The Nigerian comedy industry has grown to be a full-fledged money spinning enterprise. It is becoming more interesting and worthwhile by the day.
Lepacious Bose
Lepacious Bose, whose real name is Bose Ogunboye, warmed her way into our hearts with her quick wit and sharp tongue. Her name was an irony of her big size.
The witty lady is also an actress. Although it has been rumoured she’s married, Bose is yet to officially deny or confirm the claim.
Benneth Chinedu Daniel registered his name in the industry after winning the third edition of AY’s Open Mic Challenge. Since then, he has been able to carve a niche for himself with his style of comedy devoid of vulgarity.
The Imo State born comedy merchant has always declined questions regarding his love life and marriage plans even till this very moment.
Acapella, also an On Air Personality with a popular radio station in Lagos and an actor has over the years won the hearts of so many entertainment lovers within and outside the shores of the country with his well-crafted jokes drawn from religious ministries.
Pella as some choose to call him is one man every lady would love to have as her own. The dark and chubby rib cracker was recently unveiled as the brand ambassador of Cedar Homes and has successfully stayed out of controversy in almost a decade in the funny-word circle. Many only wish he breaks the news of his marital status to the public as he is considered one of the most successful bachelors in the funny- world circle.
The list cannot be complete if comedian, Kenneth Agberia, better known as Mc Shakara is not listed among the comedians who are yet to tie the knot.
It is believed that he is called ‘Shakara’ because of his looks. The talented, tall and handsome comedy star drives one of the most expensive cars in town and is no doubt one of the big names in the comedy industry.
He is one person the public will wish to hear the news of his marriage anytime soon. Who knows, maybe with the recent engagement fever amongst entertainers, he might pop the big question to his lover who is not yet known.
PRINCESS
“I got married to somebody who I was in love with. At that time, he also said he loved me. Unfortunately, the marriage ended too soon. It was due to irreconcilable differences”, Princess once stated in an interview.
Less than a month after their wedding, Princess and her ex-husband fell out of marriage and that was it! Since then, nothing whatsoever was heard from the chubby star regarding her love life as she still remains unmarried till date.
Mandy
Top Nigerian female comedienne, Mandy Uzonicha, aka Mandy, once said starting out was difficult. According to her, “nobody wanted to give a female comedian the chance to prove what she is worth. No one took her seriously”. Her first real chance came when she appeared on Charly Boy’s show in 1992.
After that, she started appearing in more shows. Though she may not be as active as she used to be, Mandy continues to be one of the women who began the process of breaking the glass ceiling in Nigeria’s comedy industry, especially for women. “I am a divorcee.
I have come to realise that abroad, people don’t even get married any longer; they live together.
From my own survey, I’ve found out that it is only in Nigeria, especially in Lagos that you have more than 100 weddings taking place every week. Let me tell you, being married is getting out of fashion. But in Nigeria, when you get married, you find out that it does not last”, Mandy said in an interview.
Chigul Chioma
In an Interview she granted recently, Chioma Omeruah said she didn’t choose comedy, instead comedy chose her.
She revealed so much, including what led to her broken marriage. The strong and independent lady has been able to still hold her own and put smiles on the faces of her fans
