There was the Ice Bucket Challenge, then there was the
Mannequin Challenge, now from Cameroon comes the
Bidoung Challenge.
When Cameroon's Sports Minister Pierre Ismael Bidoung
Mpkatt bowed and shook the hand of President Paul Biya, the
image of the greeting went viral.
The hashtags #BidoungChallenge and #CourberdosChallenge
meaning to bend the back, have been included in 11,000
tweets.
Cameroonians have been recreating the image as well
photoshopping the original on social media.
One user on Twitter added some geometry to illustrate the
angle and distance of the bow to the subject.
Afrik2 Radio tweeted this imitation of the original image.
Another example of a low bow was recreated here .
Another user tweeted (in French) : "We just hit rock bottom
here," as the bow is even lower in this picture.
Can you get any lower? This man could.
Animals also got in on the act.
And there's this.
And even farmyard animals got involved. One was this goat,
captured on a Facebook post.
