One of the veterans in the business of making people laugh is Ali Baba. He has anchored several functions spreading over different sectors, including events having heavyweights in the Nigerian politics in attendance.

Ali Baba also commands respect among other comedians, who mostly have passed through him to fame and fortune.

The comedian has also been showing his activism side, stating his views on issues happening in the country.

Nigeria, despite being regarded as one of the biggest economies in Africa, still has her citizens wallowing in poverty and the comedian is not happy about this. He also blamed Nigerian leaders for not truly building the country's economy to make the Top 10 Most Tourism Economies.

He said, "With all the resources, land, water, people, natural privileges, it is a huge shame not to be on this list! Thanks to crude oil and stupid leaders! All share syndrome of the oil share has killed our economy and development in all sectors. Politics is the only vibrant sector.

"Thieves! And when the stakeholders have golden opportunities to ask vital questions that will grow the sector, they will be lapping up handouts and avoiding the vitals. It is so annoying. How dollar go come down?"
