<\/p>\nUgandan comedian, Patrick Salvado on Wednesday took to his official Twitter account to boast that he is the \u201cAfrican comedy giant\u201d in a tweet that has since attracted mixed reactions from his followers and other internet users.<\/p>\n
A section of social media users rushed to the comments section to endorse his new-found title as others trolled him.<\/p>\n
Moments after spotting the tweet, some Ugandan told the comedian to stop overrating himself, advising him to work towards improving his craft. Others branded him \u2018Acholi comedy giant\u2019 in a series of rib-cracking tweets.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am an African Comedy Giant,\u201d Salvado tweeted. KFM understands that the comedian recently had a successful stand-up show in Arua hours before sending the tweet that has since turned controversial.<\/p>\n
\u201cPatrick don’t overrate yourself in Africa. Your comedy may be entertaining to some people, it teaches no moral lesson to viewers and doesn’t shed light on ‘e subjects; Comedy goes beyond making people laugh. Use your craft to address societal issues and help make the world a better place,\u201d one Asha replied to the comedian\u2019s tweet.<\/p>\n
\u201cAcholi comedy giant. Don’t peep where you haven’t reached,\u201d a tweet from Byekwaso, a Twitter user reads.<\/p>\n
However, the comedian also had hundreds of tweeps endorsing his claim of being Africa\u2019s comedy giant. In the mix, some netizens took the tweet for a joke, since the self-styled Man From Ombokolo is a comedian who jokes his way to the bank.<\/p>\n
\u201cI agree entirely. The African English comedy. Then for African Luganda goes to Amooti,\u201d one Andrew Agaba commented.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, NMG\u2019s Gabriel Buule lauded him for dreaming big before seeking God\u2019s blessings. \u201cYou are right to dream big, may God bless your plans,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
