I used to do stand-up comedy, but it is difficult to tell original jokes in Nigeria. I decided to change my style in 2007, while I was in school. I told a joke, and my girlfriend who just got back from Abuja told me she had heard the joke somewhere else and asked me to stop stealing people’s jokes. I decided that since I could play musical instruments and loved music too, I could use that to make it difficult for people to steal my work.”
