So Hilarious! See the Differences Between Santa Claus and Father Christmas (Photos)

It’s so hilarious that Nigerians are good at copying things from other nations but never copy it right. We are a very special breed of people that will always find a way to do it our own way– the very awkward way.

The same thing happened with copying Santa Claus, which is a common feature of the Christmas celebrations all around the world. Father Christmas is our version of Santa Claus. While it used to be fun for children to see the Father Christmas, it has, recently, become a ridiculed practice as the organisers of Father Christmas shows in Nigeria now only create Father Christmas that deviates from the original version.

Here are other common things a typical Father Xmas will do differently from the original Santa Claus

1. Nigerian Father Christmas get high before the show with kids.

I mean, it’s a show with kids, not a concert.

2. Nigerian Father Xmas don’t care about your feelings.

The speed they put in to drop off a crying child, ehn! and in that moment they give the child the “I don’t like you too” face. I’m pretty sure in their minds, they are already like “Where is your mama?, No come kill me here oh, Nah money make me come do Father”.

3. They give the worse gifts.

For every time I went seeing a Father Xmas, their best gifts are notebooks and pencil especially if it’s a school-sponsored Christmas outing. There are a thousand cute gift items and packs for kids for christ sakes, urgggh!

4. Father Xmas are the scariest.

Kids generally get scary seeing the Santa Claus costume but Nigerian Father Xmas most times get overboard in this area. Which one is white powder on the face. What’s your aim in life, are you supposed to make the kids end up having nightmares or make them happy?

5. Nigerian Father Xmas are always looking malnourished with their ridiculous flabby pot bellies.

Must they overdo?

6. Zero-effort:

When they then try not to be too much, they look like people dragged out of a hole. A glove, maybe? It’s not by force to be Father Xmas.

7. Nigerian Father Xmas costume never fit.

Unlike the original Santa Claus outfit that is usually fluffy and firm, it is only in Nigeria, you see different Father Xmas in different ‘Aba-made’ materials as costume.

8. Father Xmas begging for party food.

Inside life!

9. Nigerian Father Xmas dance aggressively.

While Santa Claus takes it easy to dance step by step with a smiley face, you will see Nigerian Father Xmas dancing ‘gbese’ so aggressively, looking all sweaty. Haba! This isn’t supposed to be a war

10. Nigerian Father Xmas does not hide his poverty.

From their dirty boots, you can tell they trekked miles to get to the venue.
