An example of that is the case of Mark Angel Comedy and Emmanuella comedy,they have a Hugh presence on social media especially YouTube.

Before I continue with mark angel comedy and emmanuella I want us to look at the history of comedy in Nigeria.

How it all began,who were the fore runners of Nigerian comedy? who were the people that paved the way for this present day generation of comedians?

1.James Iroha 

popularly known as Gringory was one of the founders of comedy in Nigeria.
He acted hand in hand with one of Nigeria's veteran comedy lords Chika Okpala,in most of the drama series he acted as his house boy.

James Iroha passed away in year 2012 at the age of 69.

Back then there was nothing like stand up comedy or you tube video streaming, these men made Nigerians laugh through drama series televised through the national TV station.

2.Chika Okpala

Another living legend that played a role in making comedy popular in Nigeria is no other than Chika Okpala alias Chief Zebrudaya Okoroigwe Nwogbo alias 4.30.

A nickname he got from his role in one of Nigeria earliest comedy TV program titled ''the masquerade".

It aired in Nigeria from 1983 to 1993.

At 2017 Big Brother Naija show,young Nigerian housemates disclosed that they did not know who Chika Okpala was,but I guess they will be familiar with names like Basket Mouth,IgoDye,Bovi,Emmanuella, Akpororo,Mark Angel,AY etc.

Fast forward to our present era,when we mention comedy and the history of modern comedy one name that we are all familiar with.He is popularly known as Ali Baba

3.Ali Baba

Born Alleluia Atunyota Akporobomeriere ,he has been credited as the father of modern comedy in Nigeria,also he changed the game of comedy and made it lucrative starting from when he charged the paltry sum of N50 to perform at the pavilion of Bendel State University Ekpoma.

From that period Ali Baba began to monetize and change the negative perception that people have about comedians.

Before Ali Baba changed the game,comedians and comedy was seen as a very low earning occupation in fact it was actually not profitable, to add insult to injury comedians were seen as school drop outs /Clowns or touts that weren't educated.

All that was about to change,in the year 1998 Ali Baba registered his company,also he erected bill boards in three strategic positions in Lagos which costs about N150,000 each.

What was written on that billboard was :
Ali Baba - 'Being funny is serious business '



He went ahead  to make Nigerian comedy to become very lucrative and was the earliest comedian to become very rich from comedy,he has been in the profession for over twenty two years.
