Osinbajo Hosts Comedians

Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo has described Nigerian comedians as the funniest in the world.

He said; “I don’t think that anybody anywhere is as funny as Nigerian comedians.”

“I strongly believe that what our young people are doing and what they are capable of are what will lead our country to where we are meant to be.”

“The future is not tomorrow; it is already here and we can see it from just everything you are doing, the global acclaim that you are getting; young people like yourselves, doing something good.”

“I think that we have incredible talents and we must do something about it, to enable these talents and we must ask ourselves questions on setting realistic goals that can enable these talents flourish. I must say that just based on the sheer creativity around this, I don’t think that anybody anywhere is as funny as Nigerian comedians.”

“Why I think this engagement (with skit comedians) is important is because this is the way to go. Let us sit down and look at all the issues and come out with realistic positions that can then become policies, and what sort of support will be required.”

“The Federal Government will continue to create an enabling environment for the growth and development of youths in the country.”

Osinbajo made the statement on Wednesday during a courtesy visit by a team of young skit makers at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

The delegation, under the aegis of the Nigeria Skits Industry Awards was led by its promoter, Bimbo Daramola.

Others on the delegation were Maryam Apaokagi a.k.a Taaooma, Josh Alfred a.k.a Josh2funny, Ayo Ajewole a.k.a Woli Agba, Adebamiro Adeyanju a.k.a Mr Hyenana and Adeoye Adeyemi Elesho a.k.a Yemi Elesho.
