Popular comedian, Julius Agwu, has called on Nigerians to embrace comedy, in the this period when the country is going through social, security and economic challenges.
The statement was made by the comedian during an interview with ChannelsTV, where he stated that Nigerian music and comedy have come a long way, and has broken grounds both locally and internationally.
He further stated that comedy was needed at this point in time than ever as a mean of escape from the corrosive state of the country.
“The fact is that considering the circumstances Nigeria is facing now, the only thing that can help anybody who is a Nigerian and not just only Nigerians, is comedy.
“When you think of all the bad things, just go and laugh. Laugh it out,” he said.
Agwu who was away due to health reasons, says he is back, bigger and better as the 13th edition of his annual ‘Crack Ya Ribs‘ comedy show, took place in London on Sunday.
