EKO HOT BLOG reports that Emmanuel Chukwuemeka Ejekwu, widely known as Sabinus, a popular Nigerian comedian and content creator, has shed light on his choice to refrain from promoting nudity in his skits.
Speaking at the SMFest event held in Owerri, the capital of Imo State, Sabinus revealed that his primary objective is to produce family-oriented content, which influenced his decision to exclude explicit elements from his comedy sketches.
During the event, Sabinus disclosed that he has encountered situations where individuals expressed a willingness to participate in his comedy group, willing to go to any extent to deliver a humorous performance. However, the comedian firmly rejected such offers, opting instead to assign roles that align with his vision of creating content suitable for all members of the family.
Recalling a specific incident, Sabinus recounted a scenario where he was preparing to shoot a skit, and a female participant raised concerns about being expected to showcase nudity.
In response, Sabinus clarified his artistic preferences, emphasizing that while he appreciates the presence of attractive individuals in his skits, it is not necessary for them to reveal explicit body parts.
“I have been in situations where some people will be like, ‘Sabinus, I want to join your comedy [group], I can do anything.’ I will say no, please let me give you a role to do. I have also had a situation where I was about to shoot and a girl was like, ‘You expect me to tie wrapper?’ I said, “My sister, that is what I love. That is what suits the story.’
“Sometimes, you need a fine girl, but she mustn’t be showing bumbum and bobbies.”
Sabinus expressed his belief that storytelling and humor can be effectively conveyed without resorting to nudity or explicit content. By adhering to this approach, he aims to cater to a broader audience base, ensuring that his comedic creations can be enjoyed by viewers of all ages.
The decision to abstain from incorporating nudity in his skits demonstrates Sabinus’ commitment to maintaining a family-friendly brand. By setting such boundaries, he strives to foster an environment where individuals, irrespective of their age or background, can engage with his content comfortably.
As an influential figure within the Nigerian comedy scene, Sabinus’ dedication to creating comedy that aligns with his values contributes to a wider conversation regarding the portrayal of explicit content in entertainment media.
Through his decision, he encourages fellow creators and aspiring comedians to explore alternative avenues for humor that do not rely on explicit elements, while still entertaining and engaging their audiences effectively.
As Sabinus continues to produce content that resonates with viewers and elicits laughter without compromising on his principles, his stance serves as a reminder that comedy can be enjoyed by everyone, uniting audiences through shared amusement and relatable narratives.
