He described the ‘Lafup Live 20.0 2021 edition tagged ‘Faaji Experience’ as an event that will not just pay homage to Ibadan, a town that embodies the spirit of Faaji but also get residents out of their comfort zones and into their Owambe mood as they dance to their heart’s content in a night filled with music and comedy.

“I mean I’ve taken my Ibadan next to the world, and they’ve bought it well. From Nigerian Breweries Star Music Trek to Maltina Dance Hall, to the rest of what is different games and all. I mean what I believe is that Ibadan is that training ground for you to be able to match up with anyone else in the world. Just keep your cap on, walk head on”.
Giving his take on the skit makers versus comedians dynamic now sweeping the country, Lafup said,
“First and foremost is, everybody is a comedian, the thing now is the genre of comedy where you are or where you probably classify yourself. But then don’t forget that things have changed you know, we are in the new normal and I really cannot wait for the after new normal. You know because the dynamics is getting so… “And I tell comedians who are crazy or not so… See, there is enough space for everybody, it is the same wave that informed stand-up comedy from being more relevant than your traditional theatre,.
“The space for the skit comedians is not stage. It’s mediation and without their gadgets, they cannot really be themselves and they’ve been defined it. So, God bless whoever is able to switch them from screen then to stage, also for the comedian who is able to switch from stage then to screen”.
