Why I don’t show off my family on social media –Gbenga Adeyinka

Ace comedian, Gbenga Adeyinka, has revealed why he does not show off his family on social media. In an interview with Punch, the 53-year-old said, “I celebrate my family on their birthdays, anniversaries, and other special days but I do not show them off regularly for personal reasons. I am not saying it is wrong to show off one’s family on social media but I do what is best for me. There were times people ask me why I do not bring my wife to my events. I reply by asking, ‘Why don’t I follow my wife to court too?’ My wife is a lawyer and the same way the court is her workplace, so is the stage my workplace. “Being alive is my biggest achievement so far. Previously, I would think that creating one of the biggest platforms for comedy was my greatest achievement. More so, I used to think that staying this long in the industry and being the first person to start up a comedy magazine were my biggest achievements. However, COVID-19 made me realise being alive is my biggest achievement.’’
