South African comedian, Trevor Noah has received some backlashes from Nigerians after he made a joke about Nigerians that import pizza from the UK.
Noah in his recent show mocked Nigerians who import pizza from London, which was brought to light by a Nigerian minister.
The comedian queries why rich Nigerians will fly past Italy(Home of pizza) to order pizza from London.
This was in reaction to a statement by Minister of Agriculture, Audu Ogbeh who revealed while defending his ministry’s budget at the senate a few weeks ago — Ogbeh had said that there are some Nigerians who order pizza from London in the morning then pick it up in the evening via British Airways.

Some Nigerians that have defended the comedian
You, people, are vexing for Trevor Noah. You should hear what he says about South African leaders. Get a grip. It's a joke.

Why do you people only remember Trevor Noah isn't funny when Nigeria is the butt of his jokes?
You sef, think about it. Think. Think.
Is Audu Ogbeh's claims that Nigerians are importing British pizza via BA not premium comedy material?
Lols please!
