Some comedians while on stage are cursed at or insulted by members of the audience while some get less than what was agreed upon by the organisers of the show. Who would want to go through that, when now you can easily open a YouTube channel or have an Instagram tv page, upload videos, get views and get your channel monetized with ads.

No insult , No cheating. You get paid.

As buhari get views, get ads on their channel or page and get paid.

Shikena!

Just take a good look at the number of views on each of bovi's videos and tell me why a new up coming comedian would want to go through the hurdles and stress of organizing a show in this hard tough system buhari has blessed us with.



So bovi went back to sch....make I go check whether its as good as emmanuella' officer comedy skit..runs to youtube

Thanks to Buhari's very poor economic policies, people can't afford to eat let alone pay N5000 for regular seats and the rich can't pay N1m for "tables for 5".

Technology is revolutionalizing every sector of the economy, including the social aspects of life. People get practically everything from their smartphone these days. It is time Nigerians woke up to this reality, because it can only get deeper from this time on.

How many shows have you been to?


These days, do you hear "Table for 5, N1m"? Shows are now cheaper than 2012 yet turnout isnt good.

Most sold out shows are 2k-5k shows.

As buhari done tight everywhere for four years so, most comedians have realized that many Nigerians are too angry and hungry. Rather than waste money and precious time organising a show with low turn out at the end of the day, they prefer to upload their skits and vids online for people to watch whenever they feel like. They will get views, get ads on their channel or page and get paid.

Shikena!

When you crack the same joke over and over again without deftness and creativity it becomes stale and liveless.
