But for a stroke of luck which saw the establishment of a university in Julius Agwu’s hometown, the ‘Crack Ya Ribs’ comedian may never have gone to school or even been able to speak English.
Speaking exclusively to Pulse, Julius revealed that the establishment of UNIPORT in his hometown played a role in him attending school and also his eventual choice of Theatre Arts as a course of study in the university.
“I grew up in Choba which was a village but is very much a town now. It is where UNIPORT is located” he revealed.
“Thank God the school was in my village if not I won’t have gone to school. I was a village boy to the core, I would wake up in the morning, go to the farm and then go for catechism classes as well. I used to scale the fence into the campus to play with the lecturer’s children, that’s where I acquired socialisation skills.”
