In the wake of the UEFA Champions League final and crazy-assed soccer fandom worldwide, a bus driver in Nigeria who also happened to be a Manchester United fan ran over four celebrating FC Barcelona fans after Barca defeated Man U 2-0. From the monolith:
The crowd in the town of Ogbo were celebrating Barcelona’s victory after Wednesday night’s match when the bus drove into them. A police spokeswoman said 10 people were injured and the driver was arrested.
“The driver had passed the crowd then made a U-turn and ran into them,” she said.
I’m really just blown away by this whole thing; it’s as weird as a couple of African-Americans in Florida getting into a fistfight over the Stanley Cup final. But I think people that are really diehard for one team have to be a frustrated lot. And I’d think bus drivers in Nigeria would have plenty on their plates to begin with. I’m sure they come home to their wives after a rough day and scream, “One of these days, Umbachukwu! Bang, zoom, to the moon!”


Afterwards the bus driver agreed to pay the hospital bills if the soccer fans helped his prince cousin transer some money.
I was just thinking that my Friday could use a bit more Tooncing up.
I’m more shocked that they can afford buses in Nigeria.
Bus = Modified Elephant
Everything I know about Nigerians I learned from the e-mails I’ve received from one of their deposed princes.
@Jim: I totally missed your comment. My foul.
Everything I learned abour Nigerians I learned from scud facebook friend requests.
How does this relate to bloodborne pathogens?
Most of those soccer fans weren’t really hit. They just flopped looking for a card.
My name is Nigerian Otto and I like to get Nigerian blotto.
