So this article was posted on thenet.ng. It was written by Chris
Ogunlowo and I found it critically hilarious that I had to share it
here. If you have ever imagined famous Nigerian personalities as
diseases take a look!
1. Wizkid Syndrome:A chronic tendency to create catchy and repetitive
hits to a loyal fan base with a boyish charm that induces envy from
peers and late-bloomers, which also hides the fact, that one is
approaching quarter-life.
2. Davidotis:A psychiatric condition whereby a sufferer survives
speculations of whether genuine talent or one’s father’s wealth is the
source of one’s success, alongside a pervaded comparison with an equally
talented whiz-kid.
3. Tuface Syndrome:A rare syndrome that occurs when prodigious talent
meets prodigious baby-making ability but with a legendary status, strong
social equity and a staying power that keep a whole industry in awe.
4. D’banj Obsessive Disorder:A disease characterized by the feeling that
one’s best days are firmly behind and, as a result, one looks for
outlets to compensate for fading stardom and income, including taking
relief in farming-
5. Dangotiosis:A condition marked by an obsession with Dangote‘s wealth, only curable by a decision to mind one’s own business.
6. Lindapilepsy:A strong and strange resentment that occurs when news of
Linda Ikeji’s wealth arises, which is commonly observed among
struggling publicists, jealous digital marketers, hungry journalists,
and retired or rival bloggers.
7. Iyanyamariasis:The abnormal ability of a cell to spot errors in its
former ways before proceeding to create a trademark style that takes
waist gyrations to nerve-racking heights with performances worthy of Mr.
Universe Pageantry.
8. Tontolitis: The debilitating ability to sustain fame in an erratic way as it was acquired while still smiling to the bank.
9. PSquarisasis:When two malignant cells take the understanding of a
market to unprecedented heights resulting in a dominance previously
thought impossible and doing it with a discernible Igbo accent.
10. Don Jazzy Disorder: A disorder that makes an organ produce
back-to-back hits and maintain a social equity that can embarrass
pastors and politicians, including a social media addiction and an
idiosyncratic singing style that impresses.
11. Kceeosis: A cell’s ability to confuse celebrity with a right to make
embarrassing wardrobe choices and a knack for coming out even more
horrendous than a previous time despite public outcry and bile from
popular bloggers.
12. Jenniferiasis: The ability of an organ to exhibit behavior that
would ordinarily be considered razz to a point where the lines between
acting and reality are blurred but compensated with popular adulation
and brand endorsements.
13. MIplasia: A type of dwarfism that compensates the lack of bone
growth with incredible rhyming prowess and a persona capable of inducing
endless admiration and beef from hustling rappers.
14. Ice Prince Cerebral Cramps:vA disorder that causes exaggerated
hip-hop postures, a rigid conformity to infantile end-rhymes that turn
rap songs into mainstream classics and also results in multiple awards
than most “serious” rappers.
15. Mode Complex: An affliction that causes an artist to be the default
reference for prodigious & clever wordplay that, sadly, does not
correlate with the amount of albums sold or account balance, a living
proof of the saying: ‘grammar no be money’.
16. Dakolomentality: A rare psychotic disorder that inflicts a sufferer
with unlimited guttural talent but indistinctive brand positioning &
packaging.
17. Olamide Palsy: A malignant tumor that involves a blatant display of
one’s ethnicity and background combined with traits mostly reserved for
touts but interestingly made into a premium musical package that
surprises earlier sufferers of the same tumor who faded into obscurity.
18. Phynognomy: A severe condition similar to Olamide Palsy but with an
Igbo flair and an ability to turn what would have been a bad hair day
for most into a phenomenal signature look.
19. Bella Naija Syndrome: An affliction whereby the Nigerian national
man-hour is spent keeping track of who wore what to where until one
wakes up to the reality of a wasted lifetime.
20. Kedike Syndrome:A syndrome that causes a sufferer to endure a clean
image despite the presence of a latent sexuality which experts guess
might lead to a Rihanna Crisis or, in the extreme, a psychiatric
condition of Miley Cyrus proportions….
