10 minutes with KOFFI by Edward Fortune.

This public holiday is definitely one of those holidays that would forever remain in my history books. Not because I was home relaxing or “flexing”, but simply because I was invited to come have launch with one of Nigeria’s finest and modest entertainer in the industry. His unique style of entertaining has put him in the top list of entertainers in Nigeria and without mincing words, he’s carved a niche for himself and a very strong force to reckon with. He gave us “Koffi Komedy Konvention in year 2004, Bursting loose in 2007,2008,2009 and 2010. He dint relax as he went ahead to stage Koffi Comedy Nite Live in October, November and December 2011. He’s also the brain behind other successful shows like: Koffi Comedy Combo,Koffi Valentine Live in Ibadan and Koffi Comedy blast. His success in the entertainment industry isn’t limited to just comedy alone as he also a member of a music group “WORKERMAN CLAN”. I was with him for just 10minutes because he had other things to do and for just 10minutes with Koffi Idowu Neul a.k.a. SPLUFIK, I was taken into another realm of revelation filled with intellectual content.
