Comedian, Teju Babyface discusses how he will get Obasanjo on his show

Teju Babyface Show is developed by Teju Babyface. The show has had on parade some of the biggest names within and outside showbiz, the latest being former president Olusegun Obasanjo.

In a chat with City People, Teju babyface stated that God’s grace has been instrumental in him being able to associate and connect with these great achievers since according to him, Nigerians were not receptive to his kind of comedy – corporate comedy without the use of pidgin.

“You have to find your area and you have to stick to it, no matter how difficult it gets. In a short while from now, you’re going to see former President Obasanjo on the show,” Teju tells City People.

“We went to Abeokuta to interview him, so let me use that as a case study. I was just sitting on my own, minding my business one evening when somebody called and said wouldn’t you like to speak to president Obasanjo? I was like, ah! Wouldn’t I like ke?

“I would sell two of my staff for the opportunity. And the person said take this person’s number, he’s close to Baba. I called the person and he said just come to Abeokuta on a date we agreed on and he said just bring your equipment just in case. And that’s how I quickly coupled equipment together and headed to Abeokuta.

“In fact, the proof that I didn’t even fully believe in it was that I didn’t bother to call my sound guy, so when you watch that episode you will see that we had to subtitle because the sound wasn’t the best. Not that you can’t hear him, but it wasn’t the best.

“But that’s how much I didn’t believe it would happen. We got there, and within an hour we had interviewed Baba and we were out of the place. So, it’s grace.

“Now, when you find your place, you find grace and favour. Of course, the fact that you’ve found grace and favour doesn’t mean it won’t be difficult. It will be difficult but you just have to keep on keeping on.”
