7 Kinds Of Nigerians You Meet At A Viewing Center

You recall here , we told you football was one of the reasons

Nigerians are happy people and we meant that. Still do.

Football is the most viewed sport in this part of the world, and

people love to watch it. One thing that characterizes football

here in Nigeria is the love for crowds too. People love to

watch their football in the company of friends, random men

drinking a beer and all. It is believed that it makes the whole

90 minutes more fun you know?

So if you’re one of the people who frequent viewing centers to

watch football, here are the kinds of people you may likely

come across

1. The Analysts

The analysts know almost everything about the clubs playing.

One would think they went through courses on the football

teams honestly. They are amazing anchors too and they keep

making comments in between the match, backed with solid

stats that if you check later, you’ll find out was true. 

2. The Gamblers

These ones are a special breed of people because they can

either be really angry or really happy after the course of 90

minutes. You’ll most likely hear words like “make my game no

go cast ” or even stuff like “na only this game remain make my

game click“. They’re often with their phones monitoring

statistics of other matches they played for or refreshing all the

betting sites you know. 

3. The Die-Hard Fans

The die-hard fans come into the viewing center, with their

jerseys most likely branded with their names at the back and

are keenly focused on the match like their whole lives

depended on it (Well, bragging rights depend on them). But

anyway, they flare up when one of the players makes a silly

mistake that cost them a goal. When their club win, they’re the

happiest people. They can buy drinks for the entire center but

don’t dare go close when their clubs loose. 

4. The Talkative/Know It All

They’re more annoying than the analysts because they’re

always talking every minute. Seating close to these types of

people will not only make you angry, but may even give you a

headache in the long run. They keep making noise, sometimes

even bringing players who aren’t on the pitch into their

discussions

5. The Fencers

The fencers are people who do not support any club but they

come to watch good football. They know a lot about football,

and are quite quiet. They tell you things like “I belong to no

one. Just here to enjoy good football”. They celebrate with the

winning team commending them and all. And that’s it, until

the next viewing day  

6. The Chameleons

The only difference between the chameleons and fencers is

that the chameleons probably have a team they support before

the match day. But when another team wins, they become

fans of the winning team. Because who has time to be

cheering a team that cannot win? 

7. The Trolls

The trolls are similar to the fencers also, but they exist to troll.

They laugh at the loosing team, and will push the die hard fans

to the extreme really which may lead to broken bottles and all.
