Last week, Trevor Noah was trending in Uganda.
After clearing the air that he was not going to be performing in Uganda, the South African comedian and also host of Comedy Central’s Daily Show was bombarded with all sorts of Ugandan memes that seemed to suggest he had to visit by force.
The hash tag, #TrevorNoahVisitsUganda went viral, forcing the comedian to tweet: “Ok, Uganda you win. I’ll try to visit sometime. But when I land, I want the original rolex made by Sula in Wandegeya.”
Well, Sula’s rolex was legendary years ago; indeed, but it is not known whether Sula still has a stall in Wandegeya. So, how did Trevor learn about Sula?
The Daily Show has two writers that are Ugandan, David Kibuuka, a South Africa-based Ugandan comedian and Joseph Opio, formerly a presenter of LOL with Urban TV.
It is argued that Opio was studying at Makerere University at the time Sula was trending with his rolex and thus may have fed Trevor with the information of written the tweet altogether. Whatever; set a date already, Trevor Noah.
