Politicians once threatened me over a joke I cracked- Omobaba

Nigerian comedian and singer, Omobaba has recounted how politicians threatened him over a joke he cracked at an event.

The self-proclaimed fine boy noted that he has been threatened by politicians over the jokes he cracked and was seriously warned.

Omobaba known for his unique blend of music and comedy said: “Yes I have been threatened by politicians over the jokes I crack. There was this joke titled ‘fine boy’ for which I received threat calls and I was seriously warned, which was why I couldn’t release the song I made out of it”, he told Vanguard.

When asked if he will keep treading that path, he said:”They can stop me on radio, they can’t stop me on life performance except they want to arrest me for life. I always tell people to make sure that whatever they are doing there should be something others can learn from. So I don’t crack jokes that just make people to laugh, I also tell you my opinion on a particular issue through my jokes. Humor is the fastest way to learn and pass a message. So while I’m joking I’m also telling you the truth.”
