Why Sabinus Still Shoots His Comedy Skits in Port Harcourt Despite Living in Lagos

Nigerian comedian and content creator Emmanuel Chukwuemeka Ejekwu, popularly known as Sabinus, has explained why he continues to shoot most of his comedy skits in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, despite being based in Lagos. Sabinus disclosed this during a recent interview with media personality VJ Adams, explaining that his choice of location is closely connected to the storylines and style of comedy he creates. According to the comedian, he regularly travels from Lagos to Port Harcourt specifically for his skit productions before returning to Lagos to handle other activities and build professional connections. “All my comedy skits, I shoot them in Port Harcourt, but I base in Lagos even till now.” Sabinus said he has a specific schedule for travelling to Port Harcourt to film his content before returning to Lagos. He explained that the environment in Port Harcourt suits the type of stories he tells in his comedy. “My skit shoot goes down in Port Harcourt because of my kind of storyline.” The comedian's comments highlight the continued connection between his comedy and Port Harcourt, even though Lagos is currently his base. Sabinus has built a significant following through comedy skits centred on everyday Nigerian experiences, characters and situations, with Port Harcourt frequently serving as the setting for his productions.
