Funny Factor Photos #4

Went round the net looking for outrageous shots which are mostly Nigerian and I came across these.

I guess this is what the TV series 'Spartacus' would look like if it were a Naija production.

Before it was 'yahoo yahoo' which involved conning foreigners
out of their cash on the internet. But lately I heard of one called
'yahoo plus' which was the same fraud scheme accompanied
by 'jazz', juju or voodoo. I guess this pic defnies it - African remote control!

How can this have a 'Complete Season One'? These Alaba boys sef!

I love my people. They know how to put things to good use...like using old election ballot boxes to sell puff puff.

When you attend an Igbo wedding like this one, don't be surprised
when you see an outrageous demand list like this from the bride's family!





Original versus Copycat

WHOA!!! I have been AWOL on this blog!

Forgive me for the hiatus. I was stuck between making up my mind whether to continue with this blog or close it down as I wasn't sure whether I could do something with it. Finally I got convinced to continue and here I am! 

So where do I start? 

Ha...yes. Nigerian movie industry is one serious culprit when it comes to copying movie titles. It makes me wonder...does stealing an existing title make the movie sell? Are Nigerians stupid enough to think its the same thing or close to it?

I mean...check this out.

The original.
Mind blowing movie that goes to extremes.

The Copycat.
I wonder whether the stern look on the fair lady's face and the dude
was also meant to match that of the ladies in the original.

 

 

The Original.
A masterpiece of a love story and an all time classic.




The Copycat. The visual reads more like 'The Slutty Woman' to me.
  



The Original.
Beautiful movie that explores love and romance
from a blind man's point of view.




The Copycat.
From the look of the pix, it seems as if
the so-called 'scent' was actually the 'fart' of a woman.



  

The Original.
An interesting series that has gotten a huge following and popular
amongst Nigerians who love watching series.

The Copycat!
In fact, it seems very inappropriate to make a Naija copycat version.
It just sucks and looking at the title and the image alone
makes me not want to watch it. What the hell?

Maltina Fail!

Maltina...nourishment for life.

That's the slogan that follows this Nigerian malt drink.

But I came across this nasty error in an unopened maltina bottle.

Was it a prank or someone in the factory was just plain careless?

What where they thinkin' ?

Saw this signboard near the abandoned bridge and road construction at Sango Ota, Ogun State. It's a fan club for a local yoruba musician called 'Pasuma'. What amused me is the dumb idea of putting an American flag in the background behind the artiste's picture. What's with the 'American visa lottery' mentality?

Duh...

Anybody have an idea who a 'Saw Doctor' is? Seems kind of odd to me.

Where there is weed, there is a warning...

I couldn't help catching this picture on my way from church one sunday. Obviously this location used to be a joint for weed smokers as you can see the warning sign printed on the shop by its owner - "Nobody should smoke Igbo here!" lol...'Igbo' is weed in Nigerian parlance.

Police & Thief

In the western world the kids call the game 'cops and robbers'

but here in Nigeria, the kids call it 'police and thief'.

Here's a police officer and a suspect in action on the streets of Lagos.

*NB. - I don't own this snapshot

Edible Sanitary Pad??

I don't know about other countries, but this sanitary pad is probably the most famous amongst sanitary pads in Nigeria. It's become so popular that the word 'always' could be used to refer to any other brand of sanitary pad. When ever you hear the word 'Always' here in Nigeria, the first thing that comes to your mind is this product, which is also an international brand.

    

 

You can then imagine my shock when I came across this chocolate wafer below also called 'Always'!

Are these guys playing a joke or just being dumb about selecting a brand name for their product?

Seriously, I found it hard enjoying this wafer without thinking that I was munching on a sanitary napkin!
