it's simple!
nigerians are rarely doing anything for passion. they do it for the financial benefit. it's not only the comedians.....check out our music artistes, nollywood actors, etc. once they make money, they lose the passion to maintain their quality.

when the hunger is real, they work ever so hard to break barriers. when was the last time you have heard anything quality from 2face, MI, ruggedman, etc. when was the last time basket mouth or elenu came up with an original joke?

the art is a means to an end for many of them. make money, get fame........and then join politics. the other day i saw 9ice riding a donkey to submit his application - what an arsëhole!!! politics after just 3 albums? KSA has about 100 albums & he never ventured into politics.

Some body mentioned Basket Mouth! Seriously his jokes are no longer funny, he is too much into "Adult stuffs". U can't take kids to basket mouth shows and that's very bad. I love Gandoki, bt I think he no longer do jokes. So my favourites now are sheyi law, bovi one other guy(forgotten his name).

Re: This Annoying Thing About Nigerian Comedians by Sanchez01: 7:43pm On Dec 03, 2014
First and foremost, let's not include AY in the list of Nigeria's rib crackers. The guy is only an individual who has stage concepts and nothing more. For Bovi and BM, I'd say that they are still the same, just that you expect something way more than they gave. MCing is not the same as a typical comedian; that is why the likes of Alibaba, the king himself, is not funny. It's always difficult to keep up, particularly with demands as that of comedy. What most of them do now is to recycle old jokes. The only person who tries to do something different everytime is Basketmouth, and that's because he draws his stage jokes from live experiences and them exaggerate them a bit.

I feel some of them are losing focus. They have the money now so they really don't care if people laugh or not. They are riding on yesterday's glory and because they are popular, they get paid a lot of money

AY is not a commedian he is an entertainer who shines with the stars of other people

those who laugh for AY's jokes obviously been drinking before the show starts. the laughter is caused by alcohol, not the jokes.

Truth, Basket mouth is not funny at all. He thinks making adult jokes make him funny? tell him he is deluded.
And AY, he's lost his game, only when he claims to be white garment prophet he makes me grin a little bit.

OP. I just want you to know it gets to a stage in life that just your name and anything associated with you sells. Don't we all struggle to get to the top? When you get to the top you relax bro. This doesn't happen with just the comedian, it happen everywhere, football, offices even between the thugs/touts. You don see MC Olu-omo dey break bottle/engage in fighting now? Didn't he do all those before getting to the top.?

I beg to disagree , staying at the top requires more effort than reaching there. You have to be at the top of your game to remain relevant in any endeavour

Like Those comedians usually say, sometimes peoples problem can be so big that their joke wont sound funny.

Sweetlemon:
I just watched a hilarious edition of EL R8D on ebony life TV courtesy of EmmaohmyGod and Chigurl. There's this bitter after taste in my mouth because I realized that their sense of humour will most likely die a mysterious death when they become A-list stars. Why are our comedians like this?

I attended a wedding where Bovi was the MC. This was before he became popular. My goodness! We almost died of laughter! He presented us oven fresh jokes in the most unique manner. In fact, he was just something else. He soon became popular and even though he's still funny, (in fact, he's the only A-list star comedian that is still funny, and maybe AY) I have not enjoyed him the way I enjoyed before he became famous.

I have attended weddings/events with AY and basket mouth as MCs and I don't remember laughing even once. Maybe a smile here and there but no full blown laughter. AY is only funny in his shows, outside that, he's just there. But you won't believe it's the same guys that nearly cracked you to death during their hustling days. Even Julius Agwu is nothing to write home about at events. All they do now is charge outrageous fees just to show us their designer suits. Huh? Smh.

American comedians like Kevin Hart, Arsenio Hall, Jerry Seinfeld, Chris Rock, Robin Williams (RIP) still make us laugh hysterically. So why are our stars forming like this? Could it be the psychological effect of too must hustling? Whatever, someone should tell these guys that this really not a good way of going international.

akpororo is the best there is..


he sings better than most naija artistes

he dances better than most clubbers

his jokes are instantaneous.

...
the most creative joke of all time goes to Seyi law.. manhood vs shoe.. that was funny and original



but in general, i am tired of tribal jokes, jokes making fun of handicapped pple is nt funny in any way.

Nonsense! Typical "I don land" Nigerian mentality. In other climes Staying at the top is just as difficult as getting to the top. Why do you think Kim K, Nicki Minaj and co. are always looking for ways of staying relevant? Robin Williams kept us laughing despite his old age and fight with depression. That's how it is done!
