Nigerian comedian, Bright Okpocha popularly known
as Basket mouth was a speaker and panelist at the Nigerian Entertainment
Conference where he revealed that he hawked coconut in Kirikiri during his
humble beginnings.
According to him, “One thing that kept me going is the fear of failure.
I used to hawk coconut in Kirikiri town”
The
showbiz entrepreneur also lamented on the state of the Nigerian Entertainment
Industry saying we lack structures.
“There
are no structures in Nigeria. How many comedy clubs do we have? The government
cannot do anything about it because they don’t care. We the entertainers need
to synergize in order to be able to get bank loans so as to build our own event
venues”.
Basket mouth is no doubt one of
the most celebrated comedians in Nigeria. Over the years, the entertainer has
taken African comedy to the world stage. He is the first Nigerian comedian to
host Comedy Central’s Live at Parker’s held in South Africa.
