The comedian disclosed this on his YouTube Channel, reflecting on what he initially believed was a strategic career move that quickly spiralled into a period of deep uncertainty and regret, caused by the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The comedian also illustrated his sense of disorientation by referencing the lyrics of Sunny Ade’s classic song ‘Esubiribiri Ebomi’.

“When we were leaving Nigeria, I knew without a shadow of doubt that it was the necessary next step in my career evolution and for us as a family, a unit. But when we got here and challenges started, especially when you consider that Covid-19 started a few months after we arrived, I was convinced that I had made the biggest mistake of my life,” he said.

“That I had shot myself in the foot, I had scored an own goal. As they say in the Yoruba movies, I had become the harbinger of my own misfortune. For the first time, I could understand what King Sunny Ade meant when he sang ‘Esubiribiri Ebomi’.

“Just a place of complete disorientation as to location and direction and I lived in that place for years. America has its own unique set of difficulties, when you add Covid to that, it was brutal. For about three years, I was convinced that I had made the biggest mistake of my life.”
