Bright Okpocha (Basketmouth) was born September 14, 1978 in Lagos, but hails from Abia State. He is a Nigerian comedian and one of my personal favorites, but Life was not as easy at the beginning and alot of the jokes he tells about his hard times growing up are actually true. Now here is a man who has seen it all from band group, church choir, stand-up shows, stage performances, acting, event management etc. You just name it. He worked his way to the very top. He is today accepted and appreciated as one of Nigerians best standup comedians, but he only got his big break when he met Ali Baba in 1999 ; but it was Tony Tetuila who shown him the r opes first. He completed his primary and secondary school education in Ajegunle-Apapa, Lagos State and then moved on to pursue a degree at the University Of Benin, UNIBEN where he studied sociology and anthropology. He formed a boy band with his brother and a few friend, believe it or not, he used to rap. but when that did not work

  The life story of Sylvester Stallone. ………………………..  Here it goes From nobody to Super Duper Star  This is one of the MOST MOTIVATIONAL life stories I have come across.  Sylvester Stallone is one the most famous American Movie stars.. With characters like Rocky and Rambo he is a household name in the hearts of millions. During birth, a wrong gynaecological procedure caused Stallone to have one sided paralysis.

Slowly he started thinking of a career in movies While struggling to get a role, he even started in a soft-core porn movie.  Around 1974, he had a pregnant wife, a dog that he loved a lot, a lot of bills to pay and no success in his movie career. What he still had was a belief in his dream that he will make it big. Soon a time came when he went broke. He was heavily unde
