Today has been a big day for Nigerians as the Ministerial Screening went live. Unless you have been living under a rock (or you are not on twitter) you may have missed the trends #MinisterialList, #MinisterialScreening and #MinisterialConfirmation.
But don’t worry! We are here to inform you.
All day twitter has been singing the praises of Lagos Ex-Governor, Babatunde Fashola.
Fashola owned and schooled the senate today!

I hope the 36 state governors are watching Fashola's screening and taking notes.

He turned senators into Hip-Hop stans.
@Gidi_Traffic After fashola dropped his lyrics on the mic and signed out, I expected senators to rush for autographs. #MinisterialScreening

People that constantly defended that dull GEJ are crying that people are excited over Fashola. pic.twitter.com/M2zSJRka6n

Fashola even inspired people to think before they speak.
Every time you listen to Fashola you come away knowing he's thought deeply about most of the issues he talks about #winning

He made his intelligence known. In case you naively forgot!
Fashola answered every question so articulately and intelligently! #BRF was & will always be the man. Ambode needs serious tutorial.

He dropped wise words on the senate.
Fashola: We can't borrow to pay salaries, we can't borrow to run generators. Instead of borrowing to run gen I will invest in a power plant

And spoke on violence against women.
Fashola speaking on the violation of women and how the government needs to work harder to stop it. BAE FOREVER AND EVER
— Abike (@Jollz) October 14, 2015
He spoke wisely on the debt and finance management issue.
Ladies and Gentlemen I hope you now understand the concept of DEBT?! Blood of God, BRF is intelligent!! ?????"

Did you watch fashola get screened?…that man is CONFAM#..HIS conclusion on debt financing and management was awesome…GO FASH#
— #sakiboy (@tobi_hamzat) October 14, 2015
And made us think maybe he should be more than a minister.
As it stands o, even a ministerial position might not be enough for BRF
— High_IQ (@oria_bure) October 14, 2015
Lagosians even want him back as governor.
Lagosians,can we protest please? WE NEED FASHOLA BACK
— Baba Oni Gas (@manmustwack) October 14, 2015
People were willing to do anything to make sure they heard Fashola at the screening.
Dear NEPA, even if you take light, I go on gen inside rain. Fashola must be heard. #MinisterialScreening
