Here are some of the topics that trended in PH on social media last week

#Riversrerun-

The Rivers legislative re-run election was one of the major trends in PH last week on social media. Social media definitely shaped the elections as different developments were discussed on different platforms mainly twitter. Among the numerous aspects of the election that trended was the picture of voters escorting their votes to the collation centre

#BlackSoot and ‘Kpofire’

This was definitely a big one last week Friday and all over the weekend. Reports of soot covering people’s cars and houses were trending on social media.

 I had noticed some in my house but had initially chucked it to the usual dust accompanying the harmattan. The Rivers State Ministry of Health addressed the issue via a Press Release stating it was investigating the incident.

Elderly Man hawking doughnuts

This also caught the attention of Rivers Residents thanks to On Air Personality with 92.3 Nigeria Info, MaryAnn Okon. The picture of a middle aged man dressing neatly and hawking doughnuts in Uyo got people retweeting the pic with word of commendation for the gentleman. It also got us re-inspired that people still believe there is joy in an honest day’s labour no matter how bad our society seems to have become.
