Layi Wasabi, the Nigerian skit maker, has revealed why he avoids promoting nudity in his content.

In a recent interview with BBC Pidgin, Wasabi said his comedic style does not rely on nudity because he believes comedy should come from good storytelling.

“Di kain skit wey I dey do no need naked women but I no go judge anybody. But me wetin appeal to me na hin I dey do,” he said in Pidgin English.

“Comedy na wetin you fit do effortlessly, and if you tell your story well well, you fit make people laugh you no need to dey involve women wey dey naked.”

The Nigerian movie industry has again been thrown into mourning after the news of the death of another veteran Nollywood actor, Zulu Adigwe, surfaced on social media on Tuesday.

Adigwe’s death was announced by a movie producer, Stanley Nwoko, in a post on his Instagram page .

Mourning the actor, Nwoko wrote, “Rest in peace, good actor.”

Adigwe’s death is coming two weeks after Junior Pope and three other Nollywood actors died in a boat accident in Anam River.

The actors were said to be on their way to a location when the incident occurred.

Adigwe gained recognition primarily for portraying fatherly characters in Nollywood films.

His breakthrough role came as Mr. B in the popular sitcom “Basi and Company.”

Simi, the Nigerian singer and songwriter, says she did not want to write ‘Joromi‘, her 2017 hit single.

‘Joromi’ is the fifth track off ‘Simisola’, the singer’s second studio album, and remains one of her biggest songs to date.

In an interview with CNN Africa, the 36-year-old disclosed that she is sometimes forced to write songs even when she does not have “any inspiration”.

She described ‘Joromi’ as a “deadline song”, adding that she was “irritated” while writing it.

“Sometimes I do not have any inspiration but I have a deadline. I do not really like those because it is like you have to force it to come and I am not crazy about those,” she said.

“But I have made like really great songs from those, ‘Joromi’ was one of those. ‘Joromi’ was a deadline song. I was even done. They sent me a beat and I was like I am done writing but they said this beat and I was like okay.

“I wrote like five different songs on that piece that I did not like them and ‘Joromi’ came and that was like the deadline song. I did not even want to write the song, I was just irritated but I am glad that I did.”
