My Father Wanted Me To Study Law — Comedian Oga Sabinus

Popular comedian Emmanuel Chukwuemeka Ejekwu aka Oga Sabinus has explained how his father wanted him to study law as an undergraduate.

The ‘Smothing hooge’ crooner graduated from the Department of Linguistics and Communication, University of Port Harcourt.

He had his secondary education at Princess International College in Port Harcourt.

During an interview on Channels TV Rubbin’ Minds hosted by media personality, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, Ejekwu said he always had a knack for cracking people up but his father wanted him to study Law.

He said: “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.”
