SENATOR BREAKS SILENCE: "I HAVE SUFFERED INJUSTICE FROM MY COLLEAGUES"
Bethel Njoku is one of the fast rising comedians Nigeria has produced in recent times. With the stage name; 'Senator,' the talented comic act has carved an niche for him self in the industry.
However, a while ago, he tongue lashed his colleagues over recycling of his popular jokes and on that note they see him being pompous and unfriendly but Senator said that's not the case.
"I am not pompous but I was only being myself. I have suffered this injustice for a long time and kept mute about it. I never meant my jokes should not be used by other comedians but I think they should make reference to me while using it. Most times when I use these jokes some people feel I am copying those who used the jokes I created and I can not continue like that. Many of them use these jokes and even put them on CDs.
There was a time Ali Baba gave me a joke and after using the joke on stage, I told the audience who the originator was. I did the same thing when Emeka Smith gave me a joke in America. That does not mean I was short of jokes or I was not funny. It also did not stop the joke from been hilarious, in fact, it was one of the most applauded jokes of the night, " he explained.© 2014Nollywoodgists.com
