In a recent episode of The Honest Bunch Podcast, Atunyota Alleluya Akpobome, the veteran comedian widely known as Alibaba, boldly asserted that he is the creative force behind many of the jokes that Nigerian comedians commonly share on stage.
The self-proclaimed 'King of Comedy' expressed his view that, despite comedians frequently recycling his jokes, some within the industry still perceive that he hasn't made significant contributions to the comedy landscape.
Alibaba made these statements during the podcast, which is co-hosted by actor Chinedu Ani Emmanuel, also known as Deity Cole, and Husband Material.

Alibaba said, “Sometimes some people will say I am not helping but 4/5 of the jokes you are telling are mine.
“There was one guy who called me the other day, very popular skit maker. He pushed one video out. And it’s a joke about… This one happened in Warri when someone wanted to cut somebody’s light and they brought dogs and cutlasses and told the person, ‘When you finish come down.’ I told that joke 1988. And then they turned it into skit.
“There are several skits circulating that are inspired by my jokes.”
Alibaba offered a piece of advice to skit makers and comedians, emphasizing the importance of giving credit to the original creators of content ideas.
