Bob Okala admits that though there are a number of comedians in the country, none surpasses his prowess.
The popular comedian first explained that there are 'jokers' in the country like Santo, of blessed memory, and Judas who make people laugh in movie conversations but cannot excite a live audience, something, only talented people like him can do.
