Alibaba Dares Boxer, Anthony Joshua in New Photo

Alibaba thinks it’s just a matter of time and he will be Anthony Joshua’s match.

Ace Nigerian comedian, Alibaba, has in a new photo, dared British-Nigerian boxer, Anthony Joshua.

The comedian sent his concerned followers into panic, with his words to the boxer. In an instagram post, the comedian who was pictured under the shower asked the boxer to give him two years. He is almost ready, he said.

Well it is still unclear whether the comedian is asking for two years prepare himself to officially meet the boxer. What is clear, however, is that his fans do not really trust his powers in the boxing ring. They have since been throwing in comments to beg him not to bite more than he can chew.

Don’t Throw Away a Good Man Because he’s Always Busy- Alibaba to Ladies

Alibaba has some words for women in relationship.

Popular Comedian, Alibaba, has advised women to tolerate their men’s busy schedule because being always idle means joblessness.

Keeping in touch is important but work can really hold people down sometimes, he said.

His words below;

“I have taught this to many married women, who say their husband is too busy and several of them listened and snapped out of that if he loves you, he will find time to call and make time for you.

“Others are just set in their ways. That thought process is one reason many relationships break up, some before it even starts.

“While I agree that it’s important to be in touch, constantly, with your significant other, I also believe that there are times when work really can hold you down and shut down the world.

Believe it or not, there are people who can actually be busy for 4 hours straight.

“I am an MC, I have started working, sometimes, from 4pm and don’t get off till 12 midnight or even later. There are cabin crew members who are airborne for 12 hours or less.

“My point is, don’t throw away a good man, because he is always busy. Or would you rather one that is always home?

“Like I said, it’s a core part of relationships to stay in touch, but there are times all you need is understanding.

“I have a friend whose babe starts calling him from 4:30pm. Where are you? Are you still on the road? Why didn’t you pick your call?

“Are you sure you are at work? Are you not supposed to have closed? Can you video call me? Blah blah blah.

“Then he met one who doesn’t stress him. She will leave messages. How was your day? Hope the workload is not too much? You have been so busy, try and get a massage this weekend.

“Should I send you lunch? Should my driver bring you orange juice? Once you give a guy the impression that you are not concerned about his career, you are on a long thing.

“This also goes for men who, short of putting a tracker on their babes, monitor them like they are on Parole.

“You may be more beautiful, richer and sexier… but understanding your spouse’s career is KEY”.

Alibaba Recounts his Near Death Experiences Via Automobile Crashes

Alibaba recalls how close he came to death on two different occasions.

The pioneer of Nigerian stand up comedy, Alibaba has taken to Instagram to recall how he escaped death by the whiskers in two different car accidents.

According to him,the first one happened in Ogba, Lagos, while the second happened along the Shagamu express road.

The first accident, he said, occurred after the driver of their vehicle dozed off. The second one happened as a result of a burst tyre, he said.

In the first accident, he was told that he kept screaming “my check, my check”, though he believed that what he was saying was “my chest”, he said.

his posts below;

At about 5.30am, just as we passed the #ConcordNewspaper bend on that road linking old domestic to international, I still can remember clearly, that I thought I saw the guy driving nod off on the steering wheels.

I tried to engage him with a joke, next thing, the car was somersaulting. Must have been more than three times. As it rolled over and over, I kept shouting one thing. Efe, was to tell me later, Ali money go do you something”… what?

She said I kept shouting “My cheque! My cheque!! My cheque!!!”How was I to know? To God almighty, I thought I was shouting “My Chest!”… anyway, we later found #TheBookof5000JokesAndOneliners that I was reading. And true, there was a cheque inside. A Trans International Bank crossed cheque of 65k. In 1993… But I still believe I was saying ‘my chest.

In another post, he wrote about the second accident;

The second near death accident was on our way back from the #CoscharisTableTennistournament. The Hiace Bus bringing us from Nnewi somersaulted into the bush after a burst tyre. I was the second passenger in the front seats, next to the driver.

As God would have it, I was looking for my sentimental cassette to change into my Walkman and had removed my seatbelt. I remember trying to lock back my seatbelt when the tyre burst. I was flung out, through the windscreen onto the hot Shagamu expressway and the bus continued its somersaults into the bush. I was one of the only three people who had no serious injuries. The bus was full. I joined in bringing bodies to the road.

We are glad we still have him around.

Comedian, Alibaba Gives Tit-bits on Black-Slave History and how African Culture was Hijacked

Alibaba takes us on a trip down memory lane.

In a lengthy Instagram post, comedian, Alibaba has taken a trip down the road of history as he sheds light on the travails of the African culture.

According to him, the white man first, mocks the African culture, then he copies it. Given the slave as an example, he stated that the slave masters took some black art forms from the slaves and makes them better. This he said birthed jazz, RAP and the likes, which he said originally belongs to the black man.

