Popular Nigerian comedians and skit makers Nasboi and TheCuteAbiola have once again captured the nation’s attention after teaming up to recreate the now viral video of former Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike interacting with a Nigerian soldier.
The original clip, which made rounds on social media earlier this week, showed Wike in a lighthearted exchange with a soldier at a public event, blending authority with humor in a way only Wike can. The moment quickly became meme material across X (formerly Twitter), TikTok, and Instagram prompting Nigeria’s top comedy talents to jump on the trend.
Nasboi, known for his sharp satire and uncanny impersonations of celebrities and politicians, joined forces with TheCuteAbiola, a former naval officer turned skit maker famous for his military themed comedy. Together, they delivered a hilarious reenactment that has fans and fellow entertainers praising their timing and creativity.
In the skit, Nasboi took on the role of Wike, complete with the politician’s trademark swagger and Port Harcourt accent, while TheCuteAbiola played the disciplined yet amused soldier. The duo’s performance brilliantly mirrored the viral clip’s energy blending political parody, slapstick humor, and sharp social commentary.
The video, posted on their social media pages, quickly amassed over a million views within hours, with fans flooding the comment sections with laughter and praise.
“Only Nasboi and Cute Abiola can pull this off so perfectly,” one Instagram user wrote. Another fan commented, “You people will not kill us with laughter! Even Wike will laugh at this one.”
Industry watchers say the collaboration highlights how Nigerian skit makers continue to shape pop culture by turning viral moments into smart, relatable entertainment.
Neither Nasboi nor TheCuteAbiola has commented officially on whether Wike himself has seen the parody, but social media users are already tagging the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) under the post, urging him to react.
As of press time, the clip remains one of the top-trending videos on Nigerian social media a testament to the comedians’ mastery of timing, cultural awareness, and humor.
