Nigerian comedian, Emmanuel Chukwuemeka Ejekwu, also known as “Oga Sabinus” is ecstatic after securing an opportunity to open for Burna Boy in London.
For the YouTube content creator, this experience feels like a dream come true, significantly boosting his career and expanding his audience from Africa to overseas.
Taking to his Facebook page, Sabinus shared a once-in-a-lifetime experience of performing before a crowd of 80,000 people.
It was also his first time enjoying a private jet ride from Nigeria to London, and he vividly described the breathtaking experience that he will cherish and share with future generations.
“When Burna Boy called me to come perform at the London Stadium, I thought he was jokîng and I just lãughed. But I was shõcked when he called me 2 days to the show and said “My bro, pack your bags because a private jet is gonna pick you up tomorrow.” That was when I believed that he was actually serious so I ironed my favorite blue shirt and black trouser with my expensive shoe and packed a few things,” read the post.
Despite performing for only one minute, the experience has profoundly impacted Sabinus’s social sphere.
“Performing at the London stadium was the biggest 1-minute of my career !! Thanks Burna Boy. Burna Boy paid me $100k to perform for 1-minute and still paid for my flight to and from London,” said the comedian.
Contrary to his expectation that he would performed after, he was shocked that the Nigeria star had slotted him to perform first.
“When we got to London, I thought that maybe I was gonna perform at the after party but Burna Boy told me that I was gonna open the stage for him. When I came out before 80k people, I almost lõst conscîousness because I’ve never performed before such a huge audience. Burna Boy paid me handsomely. I will always be grateful to Burna Boy.” He said.
