In Nigeria, the end of the year is usually the season of concerts. From the beginning of December this year, several Nigerian artistes have had their concerts and this week is no different. On Sunday, December 24, Wizkid held his much anticipated homecoming concert dubbed "Wizkid the Concert" which had thousands of music fans in attendance.
The highlight of the night was when Wizkid welcomed Davido, his supposed rival on stage. Watch the video below.

Read more reactions here and here. And check out this hilarious thread too. Now, on to other interesting topics on social media this week.
Yusuf Buhari's bike accident
On Tuesday night, Yusuf Buhari, son of Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari was involved in a tragic motorbike accident in Abuja. He reportedly broke a limb and sustained injuries to the head. It was also reported that Yusuf has been flown to Germany for further treatments.
https://twitter.com/jacksonpbn/status/946533377213128704
The Presidency has since denied this report, claiming that Yusuf is receiving treatment at a clinic in Abuja. Nigerians had a few things to say concerning this on social media.
Goodwill messages
I have been in Liberia monitoring elections and only just heard the sad news. My family and I are in prayers for the quick recovery of Yusuf Buhari. It is my deep desire that a young man so full of promise should live and thrive to fulfil the promises God has domiciled in him.
— Goodluck E. Jonathan (@GEJonathan) December 27, 2017
I wish Yusuf Buhari a very quick recovery. A young man full of promise. My family and I want President @MBuhari to know that we are with him and his family in our thoughts and prayers.
— Ben Murray-Bruce (@benmurraybruce) December 27, 2017
I also want to cease this opportunity to wish Yusuf M. Buhari, the son of our President and all our young men and women who are hospitalized and undergoing treatment a sound and speedy recovery. May God restore back their sound health. Ameen.
— Adamu J. B Garba II (@adamugarba) December 27, 2017
Today should be a day when all of us Nigerians put our partisanship aside and join with the @MBuhari family to pray for the quick recovery of his son, Yusuf Buhari. There are things that divide us. But a thing such as this should unite us in wishing well to the first family.

https://twitter.com/ogbeni_opa/status/946421979363577856
Fix Nigeria!
President Buhari was sick, he was flown to London, UK. His son, Yusuf Buhari had an accident two days ago, he was flown out to Germany this morning.
Citizens that suffers & pay TAX, don’t have access to good healthcare in Nigeria
Our leaders are shameless and visionless.

https://twitter.com/GreatGracious/status/946449910400016389
If Muhammodu Buhari had fixed just 1 hospital in Nigeria, his Son Yusuf Buhari would have been treated there.
But he has to be flown to where they have fixed 1 hospital there.
— Israel Oladipupo O. MBA, MEM 🦁 🇳🇬 🇫🇷 (@LadiSpeaks) December 28, 2017
Dear Yusuf Buhari,
I wish you well and safe Recovery but when you come back, Take your time and ponder on the following.
A Thread! pic.twitter.com/3fxHZfpIXF
— PRESIDENT OKONKWO (@IkechuQwu) December 28, 2017
Yusuf Buhari, the son of President Buhari has been flown to Germany this morning following a bike accident in Abuja.
I thought he was hospitalized in Abuja yesterday
His father should improve the health system, so people who can’t afford to fly to Germany can benefit from it.
— Ọdọfín M Abiodun (@OdofinMA) December 28, 2017
And these
I did not get fuel to travel to my village but Yusuf Buhari carry bike dey do play-play for Abuja road that is empty because of fuel scarcity..... Any way quick recovery. God no dey sleep sha

Bashir Gwandu and Yusuf Buhari were in that crash together. Why the silence on the 2nd victim?
The speed with which the Presidency Media Team rushed to the Internet to publish the story of Yusuf Buhari's "accident" made me suspect something. THEY WANTED TO CONTROL THE NARRATIVE!
— Nejeeb Bello Oyarese (@NejeebBello) December 28, 2017
If Yusuf Buhari like, he shouldn't pull through, I don't care. Several Nigerians didn't pull through and are not pulling through. They are humans, and there's nothing special about him. Him kuku get privilege to go hospital abroad
— Gift 🖤 (@gyftama) December 28, 2017
The presidency was quick to wish Yusuf Buhari a speedy recovery on Twitter, they kept quite about the brutality of SARS & staged a pro-SARS rally
So, Yusuf live is more important than the hundreds of innocent citizens that lost their lives in the hands of SARS?
Evil leaders!
— Ọdọfín M Abiodun (@OdofinMA) December 28, 2017
Yusuf Buhari got involved in an accident is assured of the best medical care.
Buhari and those hypocrites calling for unending prayers should understand that Yusuf's life isn't more precious than that of the Shiites, Boko Haram and Fulani herdsmen victims.
— PRESIDENT OKONKWO (@IkechuQwu) December 28, 2017
We wish Yusuf a quick recovery.
The president of Liberia
This week, George Weah, former international footballer was elected as the 25th President of Liberia in the country’s first democratic transition since 1944. The football community around the world congratulated the President-Elect on his victory.

Nigerians joined in too... the Nigerian way
George Weah as called an illiterate, he went back to school, came back to contest for president & won.
Buhari was called an illiterate, he refused to go back to school, came back and become the president of Nigeria with ordinary Birth Certificate
How will Nigeria be great?

If it were in Nigeria; we wld dismiss George Weah as a joker & inexperienced, despite his going back to school & a stint at the Senate. We would have asked that Charles Taylor be released from prison to run because of his "experience"
Today we cheer because it is not Nigeria.

If George Weah were Nigerian, some clowns would be laughing at him, saying he can't win his consistency, and promoting the same recycled dirty old politicians.
Who needs change when they can pocket some chump change?

But in #Nigeria if Twitter children see Fela Durotoye or other bright minds indicate their interest to contest for Presidency, they'll laugh n say he can't win due to XYZ reasons
Our youths, esp those on Twitter, are part of our MAJOR problems

GTBank and fraud
If you are a Guaranty Trust Bank (GTB) customer and you woke up during the course of this week to an unexpected debit alert from the bank, know that you're not alone.
