On Sunday yet another Ugandan university got its ass handed to it by a Kenyan institution of higher learning in that uni quiz show on UTV.
I was out Sunday night because I had consorting to do, and only got back after the hapless Mbra team was through gazing in bewildered awe at the strange and never-before-seen spectacle before them— the spectacle they were later to learn was called "Knowledge" – and so I didn't actually see them drool onto their red Celtel shirts. But I was informed that the following took place:
After they failed one question in a particularly doofus way, the show host, John Sibi-Okumu, who has exemplified grace and poise throughout the series, was so stunned that he dropped his clipboard and said, "You're shitting me, right?"
The Mbra guys thought that was the next question and conferred amongst themselves then they replied, "Pass."
This was when John Sibi-Okumu collapsed to the ground and, as they say, ROTFLMAO'd.
All composure gone, and with it his distinct BBC accent, Sibi Okumu broke out into his native Luo diction and wailed through convulsions of derisive laughter. "But do I say, Sooerly this educassonal institusson is a decepsson, yaawa. Who is yua dean of studies? Homer Simpson?"
We now go to our reporter in the field. Reporter In The Field, what was the final score?
RITF: Hi Baz. As you can see behind me, all the Ugandan members of the audience are huddled in one corner. They are planning an ambush. They plan to attack the Mbra students behind the studio after the show so they can administer what they call much-deserved mob justice. The ringleader of the lynch mob, Peter Miles Kanyike, was heard saying earlier, and I quote: "How are people going to believe that we are gifted by nature when our university students behave like they are stuck in a marijuana high? People are are going to believe that the slogan refers only to our genitals and does not apply to our brains." Another audience member replied to this by saying in a deep voice, "One time."
Baz: What was the score, kid?
RITF: Um… 680 to 70 or something. I think you will have to do like last time and update with the real official score later. Just post what you have now. Ndaba it's just a blog post, it's not like you are practicing journalism here. You can be less than exhaustive.
Don't pick lemons.
