From the Kupe boys to Kelly, Nigerians are obsessed with attractive people dancing

In 2018, a group of four dark-skinned African men (Teddy Ovo, Habitu Etoi, Jim Seuh and Yoyo) based in France broke the internet through their dancing and even started a challenge - kupe challenge. 

They soon became known as the Kupe boys and even had a mini tour. They came to Abuja, Nigeria and had a concert with many screaming ladies adoring them.

Nigerian men were not pleased with this. They felt their dancing was silly and they had no real talent.

In time, the fame of the Kupe boys diminished and most people soon found them annoying.

History will always repeat itself. This year, a dancing Togolese Lady called Bhadie Kelly is trending on Tik Tok and Twitter, and Nigerian women are not happy about it.

The pretty lady with a slim waist and voluptuous behind is on the neck of both male and female Nigerians for different reasons. 

The men are enamored by her and enjoy the jealousy in some women. The women, unsurprisingly, feel she is overhyped and are even making rebuttal videos to prove that they are finer than Kelly.

Nigerian women and men are cut from the same cloth, the fact that they both can’t see how ridiculous they’ve been in the past and now is astonishing.

If anything, it proves that the internet is a great avenue to feed our eyes with different content and a member of the opposite sex who we find attractive dancing is premium entertainment - at least for a while.

Whether the latest amusement is Kupe boys or Kelly, the internet has a very short attention span. Let people enjoy things while they last.

The person or people they are fawning over should have their own fifteen seconds of fame and use it to their advantage.

The popular saying is the internet never forgets, and even though it is true, the internet will soon forget its latest fad and move on to the next shiny thing. We are on the internet for entertainment anyway.
