Nigerian netizens, especially those on X, have been giving hot takes and absurd arguments to back their claim on whether 100 men could defeat a single gorilla or not.
OSG captured some of the comments; read them below:
@Aprokodoctor:
“Humans overestimate how fragile they are in the grand scheme of things. Without weapons, you don’t stand a chance against wild animals. Your body isn’t designed to inflict damage on wild animals. A full-grown gorilla is deadly o.”
@buildWithDeclan:
“We have our minds. If you believe a gorilla can beat 100 men. Such thoughts reflect on who you are and how you view yourself and the world, to me. The human mind and will are the greatest weapons. If 10 commandos commit to fighting a gorilla, it will be destroyed effortlessly. Men have fought more deadly animals than a Gorilla. I have seen what a dedicated Human mind can do first-hand.”
@subpharmacist:
“Kenyan person wey one on one humble a whole lion. Though he had a lot of injuries. The thing is, we have very much domesticated ourselves. Back in those days, this thing na chingum naw.”
@alkischeapfr:
“Guess Samson was a Robot then.”
@_OnosOnos:
“If a gorilla sees 100 grown men charging at it, it’s going to run away.”
@DiKachi96:
“I thought we were done with this argument. Of course, we don’t stand a chance, but 100 to 1 sliver abi purple back gorilla, stands a lot of chances. In fact, the chances should we weighed from the gorilla being the victim. We aren’t talking about King Kong, but a real gorilla.”
@arojinle1:
“The gorilla should be a silverback o, and nobody should hold any weapon.”
@ishowspeedsui:
“No joke when i get angry my friends hold me back at school bc im kinda strong and sometimes if I’m really angry, my eyes turn red no joke once my eyes turned red and we had to go in lockdown.”
@Pasi_9000:
“Why are you willing to injure your fans just for a video? You’re absolutely disgusting.”
@abazwhyllz:
“How much?? I am willing to volunteer all the way from Nigeria. We are trained to face our fears and also know that with the right mindset, we can conquer anything. If David can defeat Goliath, Abazz alone can defeat the gorilla.”
