This is a looping reaction GIF featuring popular Nollywood actor Osita Iheme, commonly known as Pawpaw, performing a series of confused, calculating gestures: he points to his chest, holds up his fingers as if counting, and eventually rests his chin on his hand looking stumped. The overlaid text reads 'me calculating where the other 8 hours go if i sleep for 8 hours and work for 8 hours'.
