Nigerian comedy sensation and digital content powerhouse, Emmanuel Chukwuemeka Ejekwu, popularly known as Sabinus or Mr. Funny, has once again captured the hearts—and funny bones—of his audience with a new viral comedy skit. This time, the celebrated comedian takes fans on a comedic journey titled “Sabinus Gets a Job,” sparking a frenzy of reactions across social media.
Sharing the video on his official Facebook page, Sabinus captioned the post with characteristic humor and a touch of mock triumph:
“Finally! Sabinus don get job 🙌😂”
The skit follows the well-loved character Sabinus—recognized by his unmistakable blue shirt, rubber slippers, and eternal optimism—as he proudly announces his first “official” job after years of comic unemployment. True to form, chaos ensues. Within minutes of clocking in, Sabinus finds himself caught between unrealistic expectations, hilarious misunderstandings, and his trademark poor decision-making that ultimately leads to a complete meltdown in the workplace.
Despite the fictional nature of the skit, fans couldn’t help but shower him with playful congratulatory messages, as the line between satire and reality is often blurred in Sabinus’s storytelling style. Within hours, the comment section exploded with over 50,000 reactions and thousands of shares, with fans praising his creativity and jokingly asking what position he was hired for.
“CEO of Wahala Enterprises,” one fan joked.
“We need HR to review this employment immediately,” another wrote.
A Career Still on the Rise
Though the video’s premise is rooted in satire, many observers see it as a playful nod to Sabinus’s ever-evolving brand. With multiple endorsement deals, live show appearances, and content viewed by millions, Sabinus hardly needs a job—he’s built a comedic empire.
Since bursting onto the Nigerian entertainment scene, Sabinus has become a staple in skit comedy, often portraying the quintessential “unlucky hustler” who talks big but falls even harder. His character’s exaggerated confidence and unfiltered responses to everyday situations have endeared him to a broad fanbase both in Nigeria and across the African diaspora.
He has also been recognized with several accolades, including the AMVCA for Best Online Social Content Creator and Gage Award for Best Online Comedian, solidifying his place as a leading figure in Africa’s fast-growing digital entertainment industry.
The Bigger Picture
The new skit comes at a time when Nigerian content creators are increasingly using humor as a lens to examine social issues—from unemployment to economic hardship—all while engaging audiences with relatability and wit.
By playing out a fictional employment scenario, Sabinus touches subtly on the challenges faced by millions of young Nigerians navigating joblessness, poor working conditions, and unrealistic expectations in the labor market—all packaged in lighthearted, accessible comedy.
