Several skits circulating are inspired by my jokes -Alibaba

Veteran comedian Atunyota Alleluya Akpobome, widely known as Alibaba, asserted that he originated a substantial portion of the jokes told by Nigerian comedians.

Despite the recycling of his material, he expressed that some comedians believe he hasn’t made significant contributions to the comedy industry.

The veteran made this known in a recent episode of The Honest Bunch Podcast, co-hosted by actor Chinedu Ani Emmanuel, aka Deity Cole, and Husband Material.

Alibaba said, “Sometimes some people will say I am not helping but 4/5 of the jokes you are telling are mine.

“There was one guy who called me the other day, very popular skit maker. He pushed one video out. And it’s a joke about… This one happened in Warri when someone wanted to cut somebody’s light and they brought dogs and cutlasses and told the person, ‘When you finish come down.’ I told that joke 1988. And then they turned it into skit.

“There are several skits circulating that are inspired by my jokes.”
