Talent alone is not enough if you know what I am talking about.

Saka has both.
Vitali Klitchsko is a PhD holder. He beat our own Samuel Peter silly.
this is not an intelligent statement.

Osuofia is NOT an illiterate. He graduated from the university.

Everyone has a choice or otherwise to further their studies beyond the Bachelors degree.

You cannot tell me that a PhD holder is more intelligent than a B.Sc or M.Sc holder.

Studying further is a choice. Argue more intelligently pls. Your previous argument could leave a person bewildered.

No need to be agitated. ..
As it stands,Saka, a lecturer and PhD holder to be stands taller when compared head to head with Osuofia, a mere polytechnic graduate. Seems that's why he's edged Osuofia out.

edged him out in what sense?

(A) MTN advert? Mtn is a company which chooses whosoever they want to advertise for them. Is Saka the only person that has ever advertised for them? Believe you me, when companies are looking to make money through successful adverts, they are not looking at your M.Sc or PhD, they want to know if you can draw the customers. Period. If you can't (talent-wise), they'll throw you and your many degrees away.

(B) going by the polls here, I think the person being edged out is your PhD Saka. By a long haul too.

We are talking about the entertainment industry. Are you a master in your field or do you bore people to sleep- that should be the question.

Success is not measured by how many degrees you acquire. After all, the richest men in the world didn't go to school, yet with your many degrees you'd like to work for them.

I am not siding any of them. Just making it clear to you to argue in such a way that what you say makes sense.

Re: Osuofia Vs Saka: Who Is The Better Comedian? by Mfemi53(m): 11:31pm On Oct 11, 2014
Segadem:

…And the people’s verdict:

It’s a tie –Onah Gloria, accountant

I would say it’s partly Saka and partly Osuofia. But Saka has an edge because his face alone is comedy personified. However, put succinctly, Nkem Owo has the words while Saka owns the expression.

Osuofia should rebrand himself – Nenna Okwuani

Osuofia’s acting fortunes are fast dwindling and he should blame himself for that. I don’t understand what he does these days. From poor role interpretation and poor diction, his acting has been generally poor. And I am advising him to try and rebrand himself.

Saka is funnier –Maryrose Ihenetuh, nurse

Saka is funnier. Mere looking at him is enough to make you laugh any day so I consider him as the better comedian.

Osuofia running out of ideas –Adaora Emmanuel

I no longer enjoy Osuofia’s acting these days. He seems to have run out of ideas and I don’t know what is happened to him. His method of role interpretation is now so glaringly flawed that even children notice it. It is said that he no longer works with the official lines in movie script he is given but usually creates his own lines. If that is true, then it’s probably why he overstretches scenes with irrelevant lines. But I have never seen Saka overstretching any scene and bombarding us with irrelevant lines.

Give it to Saka – Desmond Obodoekwe, undergraduate

Judging from their present form, I’ll give it to Saka. But if we should consider Nkem Owo’s past works such as Ikuku, Ukwa, Osuofia In London and the likes, then he is the unarguable winner. But as we speak, the slot should go to Saka.

Saka is more versatile – Jenifer Akaji, sociologist

Saka is the talk of the town now and I think that he has no rivals presently as far as comedy business is concerned; he is more versatile than Nkem Owoh.

Nkem Owo is waning – Bunmi Sikirat, undergraduate

The problem with Nkem Owoh is that he has systematically abandoned the part that made him what he is today. He no longer does those drunken, mischievous and village roles that usually showcases his best. And if you look at Saka, the reverse is the case; he hasn’t derailed from playing those characters that made him the Saka that we see today.

Nkem Owo has no rival – Peter Attama, radiologist

I am a very busy person and barely find time to watch movies. But whenever time permits me, I try not to miss watching films that feature Osuofia. I usually find his films suiting. And I would not hesitate to vote for him rather than Saka if your subject matter demands voting.

Saka is too good –Tunrayo Akinfenwa, student

I have never watched Saka play non-comedy movie roles; he is just too good at interpreting humorous roles. Meanwhile, Nkem Owoh is just as good but I prefer Saka because he is usually more real compared to Nkem Owoh.

Osuofia is a comic guru –Daniel Abiodun, civil servant

Hafiz Oyetoro is a master rib cracker no doubt but whoever watched Osuofia in Ukwa, Ikuku, Kiss Me Quick and most of his early films will attest to the fact that he is a comic guru. Just to share a certain funny experience with you. I was once seriously angered by my wife. And as I was boiling, she sent one of my daughters to slot in one of Osuofia’s newly released films which she had just bought at that time; I think it was Ukwa. And before I knew it I was cracking up in laughter. It was at the end that I remembered that I had issues with my wife.

I prefer Nkem Owoh –Audu Samuel, undergraduate

I barely knew Saka until his popular I don Port advert but I grew up knowing Osuofia. It is true that his old works seem to appear more captivating than the recent ones but he is still good and I still prefer him to Saka.

I like Osuofia – Dickson Abayomi, computer engineer

Everyone knows that Saka is a powerful comedian. He even teaches comedy too. But personally, I prefer Osuofia to Saka; he is a fantastic rib cracker and perfect role interpreter.

