This is the Ghafla! Fool Who Declared Lupita Will Never Win an Oscar

This morning, my good friend, the Nigerian ting has been left eating his own words. And I made sure he eats a humble pie because immediately Lupita was declared an Oscar winner as the Best Supporting Actress in 12 Years A Slave, I gave him a call to laugh at his cynicism.

Why you may ask? Well, this guy, Uncle Chim Tuna throughout last week was making the loudest noise (you just know how mouthy these West Africans can get – no offence) about how Lupita was not going to win the Academy Awards because she’s black and all bull*defacate*. We (everyone at the office) thought that was the end of the argument but this guy was hell-bent to make us all believe that Lupita will not be anywhere near the coveted Oscar award.

To everyone’s astonishment Chim’s glumness pushed him to put up an opinion piece just hours before the 86^th Academy Awards ceremony (mind you we don’t work over the weekend so you can imagine how atrocious he can get) in which he went on and on with his conjectures on why this flawless and talented actress won’t be the first Kenyan and African to clinch an Academy Award. I sat in disbelief as I watched the article go viral as he let out a maniacal laughter like The Joker.

That was until 6AM this morning.

Fortunately, the 31 year old breakout beauty won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress becoming the 7^th black actress to win and joining 14 other black actors who have won the white-dominated Oscars.

And to make him eat his words to full satisfaction, we let him break the news about Lupita’s huge win 🙂

The icing on the cake came in her acceptance speech in which she proved the likes of Chim awfully wrong. In his face, she said;

“…When I look down at this golden stature, may it remind me and every little child that no matter where you’re from, your dreams are valid…”

Now meet Uncle Pessimist Tuna in his full douchebaggery;
