It was a night of laughter with comedy, performances and celebrity date bid, with Dj Obi on the decks.

Osas Ighodaro said, “The fight against malaria in Africa is so important to me not only because we lost my sister, Joy, who was with child to this deadly disease, but because there is still so much outreach and education to be done in 2019 and beyond.

"I am so grateful to all our partners who have helped the fourth edition of Laughfest be such a huge success.

"To everyone donating and supporting, you're helping children, women and communities living in extreme poverty fight this preventable disease.

"Your donation provides these children and their families with insecticide-treated mosquito nets, health care and education to prevent the disease. You are joining us to make a great impact and I’m so so thankful."
