July 18, (THEWILL) – Comedian cum actor, Chibunna Stanley, aka Funny Bone, has recalled how his senior colleague, Seyi Aletile, professionally known as Seyi Law, paved way for him in his entertainment industry.
He took to Instagram and penned a lengthy post where he recalled his grass to grace story and appreciated Seyi Law for helping him when he started out.
According to him, he took a break from comedy to focus on obtaining a degree and upon his return, Seyi Law offered him accommodation in his house.
The two met at ‘Night of a Thousand Laughs’ in Kaduna, where they bonded instantly.
Together, they rocked several shows and journeyed together. The two even got robbed on Apongbon bridge after their car broke down.
Expressing gratitude to him, the comedian hailed Seyi Law for being a real man.
“Me and this man have a history together. Too many stories to share, but I will start from somewhere.
“I took a break from mainstream comedy so I can obtain a degree. Upon my return after graduation, Seyi Law asked me to come over and stay at his place.
“We met at the ‘Night of a Thousand Laughs’ in Kaduna and bonded instantly. He had seen my previous performance on the show, but I was yet to watch him perform live. He wowed the audience during his performance and then, we started our comedy journey as friends.
“Moving to Lagos wasn’t the idea for me. I honestly wanted to remain in my zone (Kaduna, Jos, and Abuja). I mean I was already a household name in the north. But I needed to leave my comfort zone las las.
“Together Seyi and I rocked many shows for the money and the fun. Created the Black Jesus evergreen comedy skit. Seyi was always fully booked and we journeyed every weekend.
“From our car breaking down on the third mainland bridge at 2 am to us being robbed at Apongbon bridge, then to our media story.
“From Jones Street, Ebutte Metta to Ikorodu, Seyi shared his flat with open arms. Very accommodating and welcoming.
“I remember jumping the fence at NYSC camp, Ikare, Akoko Ondo State just to attend Seyi’s wedding.
“He got married and it was time to move on. I told the boys we need to give this guy space to raise a family. Seyi didn’t mind and never asked anybody to leave. But man had to move on and it’s been bliss ever since.
“God bless you brotherly. Na man you be.
“We don’t get to see often anymore because of our schedules, but na man you be Seyi.
“Una see this Klever Jay song? We play am taya for Seyi’s first motor.
“Honda legend wey get Peugeot engine”, he wrote.
