Popular Nigerian stand-up comedian, actor and content creator, Prince Ifeanyichukwu Ogbonnaya, professionally known as M.O.P, is set to thrill comedy lovers with the fourth edition of his annual comedy special titled "M.O.P: Son of Patience."


The highly anticipated event is scheduled to hold in September at the prestigious Shell Hall, MUSON Centre, Onikan, Lagos Island, with tickets already selling fast. 


Organisers have promised an unforgettable evening of premium entertainment featuring top-quality stand-up comedy, electrifying dance performances and live musical acts by some of Nigeria's favourite entertainers.


Born in Abia State and raised in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, M.O.P has steadily carved a niche for himself as one of Nigeria's most original comedians. 


After graduating from Imo State University in 2012 and completing the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) in Edo State in 2015, he relocated to Lagos in 2017 to pursue his comedy career on a larger stage.


Known for drawing inspiration from everyday experiences and social happenings, M.O.P has built a reputation for delivering relatable, witty and original jokes that resonate with audiences across different backgrounds.


His annual comedy concert has evolved into one of the anticipated comedy events among his growing fan base. The maiden edition, "M.O.P: Next of Kin," debuted in 2022 before he returned to Port Harcourt for the second edition, "Next of Kin: Like Father Like Son." He later hosted "Slip of Tongue" in Lagos, while "Laugh In Stock" held in 2025 at Terra Kulture, attracting impressive attendance and positive reviews.


This year's "Son of Patience" edition marks another milestone in the comedian's career and is expected to raise the bar with a richer entertainment experience and a larger audience at the MUSON Centre.


Over the years, M.O.P has performed on virtually every major comedy platform in Nigeria, sharing stages with some of the country's biggest names in comedy and entertainment. 


His impressive performance portfolio includes AY Live, Acapella's My Mic and I, Bovi's Man on Fire, Basketmouth Live alongside Adekunle Gold, Julius Agwu's Crack Ya Ribs, Funnybone Untamed, Pencil Unbroken, Shakara and the Gang, Ajebo Unleashed, Night of a Thousand Laughs, and Akpororo vs Akpororo, among several others.


Beyond Nigeria, M.O.P has also showcased his talent internationally. He performed in the Republic of Benin alongside Akpororo in 2018, toured the United Kingdom with Edo Pikin in 2023, and returned to the UK in 2024 with Acapella for another successful comedy tour.


In addition to his live performances, M.O.P continues to entertain a global audience through his YouTube channel, "mopComedian," where he regularly publishes original comedy content, further strengthening his growing influence in the Nigerian entertainment industry.


This year's "M.O.P: Son of Patience" is expected to attract comedy enthusiasts from across the country for what promises to be an evening of laughter, music and unforgettable entertainment.

Dickson Urges Reconciliation in INC, Backs New President Igbadiwe


Former Bayelsa State Governor and Senator representing Bayelsa West, Henry Seriake Dickson, has called for lasting reconciliation within the Ijaw National Congress (INC), urging all Ijaw leaders to unite behind the newly elected leadership in the interest of the Ijaw Nation.


Dickson made the call after receiving the newly elected President of  INC, 

High Chief McDonald Ebi Igbadiwe, who paid him a courtesy visit over the weekend alongside members of his executive.


The former governor congratulated Igbadiwe and his team on their emergence, expressing confidence in their ability to provide purposeful leadership and wishing them a successful tenure in the service of the Ijaw people.


Commenting on the leadership transition in the apex socio-cultural organisation, Dickson acknowledged the disagreements that preceded the election but commended the Bayelsa State Government, Governor Douye Diri, Ijaw elders and other stakeholders for constituting a high-powered reconciliation committee to address the issues.


He expressed optimism that the committee's recommendations, which he said had been submitted, would be implemented promptly to restore unity, harmony and lasting peace within the INC.


Drawing from his experience in managing Ijaw affairs during his tenure as governor, Dickson described dialogue, harmonisation, sacrifice and unity as the only sustainable path to resolving internal disputes.


He warned against actions capable of creating division within the Ijaw Nation, stressing that no individual, regardless of status, should undermine the unity of the ethnic nationality or weaken the leadership role of the Bayelsa State Government in matters concerning the Ijaw people.


According to him, leaders and stakeholders should offer constructive advice to the governor in good faith rather than work against the state's leadership on issues affecting the collective interest of the Ijaw Nation.


Dickson stressed that the affairs of the Ijaw Nation transcend political affiliation, noting that politicians and leaders across party lines must always speak with one voice whenever the interests of the Ijaw people are at stake.


The senator reflected on his administration as governor, recalling that he formally popularised the identity of the "Ijaw Nation" and described Bayelsa as the "Jerusalem of the Ijaw Nation." He said his administration initiated policies and institutions aimed at preserving Ijaw identity, culture and heritage, including the establishment of the Ministry of Ijaw National Affairs, the Ijaw Heroes Memorial Park, the Ijaw National Academy, the Ijaw Language Project, the Ijaw History Project, the Izon-Ibe Microfinance Bank and the weekly Cultural Day in the state public service.


He also highlighted his efforts in mentoring Ijaw youths and women across the Niger Delta, promoting regional alliances and advancing the Ijaw cause through national advocacy.


Dickson disclosed that the need to sustain the Ijaw agenda influenced his decision in supporting the emergence of the current Bayelsa State Governor as his successor, describing the governor as a product of the Ijaw movement.


Expressing concern over recurring disagreements within the Ijaw leadership, the former governor said such divisions were capable of weakening both the Ijaw and wider Niger Delta struggle for equity and justice in Nigeria.


While acknowledging that every aspirant who contested the INC presidency possessed the capacity to lead the organisation, Dickson urged all contestants and stakeholders to put the election behind them and focus on addressing the broader challenges confronting the Ijaw Nation.


He reaffirmed his confidence in the new INC President, saying he had known Igbadiwe for many years and believed he possessed the capacity to lead effectively if given the necessary support and guidance.


Dickson concluded by wishing the new leadership success and praying for greater unity, progress and prosperity for the Ijaw Nation, the Niger Delta and Nigeria as a whole.

Receiving the leadership of the Nigerian Institute of Public Relations (NIPR) in Abuja today, Chairman of BON, Senior High Chief Tony Akiotu, said that the WPRF serves as a platform for Nigeria to craft its own narrative that will boost the nation's reputation capital. 


"The NIPR has done Nigeria and indeed, Africa a lot of good by attracting the hosting right for the 2026 WPRF to this country. It is left for us as a people to see it as our collective project, an opportunity to present the true image of Nigeria to the rest of the world. We now have opportunity to correct the false narratives being portrayed about Nigeria - narratives that do not represent us. We can now utilise WPRF as a great platform to tell our story. I am calling on the Federal Government to accept the responsibility that this has thrown up and set up an Inter-ministerial Committee that will support the planning and execution of this national project", he stated. 


According to Chief Akiotu, this Committee when set up will put necessary measures in place to tell the world that Nigeria is a safe haven to invest, live and do business, stressing that such opportunity should not be taken for granted.
