Nigerian comedienne, Helen Paul has stated that Comedy is not just a business , It’s a ministry. She says it’s a ministry that brings people joy and happiness. Paul alluded to the fact that comedians made people laugh when Nigerians lost money to MMM Ponzi scheme.
The versatile comedian made this known in an interview with Punch.
According to her:”Comedy is a ministry and not just a business; it is a ministry that brings joy and happiness. Not only pastors have ministries. A comedian sees things from other perspectives. When Nigerians go through hard times, comedians still upload materials on social media to make people laugh. For instance when many Nigerians lost money to the MMM Ponzi scheme, we still found a way to make people laugh. Comedy is not for unserious people. It is not something you get into just because of the money”.
