the operator and the industry as a whole.
Moolman said it had become expedient that MTN have a solid database of its subscribers as a basis for the next phase of the telecommunications revolution, especially in the area of broadband provisioning.
Oyagbola continued that a hamonised database was needed to be able to offer world class services, saying “MTN actually brought in new systems, hires about 10,000 contract staff for the re-registration process. We are committed to supporting the government in building a national database”.
She noted that MTN is doing the registration afresh, that it would be done in batches and completed in the next six months.
“We are sorry about the number of times a subscriber had to revisit our outlet. The target is to have an accurate database from our own end and then syncronise it with that of the regulator.
“It is a voluminous exercise. We have placed order for SIM registration equipment from the manufacturers, but they claimed to have run out of stocks because it is not only Nigeria that is registering subscribers. They gave us till March for them to have stocks,” Oyagbola stated.
The CEO lamented the impact of the falling oil prices and fluctuating foreign exchange. He maintained that these challenges are impacting negatively on the ability of the firm to import equipment from abroad.
“It is really disturbing and it has become more difficult to import equipment from abroad. These two issues of falling oil prices and a fluctuating foreign exchange regime are serious issues, but we are confident about Central Bank of Nigeria’s efforts in resolving the matter.”
Ten Signs To Show One Is Depressed
There is yet to be an acceptable figure of depressed people in the world. However, millions are depressed globally and the figures are higher in richer and modernised countries. For example, an estimated 19 million Americans suffer from depression, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The research has shown that 10 to 25 percent of American women, as well as 5 to 12 percent of men, will become clinically depressed at some time during their lives.
Unfortunately, depression is not an affliction that most people want to talk about, and this means that many of those who suffer from the condition do not seek help. When depression strikes, the effects can be debilitating and life altering, and remaining in denial will not lead to a cure. Yet many men and women who are stricken with depression refuse to admit they suffer from it. Instead, they blame their feelings on “having the blues” or simply being sad due to circumstances of life.
Although everyone gets down in the dumps from time to time, how do you know if you are actually suffering from depression? While there are many theories regarding signs and symptoms of depression, according to Forbes, there are 10 helpful ways to detect depression.
1. Being over-confident and fearless: Many people who suffer from depression, particularly those who are high achievers, cope with the condition by behaving in ways that are opposite of how they truly feel. Psychiatrists refer to these actions as “escapism.” Common behaviors of escapism include high risk activities or carelessness, like parachuting, mountain climbing or gambling with the rent money.
2. Increased alcohol consumption: Drinking alcohol is the most common way that people with depression choose in an effort to “self-medicate” and escape the emotional turmoil. Not only does this tactic fail to work, but could also lead to a developing a severe drinking problem in addition to being depressed.
3. Sexual obsession or exercise: Many who suffer from depression try to achieve excellence between the sheets or on the treadmill. Sexual activities and working out at the gym can provide a temporary feeling of euphoria that keeps symptoms of depression temporarily at bay.
4. Anger issues: Do routine conflicts quickly escalate into fights? Feeling helpless is a very common symptom of depression. One flawed way suffers fight their way out of feeling helpless is to fight back when they feel the least bit threatened or challenged. If small things constantly enrage you, take it as a serious warning sign.
5. Suppressed feelings: Rather than feeling sad or unhappy, some people who suffer from depression turn off their feelings altogether. Choosing to not care about the people around you, or about the outcome of events and decisions, only serves to ward off pain for a little while. Closing off your feelings can also alienate people from you, and damage valuable relationships.
6. Excessive socializing: While many people with depression would rather be alone in their misery, others immerse themselves in a flurry of social activities. This is a temporary fix—staying busy and being in a social whirlwind is a short term way to escape symptoms of depression.
7. Inability to concentrate: Daydreaming and lack of concentration effects even those people without depression. If you spend a significant amount of time daydreaming and fantasizing, instead of being grounded in reality, you may have a problem.
8. Trouble accepting praise or goodwill: People in the throes of depression have low self esteem; therefore they have trouble accepting praise, kind gestures, or compliments because they feel they don’t deserve them.
