In a recent TikTok live stream, Sabinus stated that his marriage, which took place in 2023, ended peacefully and amicably.

He emphasised that he and his ex-wife remain on good terms, prioritising their daughter’s well-being.

The comedian denied circulating rumours of marital issues, including allegations of domestic violence and infidelity, saying, “I’m not married. My marriage ended peacefully. The mum and I are good. My daughter is okay, and she is doing fine.”

Comedian Emmanuel Ejekwu, popularly known as Sabinus, has opened up about how his father initially opposed his decision to pursue a career in comedy.

Speaking in an interview with VJ Adams, Sabinus said his father wanted him to become a lawyer. 

He said after he was unable to secure admission to study law, he went on to study Linguistics and Communication Studies at the University of Port Harcourt.

He revealed that it was during his university days that he discovered his talent for comedy and began creating skits.

According to him, his father was furious when he found out, insisting that comedy was a “stupid business.”

Sabinus said, “At first, my dad never wanted me to be what I am today, he wanted me to be a lawyer. I tried my best but I couldn’t secure a law admission. So, I had to settle for Linguistics and Communication Studies at Uniport.

“It was on the campus that I saw skit making and I decided to try it out. Money wasn’t coming.

“After I graduated, my dad never knew I was a comedian because I was hiding it. It was one more year after school that he started seeing me on comedy show posters.

“My sisters confirmed to him that I was into comedy. He was very furious. He fumed, ‘Which comedy? Stupid business. Look at the boy I sent to become a lawyer.’”
