Some people want Naija comedians to stop using God's name to entertain their crowd. They think they are being disrespectful and making a mess of His name in the name of comedy by telling 'God, Jesus' jokes.
For example, a Naija comedian made a joke recently. He said - after Peter cut off someone's ear, Jesus Christ fixed it back then Peter said - baba J, abeg make we take am dey do businees naa. Then baba J say make peter dey cut ears, them go dey collect N50.00 to fix each ear back, then baba J come tell God make He send power...blah, blah, blah...something to that effect.
What do you think? Should comedians stop using God's name in their jokes or it's no biggie?
Pls share your thoughts

why does this guy cover his mic with white handkerchief..is that juju thing to make people like him or wat.
ReplyDeletethe problem with comedians is that they think EVERY joke is funny. i mean the example you gave first of all is not even funny and a lot of Christians will definitely find it off-putting. they can never try that nonsense with muslims. that comedian will probably be dead the next day. so no, it is not OK to trivialize scriptures and make it into a tasteless joke. let them go out more. why ali baba became so popular was his ability to make clean, non-offensive jokes. they ought to know where to draw the line
ReplyDeletepeople need to calm the hell down, goodness! if it offends you, don't listen abi!
ReplyDeletehiss! the problem with Nigerians, there are other more relevant issues to complain about, abeg carry go

ReplyDeleteprobably the best scripture manipulation ever!
And jokes about people with speech deficiency (i.e. those that stammer) is sooooo not funny. But it seems to be another favourite of the comedians.
ReplyDeleteSomebody needs to enlighten them about disability and the stigma that comes with been or having a disability.
Certain things are and should be of limit.

ReplyDeletei particularly find comedians like "I go die very razz" and i would never go to their shows. their jokes are usually merely a mockery of the disabled or some other group of people or some tasteless scripture manipulation. they are making quite some money now so they're probably not bothering to develop themselves. christianity is an easy target. why don't they make a joke about muslims or mohammed as joohls said. the fact is that comedians are too lazy to think about really good jokes. all we get are recycled crap which they easily sell to their unthinking followers. those of you who actually find it funny need to get out more. it is poor quality comedy.
ReplyDeletewhat do u expect frm poor wretched street boys who never thought they would ever make it in life except thru dry and stupid jokes targetted at the disabled people in our society.i for one dont find their insensitiveness funny.well i dont blame them,that is how most of them were brought up.most of them never went to school which is why they tell their so called jokes in pidgen english.
ReplyDeleteEnitan & anon 5:23...e be like say something dey worry una. I'd like to see the look on your faces and how you'd feel if you heard 'I go die' using your papa name and surname take crack joke. It is NOT cool at all and definitely not funny. Abeg be realistic and true to yasefs. *side eye*...
ReplyDeleteNO, IT IS DISRESPECTFUL TO GOD & IT IS NOT FUNNY!!!
ReplyDeleteI think Myne said it best!
ReplyDeleteall these freaks that call themselves BORN AGAIN CHRISTIANS.
ReplyDeleteYES, it is OK. for God's sakes, our constitution gives us the right to FREEDOM OF SPEECH/EXPRESSION. which means that we can say whatever the hell we want.
if these "Christians" don't like it then they should not listen to it after all isn't it the same bible that said that IF ANY PART OF YOUR BODY CAUSES YOU TO SIN, YOU SHOULD CUT IT OFF? so if they don't like it, they shouldn't listen.
this country isn't a religious state. so anybody can do or say whatever they want. even if its bad...that is why we have the law.
if you go against it, then you'd reap the consequences.
simple.
by the way that joke isn't funny at all.
na waohhhh o