9. You work harder but not smarter: Depressed people have a hard time seeing easy solutions to routine or simple problems causing them to work harder to accomplish even the smallest of tasks.Uncontrolled emotions: People who are depressed tend to over-react to minor incidents, but ignore catastrophic news. This emotionally out of sync behavior is called “inappropriate affect” by psychiatrists, and refers to behavior that is opposite of the emotional reaction an incident normally triggers. As an example, a depressed person could express no emotion if a parent dies, but cry uncontrollably while watching a faraway minor disaster on the nightly news.
10. If you have symptoms of depression, do yourself and your loved ones a favor by seeking professional help. As one of America’s most influential psychologists, Abraham Maslow said, “What is necessary to change a person is to change his awareness of himself.” Admitting you have a problem is the first step.

5 Things You Say Which Hurt Her A Lot!
Men are much more emotionally stronger when it
comes to comparing them with women. A woman
will always feel too much and think too much, and
that makes her an extremely sensitive being.
However, when the two of them are together, there
are chances that some days, she will go to sleep hurt.
Her guy will say something – intentionally or
unintentionally – and it will hurt her a lot, but instead of
complaining, she will just pass. How can you know
that this has happened? Simply, by avoiding saying
any of these:
5. ‘You are good for
nothing!’
When a guy tells his girl that she is good for nothing,
he ends up hurting her a lot. Every woman makes a
lot of sacrifices in a relationship. She is always making
efforts. Some days, her efforts will be loud, prominent
and clear, while at other days you won’t even realize
what she is doing. You cannot just judge her and label
her as someone who is good for nothing, while she is
genuinely making efforts to make you happy and/or
proud.
4. ‘You look horrible!’
She knows that you love her a lot. She knows that
you are joking. Nonetheless, you never tell your girl
that she is looking horrible. A girl might not want the
whole world to think that she is pretty. However, it is
just the opinion of that one person which matters a lot
to her. However, when she hears this from him, she
might laugh it off, but she will definitely hate it. There
are a lot of other things to joke about. Try them!
3. ‘You are a poor partner’
You never – NEVER – tell your girl that she is a poor
partner. You must never make her feel like her efforts
have never been sufficient and that after all this time,
you are not even satisfied with her. A relationship
takes just as much energy for a woman, if not more,
and when you say something like this, you make her
feel that she was making efforts for nothing. This will
make her feel small and insignificant, and she might
take time recovering her self-respect.
2. ‘Why do you keep crying
all the time?’
Like I mentioned earlier, women are sensitive
creatures. Since they are always overemotional and
they think a lot, thy often end up concluding things
which are far from reality. As a result, they upset
themselves for no reason. However, you don’t get to
complain over it because if she feels everything
excessively, she also loves you excessively. If you
mock her for crying all the time or for being too
emotional, you are basically making fun of who she is.
If her constant crying is bad for her health, there are
better ways to express you concern, instead of
hurting her a lot.
1. ‘That xyz girl is really
hot/pretty’
Women know how men are. They know that they are
always a little flirtatious and they might find other
women pretty, even when they have someone and
despite the fact that they love her a lot. They accept it
because that is their nature. However, what they really
hate is the compulsion that men feel to tell this to their
girl. Yes, it is good that you find this certain woman
pretty or it is nice if she is hot, but you don’t have to
tell this to your girlfriend. Women can be very
possessive and your behavior might even make her
feel insecure. Avoid doing things that hurt her.

