Comedians should be paid by Federal Government for contributing to the country’s peace —GeejokesGeeJokes is a fast-rising comedian who has made a name for himself with his wittiness and spontaneity, right from his days as an undergraduate in the University of Ibadan. He speaks to ROTIMI IGE in this interview on why comedians deserve more recognition in Nigeria, his upcoming event, among other issues. Comedians should be paid by the Federal Government because we contribute a lot to the country. Through comedy I’ve met a lot of people that are now like family to me. Much of my happiness comes from when people say ‘nice performance Geejokes, your jokes took my sorrows away’ or when people refer me for high-paying jobs.
