Known for her child-like comic antics, Helen Paul has become one of the few top female comedians in Nigeria.

Read excerpts below….

How she met her husband

“I met him through my boss where I was formerly working, he was a friend to my boss. While he always saw me as too playful and jumpy, I saw him as too stingy,”

“Those days when my boss’ colleagues came visiting, they always reached out to us when leaving. They gave us money which we used to buy doughnuts and soft drinks but my husband never gave us anything. He would just wave his hand and say ‘bye bye guys, take care of yourselves, so we always saw him as a selfish lawyer.”

On how they started their relationship

“On that fateful day, I summoned courage and as he was leaving, I told him, ‘sir, you don’t buy us anything any time you come but we really like you. If you can be buying us doughnuts and soft drinks, we would be very grateful’. He started laughing, so I quickly added, ‘sir, it’s not only me o. My colleagues are also involved, so please don’t tell our boss’.

“We were so happy I asked for his phone number which he gave me. And then I gave his number to my friends and we all started calling to thank him. He realised that we really desired the doughnuts and soft drinks so whenever he came by, he would give us money for doughnuts and soft drinks. He never failed to deliver whenever he showed up and we never stopped thanking him. And then one day, he took a good look at me and said ‘baby, I love you’ and the rest is history.”

On what she would do if given a second chance at marriage

“I would have loved to give birth to triplets instead of having to visit the labour room thrice. If I was doing triplets, I would have nine kids by now. I love children so much.”

So are there more children to come

“I really don’t know o,” because my body is still very soft.”
