Rob warned you about it in Very British Problems, and now we might be witnessing the development of a mutated strain, which is resident on the African continent. Due to the potency of its effects, its certainly not one to ignore. Like its predecessor, this particular strain, affects millions of people, (about one hundred and eighty if we're being precise) in Nigeria, and has been aptly tagged Very Nigerian Problems. Symptoms include: Talking unusually loudly on the phone, enjoying a candle lit dinner out of necessity and not romance, and an unhealthy preoccupation with Jollof rice. Doctors have also reported several cases of non-contextual arguing, an obsessive interest in early marriage, super-stellar grades, and an unhealthy willingness to slip into party mode at the slightest opportunity. If you have experienced any of these symptoms, you may be suffering from Very Nigerian Problems, and its highly contagious. There is no known cure at the moment, but the plan is to attack it using prayer, until something more viable is discovered. A. E. Johnson's book is a hilarious look at the ways in which Nigeria, a nation of morally questionable but highly religious intellectuals, struggle to make it through each day in spite of the perils and obstacles of a third world environment. If you find yourself suffering on a daily basis, yet somehow managing to smile through it all, take solace in the fact know that you and about 180 million others are not alone.
