    I think she has been a comedian all along. Born into an intellectual family, they did not know what to do with it. Can you imagine her in court?

    This is my type of humor! I'm the type who doesn't laugh at anything, has to be genuinely funny, and she literally made me laugh out loud here in my room with my roommates prob wondering wtf! Gonna watch this again now! Love it thank you!! Wish more Americans had this humor, it's the kind where there's a lot of self deprecation but it is filled with compassion. Brilliant and quirky in a way I can totally relate!!

    chi gurl is an inspiration to others.....she is a perfect example that God put a unique talent in everyone waiting for it to be discovered....u might feel u are a waste becos of all the failures in ur life....But look at her....she rose above all her circumstances and became an inspiration to others... Nigerian should learn from this... 'Education is just the bedrock but ur talent is what Elevates you"

    There are just about a million things one can do to become successful, and apparently Chigul made good use of one of them.....creating an alta ego. Can't really categorize this under comedy but I must say she has made herself useful with something different in it's own category. And that's just nice.
