A first class of this ‘talent’ was displayed on the night of Friday, July27, 2012 during the opening ceremony of the on-going Olympics games in London, U.K. Patriotic Nigerians had taken to social media to rant about their expectations regarding the costumes, the arrangement and the spectacle expected of the convoy, all of which didn’t seem pleasing to them, as expressed in subsequent tweets and comments, which of course is another reason Nigerians are rare, as things rarely impress or appeal them.
Although the parade lasted for less than five minutes, it continued for hours on the micro blogging site, Twitter and like vultures on a carcass, each person pecked off a part of the parade and feasted on it. While some complained about the presence of the white guy who dared to be a part of the black train, others picked on the First Lady for failing to act like her American counterpart, who showed up to give support to her fellow Nationals. The excited woman who danced so hard, apparently trying to enjoy her few minutes of fame, was not spared for putting too much energy in her ‘ibo-istic’ dance so was the guys who had on dark shades, something most condemned as a fashion mis-rep.
I watched with mixed feelings as Nigerians shared a joke of common interest and felt unmoved about it. While a part of me felt aggrieved and wanted to sanction my colleagues for making such derogatory comments, I thought it wise to be happy for in a long time, Nigerians can share a joke together and not the usual complaints, mourning and fear that has engulfed the entire Nation in recent times, courtesy of the plane crash, economic hardship and not forgetting the Boko Haram sect, who seem to have taken a break, apparently because of the Rammadan period.
There is always a cause to smile in every situation which perhaps, was why Nigerians reacted in such manner. Here are some tweets that may interest you.
