Popular Instagram skit maker and comedian, Emmanuel Chukwuemeka Ejekwu known as Oga Sabinus has revealed that his father wanted him to study law during his university days.
Oga Sabinus who became popular for his ‘something hooge’ slogan, however, graduated from the Department of Linguistics and Communication, the University of Port Harcourt as against what his father wanted.
The comedian spoke about relocating to Lagos and how seeing it as the main base for entertainment helped him reach the decision.
“I started comedy in 2015, in Port Harcourt, but I relocated down to Lagos in 2019. My coming to Lagos was because I see it as the main base for entertainment. It gave me new knowledge, ideas.
“Before 2015, I didn’t know comedy can make someone popular, I was just a normal street boy. I’ve always been a funny person. When I got to UNIPORT, my friends wanted me to try comedy well.
“I studied Linguistics and Communication at UNIPORT but at 100 level I was given a change of course form to change to Theatre arts from the HOD then, but I did accept because my father wanted me to study Law at the beginning.
“My father wanted me to be a Lawyer, not even that Linguistics and Communication that I studied. He told me nothing but Law. So from school shows, we found our way here.”
