Do Nigerians Get Satire? by LA2(m): 12:13pm On Dec 20, 2010 |
Once upon a time in Nigeria, reading newspapers was a way to improve ones grammar and prose, such was the professionalism of our journalists. Today however, and especially with the spread of the internet, Nigerian journalism seems to have gone the way of every other thing in the country - witness the poor reporting, sensationalism and obvious lies published on some Nigerian news websites. Well, I for one found it refreshing to discover a Nigerian 'News' website that tells you upfront that all their stories are made up. Yup, that's right, all fabricated! But why would they do that, you may ask. Well, wazobiareport.com is a satire website, and as the site itself tells you, all the stories are 'BS made up to entertain you.' Much as I enjoy the daily articles and the insane replies sent by their resident Agony aunt Ngozi, I still can't help asking myself, "Do Nigerians get satire?" |

Well, I guess that answers it. 24 hours and not a single post, reply, comment, or even a challenge. I guess Nigerians really DON'T get satire. Oh well. |
