Nigerian comedian and showbiz impresario, Alibaba has said he wont go into politics until some major issues are sorted out in Nigeria.
The entertainer made this known in a recent Instagram live chat.
According to him: ”I cannot go into politics with the way things are in Nigeria. First of all, the Nigerian constitution is faulty; secondly the selection and electioneering process is also faulty. We do not have a proper data of the people that are in Nigeria. So anybody that wants to rig you out, can rig you out. So for me, I won’t go into politics until those things are sorted out. Another part of our constitution that is flawed is that you have a constitution that favors laziness”.
Speaking further, Alibaba opened up on his failed business investment. The comedian said he once published a book that didn’t do well in terms of sales.
“I published a book, a collection of Nigerian jokes in 2005 which former President Obasanjo wrote the foreword. That was when I realized that Nigerians don’t buy books. Someone had actually told me that all the jokes I wrote in the book could have been packaged into a DVD where I performed and people would still buy.It was a wrong business investment”.
The Ambrose Alli University graduate revealed that when he charges for comedy shows, the money made isn’t meant for only him.
“Anytime you charge at shows people think the money is just going straight into your pocket. They don’t see the caterers, ushers, stage managers, band members and others that will be paid. So there is a chain of people that what you are charging is feeding.”
