Whoever recommended Akoproro as the
comedian to perform at the recently held inauguration gala in Abuja
would certainly be regretting it. The comedian’s performance was
certainly below average for the less than 10 minutes he spent on the
stage.
Before now, Akpororo was rated as one of
the funniest up-and-coming comedians whose jokes could crack a lot of
ribs. Perhaps, that was the reason he was invited to make people laugh
and spice up the inauguration ball.
But the comedian didn’t put to good use
his few minutes of fame. He allowed the once in a life time opportunity
to fizzle before his eyes.
From his first joke to the last one, it
was just Akpororo that was laughing. Apparently, he just had to laugh at
his own jokes when he noticed that nobody else found what he was saying
funny.
He
may have decided to go for the ‘kill’ with the last joke thinking he
was saving the best for last, but of course, it was still as flat as the
other two jokes he had given earlier.
Before he left, he had said he was going
to come back. Apparently, he was given two slots to perform. However,
the organisers couldn’t have taken another chance with Akpororo’s dry
jokes as he never climbed the stage again.
