Basketmouth Comedian apologizes to Goodluck Jonathan

 

Popular Nigerian comedian Basketmouth, 37, has apologized to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan for saying his administration placed the country in a septic tank.

Yesterday (Tuesday, August 10, 2016) the famous comedian blamed the country's present economic woes on the immediate past government. "Nigeria was in a bad place by the end of the last administration and it was only a matter of time before we would have suffered the plights of Brazil and Venezuela" he wrote on his Instagram page. 

How I gave up my name to Basket Mouth" -MC Miracle '(Old Basket Mouth)

Comedian Ernest Essien originally known as Basket mouth has opened up to Vanguard on how he let Bright Okpocha, now famous as ‘Basketmouth keep the name’.Ernest said he was bearing the name but had to change his to MC Miracle to avoid clash of identity.....

No, he didn’t steal the name. Sometime in 2000-2001, Basketmouth approached me during one of the Plantashun Boiz’s concert at D Den on Isaac John in Ikeja and he introduced himself to me as ‘Basketmouth’ and told me he heard I was also using the name. I was already an established entertainer then so what I saw was a younger brother from Benin with hunger for success in his eyes. There and then, I asked him if he liked the name and his response was in the affirmative. I told him to keep the name so I changed mine. Most of my friends including my wife did not approve of this. They said I sold my birthright to him. Till date, some of my colleagues still call me MC

Did the change in name affect you?

Basketmouth's 'Uncensored' 2014 UK Tour Is Mega Success

 

Basketmouth embarked on his ‘Uncensored’ 2014 tour from Port Harcourt and landed in the U.K over the Valentine weekend.

The Nigerian Ace comedian visits 4 cities: Aberdeen, Manchester, Birmingham and, finally, London at the Indigo O2 Arena.

Tickets to the show were sold out a week before the concert date and even after launching standing tickets, they sold out in hours! The concert has gone down as the 1st African comedy or music show to be sold out completely in London.

Interestingly the ad campaign promoted Basketmouth as the only performing artist for the night (which many feared may affect turn out being that most shows are known to feature top music acts alongside comedy), but this was set-up as the traditional one-man stand up gig. He held the crowd down with a straight set of 2 hours, all brand new material.

The similar show can be seen in Lagos on May 4, 2014, at the Eko Hotel & suites Convention Centre.
