A Togolese, a Nigerian

A Togolese, a Nigerian and a Ghanaian were
caught red handed drinking alcohol in Saudi
Arabia, where consumption of Alcohol is strictly
prohibited.
The three of them were dragged in front of the
Sultan, who said:
“You will get 50 lashes for the consumption of
alcohol. However, since you are foreigners and
did not know about the prohibition, I will be
lenient. Each of you will have a wish before
getting the punishment.
You start, Togolese.”
Togolese: “I wish that you tie a pillow to my
back, before you flog me.” His wish was fulfilled,
but the flogging was so strong that the pillow
tore into pieces after 25 lashes.
The Nigerian, upon seeing what had happened
to the Togolese wished for two pillows on his
back but still, the pillows got torn early.
Now the Sultan turns to the Ghana-man, and
says:
“Now, Ghanaian, since I am a big football fan
and you play such beautiful football, I will be
specially lenient with you. You have two wishes,
but choose well.”
Ghana-man says: “First of all I want 100
lashes”.
The Nigerian and the Togolese look at
themselves flabbergasted.
The Sultan replies: “I do not understand it, but
we will grant you the double number of lashes!
And your second wish?”
Ghana-man:“Tie the Nigerian on my back”
