    CCT Sacks Onnoghen, Ajax Stun Ronaldo’s Juve in UCL Thriller and other Stories Rocking Social Media this Week

    CCT Sacks Onnoghen, Ajax Stun Ronaldo’s Juve in UCL Thriller and other Stories Rocking Social Media this Week

    Welcome to Social Media Roundup. As usual, we would be sharing with you some of the most interesting trends that got social media agog. Fasten your seat belts guys.

    Bashir Ahmad’s claim that Bill Gates called Buhari over election victory tears Twitter apart

    After Atiku Abubakar named experts from Microsoft, IBM and Oracle as witnesses for his petition against the presidential election result, the Personal Assistant to Buhari on New Media, Bashir Ahmed, took to Twitter to claim that Microsoft boss, Bill Gates already called Buhari to congratulate him.

    Yesterday night, one of the world’s richest men, @BillGates called President @MBuhari to congratulate him on his resounding election victory, winning a second four-year term of office.

    — Bashir Ahmad (@BashirAhmaad) April 17, 2019

    His tweets have since divided the opinions of Nigerians on twitter with some claiming the information is not true while others believe that it is true and could only mean Buhari is doing a good job.

    Everyone talking abt whether @BillGates called @MBuhari and all which concerns us nt, wit his Adviser on media publicly lieing 2 us all Nigerians😀 4getting that when they promises 2 do more 4 Nigeria it comes wit huge price. Its nt 4 free bt business💯#WakeUpNigeria #BillGates pic.twitter.com/VbhKCnr6D9

    — Prince Wilson Lyon (@wilsonwilson3) April 18, 2019

    @BashirAhmaad Why are you always lying? Bill Gates did not call @MBuhari

    Buhari, phone him to commend him for his consistent & generous support to public causes around the globe.@GarShehu , in a statement said Gates on his part, congratulated the President on the election. 🙄 pic.twitter.com/0E5k8UsZGx

    — Adetutu Balogun (@Tutsy22) April 18, 2019

    Atiku calls Microsoft experts as witness to election victory.

    Bill Gates , the owner of Microsoft ,congratulated Buhari on his victory.

    Atiku to Bill Gates, But why? pic.twitter.com/ymkMYu88yU

    — I'm Badmus🇳🇬 (@BADMANTON45) April 18, 2019

    Some considered the development as proof of economic growth

    And you people will say this government has not achieved anything. Bill Gates' call to Buhari is a massive achievement. Watch how it will impact the economy. Before you know it, petrol will be sold at 50Naira per Liter, and Garri will be sold free.

    You this ungrateful lots!

    — Wale Adetona (@iSlimfit) April 18, 2019

    While some believed it was the presidency’s tactic to counter Atiku’s witness presentation.

    Hahahahaha, just because @atiku said he will involve Microsoft and other IT companies for the inec server saga, now you guys remembered that Bill Gate called the president.

    — Godson Ikechukwu (@talented1144) April 18, 2019

    Whether there was a call or not would likely not have much bearing to court proceedings anyway.

    Ajax stunned Juventus to reach Champions League semi final
    CCT Sacks Onnoghen, Ajax Stun Juve

    It was a night of huge upset in the UEFA Champions leagues when Ajax knocked out almighty Juventus with Ronaldo leading the attack. Social media tamed it as Youngest beating old.

    I am the king of #ChampionsLeague
    I am taking Juventus into the finals

    Ajax : What did you say?, boys its time !!!#JuveAjax #JuventusAjax pic.twitter.com/1BN6SdbuL7

    — OmO PaSitOR (@Emmzy_Pr) April 16, 2019

    It wasn’t long before Messi/Ronaldo comparison came into it. Understandably so since Messi scored twice to help Barcelona dispatch Manchester United rather easily.

    Your Goat allowed SS3 students from Netherlands beat his Team in his backyard while THE GOAT gave De Gea Goals to drink like cold stout.#BARMUN #JuveAjax # pic.twitter.com/QFAa9GBnu0

    — Deacon Tolu⛪ (@Bams_Jnr) April 16, 2019

    Some were of the opinion that Ronaldo was doing all the work and that inadvertently led to Juventus’ loss.

    They expect him to do all the work😥😥#JuveAjax pic.twitter.com/0oUxXiUWZ7

    — Afumuzor (@BelovedDauta) April 17, 2019

    Ajax will meet Tottenham in their first Champions League semi-final in 22 years. But after eliminating Real Madrid and now Juventus, not many will consider them underdogs again.

    Mixed reactions as CCT sacks Onnoghen

    During the week, the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) convicted Justice Walter Onnoghen on charges of breach Code of Conduct for Public Officers. The tribunal then ordered his removal from office as the Chief Justice of Nigeria.

    HISTORY WAS MADE TODAY: The Code of Conduct Tribunal convicted the former Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Walter Onnoghen of breach of Code of Conduct for Public Officers.

    — Abayomi Shogunle (@YomiShogunle) April 18, 2019

    His case became the most trending during the week

    Let the wailing begin. More more in Circulation #Onnoghen pic.twitter.com/ueZUsYJVW4

    — Olamibode™ (@buddy466) April 18, 2019

    Some Nigerians wished he resigned honorably.

    They told you to resign so as to prevent being disgraced, you said No.

    Instead of listening to sane minds, you sought shelter from powerless and shameless SS Govs.

    Your team of SANs kept shopping around for injunctions to delay or quash the trials

    What a DISGRACE! #Onnoghen pic.twitter.com/qQkLt3paMi

    — Adebayo Bankole Akintunde (@AdeBanqie) April 18, 2019

    Walter Onnoghen was also banned from holding any public office for a period of 10 years.
