Some call him the most hilarious comedian in Nigeria, while others simply regard him as The Lord of The Ribs. He is one of Africa’s funniest men who has proved himself over and over again… Basketmouth’s talent has led him all the way from the tough streets of Ajegunle to comedy’s center stage. Bright Okpocha opens up to Isaac Oladipupo on his escapade with ladies, regrets of having a child out of wedlock and plans to walk down the aisle this year…

Thinking back to your childhood, what was the definite major career you desired to pursue?
My memory is quite dusty, but every child’s dream including mine was to become a Doctor, Pilot, Actor, Musician etc. I know I used to live in a world of fantasy back then. At a point, I wanted to be a comedian after I watched Eddy Murphy’s Delirious. That career was what I lived with more as it wasn’t far from my reach because I was a funny lad with funny stories and the one always making people laugh.

When did you first know you were funny?
I still don’t think I’m funny because I really don’t make myself laugh as such. I just knew I was funny to people when I noticed that my gist always brought a laughter or two.
