7 people you sholud follow on twitter in Nigeria.

Over 218 million people actively use Twitter, and very few excel at it. Perhaps it's because Twitter dictates that users restrict their brilliance, pathos, wit, bon mots, kvetching, and self-promotion to 140 characters at a time. Maybe it's because some of them aren't real people, they're just bots. And some definitely have to toe the corporate line and eschew any creativity.

What some see as a limit, others see as a challenge, and it's the latter we celebrate here.

They're the Twitter-verse's experts and most readable posters out of the 500 million tweets posted per day. That's about 5,700 per second, with the most ever made142.199 tweets per secondthanks to Japanese users. That's a big step up from 2010 when tweets about the World Cup brought the service to its virtual knees with 3,051 tweets per second.

These are the few I was able to sort out.  Of course, there are many more individuals out there worth following, and suggestions are welcomed in the comments below.

Mallam Nasir El- Rufai

Oby, who is a former federal Minister of Solid Minerals and then Education during the second term presidency of Olusegun Obasanjo, is a force to reckon with on Twitter.
