The 21 year old standup comedian, who has a strong love for Benin folktales, much of the credit for his achievements so far in the showbusiness to bh world should go to his mother who apart from being a pillar of support has being giving him tutelage on how to master his craft.
“She is everything to me. Apart from her rock solid support for me much of my achievements are attributable to the tutelage I got from her.”
Asked who is his role model, he points in the direction of Mosis Obakpolor, a respected figure in Benin folktales presentation.
