Spring Day, an American comedian brushing up on her Japanese skills interviews people from all walks of life about their experience living, working, traveling, studying and loving in a second language—often in adult language so this podcast may not always be appropriate for young ears.

Today’s guest is Nigerian comedian in the UK Benjamin Bello. You may know him better as his onstage persona President Obonjo.

We talk about Pidgin English, Yoruba, Hausa, Igbo and what language he speaks more in the UK than he ever did in Nigeria (Hint— it's not English) We also discuss how growing up in Nigeria and going to school in the UK gave him his start in comedy.

Presiden Obonjo is a joy to watch.

Please check him out and follow him on social media