Again, the comedian posits that the whites started padding their breasts and butts, when they noticed the beauty of the  figure of the African woman. They even made Africans breastfeed their kids because they figured that they are stronger and less prone to diseases when breastfed by Africans.

I Have Worked As A Paddler, Done Conductor And Kabu-Kabu- Alibaba Recounts On His Life Before Fame

Just like every other success story, Alibaba’s life hasn’t always been rosy.

In an interview with Channels TV, Alibaba reminisces on his life before he became a popular comedian.

According to him, he has done several odd jobs in the past. He has worked as a miller, a paddler and a bus conductor. He used to use his father’s car to do kabu-kabu and will brib him with newspapers when he gets back home, he said.

Excerpts from the interview below;

I have been a paddler, and a paddler works for people who have bakeries. He’s the guy that takes that paddle, puts it in the oven to check if the bread is ‘done’ or not. I’ve been a Miller, and a miller is not the one that mixes the flour, he’s the one that puts the flour through the mill and he checks to see that it is properly done. I have done all of those two. And I’ve loaded sand before, 80 pans takes about 1182 shovels; and we dig from where you have water, so you dig from the stream and it makes it heavier. You stand in the water, put your shovel in and then throw.

I’ve loaded bottles before in Super Bock. I have been a bus conductor before, from Ramah park back to Ogbaazu (in Delta State). I had my dad’s Toyota Crown. I will take the car for washing and I would do kabu-kabu (taxi), bribe him by coming with all the newspapers and put on the table.

Alibaba Speaks on Davido’s Claims of Making N500M in One Night, Says it’s Just a Tip

Alibaba thinks the entertainment industry can do more.

Ace comedian, Alibaba in a lenghty Instagram post has validated Davido’s claims of making half a billion Naira. According to the singer, his 30Billion concert of the  27th of December 2016 earned him N500M.

According to the comedian, the entertainment industry has more potentials than other industries. He advised that other professionals should stop comparing themselves with entertainers.

His words below;

This afternoon, at about 1pm, I got a message on my WhatsApp asking me to confirm if Davido can actually make the kind of money he claims to have made. I thought the sender was patronizing… or as we say in Warri “e dey use style find my mouth”.
But this evening, I got another chat from a Banker, who wanted to know if the kind of money he is hearing could be made from a concert. I could not ignore this one. He is the Chief Risk Officer of a top 5 bank. So, I took my time to mention how possible it is to even make more than the figure he has heard being mentioned.
In 2007…
I worked on an Entertainment, sports, hospitality and recreation R&D project with some great minds. That was 10 years ago. And after all information and surveys were gathered, we found out that between 5-8Billions… Yes billions… are spent between Friday and Sunday. 10 years on, from another survey carried out last year, its now over 15billion every weekend. The financial dynamics can be dazzling.
That’s showbizness.

“The Point People Miss”

It’s unfair, or better put, a total waste of efforts to compare your career as a banker, doctor, lawyer, accountant, engineer and businessman, to that of people in the sector listed above. Usain Bolt for instance could make the profits of some banks just by taking part in 3 meets. Because the prize money, endorsements and investments, could amount to some cool dollars. Just convert that. Mayweather is another case in point.
THE POINT PEOPLE MISS IS THIS… The Entertainment sector is a gold mine that activates commercial activities in allied sectors. Sectors like, banking, security, hospitality, food and beverage, fashion, video & photo coverage, equipment rental, printing, advertising, branding, luxury market, marketing, legal, graphics, insurance, stage, engineering, medical, transportation, tourism, events management, comedy, broadcasting content, telecommunications, data consumption… and more. ZENITH BANK, GTB, HERITAGE, PEPSI, GLO… know this. And it can be a 200billion every weekend sector. We are far behind considering the potentials we have. So yes. N500m IS A TIP

Comedian Alibaba admonish pastors, talks on tithing and homosexuality.

We are doomed – Alibaba

" Alibaba speaks on tithing and homosexuality

The father of Nigerian comedy and actor, Alibaba sent a strong message on his Instagram account. He addressed the issue of tithing and homosexuality. Read what he said:

If any PASTOR agrees that a man can marry a man and that a woman can marry a woman… something that is not in the bible, then he has no right to preach about sin. In fact, he has lost the right to call anyone a sinner. Because it can not be only tithes that cannot be changed. People keep permitting everything and harping on the one that suits them. If you agree that men can marry men, then we can begin to negotiate tithes. I know many are afraid to speak on this matter. But the truth is there… It’s not going away. Come and be drumming into my ears “God said…”

“It is written” “God is always right” “But we should let people decide their partners”. No argument. You said God says man shall not steal. BUT A MAN WHO HAD NOTHING goes into politics. One term down, he builds a mansion that his 20 years salary as a politician, can not fund or afford. But you go pray to open the house, all the same, and dedicate it to God. GOD SAID pay your tithe. And you say that is sacrosanct. Can I decide who to give it to? You say no. But God said a man must leave his parents and cling to a woman, you are accepting alterations. Kwuanteeenuuuu”

End SARS: Until Police Officers Start Getting Dismissed for Brutality and their Pensions Diverted to Victims, Nothing will Change- Comedian, Alibaba

Alibaba weighs in on the End SARS campaign.

