White Washed [Funny Video]

Chronicled by Afronuts @ Wednesday, March 04, 2015

Stan And Toheeb, the two goofballs at my office are it again with another funny video which features curvy clown Lolade. Its actually another vine but I just had to share it because the idea was hilarious. Oh wait...I did say I'd be sharing more these vids didn't I?

Yep, I did...and so here are Stan and Toheeb again getting caught 'white - handed'....lol, watch it and you'll understand what I mean. 

Guys in the office laughed their asses off watching this. Good way to lighten up a day that's bullied with work.
I'm having ideas again for another...

Monday Vs Friday [Funny Video]

Chronicled by Afronuts @ Monday, March 02, 2015

Its Monday morning again and what's on most people's mind is OGIM - 'Oh God It's Monday' and they just can't wait till the end of the week to start smiling as its TGIF - 'Thank God Its Friday'. And so a couple of funny guys in my office decided to play out the truth in a very short and funny video. 

Its a good way to make ourselves smile amidst the bleakness of work.

Its actually meant to be a vine (Come to think of it, Naija folks instagram like crazy but hardly do vines). It got about 600 view on Facebook in one day I think...We should do more of these often...after all, all work and no play fit kill pesin.

LOL...did the camera lie? I think not...Don't we all feel like this a lot of times?

Yeeesssss we do!

Flashback Fridays: Basi And Company - Classic Naija Sitcom

Chronicled by Afronuts @ Friday, September 12, 2014

Who ever remembers 'Basi and Company'? Oh...okay, let me rephrase that - how many of you were born when the 'Basi and Company' series ran way back on NTA between1985 -1990.

Well, this is my Flashback Friday reminisce...

Basi and Comapny was a comedy series that stood out way back then for many reasons.

• It was one of the first if not the first Naija comedy sitcom that had a laughing background audience.
• It gravitated from being a TV show to being published as a comedy fiction book series.
• It also had album series for listening pleasure.
• Its comic references and material was unique and so different from that of other funny sitcoms in those days.
• It received syndication to stations across Africa. 
• It 'derived inspiration from African folklore, and lampooned widespread corruption in oil-rich Nigeria while highlighting its consequences'.
• So far, 'to date, it remains one of Africa's most watched comedy programmes, with an estimated thirty million viewers during its peak'.
• It was written and produced by the late great Ken Saro-Wiwa a writer, television producer, environmental activist, and winner of the Right Livelihood Award and the Goldman Environmental Prize.who was criminally executed by a specially convened tribunal in 1995.

Late Ken Saro-Wiwa

The series was also reputable for its use of impeccable spoken English which was deliberate. Saro-Wiwa once stated in an interview in 1987: "We should go for proper English so we can relate to the rest of the world...one reason Basi is so popular is that young people are using it to learn English".

Another memorable aspect of 'Basi and Company' was its well defined character who all had well defined mannerisms. Each character had their own peculiar catchphrases.

Basi (aka Mr B) - To be a millionaire, think like a millionaire!; Holy Moses!

Madam (aka Madam de madam): Come in if you're handsome and rich; It's a matter of cash!

Alali: I'm hungry, Mr. B!

Dandy: Hell, I should have known that!; Can I have a piece of the action?

Segi: Ciao!

Has any Naija comedy sitcom of today been able to match up to the peculiarity of 'Basi & Comapny' today? I don't know of any at all.

Or does anyone know of any?

I someday hope the series could be rebooted...or rather another sitcom that applies the same peculiarities.

I rest my case. Have an awesome week y'all!

The Gbagauns of Yoruba Nollywood 5 [Photos]

Chronicled by Afronuts @ Monday, June 16, 2014

We are back again with another post of the 'gbagauns' captured from Yoruba Nollywood.

By now there's just no need to define what 'gbagaun' means. I just hope it does cease to be a term for the hilarious scattering of the English language and thus render these series obsolete. Nowadays things trend and die out faster than a microwave cooks Indomie noodles. So let's see what we have for today...

Subtitles that just screw up your imagination in twisted insane knots...'sower' ke?

So one can get married to lateness...abi...am I missing something?

No gbagaun here actually...its just the funny statement that got me cracking

The subtitles abi na end credits here are suffering mutiple grammartosis. Haba!

LOL! I just couldn't resist putting this one up. No gbagaun here but...hahaha!

I'm confused oh! I must have missed out some verbs in high school
...abi what does 'to diseve' mean? And what the pangolo is 'veginnity'?

No she is not jealoused, she is actually 'gbagauned' by your statement.

Hian! I just developed cross-eyes reading this.

This one 'deserver' no comment.

If God catch you....ehn. The person wey script this flick get liver oh

Its official! AIDS now hides in women's buttocks...yoruba movies sha! LOL!

But the grammar wey your subtitle speak scare me sha...

The gbagaun even makes the threat scarier!

So people's backgrounds can be far away...WTH does that mean?

