Comedian Ushbebe: ‘I Get My Jokes From My Dreams’

Posted: 11 Jul 2021 12:00 AM PDT

Justice Nuagbe, a Nigerian comedian popularly called Ushbebe, discloses that being a comedian is a tough job while revealing how he gets his jokes from his dreams.

The comic act stated this in a chat with HipTV when speaking on how he creates timeless jokes. He mentioned that he's a spontaneous comedian who can freestyle with things happening around him for over 40 minutes.

The funny man added that he gets his comedy inspirations from his dreams, stating that when he dreams, he wakes up and does a voice recording of the joke to further fine-tune it for production.

Ushbebe stressed that he was serious about getting comedy inspiration from dreams. In the video seen by WithinNigeria, he brought out his phone to play a voice note of a joke he recorded when he just woke up.

"I can wake up at 3 AM, what I see in my dream, I turn it into a joke —that's how difficult this work is," Ushbebe said.

He continued, "it's a hard job. To create a timeless joke, you could either script them, work towards performing them, imagine them, and if it happens on stage for you and you can kill it at a time, it is fine."

"Timeless joke creation is particular to how your presentations are as a comedian. Me, I just want to flow with the time, I just try to stay timeless," he added.

The comedian's annual show, the chronicles of Ushbabe 15: the Vaccine Edition, is scheduled for July 25, 2021 at the Eko Hotels and Suites.

"MARRIAGE according to The Bible

Step 1: Man approaches Woman
 
Step 2: Man proposes marriage to Woman

Step 3: Woman accepts proposal

Step 4: They both tell their parents

Posted: 10 Jul 2021 10:00 PM PDT

Nigerian relationship blogger Blessing Okoro has defended men who don't last over two minutes in bed in her post on Instagram.

Against the general belief that men who cannot last more than two minutes while making love are sexually weak, Blessing argued that the women are to be blamed for this.

She explained that if a woman is too sweet, her man may not last over two minutes in bed because men can't often control their urge when dealing with such a woman.

Blessing said; "You don't always have to blame your man for being a 2 mins man. Yes… most times, it's your fault because you are too sweet. When a woman is too sweet, the man can't control his urge".

Unknown Gunmen Invade Imo House Of Assembly, Attack Speaker, Others

Posted: 10 Jul 2021 08:00 AM PDT

The Speaker of the House, Paul Emeziem, announced the suspension of six members for suspected "unparliamentary behaviour" on Thursday, throwing the Imo State House of Assembly into pandemonium.

Following the statement, it was learned that the Speaker of the Assembly, Paul Emeziem, and certain members of the House narrowly avoided being shot by unknown shooters.

During the incident, the Speaker's personal aides hurriedly escorted him out of the building.

Emeziem had already announced the indefinite suspension of two PDP members and four APC members.

The affected lawmakers were Kennedy Ibe (Obowo), Crown Onyemaechi (Ihitte-Uboma), Uche Ogbuagu (Ikeduru), Dominic Ezerioha (Oru West), Philip Ejiogu (Owerri North), and Anyadike Nwosu (Ezinihitte Mbaise).

While Ejiogu and Nwosu were of PDP, the other four were of the ruling party in the state, APC.

The Imo Assembly also dissolved all its standing committees as well and also sacked the House Chief Whip, Arthur Egwim (Ideato North).

It replaced Egwim with Obinna Okwara (Nkwerre).

Emeziem announced the news on the House floor, saying the suspension was necessary to allow the House to operate in relative peace and order.

He stated that the decision was made during the House's executive session, and that his leadership would not tolerate activities that would bring the House into dishonor and ridicule.

"We have observed that some members here have been conducting themselves in an unparliamentary manner thereby bringing the house to ridicule," the Speaker said.

"We have thoroughly examined this issue at the executive session of the house and have resolved that peace and order must continue to reign.

"The executive session has therefore recommended the suspension of the members who have engaged in different misconduct.

"This action is in line with ensuring that the image of the house remains as it should be, while providing a functional environment and the synergy which we are required to provide to ensure all arms of government work together."
