Its like comparing orange and apple.Their comedy is built on different cultural backgrounds so it will be difficult to compare.The yorubas will appreciate Saka more while the Igbos will appreciate Osuofia more.In some of their performances,they do chip in their native languages so people who are not from their area will be lost

THE MOST OBJECTIVE COMMENT SO FAR!! A THOUSAND LIKES FOR YOU. YOU FORCED ME TO POST

priscaoge:



Ime Bishop Umoh . That man is a clown The way he rotates his head and eyes eeeh

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.

daveP:


i refuse to mimick him using brackets, so just his pix would do.

Thunder04:
Don't just judge the matter base on tribalism sentment.

VirginFinder:


Now that MTN has placed/valued Saka above Osuofia what are you going to do about it?

Saka is a full time lecturer and PhD student. He is not in Osuofia's league.

Acidosis:


Exactly, you cannot separate some nlers from tribalism. The topic sounds to me like: who do you love: Igbo vs. Yoruba?

priscaoge:



Lmao Seriously his face alone is a "Comedy"

Sarimah:
u dnt need to be

Jarus:
For me, Osuofia doesn't come close to Saka. Mr Ibu is funnier than Osuofia and he's the best in Igbo-Nollywood. Between him and Saka, I'll have to throw a coin.

Ajirebi/Pa James is probably funnier than both of them

Ahmeduana:

TRUST omo Igbo WITH THERE LACK OF OBJECTIVITY!

Wislet:
Are we arguing objectively here?

WHEN HAS TALENT BECOME A QUESTION OF HOW MANY UNIVERSITY DEGREES YOU ACQUIRE?

School does not grant you talent. If you got it, you got it. If you don't, you don't.

It's as simple as that.

Funny with the talks of 'out of your league', PhD, etc. Seriously?

softsparkyy:

Yeah thats him, I so much like the guy . I'm enjoying one soap opera "The Johnsons".

alotofgrace:
what's funny about osifia? he'd nit made mi laff oneday..his last movie I saw- osofia in london was totally boring to me. the movie jusst displayed....let mi liv d movie. saka is mostly into soaps. funny or not funny the man is richer dan osofia....the comedian with most fans gets d biggest contract.....helloooo...
osofia contract was with Madam patience....saka was alone....infact after I don port o, osofia was placed behind saka in another advert!!!

ok, tell mi, why did gej not call osofia for a ministerial appointment?


saka rocks...osuofia sucks.. otan!!!

VirginFinder:

But we all agree that ability to speak Yoruba is of more/added advantage in today's Nigeria.

VirginFinder:

You are a dullard!
Which issue on NL doesnt get tribalied?

…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.

Saka rarely does home videos!

He's a full time lecturer,remember, and in the middle of his Ph.D program. I dont think he has the time.
Nollywood is mostly low-budget crap

lecturing is a worse low budget job.

Now that your crass tribalism has been blown open, I expected you to keep mum.
