He further went on to break down popular Nigerian meals like garri, fufu and indomie with the calories they contain and how much exercise is needed to expend those calories. The exercises he used though — two hours of "shoki dancing", one hour of "chasing chickens" — are so hilarious, we had to share them.

Which do you find the funniest?
