Although Nigerian comedian Alibaba is known for his comic nature, the past few weeks has been very different from the man who many people now consider to be the father of standup comedy in Nigeria. Alibaba announced on Saturday via his Instagram handle that he will be having a live chat with Africa’s richest woman Mrs Folonrunsho Alakija an oil magnet.
He chose her to answer questions on life in this covid19 lock down where most people are now living from and to mouth.
Alibaba has been behind the success story of many celebrities including comedians, musicians and nollywood stars. He is one of these who have taken the personal responsibility of enlightening people about the dangers of covid19 and the right approach handle it.
People rarely expect to get the right perspectives from comedians because they make a joke about just anything. But Ali has been doing serious business on his instagram handle lately exposing matters arising from covid19. His influence in Nigeria is without doubt.
He has taken charge of the organizing of shows and growing the entertainment industry in the country, something that both the wealthy class and the poor masses benefit from. While the poor cannot afford to have a table in front at his shows, they can at least buy the films made from the shows and enjoy maximum laughter.