In a Social Media post, ace comedian, Alibaba talked about the ills and irregularities of the country. He talked about how our forces constantly brutalise innocent citizens with so much impunity.

His post below;

‘I like Nigerian Government sha. If I release a video today, say by 8am this morning saying I will make this country ungovernable and I will see to it that all our leaders know no peace… I would be arrested, thoroughly dehumanized, in chains and be in Police Headquarters, on invitation of the Inspector General of Police before 12noon. That’s like in 4 hours. But a video of officers that are supposed to protect citizens surfaces and goes viral, HEADS ARE NOT ROLLING. BECAUSE WE LACK GOOD HEADS.

Think about It, this is the same reasons things always remain the same in our country. Naval ratings will consumately beat up an unarmed woman because she did NOT jump into the gutters for an Admiral to pass. Fela’s mother was thrown out of a storey building. Citizens shot like wild animals. Videos showing police officers brutalizing unarmed citizens. Soldiers will burn down a BRT bus because the operators insulted a military man.

Military men will go to Ojuelegba, raze down a police station just to prove a point. And nothing will happen. They will do it again in Calabar. And still nothing will happen. APO SIX. Dele Udoh, is dead. And gone. Many sad stories puncture the landscape of our country where constituted authority take laws into their hands and no one calls them to order. But let one person SAY he will do… not even do… Just an intention to do… he will be in custody in 48 hours or less. 

@areafada1 has not harmed one person yet… But he has been dealt with. Can you imagine what will happen if he slaps a police man? YOU SEE, UNTIL POLICE OFFICERS’ WHO DO THESE THINGS, START GETTING DISMISSED AND THEIR PENSIONS DIVERTED TO VICTIMS OF BRUTALITY ACCOUNT SET UP TO HANDLE THESE EXCESSES… nothing will change. To protect and to serve. That’s all. Nothing more nothing less. What do I know Sef? Shebi I am just a comedian?’

Cows Made it to the Nigerian Constitution Before the Physically Challenged- Alibaba

This is in reaction to the Grazing Bill.

In an Instagram post, ace comedian, Alibaba reacted to the Grazing Bill. He said that it pains him that it is even a topic for discussion. Herdsmen who killed farm owners and destroyed farms are yet to be brought to book he said. He added that Nigeria’s priorities as a country has been misplaced. His words below.

Alibaba

‘I love my country… a country where cows make it into the constitution before the physically challenged. Wow! This grazing bill just upsets me on all levels. And that we are even discussing it, while the herdsmen, who attacked owners of the farms that were destroyed, are yet to be brought to book just speaks volumes’.

‘When are we going to see that our priorities are misplaced? That’s how some people will be fighting for the sack of unqualified teachers… but those who are fighting for the sack don’t see how important it is to remove quack journalists from damaging the integrity of the 4th Estate. It’s ok to let the journalistic integrity go to rot… but quack teachers must go! Thieves who are politicians can refund money… but the thieves who are mekunus must go to jail’.

Stop Encouraging Laziness, Alibaba Speaks on Giving Alms to Able Bodied Beggars

Ace comedian, Alibaba took to Instagram to talk about the alarming rate at which able bodied men now take to begging.

Sharing a video of a handicapped vulcanizer, struggling to fix a tyre, he wrote…

Many things inspire me. This video has just joined the lot.

This right here is one reason I detest dashing money to full grown adults, who hang around event venues and think they deserve a slice of what you worked hard to earn. They call you stingy and mean for not encouraging their laziness. As you may know, they actually feel they are entitled to beg and think that you are mandated to give

The reason they are on the increase is because we feed their expectations and sustain their bad habits. There is this one, a tall, lanky grey bearded one that wears an oversized jacket always, I have known him to beg since 1998!!!! And every time I talk to him he says the same thing… “bros work no dey anywhere”. Since 98!!!!

Stop encouraging laziness. Your generosity toward such lazy people don’t count as charity.

A friend advised his cousin, who came to beg for a 50k loan, to pick up a job as fuel attendant at a new Petrol Station in Lekki. She even added that she would put in a word for him since she was the account officer to the owner.

The cousin didn’t tell her yes or no, It was the cousin’s mum that called her to ask her what she meant by telling her son to go start selling fuel.

One of the neighbours who the mum had complained to before calling to blast her, was to later meet her one Sunday after church service, to ask for the attendant’s job. She called the owner and luckily there was an opening.

Interestingly, the opening came up because one of the attendants left for Youth Service in Ebonyi. Meanwhile Mr Cousin, a SCHOOL cert holder, is too big to sell fuel.

You people should continue encouraging nonsense and still be wondering where we got it wrong.
