His strong use of the warri pidgin english in cracking jokes makes him even more outstanding. he is if not the best when it comes to ribs cracking. at a very young age (13 ) he won a scholarship to study structural engineering at New York University but rejected the offer because he knew right from the onset that comedy was his calling.
