Behind
the Mic
Nigerian comedian and conferencier
Call him the Godfather of Nigerian Comedy. But really, he’s more than that. He’s a cultural pacesetter. A voice that turned laughter into legacy. A pioneer who walked into silence and made a nation roar.
Alibaba didn’t just tell jokes. He told truth with timing. He didn’t just perform on stage. He built one, for an entire generation.
At a time when being a comedian in Nigeria was “not a real job,” he took the mic and turned it into a movement fighting stereotypes, commanding respect, and creating a multimillion Naira industry where once there was nothing but noise.
From corporate boardrooms to roadside stages, from Aso Rock to TEDx, Alibaba’s journey is living proof that humour, when wielded with purpose, can shift culture.
If you peel away the humour that carries the punchlines, you’ll find something deeper, a sharp mind, unfiltered truths, and a mirror held up to society. His jokes aren’t just funny. They’re an X-ray of the times. A way to say what others won’t, in a language everyone understands. His name is now a reference point. His presence, a benchmark.
And even when he’s quiet, he’s saying something. Beyond the spotlight, there’s a thinker. A mentor. A patriot and someone who deeply believes in the power of stories to challenge, comfort, and change people.
This site isn’t just about comedy. It’s a gallery of impact. A space to connect, reflect, and understand why laughter in a country like ours is sometimes the only thing holding us together.