Press Release: President Buhari Orders EFCC To Investigate Former/Serving Officers, Others Over Corruption In Military Procurements
STATE HOUSE PRESS RELEASE
PRESIDENT BUHARI ORDERS EFCC TO INVESTIGATE FORMER CHIEF OF DEFENCE STAFF, CHIEFS OF AIR STAFF, OTHERS OVER CORRUPTION IN MILITARY PROCUREMENTS
On the recommendation of the committee established to audit the procurement of arms and equipment in the Armed Forces and Defence sector from 2007 to 2015, President Muhammadu Buhari has directed the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to carry out further investigation into the misconduct established against the following retired and serving officers of the Nigerian Air Force and Nigerian Army:
(1) Air Chief Marshal AS Badeh (Rtd)
(2) Air Marshal MD Umar (Rtd)
(3) Air Marshal AN Amosu (Rtd)
(4) Maj-Gen. ER Chioba (Rtd)
(5) AVM IA Balogun (Rtd)
(6) AVM AG Tsakr (Rtd)
(7) AVM AG Idowu (Rtd)
(8) AVM AM Mamu
(9) AVM OT Oguntoyinbo
(10) AVM T Omenyi
(11) AVM JB Adigun

(15) Air Cdre AO Ogunjobi
(16) Air Cdre GMD Gwani
(17) Air Cdre SO Makinde
(18) Air Cdre AY Lassa
(19) Col N Ashinze
(20) Lt Col. MS Dasuki (Rtd)
Following the submission of the audit committee’s second interim report, President Buhari has directed the EFCC to investigate the roles of the officers and the following companies and their directors in fundamental breaches associated with the procurements by the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA) and the Nigerian Air Force (NAF).
(1)Messrs Societe D’ Equipments Internationaux
(2) Himma Aboubakar
(3)Aeronautical Engineering and Technical Services Limited
(4)Messrs Syrius Technologies
(5) Dr Theresa A. Ittu
(6)Sky Experts Nig Ltd
(7)Omenyi Ifeanyi Tony
(8)Huzee Nig Ltd
(9)GAT Techno Dynamics Ltd
(10) Gbujie Peter Obie
(11) Onuri Samuel Ugochukwu
(12)Spacewebs Interservices Ltd
(13)Oguntoyinbo Tayo
(14) Oguntoyinbo Funmi.
(15) Delfina Oil and Gas Ltd
(16)Chief Jacobs Bola
(17)Mono Marine Corporation Nig Ltd
(18)Geonel Intergrated Services Ltd
(20)Sachi Felicia
(20) Mudaki Polycarp
(21)Wolfgang Reinl.
The breaches identified by the Audit Committee include non-specification of procurement costs, absence of contract agreements, award of contracts beyond authorised thresholds, transfer of public funds for unidentified purposes and general non-adherence to provisions of the Public Procurement Act.
Furthermore, the procurement processes were arbitrarily carried out and generally characterized by irregularities and fraud. In many cases, the procured items failed to meet the purposes they were procured for, especially the counter insurgency efforts in the North East.
A major procurement activity undertaken by ONSA for NAF was that concerning the contracts awarded to Societe D’ Equipment Internationaux (SEI) Nig Ltd.
Between January 2014 and February 2015, NAF awarded 10 contracts totalling Nine Hundred and Thirty Million, Five Hundred Thousand, Six Hundred and Ninety US Dollars ($930,500,690.00) to SEI Nig Ltd.
Letters of award and End User Certificates for all the contracts issued by NAF and ONSA respectively did not reflect the contract sums. Rather, these were only found in the vendor’s invoices, all dated 19 March 2015. Additionally, some of the award letters contained misleading delivery dates suggesting fraudulent intent in the award process. The observed discrepancies are in clear contravention of extant procurement regulations.
The SEI contracts included procurement of two used Mi-24V Helicopters instead of the recommended Mi-35M series at the cost of One Hundred and Thirty Six Million, Nine Hundred and Forty Four Thousand US Dollars ($136,944,000.00).
However, it was confirmed that the helicopters were excessively priced and not operationally air w
Super Eagles Rated Youngest Team Of 2015
The International Centre for Sports Studies has named the Super Eagles of Nigeria as the youngest average squad in international matches in 2015.
The report coming out of Neuchâtel, Switzerland, revealed that the average age of the Super Eagles was 24.7, and players aged 22 or less featured 19 per cent of the time for the team.
It also indicated that Nigeria used players not born in the country for 14.6 per cent of the matches played. These players include Alex Iwobi and Carl Ikeme.
