Ever wondered why Africans and black people in general do certain sports and not others? Well, Nigerian comedian Okey Bakassi has some good reasons for black people not doing too well in some of the events in the ongoing London Olympic Games.
According to the comedian, black people don’t do so well in swimming because they don’t trust the ‘Whiteman’ when it comes to water. He said since the white folks shipped several Africans as slaves on the high seas, most Africans and black people feel that if they get into the water, they may appear on a plantation farm in an undiscovered continent at the other end of the water. He said however that when it comes to sporting activities that involve running, the ‘Black Man’ is king because black people are good at running away from danger.
Okey Bakassi made the joke the Night of 1014 Laughs at The Dome, Accra International Conference Centre on Saturday.
