Bright Okpocha, popularly known as Basketmouth, is unarguably one of the most talented and sought-after comedians in Nigeria and indeed Africa.
The comedian, who was recently unveiled as a Malta Guinness Ambassador, took to Instagram to express his gratitude to God and the individuals that assisted the development of his career thus far.
In the inspiring message chronicling his grass-to-grace story, he stated: “I really was just that boy down the road with nothing more than a big dream and a bigger God…turns out that’s all anyone really needs.
He raised men to favour me, gave me talent that is making way for me and bringing me before kings.
When I look back, I can’t tell how I got here but the one thing I know is that every single person that has bought a cd with my face on the cover, attended my concert, cheered me on, liked my post, clicked the ‘follow’ button, laughed at my jokes, taken a selfie, said ‘hello’ on the streets, waved from a distance, criticised me constructively, told me the truth, loved me….every single one of you.
I wish I knew every name or could remember every face, but in my heart, that’s where you live. You made me, and I’m sincerely grateful.
To every brand that I represent, it’s an honour. I’m proud to be by your side, this is only just the beginning because that boy down the road, he’s still the same guy…still armed with a big dream, and an even bigger God.”
