80% of Nigerians on social media don’t understand satire

80% of Nigerians on social media don’t understand satire. Deep down, I think the number is a little higher. Something like 90%. But let me leave the 20% margin for those whose sole purpose on the comment section would be to scream “don’t generalise”. How much is your “don’t generalise” worth in Emefiele’s floated dollar? Alube!

More than half the time here, I try to comically relieve myself though. Or relieve you. Whichever; I don’t even know. Only rarely does the frustration ever get to me. Majority of the time, even when extremely pissed about contemporary political issues, I look at the comical side of things. Is there a margin for humour, is there a way to look at the issue without going bat-shit-crazy? Is there a Mike Asukwo moment in all of this?

Some get it, others foam at the mouth and write long-winded epistles like St Paul in his letter to the Corinthians. I read your monologue, oya see Premier League carry.

For some of us, satire is life. It is like the last line of defence for our sanity. For how can you discuss this country with any seriousness and not lose your mind? Nobi me and you. Even Apostle needed some stepping down things after fighting with the Short Herod. Herod of where? Nobi for my mouth you go hear am. Make dem no come Makori me. So bear with me if I took shots at your favourite celebrity, politician or spiritual father. If only I could do that every day.
