Reactions Of Different People During WhatsApp Breakdown

Opeyemisi

WhatsApp is an essential App in the life of many Nigerians, and going off for a few hours would provoke different reactions from its user. From WhatsApp TV owners to group admins to online vendors and whole others.

WhatsApp Tv owners: these are the sect who would stop at nothing to rain curses on Mark Zuckerberg and thinking of how much content they could have posted within those hours. The fear of losing viewers also looms, and they can only sit back and think of hysterical captions that they will write immediately it comes back on.

Group Admins: those hours WhatsApp was down should be a moment of reflection for this particular set of people. They should know that all their power ends on WhatsApp and that power belongs to Zuckerberg. Imagine your whole personality revolves around being a WhatsApp admin. Hello! Bros, get a life!

Risky texters: There are certainly the people whose only aim in life is to send risky texts to people's boyfriends and girlfriends. That risky text that didn't go through when WhatsApp shut down should make them rethink their decisions in life and leave people's partners alone! Are you born to destroy relationships!

The broadcasters: these are the overly religious youth that can only preach their belief through misinformation. The ones that send you unsolicited 'happy new month' broadcast. These once are probably cooking a story on how Mark Zuckerberg has talked to the devil and shut down WhatsApp so that he can take over the world. God miraculously stopped it from happening.

The online vendors: these were probably on their way to post another product for the 100th time that day when they realized it wasn't going through. They must have ‘rebooted’ their phones multiple times and might have tried going on Instagram and Facebook only to discover that it is the same over there. Sapa days flashed before their eyes, and they were just dumbfounded on how to sell their goods. Maybe hawking in Oshodi or getting a stall in Idumota, Lagos.

The Pathological Poster: you know those who can't do without posting on their status and Lomotif all the time. You send 'hi' they post 'good morning'. The one's who post ‘Tola you're disturbing me’ when the so-called Tola is in their private chat. Mark used this shutdown to tell them to REST! WhatsApp doesn't revolve around them, and there's more to life than being a disturbance on WhatsApp.

The unbothered: these are the ones that don't reply to your texts and have their read receipt off. They are the ones that post once a month. This particular set of people didn't even know WhatsApp was down. They must have slept all through the night.
