    2. Well its good he apologised, but then if we were to screen all the 'insensitive jokes'(stammering, stuttering, physical deformity?, etc)' that all dese comedians crack, I guess der will be none left!

  15. So Akpororo you will do it again 'to crack up your audience?' Your so called apology does not show remorse or that you have learnt something about hurting others while you 'crack up.' Just pray that someone close to you does not become a victim and you have to learn the hard way. People, is no laughing matter o. Lives of daughters, sisters, wives even mothers are ruined, wasted.

  26. Yes,apologies are in order!this would serve as a deterrent to other comedians,there are things u just don't joke about,theres nothing funny about rape,absolutely nothing funny and as for the silly ladies on this blog @juliana opara@carina jacob@olamide ashafa and others with fish brains how dare u call it just a joke?have u no respect for urselves and ur womenfolk??women like u are the reason rape,domestic violence against women and other evil vices against women still thrive because u have refused to outrightly rebuke the offenders,shame on all of u!i just pray u,ur sisters,ur mothers or daughters or anything female around u never get raped,foolish women everywhere!tufiakwa

  50. Am tired of people apologizing whenever a joke is made about women. People say horrible things everyday about men and no one feels bad about it. Women are already empowered enough, they should start living in the real world!

    ReplyDelete
  51. It was a joke. People should not apologize for making jokes, else why call it a joke!

    ReplyDelete
  52. it's good to watch what we say.

    ReplyDelete
  53. great guy. apologies accepted

    ReplyDelete
  54. You have been forgiven wholeheartedly.....always loving you. If not for any other thing, your dance.
