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.

buoye1:
Sentiments apart....osofia is better though I'm a yoruba guy!

Segadem:
Saka ni joor, Saka ni jare, but judging from the past achievements I will give it to Osuofia.

kemsy100:
Sincerely my fellow nairalanders. There is an obvious difference between someone who is gifted and someone who acquired knowledge via learning........An engineering student n a Theater art student....
Hence...Osuofia has the gift.

Logicalmindy:
Mama Peace is better than both of them.

BarryX:
Osuofia is miles ahead of Saka.
Like seriously, Is Saka funny?

hayzed2:
You must be a deadly politician, see as you take romance both of them *lol*

VirginFinder:
Power has changed hands!

Saka has displaced Osuofia.

Who would you prefer to employ? A PhD holder in Theatre Arts or a common engineering graduate?

You Igbos must swallow the humble pie and take it in good stride!!!

rhymz:
There is no how anyone can watch both Osofia and Saka and then come off with the conclusion that Saka is a better Comic, how?

To be honest I have never found Saka funny, the MTN I don port thing is an advert concept from advertising agency that found Saka a useful tool to announcing how easy a non mtn user can switch to mtn, not necessarily because Saka was a better comedian.

Osofia on the other hand is a natural, all a director need to do is have him in his film and it is comedy. Don't tell me their comedy has cultural backdrops cos I can speak and understand both igbo and Yoruba fluently yet Saka is not anything close to being the best Yoruba comic there is. .... The likes of Baba Suwe will edge him out in a comedy film any day.

ba7man:
They both irritate me.

Osuofia is always angry and his shouting gives me a headache.

Saka?? Never made me laff once.

I dislike "Forced" comedy.

rallymento:
The duo are busy making their money, and we are here talking trash. I weep for this country. Nigeria is the only country that can succeed without any mineral resources. The moment we realize that the world see a united Nigeria as threat the better for us. A country with more than 200 ethnic groups and crude oil+ intellectuals like Yorubas, business oriented like Ibos and honest people like Hausas........... Let's keep having fun but let's preach unity.

InyinyaAgbaOku:
igbos have intellectuals too. don't forget that

rallymento:
true talk but we have more business inclined gurus than intellectuals
