Kenyans And Nigerians Fight It Out On Twitter!
My cousins on both sides were quick to call me up to let me know that Kenyans and Nigerians were tweefing. For the uninitiated, tweefing is duking it out on twitter; settling beef. And today’s battle was epic!
The beef all stems from Kenya’s abhorrent treatment at the hands of Nigeria’s football federation. Nigeria has taken to poor sportsmanship if the truth is told. Nigeria would win anyway but they have taken to denying Kenya’s Harambee Stars proper training facilities. Bleurgh!
But away from that, some of the tweets have been as follows starting with the winner from Kenya:
“#SomeoneTellNigeria we can reduce them from 9ja to 0ja or 1ja in minutes”
Bright Gmeli was only too eager to share this one with me. That Ghanaian ting!
Then there were these:
#SomeoneTellNigeria It is Only in their ‘movies’ that a 35 year old Lady will play the role of a primary school girl.
#SomeOneTellNigeria Kenya has three presidents, we don’t depend on #Goodluck to have one
#SomeOneTellNigeria We can disfigure P-Square to P-Rectangle or even P-Triangle
With #SomeoneTellNigeria I see Kenya Trending Worldwide and Nigerians with their #SomeoneTellKenya Trending in Nigeria. Were Twitter Kings
Then Nigerians responded:
“Did you know that Dangote could hire the richest man in Kenya to clean his shoes?”
“u knw all our Nigerian stars, ur TV stations show our movies, bt we dont even knw where u r on the map”
“We are so rich even our grammar takes holidays”
“the Harambeeboys are playing African Champions and they should be glad.”
“The most popular game in Kenya is Hunger Games”
“Someone tell Kenyans that no matter how far they run, they can never run away from hunger”
And this: Kenyans going to the mall:
“Wait, Kenya? No be that place wey only Ostrich and camel dey live? Human beings dey live there?”
“Your president looks like a predator with a bonny head!”
I opt to be neutral on this one. I cannot pick a side. I love both. I am both.
