Ace Nigerian comedian, Bovi Ugboma has opened up on his relationship with fellow comedian AY Makun.
In a recent interview Speaking with Ebuka Obi-Uchendu on Rubbin Mind, Bovi explained that they simply grew apart.
“I think we just grew apart. I like to do my own thing my own way and if your style is different from my style we just grow apart basically but we cool. When I see him I say what’s up,” he said.
Bovi added that it’s impossible for everyone in the Nigerian comedy industry to like one another, while quickly establishing that it doesn’t imply there is hate either.
“Personally, I don’t think everybody can like each other. One thing I know is they don’t necessarily hate each other. It is a tricky situation,” he said.
He also spoke on his refusal to appear in comical shows headlined with the name of fellow comedians.
“As regards the shows, in the beginning, I used to do everybody’s show but now I want to do it the way it is internationally accepted.”

“If we are doing a nite of thousand laughs, I am willing to be on that platform. But it got to the point where I am like I can’t be on a show that is run by a comedian’s name and every one feature but you the comedian come on your own show and you are not telling jokes.
Rather you are just MCing and bringing everyone on stage then we go home and you make all the money. I want to do a show and have a command of my performance like an album.”
Bovi Ugboma had earlier advised his colleagues to embrace the art of creating album-like skits to sustain relevance.
The comedian made the recommendation on Sunday 25th April at the virtual 8th edition of the Nigerian Entertainment Conference (NEC Live).
He said comedians should start thinking of longevity and how to maintain proper structure.
“We need to create something like an album, like making eight videos. Some comedians are already doing it. Comedians should think of something like this, making eight episodes of content, so they can have time to do other things as against you consuming your life every week”. He said.
