Truth be told,when the richest man in Africa invites you to anchor his daughter’s wedding , it should be an avenue to make mega money. However, Nigerian comedian, Alibaba has revealed that he didn’t charge Aliko Dangote for Fatima’s wedding.
Recall that Alibaba reiterated this on Instagram.
According to him: ”Dangote is my friend and I chose to play a part in the wedding ceremony of his daughter for free. I have done a lot of events for him such as dinners, luncheons, award ceremonies, among other events and I was nicely paid. For instance, if (former President Olusegun) Obasanjo, calls me for an event, I would handle the event for free because of my relationship with him. If he then offers me anything out of the abundance of his heart, I would take it. I don’t see why anybody should raise eyebrows over my decision. Other comedians were there and they did well” he told Punch.
In his Instagram post, Alibaba complained about how tough it was for him to control the crowd at the wedding.
“The challenge of being an MC at a state function can be daunting. After dealing with protocol, then come the issues of timing and duration. There seems to be a long journey towards achieving the seeming decorum”.