The team’s captain, Ahmed Musa, was the most used player in the team, playing 544 minutes for the Eagles and scoring two goals.
Armed Forces Remembrance Day: Buhari Asks Forces To Win War On Terror
President Muhammadu Buhari has urged the Nigerian Armed Forces to ensure that they win the war against Boko Haram in the nation’s northeast.
The President made the demand at the National Arcade on Friday via digital devices and live streaming equipment improvised by the Nigerian Army to enable him chat with soldiers in the northeast, as the military marks the Armed Forces Remembrance Day.
The event is used to honour the veterans who are alive as well as the families of the departed. It also featured inspection of Guard of Honour as mounted by the Guards Brigade.
Other government officials who joined the President in the laying of wreaths were Vice President Yemi Osibajo, Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Honourable Yakubu Dogara.
The national troupe on war horses, heralded the coming of President Buhari into the National Arcade accompanied by the commander of the Guards Brigade for the review of the National Guard of Honour on parade
After the parade, the President and other special guests made a solemn movement straight to the tomb of the Unknown Soldier for the biggle
Prayers were said in Christian and Islamic formats for the repose of the souls of the departed and peace and unity of the country.
A minute silence in honour of the fallen heroes was also observed before President Buhari laid the presidential wreath followed by Vice President Osibajo, Dr Saraki, Mr Dogara, the Chief Justice of the Federation and the Defence Minister.
President Buhari further released the bells of pigeons and the balloons signifying the unfettered peace in the country.
One would have thought that the ceremony will end with the signing of the anniversary register by the President, but everyone watched as President Buhari, in what looks like an innovation, put a call across to the Nigerian soldiers in the war front, a call that was saluted with a joyous roar from the soldiers.
For more than six years Nigerian Armed Forces have battled Boko Haram terrorists mostly in the north-east States of Adamawa, Borno and Yobe.
Their activities have displaced over two million persons.
While addressing reporters, some of the special guests express confidence in the Nigerian Army.
Channels Television’s correspondent, Chukwuma Onuekwuzi, said that beyond the event everyone seemed to say that the Nigerian Armed Forces, living and dead, deserved further celebration and the gratitude of the nation for their past and on-going sacrifices in the service of their fatherland.
January 15 of every year has been set aside to celebrate fallen heroes of the Nigerian Armed Forces.
It is always celebrated with pomp and pageantry.
On this day, fallen heroes as well as veterans, who put their lives on the line as they fought in and through the first and second world wars, the Nigeria Civil War and peace support missions. Are honoured and remembered.
In Nigeria, the event was initially marked with a National Holiday on November 12 and later on the November 11 (popularly known as 11-11 or poppy day) so that it coincided with the World War II Veterans’ Remembrance Day in the British Commonwealth of Nations.
Much later, it had to be changed to January 15 in memory of the end of the Nigeria Civil War in 1970.
This year, it coincides with the 50th anniversary of the first military coup by Major Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu and four other majors on January 15, 1966.
The coup triggered a chain of other events that eventually snowballed into the fratricidal war of 1967 to 1970.

Lassa Fever Kills One In Abuja
The Ministry of Health in Nigeria has confirmed the death of a Lassa Fever victim at the National Hospital in Abuja, the nation’s capital.
The death came a day after the Ministry confirmed that 41 persons had died so far, with a report that there were no new cases.
Announcing the death at the National Hospital on Wednesday, the Minister of Health, Professor Isaac Adewole, called on Health workers at all levels to be more vigilant and look out for patients with symptoms of Lassa Fever.
Symptoms Of Lassa Fever
The Minister also directed that all primary and secondary contacts of the victim should be tracked, including the staff of the private hospital in Kubua where the deceased was first managed for one week and subsequently became unconscious before referral to the National Hospital.
He also advised that family members should report at the nearest hospital if anyone had fever for more than two days
The Minister, however called on the residents of Abuja not to panic but to maintain high level vigilance and present themselves for test if they feel unhealthy or they feel symptoms of Lassa Fever which include high fever, stooling, tiredness and vomiting among others.
