Comedian, Emmanuel Ejekwu, popularly known as Sabinus, has revealed his father never supported his comedy business, and so, he refused to bless it
He revealed this in a candid interview with VJ Adams. He disclosed his father wabted him to become a lawyer, but when he failed to secure a Law admission, he settled for Linguistics and Communication Studies.
He however found out while at the University of Port Harcourt that he has a comedy talent and started making skits.
The comedian said when his dad found out that he was a skit maker, he regretted funding his education and described the profession as “stupid business.”
He said, “At first, my dad never wanted me to be what I am today, he wanted me to be a lawyer. I tried my best but I couldn’t secure a law admission. So, I had to settle for Linguistics and Communication Studies at Uniport.
“It was on the campus that I saw skit making and I decided to try it out. Money wasn’t coming.
“After I graduated, my dad never knew I was a comedian because I was hiding it. It was one more year after school that he started seeing me on comedy show posters. My sisters confirmed to him that I was into comedy. He was very furious. He fumed, ‘Which comedy? Stupid business. Look at the boy I sent to become a lawyer.’”
The comedian added that his dad eventually gave him his blessings after he started gifting him money from his proceeds from comedy.
