WorldChampions1902 Posted March 11, 2021 Posted March 11, 2021 Forget “Hibs’d it”. The term, Dundee United is synonymous with idiocy in Nigeria and has been for decades! A true, but fascinating story in today’s Guardian. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2021/mar/11/the-unlikely-story-of-how-dundee-united-became-an-insult-in-nigeria?fbclid=IwAR1oUX0UmdFtlx7Wu1z1VVZX6cYgZMPyt-QlI1itkptTCmqhr6SjBKFYs1Q Quote
graygo Posted March 11, 2021 Posted March 11, 2021 Strange that they would publish that story in today's paper, it was in the Peebles News years ago. Quote

I had to check the calendar as it sounded like an April Fool story. First time I’ve read this but you are right, I just googled this and the Guardian also ran the same story a few years ago. Must have been a slow news day yesterday. Quote
TheBigO Posted March 12, 2021 Posted March 12, 2021 Wish I'd known this when I lived there! Certainly a few Nigerians now know what a Hibs is! Quote
