During the visit, The Vice-President of Nigeria, Prof Yemi Osinbajo stated that Nigerian comedians are the funniest in the world. In his words, the VP said, “I don’t think that anybody anywhere is as funny as Nigerian comedians.”

 “I strongly believe that what our young people are doing and what they are capable of are what will lead our country to where we are meant to be.

“The future is not tomorrow; it is already here and we can see it from just everything you are doing, the global acclaim that you are getting; young people like yourselves, doing something good.

“I think that we have incredible talents and we must do something about it, to enable these talents and we must ask ourselves questions on setting realistic goals that can enable these talents flourish. I must say that just based on the sheer creativity around this, I don’t think that anybody anywhere is as funny as Nigerian comedians.”
