Can you please tell us about yourself?

My name is AJEBO. I’m a comedian of the federal republic of Nigeria. My real name is Erem Emeka Nehemiah, born to a family of six. I attended Christian Heritage Academy in Surulere, Lagos, did junior and senior secondary school at Del international College and Nigerian Navy Secondary School respectively. I graduated from the department of Mass Communication, University of Nigeria, Nsukka.

How did you find yourself in the comedy business?

I started comedy in Senior Secondary (at the Nigerian Navy Secondary School, Abeokuta). I continued in UNN where I developed love for radio while on campus. I started my radio show in 2007 on Lion FM (the official radio station of the University of Nigeria Nsukka), but comedy started paying off in 2008. I did something with NTA Enugu. In 2009, I won the AY open mic challenge. Later I was called by Rhythm Awka where I was on the Friday morning show for a few months. Then I graduated in 2010. AY made me editor of the AY magazine and a presenter on the AY shows. I appeared on almost all AY live concerts since then and that shot me into limelight. I graduated in 2010 and NaijaFM hired me in August 2011. I have been an OAP since then on first of Nigeria’s best grassroots radio stations “NaijaFM” sister station of beat FM and Classic FM. It’s been a lovely experience. My passion is my career and it gives me open doors everywhere I enter.

What other businesses are you in?

Right now, I own my clothing line Ajebo Clothing. I’m also starting a comedy blog soon. It’s going to be all about humor.

Nollywoodgossip wishes you the best.

Thank you so much.
