Bright Okpocha, popularly known as Basketmouth, an experienced Nigerian comedian and film actor, has revealed when he intends to retire from comedy.
The comedian announced that he would be leaving the industry in five years.

His announcement comes just days after his colleague Ayo Makun called him out on an altercation they had years ago.

Basketmouth revealed in an interview with Hitz FM that he had been floating in the industry for the past six years before returning to comedy last year.

The actor stated that he has enough money from the industry to last him a lifetime, but he wants to broaden his horizons beyond comedy.

His words, “For the past six years I have just been floating, last year I told myself and my team, you know what I am going back to comedy I want to do five years and I am quitting. I am quitting in 5 years.

“I have got five years to go to do this and I am done. I will still be cracking jokes but it wouldn’t be a professional thing. So if you see me doing any gig, it is maybe I am doing pro bono but i will not charge anybody to perform again.
