Seasoned comedian Atunyota Alleluya Akpobome, also referred to as Alibaba, has asserted that he is the author of the majority of jokes spoken by Nigerian comedians.
Despite repackaging his jokes, certain comedians believe the “King of Comedy” hasn’t done much for the comic profession, he claimed.
Actor Chinedu Ani Emmanuel, better known as Deity Cole and Husband Material, co-hosts of The Honest Bunch Podcast, recently featured him on the show.
He advised skit makers and comedians to always give credit to the originators of their content ideas.
Alibaba stated:
“Sometimes some people will say I am not helping but 4/5 of the jokes you are telling are mine.
“There was one guy who called me the other day, very popular skit maker. He pushed one video out. And it’s a joke about… This one happened in Warri when someone wanted to cut somebody’s light and they brought dogs and cutlasses and told the person, ‘When you finish come down.’ I told that joke 1988. And then they turned it into skit.
“There are several skits circulating that are inspired by my jokes.”
