Thanks for this part, I was carried away and didn't get the punchline.

On the whole, dry comedian.
They should've gotten basketmouth or an individual with more experience for the show. Most performances were boring and the whole thing looked low-key like organizers refused to spend the whole budget. The MC was the most annoying part as he kept chasing performers off the stage at random times.

Lolgrin I don't need anybody to tell me that,you slept around 11:30 to 12mid nightcheesy you cram d joke 4 head ni sha

Second paragraph:
Yeah I think you're right,organizers na d real fuk upsad

Akpororo was the comedian invited for the presidential inaugural gala night, he was banal and even though he tried to hide it, he was nervous!

He came up and cracked his dry egg shell of jokes like this"ahem, can you please appreciate me, pls appreciate me once again. If I crack joke and you no laugh it shows your problem is big and you need a pastor not a comedian. Tell your neighbour you are looking good, tell him or her once again. My name is akpororo but the white men call me akporaurau. My father one time went to buy a dog, though the dog didn't behave like a dog but like a cat anyways dog na dog. You know how people call their dogs by human name, you go see dog called kelvin, gabriel. You'll see white people say gabriel jump, sit, run. One day thieves came and shouted everybody lie down, na so the dog lie. The owner look at the dog and said gabriel bark, bite these people. The dog replied if you no shut up I go bite your ear, no be gun they hold so?(That was the funniest of his jokes and it isn't even funny)"

He then, talked about a warri pastor that asked people to tell their neighbour that what happened to me will happen to you. "Na so I look my neighbour hin get bandage for I eye I con talk say neighbour what happened to you will happened to you" (akpororo then laughed) then he. Greeted joke silva and said "shout to my great aunty, aunty joke silva. We need to improve our nollywood. You see our accident and spirit scenes let us leave the accident scenes to the indians." He then said rubbish about spirit scenes that made no meaning to everybody"

He finally capped his "unfunny" display with "thank you mr president for being a good father, you are my father from far away and thank you my mother(referring to the first lady) even though you don't know you borne me, we want change ehn(then he started chuckling) so we can change our father and we can change our mother"

He finally dropped one dumb joke I won't bore you further with and promised to return. But aint nobody wanna hear that shii no more, I guess so because he didn't return!!!

Damn that dude was so dry. Why didn't they invite basket mouth or ali baba.

Well, there was no light in Enugu since last week till now, so I didn't watch the Inaugural dinner, Inaugural Ceremony and the Gala night cry . How many Gala did Buhari chop abeg

I thought I was the only person that noticed it. Dude was definitely out of ideas, he shouldn't have been invited for a show of that magnitude. One of his biggest undoing was using pidgin English, Basket mouth or Seyi law would have killed the show.
I doubt he will ever be invited to such an event again.

Even the performance after his dismal display wasn't any better. The M. C had to come chase those guys away by continously saying "Thank you". Na so I just change channel.

The fact is that, I use to see the likes of Akpororo, Mc Accapella ndd Mc funny bone as fantastic comedians until ddey visited my church on 2 diff occasion.

They did d same joke dey did d first time dey came nd repeated it again. Honestly does guys aren't funny at all cos dey cannot confidently crack d rips of same audience in 2diff occasion cos jokes don finish for market.

Anyways it paid off for him, more money buh him fame is gradually going down. I dnt see my church inviting him for d third time.

kissIm not surprise at all.i think akpororo is over rated for such event.He is my close friend so iknow the programmes dat he can perform well.He is more like 95percent good for church programmes and 50percent okay for circular show.Believe u me he is over rated.They should have give it to Bovi or gandoki.He is not really a total comedian.He only sing,dance and add some jokes when its necessary.

I have never found him funny. All he does is SHOUT. They person wey book am don collect 10%. That's why he was chosen in the first place. It should have been Ali Baba, Julius Agwu or Basket mouth.

Akpororo is too juvenile for such occasion.
Me too.Comedy should be natural and not done with force.He forces his jokes a lot by shouting.

I believe he didn't charge much for that performance. Remember Buhari will not spend all that millions of naira to hire Basket mout or Bovi or Ali Baba just for a 5mins performance. But no matter how much i pay that Akpororo of a guy, he must refund me!!! If they knew he was presenting that kind of jokes, they would have just bought a Basket Mouth's comedy CD and play part of it.

That event was a way too big for him. This administration will not favour d entertainment industry at all. Imagine the line up of artist that performed so traditional, cultural and tribal based. I see sense in it tho coz our entertainment industry is full of nudity

In life u take your opportunities once they come..he was below par and he knows it..he needs to mature fast because comedy has gone beyond what he did last night..look at your guest,prepare for your audience..research&update...he fluctuates in his performances but Bovi matured faster...even if he got paid it's more about establishing his brand so he can negotiate well..if he continues like last year his bargaining power might be low..i want him to succeed cos he has tried for himself knowing the kinda backgrounds these guys started from but he should be nailing d kind of chances he got last night..big time.

I wasn't expecting him(apororo) to be the comedian at that kindda occasion though(no hating)
Ali baba, or basket mouth...even seyi law would have done better! Even their maturity speaks smiley

You spoke my thoughts. Something really wrong with choice of entertainers. Very poor choices were made from musicians to comedians.
You were very right, the likes of Basket mouth, Ali Baba or even AY would be better off!

Musicians too! KWAM1
Musicians with wonderful stage melodrama, brilliant acoustics or sonorous voice are best options for such gathering where language is not understood by all. P-Square, Asa, Sunny Ade, Seun or Femi Kuti, Lagbaja would have made a most impressive impact on the guest.

Tuface was the only "fair" choice.
