What has happened in 2020 so far?
An overwhelming lot!To cheer your spirits, I compiled a list of 11 Nigerian Trending Topics and Memes on Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, Politics etc. that you probably forgot happened on Obasanjo's Internet and sum up 2020 so far.
Bonus points if you get the month in 2020 when this happened. Leave it in the comments below.
We gatts to wash this year away. Let's do it with laughter.
Subscribe to the blog for more content like this. Let's get started!
1. Ghana Dancing Coffin Pallbearers
These guys are legends! The clips were found from a random BBC funeral documentary done a while ago and of course with our dark humour on Twitter, we decided to turn it to a meme!
It went so viral that clubs in Hong Kong bring in drinks on glowing pall bearers to the VIP section. Hope they are running the OG's their check!
2. House Party
The way we all jumped ship from app to app this year, they need to flog us. Before there was ClubHouse, there was House Party and I'm not surprised we moved. Wahala for who no lock room with potential bae. Won ma ji lowo e! Se get.
3. Quarantine Radio
Quarantine! Quarantine!
How did Tory Lanez blow and get cancelled in the same year!
It's true when they say an idle mind is the devil's workshop because the PG 18 shenanigans that happened on IG Live during Lockdown period. Nawa o! The boredom was real! Thank the Lord, the ladies found Only Fans.
DO YOU HAVE HOIL! 😆😆
4. VERZUZ Battles
A big shout out to all the versus battles set up this year;
Battle of the DJs
Sarz vs Shizzi; Both blessed us that night with throwback and modern songs for Sarz to now son Shizzi and birth this beauty of a meme.
Battle of the Hits
Wizkid vs Vybz Kartel; Naija Twitter Stand Up Now! We shut Twitter down that night. Wizkid cleared the whole plate winning 10/10 in the Battle of Hits against Vybz Kartel.
Honorable mention to No Signal Radio for setting up the hit for hit battles.
5. Don't Leave Me Challenge
We
finally found an outlet to tell pun jokes and this challenge even went viral
internationally especially on TikTok. Shout out Josh2Funny for smashing the
internet by creating the challenge.
6. 90 Day Fiance (Usman & Baby Girl Lisa)
Someone should check on our Northern brothers. It's like them and American senior citizens are 5&6.
Everyone was talking about Ed and Rose but na us know say Usman and Lisa were the hidden gems of the show. I laugh tire. Let's pray Usman doesn't fumble the bag and gets blue passport unlike Michael.
7. 2020 Nike Nigeria Kit Release
I think it is safe to say that the 2020 Nike Nigeria Line is Nike's favourite and they definitely put more effort into our kits than anybody else periodt. The release of the Agbada Nike hoodie and the new line threw me!
8. Hush Puppi & Wood Berry Arrests
Our Yahoo boys were found out.
I won't lie, Instagram is not the same without HushPuppi. Who is the person stepping on my neck daily with Gucci coats and Birkin man bags. Free HushPuppi 2020!
9. NDDC Public Hearing
The whole investigation was a mess from start to finish but when are we ever serious? Of course we turned the whole thing into a joke and got a gold mine of memes and ran with it.
To put the icing on the cake, the NDDC MD decided to stage collapse after being probed about N1.3 billion that was mismanaged.
OFF YOUR MIC HONORABLE!
10. Otedola Ferarri Saga
Imagine waking up in the morning, minding your own quarantine business o!
You
hop on Instagram and then you see not one, not two, but THREE NEW FERRARIs! Color
coded to match the Otedola Power Puff Girls personalities. A whole photoshoot!
Ahh
Mr. Ote$ kindly help my destiny sir. The internet fried that morning. Mr Eazi
should come and share tips on how to marry into the family.
11. Big Brother Naija Lockdown
The Grand Finale! This is a bit of a cop out. There's no way you forgot this happened this year but I thought it would be disrespectful not to drop this in the list.
BBNaija single handedly saved the Entertainment Industry and dropped more than enough content to last a lifetime.
Gbosa to ERICA; the content queen. She had the whole internet watching her on Saturdays and on the edge of their seat.
The Love Pentagon in that house was intense.
It only makes us imagine what Love Island Nigeria would have in store for us.
