What's Happening

Well, looks very much like the comic strip has been 'reloaded' and this time around it's going to be more fun when Opa Williams "Night of a Thousand Laughs" echoes at the Shell Center, Muson Hall in Lagos on October 1 for Nigeria's independent anniversary.

According to Williams who sits as CEO of the show, he gave props to the comedy show as:

"the premier and very obviously the premium comedy show in Nigeria. Nite Of A Thousand Laughs has come of age and accordingly it has decided to be more dynamic in its outing. This year, the event which is now a highly accepted show is now a brand of its own and in keeping with that, we have decided to look inward and give it a proper definition of what it is suppose to be; A Nite of A Thousand Laugh- strictly comedy and comedy only with a tinge of music. This is to give it a distinction from other comedy events, which are off shoots of the programme. We intend to feature only the top comedians and nothing else, so what you see is 70 per cent comedy from those that rule the game and 20 per cent music and 10 per cent upcoming comedians."

It's also good to know that afro beat legend Fela Anikulapo Kuti will soon be getting a street in his name in Abuja alongside Ken Saro Wiwa, Wole Soyinka and several others the government now thinks have done something worthy for the country to be recognized.
