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!!
Chioma - I am still grinning like a Cheshire cat 5 mins after watching. You my dear are one of life's golden people. You recognise and appreciate your self worth and value and just shine. Thank you for sharing your beautiful inner music.
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"
To learn that she jumped hurdles of failures ( I'm sure it wasn't funny then) and still made something off her creative talent today is impressive. Well done
Aunty Chioma worked with my dad in Nigeria Ecowas she was the funniest and the best when I see her on tv it always makes me smile and she is so funny God bless her and everyone .
Unfiltered African. Love the talk. Laughed so much. Clean humour right here. It's beautiful to see her being authentically herself. Regardless of where she is. Awesomeness.
lmaooooo. Chioma is hilarious. This serves us a lesson that we shouldn't plan our children's careers, but instead, allow them to do whatever they please, as long as they have the passion
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.
My cheeks hurt from smiling so much!! :) Her talents were hidden to all including herself but thankfully her parents were patient and supportive until she was able to discover them.
Omg she's amazing!!!!!! I watched it 3 times back to back to back and laughed just as hard as the first time if not harder!!! I enjoyed her and love her positive message. wow wow wow 😂😂😂 What an outstanding beautiful woman she is certainly not a waste lol God bless her.
Wow! This is real and rich! When what you do flows effortlessly... then, it's a pointer to your area of call. Indeed, Chioma had to fail and keep failing until Chi-girl was born. No doubt God was watching the "process of your becoming." He always does for everyone. Cheers to more discovery of gifts and success stories!
Hilarious yet so inspiring - the message is clear - don't be a waste. I am not going to be a waste.... Thank you Chioma - i would love to get in touch to feature you on some of our platforms - if you see this please holla. it is all about the market.
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?

Natalia Galaxy shut up.. Genuinely funny my ass..
thank you for your opinion but I really hope that you don't talk that way in "real life". Nice to meet the "only on the internets" Collins Nora
Pay no attention to him Natalia He is obviously a waste!
Can you both eat some shit? I just don't talk like that when i smell lies, i also beat when i smell anger.
Use the talents you have - whether small or big, change your market and don't be a waste! good watch.
Chigurl is just a gift to africa!!! She has showed everyone that the little things take you to places
to the world really.She's amazing
I get it... sometimes you may lag behind. look like a waste UNTIL you realize who you are. I am still on the Journey. Amen

When you see someone entirely in their element

Everybody has a calling in life.
Naija/Africa is just bursting with talent... Now to find my place
clean humor this is smart and inspiring
Aunty Chioma worked with my dad in Nigeria Ecowas she was the funniest and the best when I see her on tv it always makes me smile and she is so funny God bless her and everyone .
I love the way she expresses herself man! That is so fun to hear
Unfiltered African. Love the talk. Laughed so much. Clean humour right here. It's beautiful to see her being authentically herself. Regardless of where she is. Awesomeness.
Amazing! One of the best talks on Tedx! Incredible style and what confidence!
Nothing beats being original!
Crazyyyyy.... and inspiring

Chukwuma Njoku stand up comedy xD
people who dream while others are hustling really struck me.. even in all the humor i could pick that
omotola oloyede I have been dreaming for a long time... time to stay woke
@@chiezugolumodilinye9209 Pls stay awake
You can do better
OmG she's hilarious!! How comes I didn't know about her. Plus all the accents? Brilliant. I love her! Chioma you're a diamond doll. 👌👌👌
"I taught myself spanish, I speak french and spanish, I speak hausa, Igbo, pidgin and a bit of foneh...you know"
iDied there. LOL
Gabriel Okpo what's foneh
@@maameafia5912 it's accent. Like british accent / Spanish accent or American accent.
@@maameafia5912 phonetics
Is the foneh part for me😃😃😃😃
There is definitely a reason why we are all alive.🙌
We watched this today TEDx Enugu and we had a good laugh, 9yrs later still very amazing
She actually telling the truth.
That London accent got me shook 😭 better than mine!
Dani Gomes british*
Abdulqahhar Azeez Nope. London.
“People are hustling and you are dreaming, don’t be a waste” That hit hard on me because I’ve been dreaming, time to stop dreaming and start hustling
My cheeks hurt from smiling so much!! :)
Her talents were hidden to all including herself but thankfully her parents were patient and supportive until she was able to discover them.
I smiled through this entire video!! I loved this!

This chick is funny. I wonder if the non Nigerian folks in the audience understand her though.
+dooshy90 we do....
I do! hahaha I'm having her in repeat.
dooshy90 e blacks do bt e whites seem lost and coundnt relate.
yes!
dooshy90 well, white folks wouldn't change their accent. So they should try to understand her the way others try to for them.
she is a real comic relief ... a good remedy for a dull monday morning at the office.
This has got to be the most hilarious and relaxing TED talk I have watched😂😊 And Chioma delivered value nonetheless🎉
Applaudable 🎉😊
