This year has been so many things for many different people. This list is special.
Have you ever wondered how unfair it is that the Olympics has no recognition for the competitors that come in last or worse, DNF — don’t finish the race? We’re fixing that right now. For your viewing pleasure, we give you 2012′s biggest losers in Nigeria, and an International Contender.
Aluu Community
It’s funny how we still condemn Rome, its people and its amphitheatre for their lust for blood and gore and the demise of their fellow men. It’s funny how we watch Spartacus and think ‘Oh, that happened centuries ago’ and we feel safe enough about eating popcorn as we watch the men go down in (fake) blood. Then it becomes real, too real. Oh look, see how easy it is to just go off. But we’ll stop there. The Aluu Community lost, bad. And if this list were graded by any particular order they would be first. Gold medal guys. But we digress
NIGERIA’S OLYMPIC BASKETBALL TEAM
We give the Nigerian BasketBall Team at the Olympics full points for qualifying against the odds. But they immediately lose all those points for the game they played against the US Team. At no other time was it more convenient to claim to be Somali than that night. Oh the sound of our ‘enemies’ laughter sounded like a thousand clashing cymbals. Oh it was shameful. Woeful. We could go on and on.
GOLDIE.
We’ll stop there. Just because we love you. :-*
FAROUK LAWAN.
The Honorable! Ok you will have to admit that this one is funny in a morbidly shameful way. I mean we all know and say that corruption has eaten deep into our fabric as a nation but Our dear Honorable was innovate with the use of his clothes.
DANA AIR
At this point, let us have a moment of silence for the lives. We miss you even though we don’t know you. Even though they came back, God knows how they pulled that off.
MO’HITS.
Yeah they lost. We wish they had stayed together. How does that saying go? Together we stand, divided we fall. And here we were thinking we’d get another Mo’hits compilation. But no. We got Solar Plexus.
They went. They Saw. They performed woefully. Billions of Naira spent in preparation and 0 medals to show for it. As if that was not enough, then a lawmaker on the delegation went ahead to rack up an undisclosed large bill and refused to pay. Should we really go on?
OCCUPY NIGERIA
My oh my. Again this would have been the biggest fail but there’s more.
JAMES IBORI.
He did a very good job with stalling and elongating the court process so he could stay out of jail for a long bit. But the rollercoaster came to a close this year. While we may be glad that that’s wrapped, a few people may not be so pleased with how short the sentence (5 years) is.
And making a run for it from International lands, we have the one and only:
LANCE ARMSTRONG.
In 60 seconds? Mr. Livestrong-I-came-back-from-cancer-to-win-the-tour-de-france was doping. It’s too poor. Some of us actually looked up to him. We’d ask for a minute of silence on his behalf but no. To the doghouse with you, sir.
