... a few selection from Twitter

Few things ticks me off like the "Only in Nigeria" phrase. This is very pertinent in social media, by "critics" to protest one incident or the other.
Its has become so pervasive, that even supposedly enlightened people have joined/leading the bandwagon.

It is more annoying because.

• It cannot be true
• Even if its true (or not), does it make it right?
• It amounts to intellectual laziness

Often, the individual making the statement, seems to make it for the effect, not for any intellectual purpose!
