“My activism and comedy style to address societal ills, people listen to us, get the message, but this our ‘dorime’ generation they are more interested in ‘yansh’ and sexuality. That is why you see most content creators dey to put a little bit of sexuality in the skits so they can have views. My brother, if you don’t have views, hunger go beat you, na money everybody dey find.

“Some of the ills, particularly is prostitution, illegal migration, undocumented travelling, cultism and the rest,” said OfficialMCCasino.

The stand-up comic act, who began his career since his days in the university disclosed that he had once produced a short film to discourage people from engaging in cultism which is a major social problem in the country.

“I’ve actually done a full-short movie before. The short movie is titled ‘Okwemose’. It was a movie that I did to discourage people from cult-related killings and also letting them know the dangerous effect and negative effect in the society. So I think we are doing a lot in that direction,” MC Casino revealed.
