How many of our wonderful readers know of Basket Mouths look
alike and fellow comedian by name Chijioke Igwendu CEO of Good Laugh
Entertainment?. Colossus Gists just concluded an exclusive interview with the
Ace Comedian Yan Baba, below are the extracts
- May We Meet You Sir
My name is Igwendu Chijioke (Yan Baba). Born to a humble
family of seven. I wouldn't want to use poor. Four gals and three boys From Abba
Town. Yea the Abba town of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, see their house, see our
own house for village, lol don't mind me. I was born into a strong Pentecostal
family, my mum is into missionary work. I wasn't born with any spoon at all, be
it silver, golden or plastic spoon. I would rather say that I was born with a
cutlass, hoe, shovel, and some farm tools, giving me the impression to go and
hustle on my own.
- How Did You Start Your Career to Stardom
When I got to Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, I didn't join
any clique cos I believe in solo. I studied Theatre and film studies. I never
allowed my Background keep my back to the Ground. I think every comedian
started their career from the church, so did me. I can't forget the great
platform I had in an organization called HYPE Onitsha under Dominion City.
- Any Memorable Moments
One of my best moments includes the night I won the BEST
COMEDIAN IN UNIZIK and the ovation I got from the crowd. My worst moment is
losing an elder brother on March 28 (election day)
- Who Are Your Role Models
The comedians I idolize includes Bright Okpocha for his
calmness on stage while performing, Okey Bakassi for his ability to transmute
from live performance on stage to acting on screen, he is a master; Bovi ugboma
for his charisma and the theatrical touches he adds to his performance, he is a
genius. Ayo Makun for his conceptual prowess and believing in others; Forever d
preacher for his Gospel kind of materials. Mc God4bid for his crazy Igbo jokes.
- Any Dreams?
I’ve a dream that one
day Yanbaba will be a brand to reckon with in Africa and beyond
- There Are Rumors Of Your Gyration Song Release, Is That True?
My song “4years Nobi Beans” in the album – ‘Diary of a graduate’
drops on May 1st. I will launch the album officially during my show on May 15th.
- Are You In Any Relationships
About my relationship, YES!!..am dating a Young beautiful
woman that took me serious...cos every guy needs a girl that will take him
serious.....
- What Keeps You Going?
My background motivates me, I know where am coming from and
I don't have any option than to push on. Sometimes when I feel like quitting, I
will remember that there are some people I need to prove wrong by making it. What
happens daily motivates me too, my surroundings, My classmates which I spend
most of my time with.
- Why would you on Earth Contest For Sexiest Comedian
Which Sexiest Comedian? I no reach na, na wetin malaria dey
cause. I no contest for any sexiest comedian oo..na one of those nightmares wey
I dey normally get .....
Below are photo shotz of the claimed contest
- Before We End This, Do you Have Any Other Words For Us?
There are things people may not know about me... I have a
twin sister. I was actually born a stammerer. I have phobia for competitions
...Lol!!! I don't believe in standing before judges to prove that am talented, cos
bible said judge not so that you won’t be judged. As a comedian when I perform
and stammer, people will assume is part of the joke, not knowing that am in
trouble. I believe in risks a lot, I believe is more risky when u don't take
risks.
