Here is us introducing to you a comedian of dexterous ability, if you look at him you will see that comedy has a grand look. Join us as we get to know more about Grand Komanda in this exclusive interview
Q - Tell me about yourself, where do you come from? what kind of family did you grow up in and why did you decide to be a comedian?
A - My
name is Michael Ofili Chijindu I'm from Asaba in delta state. My dad was a
biology teacher and my mum a nurse and obviously were civil servants. I was
born in kazaure kano state and grew up in lagos. I graduated from Abia State University with a Bachelor Degree in
french . I actually had a tough
childhood because my mum and dad had six children and in addition to
that we had several cousins live with us from time to time so there were times
when we where numbering up to 12 in the same house. Of course back then daddy
was earning only #2,500 u can imagine. It's now that I realize why the man used
to beat the hell out of us its not like he hated us just that he was looking for
a way to let out his frustration and so we unknowingly presented ourselves as
specimen. LOL.
I always had a flair for the arts coupled with the fact that
I come from a very hilarious family. My dad my uncles and aunts are
exceptionally funny people. So for me comedy just came naturally.
Q - I have
learnt that a Rabbi should open with a joke before teaching a lesson reason
been because it opens up the senses and makes it easier for one to learn
something that can deeply affect them. That said, what joke would you like to
tell?
A - I really wouldn't tell any joke now. I'd
simply say be on the lookout for me at my very next event and be guaranteed a
good laugh.
Q - .How long have you been in this profession?
A - I
started out in university trying my hands on stage and all and this dates back
to 2006 but professionally I started in 2009 owing to the fact that I started
charging fees to come crack jokes and handle events. So its 6 years and
counting.
Q - What comes to your mind, when asked the
relationship between comedy, depression and suffering?
A- Wow.
Comedy as I see it offers relief to depressed persons however suffering is a
different ball game entirely oooo. But every human being deserves to be happy
and laugh because the benefits can't be over emphasized.
Q- what makes
you unique and different from other comedians?
A- I'd be silent on this one oooo. Because
that's my trade secret. And if I open am here. My sister gbege go dey.
Lol. I think it's just my ability to pay
attention to detail and make the best use of every platform I'm given.
Q- how do you deal with hecklers?
A- I run
that's all. Run as fast as I can. No looking back no negotiations just run.LOL
Oy- you are not serious
Grand Komanda- trust me , I am. I remember I told a joke
once and upon getting to the punchline the whole hall went dead silent. I think
the people had issues that were bigger than my joke so they should have
contacted a pastor or doctor. Lol.
Q- In 2013, some blogs informed us that you were off
the market, can you give us insight on how the wedding preparation is going and
when we should be expecting the union to take place?
A -
Hahahahaha. Well you heard well then. Simply put I was off the market
then. However plans are still ongoing to meet the right woman and commence the
wedding plans proper. You guys will hear when the date is fixed.
A - I
have lots of friends in the industry everyone is my friend everyone is my
colleague.
Q- Are you solely into comedy or is there more to what
you do?
A - I'm
solely into comedy for now. Tho there are plans of diversifying and starting up
other means of income. But with my comedy profession I do both Standup Comedy
mc and I just launched a series of short comedy movies called KOMANDA MOVIES.
It's been in the making for a me time. It's something that I hope to put out
there for people to laugh and relax. So one movie will be released every 2
months. To watch the short movies you can search for grand komanda on youtube
