Twitter
Nigeria can be fun and at the same time could be hell, I have been a very
frequent user of twitter since the year 2008 and I can clearly say I have seen
twitter transform nobodies to somebodies I have seen the ups and downs;
So
I have been given the job to write an article on the Coolest People to follow
on twitter for an upcoming magazine which will soon hit Nigeria , when I say cool
I mean people that you follow and you basically get all what twitter has to
offer; from gossips to latest headlines, funny comments et al.
I
can boldly say twitter is not as fun as it used to be due to the influx of the
new trend called RT4RT and constant and meaningless hashtags and questionnaire
but these set of people still manage to stay above the mediocrity and keep
twitter fun for a few lot.
Weekends
are the best days to be on twitter especially because of soccer and since it’s
a free day everyone gets to be on it. Our panel of reviewers over the course of
6 months reviewed and followed these set of people
Twitter
is a social network so criteria’s such as sense of humour, knowledge on issues,
how your tweets are constructed matter, what you talk about et al
In
no Particular Order I Start With
@OvieO: He owns Nigeria’s premier music
blog notjustok. His bio is ‘Send your Music to (Email Addy) and Pray. Like
that’s not enough. Whenever his team Manchester united is playing he bombards
you with banters upon banters. Recently his team haven’t been giving him so
much joy and has been on the receiving end. If he is not giving us the hits he
filling the TL with jokes
but
all in all he is fun to follow
@MRSGIROUD : From the name you will know she is an arsenal
fan, she loves arsenal to the bone and the way she takes shots at teams like
Chelsea which she calls chelslut is classic. You will enjoy her more during
weekends either an arsenal win or not mrsgiroud is always in for banters..
@MrsMUFC : Seeing women who tweet about
football and commit to banters with men is very sexy to men according to the
male panellist and mrsmufc is one who throws the banter and all whenever there
is a match going and even with other issues whatever she has to say always has
a pinch of humour in it
@Omobobo His tweets are twisted, one time he
was nominated for p setter of the year. the thing about his tweet is his very
healthy sense of humour in every of them. Always sees the lighter side to
things. According to him he is on twitter for small chops.
@Sir_Jaydee: He is a handful I tell
you. From going in hard on arsenal fans to his well-polished opinions on music.
Sense of humour is also up there with the others. When he speaks about any topic
he adds a joke. You will always be entertained by his TL with his banters. Most
especially his views on music and also get the latest on the best upcoming
music
@DONJAZZY: The only celeb on our list. Don
Jazzy is funny in all dimensions. You can even take a shot at him and he will
make a joke out of it. Whether he is advertising loya milk, MTN or a new
single. DON Baba J is the man. Anytime he is on the TL is fun all the way.
@Abimberry: Another arsenal female
fan whether she is taking bants from fellow rival clubs or dishing it out. She
always remains classy. Even when she is tweeting about other matters she still
keeps it classy and funny.
@LOSGIDDY losgiddy has always been one those
few that kept it real with twitter, I can still remember when he shut down
twitter when himself an MI Abaga where having a discussion. He also does this
stories which he tells most time through voice notes although he tags them as
true which most sound very unreal. That aside he is one of those that started
using memes and all.
@Drewbaba One of the early twitter users. used
the platform so well to promote a brand image for himself. Although he has been
on the low lately not as vibrant as he used to be before. But Mr Drew hasn’t
still lost the touch.
@Omojuwa Our very own twitter president. In
fact twitter Nigeria’s president. He represents our pain, hope everything. Even
when arsenal is losing omojuwa still finds something political to say about it.
His views on politics are very broad. Hate him or love him he has rocked
twitter Nigeria more times than I can count
@Echecrates Read his bio first. His
tweet made it on to LindaIkeji that’s how cool it was. Most of his views on
everything basically gets a nod of acceptance. And intertwined in his tweets
are humour..so the mix makes it fun for your TL. His tweets are most times
interactive and all
@234niiggs: Ladies man according to
our panellist. With his healthy sense of humour and trap tweet for the ladies.
As a lady myself I stay hooked to his TL.
There
are other people that also made it
Likes
of vunderkid, rynie_licious, Monique_Tanya and a few. Its really not about the
number of followers you have but how social and fun you keep it on your tweets.
Watch
out for magazine coming soon.
