Comedian Akpororo
This is serious though! If you are one of those who wonders if Nigerian comedians can tell jokes without speaking Pidgin English, then grab a seat. Akpororo has spoken out about this.
The comedian who recently became a father spoke in defense of his colleagues. And I agree with him. “We do jokes in English. If you want to know if we say jokes in English, travel with that comedian then you would see us perform in English because we have to communicate with people from other countries.”

He also said Nigerians sometimes overemphasize the need to speak English. Using Messi and the fact that he cannot speak English as a reference, he said in pidgin English: “We for Naija too dey over do. No dey kill yourself. Messi don win world best like 5 times but him no dey speak English. Speak the way you can and make your mark”.
It’s true huh?
