Nigerian stand-up comedian, Bovi, is undoubtedly an A-list comedian, who has worked with the biggest names in Nigerian entertainment and also with international acts like Wyclef Jean and Ja-Rule.
During a recent #MySuperStarStory interview, Bovi revealed that his sojourn to the top of the comedy circuit in Nigeria was far from easy.
He revealed that upon moving to Lagos, he squatted with an uncle, who himself was squatting with a colleague. He went on to reveal that after taking up comedy as a career, he was billed to perform at a big comedy show in 2008, but upon getting to the venue he was told that he was not on the bill and thus was not allowed to perform, his pleas to be given a chance notwithstanding.
The heartbreaking experience, he said moved him to tears.
#MySuperStarStory aims to celebrate and recognize stories of triumph over adversity and thus inspire young Nigerians to be successful. There is a STAR in everyone. You can join the conversation and share your own superstar story on social media, using the hashtag #MySuperStarStory.
