After reading through his write up on the above headline, I believe most people like me, who have wondered for years why he (Mr Atunyota Alleluya Akpobome) is been called the pioneer of the Nigerian Modern day comedy, now understands why. Since we do not have the privilege to share that close relationship others have with him, the little they decide to share on social media we take and make something out of it, making that our own ‘close relationship’. It takes an attentive and enlightened mind to comprehend most of Ali Baba’s jokes. This piece on the sudden invasion of the National Assembly by a Senator and his boys just added more ‘powers to is already greased elbows once more.
The ‘King of Nigeria Comedy’ stylishly fashioned his reactions in an epic manner only a genius would. I mean who remembers some of the incidents he stated his his piece below? See it yourself:
If any the people who carried the mace in any part of this country had gone to jail, and severely punished, would anyone care to do it again? This is why we are here. Some will snatch the ballot box because, Kamoru did it in Osun state and nothing happened. In Edo state Osahon will do it again because nothing will happen to him. This is why the man that went into a government house and kidnapped an elected Governor… is still considered a party chieftain. That is why someone who was undergoing investigations for money laundering in the UK, can come vmback home to become a Senator. That is why, someone who became a Group managin director can have so much money… and the source can not be accounted for. That is why someone can brazenly walk into a National Assembly… not a cemetary and remove a mace… isn’t that amazing? That is why someone who gave bribe in Nigeria is jailed in America and the people who received the bribe are walking free in Nigeria. That is why a whole ship MT African Pride, big or bigger than the National theatre… can disappear without a trace. And we are still proudly African. That is why salaries of workers in Nigeria have not been paid but the Lawmakers still receive salaries. No complain. That is why herdsmen can strike over 50 times at different places and no action. That is why 2 bullet proof cars will cost 200m plus. Even the makers of the vehicle shock. That is why a country can sell crude at $150 per barrel, achieve nothing with it, leave huge debts on top of it, but be expecting the country to be developed overnight with the same crude at $26. It’s only in Nigeria. That our president will say “I told the chief of Army staff to go somewhere, he didn’t go, but he is still chief of Army. It’s the only place where… fill in the blank spaces jare… what do I know
