Veteran Nigerian comedian Ali Baba, whose real name is Atunyota Alleluya Akpobome, has disclosed that numerous wives of his friends and associates engage in extramarital affairs with governors and wealthy politicians.
The 59-year -old during a recent interview with Outside the Box podcast spoke about the unsavoury activities prevalent among the nation’s elite.
The comedian recounted a particular encounter in which he saw the wife of an associate at the residence of a state governor.
Ali Baba had this to say, “I have been in the houses of a lot of big men—like governors and the rest—and I see wives of a lot of people that I know doing things, and I greet, ‘How are you? How is everything?’
“And then those guys would do their philandering, tap her bum and say, ‘Go back inside, I’m not finished with you,’ and she went back inside. Then I ran into her at an event, and her husband said, ‘Oh, how are you? Meet my wife.’ I responded, ‘Oh madam, it’s a pleasure. I haven’t seen you in five years. Where have you been?’ And she’s like, ‘I’ve been around, good to see you.’
“When she sees me somewhere after, she calls me and says, ‘Ali, thanks,’ I say, ‘It’s okay.’”
