Nigerian comedian and actor Chibunna Stanley, popularly known as Funnybone, has explained why he chooses to keep his wife and children away from social media.
Speaking during a recent episode of The Moraya Show, the comedian said he deliberately avoids showcasing his family online because he values his privacy and prefers to keep his personal life out of the public eye.
The host asked: “Are you married?”
Funnybone replied: “Yes, I am married with two kids.”
The host asked: “But you don’t put them out there as much as we would love for you to do as a celebrity. Why?”
Funnybone replied: “In a world where people are just there to look at what is not looking at them, it is safer for you to keep your personal life private.
“Outside and on the stage, I am Funnybone, but at home, I am Chibunna.”
On where he sees the Nigerian comedy industry in the next 10 years, Funnybone said, “We are hoping to export our crafts to the world, globally.
“And for that to happen, the ecosystem needs to change. So we need to change our approach to the production, packaging and marketing of comedy in Nigeria.”
