Yvonne Jegede reacted to comedian Ali baba post on Instagram


Nollywood actress, Yvonne Jegede has reacted to comedian,, Ali Baba’s post on how high achieving women are being frustrated in relationships and marriages.
Alibaba, in his post, pointed out that most women in this generation are becoming very ambitious and instead of it motivating the men, they have become very insecure.
The actress, in her reaction to his post, stated that it is the story of her life, as she took a swipe at her estranged husband, Kunle Abounce, who is late actress Bukky Ajayi’s son.





Could this be said any better? 🤷🏽‍♀️ #Repost @alibabagcfr with @get_repost ・・・ And when the young ladies decide to pocket the achievements and advantages they have, so they can submit to a man in that their age bracket, many of these men have been so beaten by the tides of life, that they are too busy fighting the wife they should work with. _ Any attempt by the wife to suggest to him to get up and do something to succeed is treated as disrespect, nagging, pressure and sometimes stress. _ One guy was so broken by the frustration of not having made it since he graduated in 2010, and still without a job, that he wanted his Assistant Manager fiance, to move to his father's house in Magodo, from the Oniru 2 bedroom, she presently occupied. _ Why don't you move in with her and make your great moves from there? "Never. I can't marry and move into my wife's house." That is from a 32-year-old guy, who still lives in his parent's house. _ Don't get me wrong ooo. The economy is messed up. Our politicians have not done much to drag us out of the downturn. After elections, they start working toward the next election. _ The problem has left many young men, not ready to be married. They are not prepared or do not have what it takes to be a man that can take a woman as a wife. And not just as wife, to even be able to provide as the head of the house. _ So the few men who are loaded and ready are few and in very high demand. Many ladies can hurt any other lady who tries to take any rare find, of such a man. Especially if he has a house, a good job, a good car, looks good, dresses well and has very few defects. _ So what's the issue? The issue now is that, even when this kind of young men, meets young ladies, who (for any reason) had a headstart, the young men are too faaaaaar behind, ill-equipped and unprepared in the sourcing for opportunities and management of the relationship. _ They are now slaves to the ego, frustration, pride, peer pressure, poverty of mind and sometimes total disillusionment. _ Look around. Don't say I told you. Everywhere. There are many, who don't know what to do, how to do it, where to do it when to do it… Even with a Masters Degree in Bus Admin, LL

How to become a great comedian



Starting out in stand-up com edy can be overwhelming and a little scary. Before you freak out, check out this helpful list of tips on improving your act and getting over failure for new and struggling stand-up comedians.


1.  Get On Stage Now


No amount of helpful tips or discussion can take the place of experience, and that's pretty much all that counts when it comes to stand-up. It's a true "learn-by-doing" art form, and you won't know what works (and what doesn't) until you've gotten on stage in front of an audience. The more chances you have to perform, the more you'll be able to learn. Many comedians perform multiple times a night in the early years, hopping from club to club or open mic to open mic. There is no substitute for stage time in comedy, so make sure you're getting lots of it.

2.  Don't Be Afraid to Bomb

You're not going to bring the house down every time you step on stage, particularly in the beginning. That means, from time to time, you're going to find out what it's like to bomb. That's ok; bombing can be very useful. You'll learn which parts of your actions aren't working and possibly why. You'll quickly find out how you react in these situations: are you fast on your feet? Can you recover the set? If nothing else, the experience of the bombing will be unpleasant enough that you'll work that much harder on your act to avoid it ever happening again. Fear can be a powerful motivator.

3.  Keep Up With Your Old Stuff

Even if you're working up new material, don't forget to keep your old stuff fresh. Maybe you've got a great setup, but there's a punchline or tag that will make a joke work even better. There's always room for improvement; go back every once in a while and punch up older jokes with new tags or punchlines. This can also be a great way to break out of a rut -- it gets your creativity going without requiring you to generate new material out of thin air.

4.  Don't Steal

Don't steal. Just don't. Don't even "borrow" or "rephrase." It's never cool, and it will end your career as a stand-up very quickly. If you ever think you might be lifting a joke from another comic -- even if it's unintentionally or subconsciously or whatever -- just drop the joke. It's not worth being labeled as a thief and a hack, which is ultimately what could happen.

5.  Stick to Your Time

Always be sure to stay within the time slot given to you by a promoter, club manager or open mic organizer. It's rude and unprofessional to go longer than your allotted time; remember, there are other comedians that are following you, and they should get every minute they've been promised. Conversely, it's also unprofessional to do less time on stage than what you're expected to deliver. That puts an unfair pressure on the comic after you to fill in the gap and perform longer than he or she had anticipated. Even if you're bombing, you're expected to fill a certain slot and should fill it. You want to establish a reputation for yourself as being a professional, and sticking to your time slot is a good way to do that.

6.  Tape Yourself

If you're able to (depending on where you're performing), take a video of your performance. Think of it like a football team's "game film"; you'll be able to go back and watch yourself to see what worked and what needs changing. Were you talking too fast? Did you step on laughs from the crowd? These are things you probably won't be aware of in the moment, when nerves and adrenalin may get the better of you. A videotape will give you the opportunity to examine and reflect on your performance so you can make changes for the future. Just remember not to obsess over it too much; if you over-evaluate, you may lose so of the freshness and spontaneity in your act.

7.  Hit the Clubs
