My Poor Background Propels My Quest For Success – Sabinus Says

Emmanuel Chukwuemeka, the popular skit comedian and rising artiste in the Nigerian entertainment space, who is well known as Sabinus (The Investor), has explained that he comes from a very poor family and that is what drives his quest for success.

The Ikwerre speaking comedian from Rivers State also explained in this interview that drug is the major factor affecting and derailing the youths today, pointing out that he neither uses drugs nor alcohol. Excerpts

You are in Jos for your colleague’s show, who is also a skit comedian, Funny Gee. How do you feel being in Jos – the ‘Home of Peace and Tourism’?

This is my first time of being in Jos, the Plateau State capital. Since I was born, I have only been hearing the name Jos but I have never been here. I am happy with what I have seen so far. The city is really peaceful and quiet.

Jos is known to be the home of entertainment. What is your take on that?

First of all, Jos has produced so many talents; that is something that cannot be hidden. The likes of Ice Prince, M.I, 2 Face Idibia and so many others came from this axis of Nigeria (Jos). That is why I have great respect for the place. Even at the Funny Gee’s show titled ‘Hit the Ground Running’, I said that a land like Jos which produced such talents is a blessed land.

On Sunday, a drunk driver allegedly rammed into his car in the Lekki area of Lagos State. 

The poor condition of the car at the accident scene caused concern among fans who wondered if Sabinus was okay. 

Sabinus posted on his Instagram story to reassure his fans that he was safe and sound.

He also thanked his colleagues and fans for their calls and concern for his well-being.

He wrote, “Safe and sound. Thanks guys for the calls and care.”

Sabinus also advised against drinking and driving on his Instagram page.

“Don’t drink and drive. Stay safe,” he advised.

Sabinus’ accident happened just a week after gospel singer Dunsin Oyekan was involved in a car accident.

Despite the accident, Oyekam stated on his Instagram page on Saturday that he was “perfectly fine.” 

“Indeed God is Sweet to Worship,” he wrote on his Instagram page (OLUWADUNSIN). God is my glory, the one who raises my head.”
