South Sudanese Jokes

“Bol Mel was in a car with Riek Machar and Kiirdit. BBM stuck his head out the window, and soon dozens of people had gathered round the vehicle to cheer him. He was delighted. ‘That’s nothing,’ Machar said. ‘At my last rally there were five thousand people.’ Kiirdit snorted. ‘If I give the word, there will be tens of thousands outside the presidential palace, chanting my name,’ the president said. The driver laughed. ‘If I drive this car over a cliff,’ he said, ‘12 million South Sudanese will applaud me!’” 🤣🤣🤣

The Ultimate Guide to Facebook User Categories (Which One Are You?)....

Hey Facebook fam! 🌍 Let’s talk about the *five categories of Facebook users* we all know and love (or secretly judge). Which one do you belong to? Let’s find out!

1. The Productive Humans**

These are the rare gems who post once in a blue moon. Why? Because they’re too busy chasing bag$ and building empires. � They don’t have time for Facebook drama—they’re out here making money moves. Respect! 💼

2. The Chapati Warriors

These legends create memes daily to keep us entertained. � They’re the independent hustlers who survive on chapati and good vibes. After a long day of chapati struggles, they come to Facebook to crack jokes and spread joy. � They’re the happiest people here—chapati power!

3. The Confused Elements

Ever seen someone randomly insult everyone on Facebook? Yeah, those are the poverty-stricken folks. 😤 They’re always angry, especially when hungry, and take it out on innocent comment sections. We call them *confused elements* because, well, they’re just looking for trouble. 🌀

4. The Bootlickers

These are the ones who praise and fight for rich people. 🤑 They’ve lost all cultural pride and will do anything for a quick buck or a plate of food. They’re always covering up for the rich and famous in exchange for crumbs. We call them *bootlickers*—no shame, just survival.

5. The Non-Living Things

These are the ghosts of Facebook. 👻 They have accounts but never post, comment, or share anything. They’re just there... lurking. We call them *non-living things* because, honestly, are they even real?

---

So, which category do you fall into? Are you a *Productive Human*, a *Chapati Warrior*, or maybe a *Confused Element*? Drop your answer in the comments section below and let’s laugh together! 😂

P.S. If you’re a *Bootlicker* or *Non-Living Thing*, don’t worry—we still love you (kind of). 🥰
