Bright Okpocha (A.K.A. Basketmouth)

-

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 ropes 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 out he moved on from organizing event and a few other things till he found his road in comedy. Basketmouth never stopped trying to succeed, and his story tells me to push to always keep trying. I DARE YOU 2 BE

Fraternities encouraged in our higher institutions are suppose to promote active intellectualism with demand for a lifetime of sacrifice for the sake of humanity. cultism and violence The term cultism which is mostly used in our institutions seems to have sadly lost their founders ways derailing from a Benigan cult (i.e. the good guys) to a destructive cult (i.e. the bad guys).
