Nigerian comedian and OAP, Justice Nuagbe popularly known as Ushbebe in a recent interview, has showered praises on fellow comedian and mentor, Ayo Makun popularly known as AY.

In his words, AY is the most hardworking entertainer in Nigeria as a result of his great disposition and zeal for what he does. Ushbebe told Daily Sun that AY influenced him as they had been working together since their university days.

He also added that he has learnt a lot of things from the ace comedian, part of which includes constantly striving to be the best.

He said,

“AY is my everything, he was my idol when I was in the university. I worked with him in school. When I was in my 100 Level he was in 300 level. I was selling tickets on campus for his shows and all of that.

AY is the most hardworking entertainer in Nigeria as far as I am concerned. That is what I know because I have lived with him and worked with him and one interesting thing is that he used to put me under so much pressure and I was complaining but now that I have people working for me, I am putting them under the same pressure in order to bring out the best in them.

The basic lesson I learnt from him is to always stay hard working and always strive to be the best; there should never be a time when I feel I have made it and stop working. Hard work has been central to my success.”
