The famous, "There is God," video skit by the
first lady, Patience Jonathan, is Nigeria's
most viewed non-music footage ever on
popular online video site, YouTube, the site's
owner, Google, announced Thursday.
The video, published in 2014 by Channels TV,
showed Mrs. Jonathan breaking down at a
meeting over the abduction of about 276
schoolgirls by Boko Haram insurgents in
Chibok, Borno State, in a dramatic display of
emotion that drew global attention.
The meeting was the First Lady's first public
acknowledgement of the Chibok abduction,
one of Boko Haram's mass kidnapping that
shocked the world.
Addressing a group of women, and the
principal of the secondary school where the
girls were seized, Mrs. Jonathan launched
into what seemed a stagy show of grief,
scolding the principal for her handling of the
insurgents' attack.
She questioned why the principal hesitated to
honour her invitation for a meeting in Abuja,
and the circumstances of the kidnap.
With not satisfactory response from the
principal, the Frist Lady exploded, "All these
blood you people are shedding, there is God
o, there is God o, God... o... .Chai, there is
God o," she lamented repeatedly before
dabbing tears from her eyes with a
handkerchief.
Mrs. Jonathan's outburst was also
transcribed to imitate her inflection as, "All
these blood you people are sharing, diaris
God o, diaris God oooo, all this bloods you
are sharing, chai, chai, chai diaris God oooh".
The video drew wide attention across the
world, at a time the international community
was fixed on how the Nigerian government
was responding to the abduction.
The girls remain in captivity more than a year
after.
The video ranking was released by Google on
Thursday as YouTube celebrates its 10th year
anniversary. The most watched videos in
Nigeria were ranked in the music, non-music
and advert categories.
