Comedian AY Makun opened up on how renowned actor Richard Mofe Damijo advised him to further his education.
According to him, he was working as a bartender when he met RMD, who recommended he return to school after hearing about his desire to enter the entertainment industry.
He said that he had to stop and enroll in a degree program at Delta State University after a prominent actor advised him to do so.
The comedian stated this during an open discussion with Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo. He stated that this decision ultimately led to his great comedy career.
He said:“I was doing all that it takes to get into the entertainment space. And somewhere along the line, I started working with NNPC Junior Staff Club as a bartender.
“That was what inspired my series, ‘Call To Bar.’ Everything around me; my stories, and my movies are all inspired by my experiences.
“When I was working as a bartender, I would see a lot of people the likes of Alex O and Shina Peters coming to perform. I would say to myself that someday, somehow, somewhere, sometime in life, I’m going to get into the entertainment space.
So, there was one time that I approached RMD when he came, a long time ago. We were talking and he advised me to go back to school. He said, ‘Education is important. Afterward, trust me, all these things would follow.’
“So, that was how I gained admission into Delta State University to study Theatre Arts.”
Ace producer and music executive Don Jazzy has claimed that his former signee, Wande Coal, has the best vocals in the Nigerian music industry.
The Mavin boss made the claim during an interactive session with fans on X on Wednesday.
A fan had praised Don Jazzy, saying he has the best and most unique voice in the Nigerian music industry. However, in his response, Don Jazzy said that while he agrees he has the most unique voice, Wande Coal has the best.
He wrote, “Most unique I agree, best na Wande [Coal].”
Wande Coal is widely regarded as one of the finest Afrobeats vocalists, with several artists such as Wizkid, Fireboy DML, and Oxlade admitting that he inspired them.

The five-track project is now available on all major streaming platforms, marking a significant milestone in the young artist’s career.
Tife, whose stage name is Champz, recently teased his debut single on social media, sparking excitement across the music scene.
The short clip showcased his confident rap verse and maturity beyond his years, with fans and critics alike praising his flow and delivery.
One of the standout lines from the teaser, “Shout-out to the OGs in the game, but it’s time to pass on the baton,” has drawn attention for its bold message.
