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:
If you’ve been on Nigerian social media a minute, you already know that it doesn’t take much for Nigerians to rile themselves up; also, they especially excel at making mountains out of mole hills.
Take this picture Drake took with Tekno and posted on IG. That was all it required for the Wizkid-Tekno-Davido fan clash to start.

We know you love amebo, so let’s dig in.
1 Uche Daniel
It always starts with provocation and Tekno’s fans were on hand to supply ample shade. Suddenly, Tekno was pushed to no 1 on the billboard.
If we are being truthful, “musically” Tekno has more to give than Wizkid.

Drake is actually feeling and listening to Tekno who has more to give than Iyeyeye ??? pic.twitter.com/cRc2VLo2uS

Tekno produced "If" for Davido, and everyone loved it, but "If" they had told you that Tekno (Mr Cassava) would one day produce songs for Drake you would have said "Rara oo"

2. @Iam_Abdulaxis
Then someone had to allude to the ‘Come Closer’ incident that didn’t quite pan out for Starboy.
That's how Tekno met Drake before Wizkid ?

Nigerians, sha.
3. Onome chose a different tack: shade-free congratulations.

4. @OneXMind
Ooooooooh, but it came a little too late. Wizkid fans had already caught the shade and started wielding swords. We bring you ‘The Clash’, TwitterNG style.
Wizkid Is To Music What Messi Is To Football
Davido Is To Music What Ronaldo Is To Football
Where Will You Place Tekno?

Based on Drake linkup

-BurnaBoy✔️
-Davido?Someone needs to link OBO up,he's the only one that hasn't met Drake?

Wiz conquered Africa, switched the sound and conquered the international scene, the sftos album is a major proof that u don't need to be tied down with just one kind of music, diversity makes a great artist

Tell him bruh! ??
— Bwoy Natty (@BwoyNatty1) December 12, 2017
One thing to remember is that Tekno and Burna are friends with Wizkid?
— Emmanuel (@E_Cumzz) December 12, 2017
All affiliates of the Starboy are all on the right path. Can't say much about the other ?

At the end of that argument, what did we learn? Absolutely nothing. Elvis summarised it spectacularly for us.
Davido gets 50 million YouTube views
*drags Wizkid into it*
Shatta Wale coming to Lagos
*drags Wizkid into it*
Tekno chilling with Drake
*drags Wizkid into it*
Apparently, Wizkid is the yardstick now. Una go dey alright

7. Davido
Oh, and this is where Davido makes his grand entrance
TEKNO!!!! ??? u deserve am die!!!! For the culture!!!
— Davido (@iam_Davido) December 12, 2017
To which Tekno responded
O B O W A Y ???? https://t.co/Pp8G8xm0as

You see how foolish this fan battle is?
Tekno and Drake are in the studio rather than be happy at the inroads we are making
We have turned it to a Drake and wizkid were never in the studio together
We are we like this as a people
Why the drawback and bad belle
— Cinderella Man (@Osi_Suave) December 12, 2017
Davido achieves something, they drag WizKId into it
WizKid achieves something, they drag Davido into it
Tekno achieves something, Wizkid and Davido fans start a war
What is really the problem???

8. Chydee is all of us
Two things are baffling me this morning.
1) A kid was bullied, but because the mom has made racist posts before, people are saying snide things about the kid?
2) Tekno and Drake are making music together, but people are making it about Wizkid? Yoruba vs Igbo?
What a world.

9. Favour puts it in perspective.
I'm a Wizkid fan in Nigeria, but I'm a Fan of Nigerian Music once we go global. I Love Davido, Tekno, Maleek Berry etc. I want them all to win for the culture and I also want Nigerian politicians to stop congratulating them until they #ENDSARS. pic.twitter.com/wb4uvyjYlH

By the way, you should know:
Tekno linking up with Drake is a plus, but people throwing shade at Wizkid with it makes no sense. They have 3 songs. Come Closer went gold in Canada, Silver in UK. One Dance hit 1 BILLION streams, won 3 BBMAs, 2 iHeart Radio, 1 ASCAP, 1 Echo awards. Tek has a lot to offer too.
— World Publicist (@IsimaOdeh) December 12, 2017
Drake has now officially worked with Wizkid, which has given birth to worldwide smash hits, Burna Boy & is currently working with Tekno and there is also a potential collaboration with Mr Eazi in the works.
I think it’s safe to now assume that Nigerian music is Worldwide ?

Lastly,
why do our music artistes make it a big deal when they famz with foreign artistes, wizkid this, tekno that. Mikel, Okocha and Kanu did not kill anyone when they played with Lampard, Ronaldinho or Henry.
