Social Media 400 BC | Holy Lafta and Musik

Hola!

I got a BB broadcast message some time ago that I considered funny (Thanks Grace). It inspired me to come up with something similar which I hope you find comical. I don’t know about you but it gladdens me when people around me are happy and elated - especially if I had a hand in producing that joy and laughter. 

I admire people who have a good sense of humor and can make people laugh. A merry heart is good medicine you know. 

Perhaps that’s why I’m looking forward to being at Holy Lafta and Musik tomorrow, Sunday 30th June 2013 by 5:30pm at the Citadel and Towers. 

Oh, you haven’t heard of it? 

Please see the advert after the cut.

Now, just imagine Akpororo, Owen Gee, Freke and Yaw all under one roof. Hilarious is definitely an understatement. Besides the humor, there’s also good music from Tim Godfrey and the Extreme Crew, Tehillah Company and Rock City Crew. Hope we’ll see you there? For details on the event, please watch the clip above if you haven’t done so already.

Now, back to the broadcast I spoke of earlier. It was titled “Statuses we would be updating on FB, Twitter and BBM if we were in the times of Moses, Noah, Adam and Abraham”

Here are some I came up with (yeah yeah, they’re not that funny I know, just work with me here...)

1. Tweet from an Israelite: @omoisreali

“So Samson still tells Delilah his weakness knowing full well that she meant no good? Na wa o. Judge indeed. #which kain love be dis?

2. BB Status of the Butler in Pharoah’s Palace:

4. Balaam Tweets: @showmethemoney

5. Facebook user on Elijah’s 40 day walk:

6. Tweet from Soldier on Wall of Jericho: @mumusoja

So the Prophet lived with a widow for that long? Wow! Do those kinda MOGs still exist? Just saying #sealed lips #straight face

8. FB status of 3rd Captain in 2nd Kings 1

But really, did 102 people have to die just because a king wants to talk to a Man of God? Why didn’t they just arrange the meeting on the mountain? Annoyingly enough, the king still dies. #smh# RIP guys...

9. BB DM of Widow's Neighbour: PIN 2KNG417

Like seriously, she borrowed two pots from me and now she's a dealer in oil? Please, has anyone got Elisha's PIN? #double portion tinz #oil and gas on my mind

10. Tweet between Israelis during the Exodus

@mannamuncher: is it just me or our garments seem to have become spandex ever since we left Egypt?

@deut8v4: yeah babe! noticed it too. I'm saving the shopping money. By the way, do you want some quail stew? Think I picked one too many of 'em birds. Don't blame me, they were all over the place na.
