According to Basketmouth, Ghana was the first country that gave him a platform to perform as a comedian outside of Nigeria. According to him, he had been struggling to make it in the Nigerian entertainment industry for years, but it wasn’t until he traveled to Ghana that he was given a chance to showcase his talents.
Basketmouth explained he had been performing in small clubs in Nigeria for years but needed recognition and exposure he needed to make it big. He said he had even considered giving up on his dream of becoming a comedian.
However, everything changed when he was invited to perform at a comedy show in Ghana. Basketmouth said that the crowd in Ghana was very receptive to his jokes, and they laughed at everything he said. He felt a sense of validation he had never experienced before, giving him the confidence he needed to continue pursuing his dream.
Basketmouth went on to perform in Ghana many times over the years, and he said that he always felt welcomed and appreciated by the Ghanaian people. He said that he owes Ghana a lot for the opportunities they gave him, and he will always be grateful for their support.
Basketmouth’s success has continued to grow over the years, and he is now one of the most popular comedians in Nigeria and beyond. He has performed worldwide, including in the United States and Europe, and has won numerous awards for his work.
Basketmouth’s story is a testament to the power of perseverance and the importance of having a supportive community. Despite facing setbacks and challenges early on in his career, he never gave up on his dream, and he eventually found success thanks to the support of the Ghanaian people.
