I squatted with a squatter-Bovi

Star comedian Bovi has revealed his journey to the top wasn't a bed of roses..During a recent interview on my  #MySuperStarStory ,he mentioned that upon moving to Lagos, he squatted with an uncle who himself was squatting with a colleague.

On an experience which moved him to tears,he spoke of a time when was billed to perform at a big comedy show in 2008, but upon getting to the venue he was told that he was not on the bill and he was not allowed to perform despite begging.

On how he achieved his level of success, he said the key was never giving up
“One thing people fail to realise is that they can achieve fame from their passion. It doesn’t have to be entertainment. I was tenacious, I was steadfast, I was hopeful and I was focused and I think that is what they need.”
