Skitmaker Sabinus Reveals His Father Didn't Approve Of His Day Job But Approved When He Saw The Proceeds

Nigerian comedian Sabinus (Real name Emmanuel Ejekwu) has revealed that his father didn’t initially support his decision to become a comedian and called it ''Stupid Business''....


In a candid interview with VJ Adams Sabinus said, “At first, my dad never wanted me to be what I am today, he wanted me to be a lawyer. I tried my best but I couldn’t secure a law admission. So, I had to settle for Linguistics and Communication Studies at Uniport.

“It was on the campus that I saw skit making and I decided to try it out. Money wasn’t coming.

“After I graduated, my dad never knew I was a comedian because I was hiding it. It was one more year after school that he started seeing me on comedy show posters. My sisters confirmed to him that I was into comedy. He was very furious. He fumed, ‘Which comedy? Stupid business. Look at the boy I sent to become a lawyer.'”

The comedian added that his dad eventually gave him his blessings after he started gifting him money from his proceeds from comedy.

  1. Typical of most Nigerian parents πŸ˜‚
    Comedy made him big.
    Who knows whether if he had become a lawyer, he would not be near as rich and popular as he is now, he may have become one frustrated charge and bail lawyer.

    Parents should learn to support their wards' passion and while at it, guide them through.

  7. I’m not surprised, so typical of African parents who always wants their children to be either doctor, lawyer, engineer cos they thought it’s only through these professions you can make it big and be recognized in the society
    But things have changed and a lot of parents are now embracing the path some of their kids choose

  15. Those days, most parents wanted their children to become lawyers and doctors including mine. They didn't take entertainers and sports people serious.
    My aunt stopped her daughter who was a good athlete from participating in sports competition in another state. she banned her from doing sports and threatened to disown her. The girl went back to school but came out with very poor grades. Till today, even after my aunt's death, the lady still regrets not abandoning home and continuing with her sports. She is still sad about it. Now running a small business in front of their house.
