calabargistblog.com.ng in celebrating Sabinus at 28, reached out to one of his childhood friends, Zephyr who had nothing but great things to say about him and even shared a story of how Mr Funny once fought him when they were almost duped by a show promoter.
Zephyr said:
“Sabinus is an amazing person, who never forgot his roots and those he grew up with.”
With such comments from a hypeman, it is no surprise to see comics like Twizzy speak highly of him.
See Twizzy’s post celebrating Sabinus on his birthday below:
Almost every major skit maker in the skit industry has one time or another featured Sabinus in their content.
2. A proper comedian
Sabinus is one of the few Nigerian skit makers who are considered proper comedians. He can hold his own, be it in front of a camera or on a stage.
Oga Funny is also in the league of skit makers who do not denigrate or objectify women in their act; one would rarely see a half-naked lady on any of Sabinus’ skits, yet one be served premium laughter.
This particular trait endears him to the old, young, and persons with high moral values.
3. Facial Expression
Mr Funny is probably the most facially expressive comic in Nigeria. His facial expressions always give him an edge.
Sometimes he doesn’t much, but his expressions knock the hat off his fans. Sabinus can be crowned the king of facial comedy.
4. Hard work and consistency
Sabinus has stayed consistent since he got his big break in 2022. It is on record that Sabinus produced over 100 short comic skit videos, which is deemed an astonishing feat.
According to Dateleum, Sabinus is the second most-watched skit maker on Instagram with over 169.6m views, second only to Broda Shaggi.
He topped the chart in Q1, Q2 and Q3, only to witness a dip in Q4. However, when it comes to views across YouTube, Facebook Twitter and Instagram, he is still number one in Nigeria.
5. Controversy free
Despite being a young man and susceptible to mistakes and the allure of wealth, he has somehow been able to stay controversy-free.
Since he got his big break, there are very few times Sabinus was called out. One was during the Oko show controversy, where he was accused of collecting money and not showing up.
He, however, cleared the air by explaining that he was sick and was willing to make a refund. There was also his scuffle with Friesland Peak milk for using his trademark statement “Sometin hooge”.
Comedian Sabinus splashes millions on new mansion, customised swimming pool wows fans

The socialite’s fans gushed over impressive photos of the property, which had a swimming pool customized with the comedian’s stage name, Sabinus.