*Searches the world map for a country called 'Abroad'*
Nope!...I didn't see any...

Let's all be 'kinding' when we translate this south western Nigerian
mother tongue to oyinbo language oh!

Even the idea behind the grammatical blunder no make sense!

I'm sorry but that lion go miss road enter gutter...heu! see yarn oh!

The last five 'gbagaun' shots were actually from the same movie titled Ewa Ibale! One whole movie dedicated to grammatical genocide! People if you ever come across movies like this with a barage of bad english bombardment, holla at me so I can fish out the diction debris! It was a serious movie but I was just laughing at the way English got butchered to smithereens on screen,

Have you seen any Naija yoruba flick with crappy subtitles? Gimme their names, let me go pick out the stiffs...lol.

Have a nice week ahead!

The 'Personally' Music Rant by GEJ & Patience

Chronicled by Afronuts @ Monday, May 26, 2014

These guys at Buni TV are just cracking me the hell up with their satires. Thanks to the crazy internet memes replicated after the first lady's 'there is God oh' fiasco, they just keep getting more materials for their work. Like I said back then in an earlier post where I spoke about the show and its potential to become a success because of the 'loadedness' of scenarios in Nigeria's political arena. 

Now the 'there is God oh' phenomena has inspired Buni Tv to do a spoof music video featuring Puppet President Jonathan and Dame Patience.

Nna...odikwa serious oh...the shit is funny! Watch! 

Only In Naija 5 [Photos]

Chronicled by Afronuts @ Monday, May 05, 2014

Shit happens they say.

And in my beloved and insane country Nigeria, we smell shit on a regular basis as it never stops happening. A popular proverb says every disappointment is a blessing and in many cases the proverb fails but also in many cases, it works in Naija. 

In what ways you may ask? In the way we do things as condition and circumstances warrant. No wonder we always say na condition bend crayfish. Its probably only in Naija crazy stuff like the ones in these photos can happen.

You're walking past a junction early in the morning and you see this...
yep, its a sacrifice and its real, not a Nollywood prop.
Many times these things look scary...and delicious
(with the assorted food items placed in there)

You can't cheat nature. This is either sleeping on duty or a case of sleep
catching you in the wrong place abi? Only in Naija...

A whole building rented by 3 different Pentecostal churches...
evangelism go hot for that area. 

If you saw a laptop named after Goodluck Jonathan would you buy it?
Probably not...maybe because it may be as effective as his administration?

Nigerians and burglary-proofing...when family members become the burglars

There must have also been 'attachment' in this plane...
And these folks look like people going to the east.
Ekene Dili Chukwu airways...lol

Before officials began arresting fake Youth Service Corp members,
this photo must have raised suspicion...

Only in Naija will you see swag and fashion that'll scare you...lol.

I honestly don't know if this was a joke but at the same
time it does look like an ingenious idea

If you wanna see more weird photos like this,
visit any Lagos marriage registry on Saturdays.
Marriage is big business

    

Those perverted three have received their reward right there
for helping a Youth Corp damsel in distress.

419 on a USB level. You'll be shocked to discover that
somebody could sell this in computer village.

She should have stuck to just wearing wrapper and blouse.
See as Jeggings dey do amebo about her 'monthly visitation'
and the 'rope' wey she dey call pant.

No matter how much you try to hide the lumps in a plate of
badly prepared Eba, a photo will always give it away.

The Multipurpose bride...getting married and also serving the guests
yeah, it happens in Naija

Now I don't see any ingenuity in this...unless that cockerel is adopted.

The designer of this house/staircase needs to stop playing 'snakes and ladders' and face reality...haba!

While some are paranoid of people seeing their password
or the small change in their accounts, others forget that ATM pavilion
no be their parlour. And why didn't anyone think of the midgets?

In Naija O.Y.O (On your own) is always the case!
If you want for landlord or government to do anything,
you go wait till eternity.

Obsession with selfies...we see your tits. We also smell your shit.

Only in Naija are school kids taken to supermarkets for excursion.

What can you notice about this photo?
Yeah...abokis with swag....the ice prince generation

What they probably never told you about this stupid photo
-- that the grass the girls are lying on dey scratch person like mad for bodi

Is this proof that there are times goats have more sense than human beings?

The love of football has robbed many of their senses
...wetin concern Chelsea FC with your marital life?

The hospital staff must have thought they hired a Caucasian to do this job.

If a guy did this, I wouldn't be surprised. But a babe...???

The ice prince generation again.....swag on the mallo level.

Even Naija children won't let awoof pass them by....

Naija police and traffic wardens are also professional
stuntmen all motivated by the Naira.

Lesson: Never locally 'represent' while eating at a party
taking place in a community that has too many goats.

Car wash apprenticeship graduation ceremony.
You are all invited.

No...this is not a pair of undies discovered at an archaeological dig.
It is the 'pata' of an existing specie of women that African men relish. 

Have an awesome week y'all!
