₦airaland Forum

Back in the early days, when Nairaland was still an SMF based forum, there was an option to make polls in the threads.
That would have been useful in getting a better snapshot of which comedians people like.

So for anyone reading this thread for the first time, who is/are your favorite Nigerian comedians?

@ vizkiz

Did you just CC me after the fact on this thread, after duplicating and remixing my "Nairaland 2013 Most Common Characters - Are You One?" thread content without proper credit? (you didn't even re-write some portions of it).

My lawyers and the Oba must hear this.

Mark Angel and crazy clown.

How many likes for them.

They are probably the two most popular new comedians, as far as skits go.

These are actually funny.

Crazeclown

I see. Yeah, Crazeclown does have a large following of his skits.

Any other comedians you guys like?

Nigerians certainly love comedy, but as with everything else, favorites also change over time.

So, who is your favorite Nigerian comedian these days in the areas of stand up comedy, skits and any other category of comedy?
As in, a comedian you're always excited to see new content from.

Here are a few popular names as an example, to put things into perspective:

Basketmouth, Bovi, Akpororo, Seyi Law, I Go Dye etc.

No one cares.

Nigerian senators deserve the worst of any possible economic situation possible.

Probably the most insensitive humans on the planet. Highest paid senators on the planet, in a country like Nigeria, where a majority of citizens can barely feed themselves.

Nollywood movie: The Luggage.

Coming Soon!

How come perverts never fail in these incidents to try and get some free booty-show to satisfy their depravity?

If she is a criminal, why not wait and hand her to the police after beating her up?

Doing anything else also makes you a criminal. Two wrongs don't make a right.

Wanderlustian, I see you're still having a good time. That's nice.

Am still looking for the news here



Her being made a Bridesmaid is news worthy??

Welcome to Nairaland gossip blog edition.

Probably not a real need for the photo, other than to go "viral."

However, it isn't trashy, so it's all good.

Only three to four generations ago, Africans went about their business half naked in villages, until "Mr. Smith" came and told them to be ashamed of their bodies.

It hardly exists anywhere in the world these days.

The massive crave for instant news, and the short attention span of information consumers have made it less appealing to invest in.

The 24 hour TV news cycle and permanent social media news streams have redefined journalism (albeit in a bad way).

Regardless, investigative journalism is the only kind of journalism worthy of respect.
These days, some clown opens up a twitter account, copies and pastes a few news headlines and declares himself a "Journalist" to the world.

Keep it retro.

Before Buratai expose
Zombies - Buhari went to UAE to see the list of Nigerians who have houses there. Fayose et.al was fingered. They will all be exposed and dealt with. They are all yam eaters.
Wailers - Is it a crime to own property outside the country? Average business men have houses in Dubai.

After Buratai expose
Zombies - What is the crime in owning a house in Dubai? Buratai saved monthly to buy that house. He is innocent.
Wailers - You can't own a house in Dubai and not be corrupt. Buratai must be prosecuted and sent to prison.


I just tire for this country.

This comment wins the internet.

If people (anywhere in the world) could only make judgment based on facts and principle, rather than affiliation, the world would be better off.

"commotion"?

Nigeria never ceases to amuse me.

wanderlustian:
You are sooo bae!!! Chop knuckle!

**knuckle chopped**

wanderlustian:
Great tip! I appreciate this. Helped me get unlost! Lolz. Was able to find my way back after almost 1hr of trekking and pushing stroller. I don suffer no be small! Lolz!

Glad you found it useful.

Also, an offline GPS nav like "GPS Navigation & Maps Sygic" or "Navmii GPS World (Navfree)" could come in handy, in places you can't find wifi for Google Maps.

They offer pedestrian mode as well, so it should work for you on foot. Have fun.

The highest paid senators in the world call a budget slash a "sacrifice"?

Sometimes I read figures thrown around in Nigeria, and it is hard to comprehend.

wanderlustian

Nice account of your adventures. If you haven't done so already, I'd recommend you download an offline version of Google Translate or any similar app to your phone.

Being able to communicate a few words in the native language could make all the difference in getting proper directions from a local. This could save you a world of headache, as missing one of your buses could ruin your itinerary for the day.

Keep moving.

wow, nice shots...the rock looks like it has a face on it, or is it just me?

The face on Zuma Rock is its most prominent feature and tourist attraction. So no, it's not just you. It's everyone who's ever seen it.

Looks nice, but would have been more creative if they used something more symbolic of marriage, but held like the guns.

The more politicians imprisoned, the better for Nigeria.

How hard can it be? Pop in 10 MP3 Mix CDs and put on repeat. Once in a while you wake up and do a bit of 'scratching' and go back to sleep. Who dey the club dey dance for 200 hours?

No, that's not how it works. The guidelines for breaking Guinness World Records are set by them when you apply, and not by you.
In his case, he only gets a one hour break per day.

It's not over yet, he intends to make it a 10 day record. At this point the previous record of 8 days has been broken, hence the announcement.
You can follow all the activities on his twitter @djobient, or you can visit them at Sao Cafe if you're in Lagos and be part of it.

Low self esteem continues.....

How so?

donbenedict:
Na winch she winch am

Kindly explain, with verifiable evidence.

Acceptable responses include:
"I was there with her at the bablawo shrine."
"I am in the same 'winch' committee as she is." etc

In the absence of that, then

Congrats to her.

Doxology.
