“Sorry if I don’t notice when you drag or troll me on social media, due to my political views. I’m currently focusing my attention on who becomes the next president. I’ll get back to you after the election. Pls bear with me #ndiara #letsfixNigeria.”(sic)
The stand-up comedian noted that there is nothing funny about Nigeria’s current situation.
He said, “Because I’m an actor, some people want me to act like all is well with Nigeria. I’m a comedian but there is nothing funny about the situation in the country.”
