Veteran Nigerian comedian Ali Baba has made a surprising and serious statement about what he has seen behind the scenes in the lives of wealthy and powerful people in Nigeria.
While speaking on a podcast called “Outside the Box,” Ali Baba said he has seen many married women having secret affairs with governors and other rich men. Some of these women are even the wives of his friends and people he knows.
Ali Baba explained one shocking moment he had at a governor’s house. He said:
“I’ve been in the homes of a lot of big men—like governors—and I see the wives of people I know doing things. I greet them politely, but I know what’s going on. Sometimes, the big men touch the women in a way that shows they’re having an affair, and then tell them to go back inside. Later, I meet the same woman at an event, and her husband introduces her to me like I’ve never met her before.”
He also said that the woman once called him later to thank him for not exposing her secret, and he told her, “It’s okay.”
This confession by Ali Baba has surprised many people and opened up a conversation about what happens among some powerful people in society. His story shows that not everything we see on the outside is what it seems and that even those who seem to have perfect families may be hiding secrets.
Ali Baba’s comments have made people think more about the importance of honesty and loyalty in marriage and the problems that come with power and money.