He cautioned that self-medication should be avoided at this period.
The Medical Director of the Hospital, Dr Jack Momoh, who briefed the Minister On Wednesday evening, during his visit to National Hospital, said that the patient was brought in unconscious from a Private Hospital in Kubua where he was admitted for eight days.
The 33 year old newly married lived in Jos Plateau but came to see a family member in Kubua because of his illness.
He however died within 24 hours of presentation at the National Hospital.
The latest death from Lassa fever brings the total number of deaths to 43 in the country, from 10 states.
Army To Establish Two New Divisions
The Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Yusuf Buratai, says the Nigerian Army is planning to create two new divisions.
The Chief of Army Staff, on Wednesday, said that the two divisions would be Division 8 in the northeast and Division 6 in the south-south.
General Buratai, who announced the step at a lecture on the ‘Nigerian Army Challenges and Future Perspectives’, said that the key priority of the Nigerian Army was to maintain operational readiness at all times.
He said the expansion would go hand in hand with the doctrinal review and development of new strategies to enable the Nigerian Army perform its statutory duty of protecting the nation’s integrity .
General Buratai, however, said that the expansion would need the recruitment of more manpower for the Nigerian Army – which is embarking on a recruitment drive of 12,000 personnel yearly to meet the manpower requiems.
While seeking the improvement of platforms for the Nigerian Air force, which provides air support for the army in the fight against Boko Haram, General Buratai also said he had plans for an air battalion.
The plans of the Nigerian Army are no doubt lofty and would be beneficial to the success of the force’s internal security operations.
5 Reasons Why Men Are Attracted To Shy Girls
We are under no obligation to be with a certain kind of person. We can fall in love with whoever we want and look for whatever traits that we like. Everyone enjoys this authority and ends up having their preferences. Men have all kinds of choices when it comes to woman. Obviously, we are different so we want different kind of people in our lives. However, there is always a trend among men to be inclined towards shy girls. They find them simplistic, pretty and very feminine. Most men have a thing for such women and here are a few reasons why:
Mysterious
What men admire the most in women is mystery. They are often into shy girls because they find them very subtle and away from everyone else. They will not reveal much about themselves. They will always look like those feeble beings that tend to stay quiet. They won’t express that easily, and they will literally have to make efforts to read and understand them better. This kind of personality traits makes them run behind shy girls because of their curiosity.
Reserved
Men appreciate the fact that shy girls are reserve. People complain that times have changed and people are much more different now. However, most men still want a woman who is just open to them and secretive to everyone else. They don’t want a loud woman who talks her heart out to everyone. They like exclusivity and that is something that a shy girl gives to them in life. Therefore, they want to belong to someone who will be reserved with everyone else expect them.
Strong
A lot of mistake shy girls for being weak and feeble. They assume that a little issue or scolding will send them running into their rooms crying. However, they cannot be wrong enough. Those who stay quiet and interact the least, observe the most. They don’t talk much but they notice little things about people and tend to keep a keen eye on their surroundings. They are, as a result, stronger. Hey can take in a lot because they understand how things work. You cannot assume that they will break in a moment, just because they don’t talk much. They are stronger than you think.
Surprise
Men always prefer girls because they like the surprise package that they are. To the outside world, they will be this shy person who will not talk much or interact much. However to the man she genuinely loves, she will be completely something else. She will not let the world see this side of her and it will be exclusively reserved for the guy that she is with. Her original chirpy nature will be uncommon to everyone. She will be smart, funny and hyper active in front of her partner and he will go crazy for her even more just because of the surprise package that she happens to be.
Feminine
Womanhood is beautiful. As a woman, I know how absolutely wonderful it is to be a woman. Men love it too. They like softness, shyness and prettiness. They believe that the reserved and shy nature of a girl makes her even more beautiful and they tend to become crazier for her. To them, having a feminine girlfriend/partner is very important. Most men do not want a loud girl who is no different from men. Men want women who are sweet and can be strong when required.
