Popular Nigerian comedian and skitmaker Nasboi real name Lawal Michael Nasiru Bolaji has once again ignited social media with a hilariously relatable skit, this time taking a jab at Nigeria’s longstanding electricity challenges. The video, which features Nasboi’s trademark high-pitched alter ego “Low Budget OBO,” hilariously chronicles the chaos that ensues when a noisy generator ruins a romantic moment.
Set in a typical Nigerian neighborhood plagued by erratic power supply, the skit shows Nasboi trying to impress a love interest during a candlelit dinner. Just as the mood begins to build, the deafening roar of a neighbor’s generator shatters the atmosphere. The punchline? Nasboi’s now-viral exclamation:
“Na Generator o!”
Following the skit’s release, Nasboi took to his Facebook page to share the video with a caption that struck the perfect balance between humor and social commentary:
“You wan do soft life for Nigeria? Better get ready for generator wahala. Even love no dey safe again. Na Generator o! 😂😂💔 #NoLightNoPeace”
The post instantly resonated with fans across the country, racking up thousands of reactions and comments within hours. Many users praised the skit not only for its comedic value but also for shining a spotlight—albeit humorously—on Nigeria’s persistent power problems.
“Only Nasboi can make noise pollution look this funny,” one fan wrote. “But real talk, this gen issue dey tire person.”
Known for his blend of satire and absurdist humor, Nasboi has built a strong following by turning everyday Nigerian struggles—like bad roads, corrupt officials, and unreliable infrastructure—into viral comedy. With “Na Generator o,” he continues his tradition of making his audience laugh while holding up a mirror to society.
In a follow-up Facebook comment, Nasboi added:
“If NEPA gimme steady light for just one week, I go drop skits from morning till night. Until then, make una manage the gen noise with me.”
As Nigeria continues to battle national power shortages and dependence on fuel-powered generators, Nasboi’s skit serves as a humorous but all-too-real reminder of the lived experiences of millions.
Whether it’s social satire or pure slapstick, one thing is clear: Nasboi knows how to turn frustration into laughter—and fans can’t get enough.