Nkem Owoh, ultimate rib-cracker – Gregory James, social worker

Nkerm Owoh is an amazing comedian. For him, humour is part of life as he cracks jokes effortlessly. He has plenty of it in him and only needs to open his mouth and let it pour out. As for me, he is Nigeria’s ultimate rib cracker.

They are both good – Badmus Abdulahi, undergraduate

One thing about Saka and Osuofia is that as far as comedy is concerned, they are both. gladiators. The only thing is that while Osuofia is more into home movies, Saka focuses more on television soaps. But one thing they have in common is that they are both stage products. They both started with stage plays and TV series before hitting home movies.

Osuofia is far better – Engineer Nwoye Charles

I have no doubt in my mind that Osuofia still stands tall and imposing among the cream of Nigeria’s comic family; he is just awesome! I have been opportune to witness him anchor events a couple of times and he was always extra-ordinary; I consider him far better than Mr. Oyetoro.

Saka is the one – Adeosun Bamike, undergraduate

Saka is better than Osuofia for now. Moreover, he won my heart when he ported his way to mega success with MTN.

It’s a tie – Ajayi Suleiman, dispatch executive

To me, comparing Saka and Osuofia would be like comparing two different delicious dishes. They are masters in their respective rights but with varied strengths and weaknesses so I would call it a tie. Saka is so good and Osuofia is just as good.

Osuofia is funnier, more mischievous – Obong Modester, banker

My honest view is that I find Osuofia more interesting and mischievous. And he plays his mischief roles so humorously craftily you would be unable to hold back laughter.

Osuofia is a great rib-cracker

– Mathias Chikwelu, businessman

Anyone who knows the stuff that Osuofiason is made of would need no soothsayer to convince him that Osuofia is a superb rib cracker; a great comedian. In fact, he is my number one comedian in the country.

I’ll go for Saka – Ismail Bakare, surveyor

Saka and Osuofia are top rib crackers in Nigeria. And I think that was why MTN adopted both of them as brand ambassadors. But beyond that, I prefer Saka to Osuofia because I find his acting more professional and more enriching.

Osuofia is far better –Nwanyi Sunday, lecturer

You can’t compare Osuofia with Saka. Both are good but Osuofia is way ahead; he is in a world of his own. Saka is more of a jester. Sometimes he makes the whole joke appear childish. But Osuofia always comes natural. Everything about him is comedy. But that is not to say that Saka is not good. What I’m trying to point out is that Osuofia has a very wide and glaring edge over Saka.

A professional is someone who goes to school to study a particular course & eventually practices it.
What endorsements has Osuofia gotten of late? Saka has displaced him from MTN.
Saka is beyond nollywood.

Also,as a busy full time lecturer,he can't have time for movies.I think that's why he does more of soaps.
. Dude, I'll advise you to calm down and stop making a public display of your ignorance. So, soaps need less commitment compared to movies, huh?

saka mostly in soaps is very funny depending on wat u term as funny,

well I guess wen osofia was hot he is better but presently speaking saka is the better of the two...
I tink we can't compare because na diff gym dey rain oh..... pls wen we compare let's compare ppl from the d same time....
Re: Osuofia Vs Saka: Who Is The Better Comedian? by calaharry: 12:39am On Oct 12, 2014
Pls don't compare them. Osuofia is an international enigma. He brings to table the nostalgic blend of old school and new era. Saka is trying,but even Saka will give it Osufia.
...just go and watch Oyeamuma, the barrister, osufia in London series, the master etc., and you go laff crazy and learn dip things.
This is the Man that really deserve national honour, he is a hero and his acting is extraordinary, always teaching something significant to society. Although there are afew firms with imperfection, it only shows his human . Like they say a prophet is not recognize in his own land.

This is not a fair comparison....you shud only compare people of same tribes....Nigerians are tribalistic and they will vote only for thier tribemen. A better comparison will have been Saka and Babasuwe or Mr Ibu and Osuofia. For me Osuofia only knows how to abuse people and he is not really funny

Infact, lagos is so cosmopolitan that yoruba is unecessary. Unless you are talking of ekiti and co.
Which business does an Igbo need Yoruba for? You actually need Igbo to succeed as a businessman because you might need to connect to other igbos for success, and Yoruba is not what igbos speak to themselves.

Hmmm, this kind comparison na wa o. Osuofia doesn't have to put effort to make jokes, he just let's it out when he opens his mouth. And I hear he hardly goes by the written script. He know what to do and just goes ahead like an open tap. Can you remember his lines from Ukwa? "Ukwa ha chinaka, ona gba piom piom piom" " you would have told me my brother was living in a cathedral " "take me to where you take those Lagos girls to...let's go and eat isi ewu and pepper soup" I mean, his lines are so natural and unending.

On Saka's part, he needs to do some creative work in order to show his skills. Yes, he is a clown. Facially, and in body structure. His mouth like that of a mouse is anough comedy.

Well, I'll give it to Osuofia. But in a way don't we have different classes if comedy? I think both are not same when you look at Nigerian comedy.
