I tried my best but I couldn\u2019t secure a law admission. So, I had to settle for Linguistics and Communication Studies at Uniport.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cIt was on the campus that I saw skit making and I decided to try it out. Money wasn\u2019t coming.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cAfter I graduated, my dad never knew I was a comedian because I was hiding it. It was one more year after school that he started seeing me on comedy show posters. My sisters confirmed to him that I was into comedy. He was very furious. He fumed, \u2018Which comedy? Stupid business. Look at the boy I sent to become a lawyer.\u2019\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a9 2025 Abia Radio News, a division of Tee Global Innnovations [abiaradios@gmail.com].
